Of course, on a day like this, it had to be about Thanatos, the god of death. He’s a young guy with wings, and he goes about indiscriminately taking the lives of fools. Do not blame him for he awaits all of us.
Quote of the Day [2.13.09]
“I know we’ve only known each other four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days. The first day seemed like a week and the second day seemed like five days. And the third day seemed like a week again and the fourth day seemed like eight days. And the fifth day you went to see your mother and that seemed just like a day, and then you came back and later on the sixth day, in the evening, when we saw each other, that started seeming like two days, so in the evening it seemed like two days spilling over into the next day and that started seeming like four days, so at the end of the sixth day on into the seventh day, it seemed like a total of five days. And the sixth day seemed like a week and a half. I have it written down, but I can show it to you tomorrow if you want to see it.”

You know of my love of battleships. And you know I’m in my crazy otaku, anime, manga phase. For the last 3 months, because I’ve throttled back my netflix account, I’ve ben watching the anime Zipang. It posits a modern Aegis Guided Missile Destroyer, DDG-182 Mirai, that travels back in time into the middle of World War II. The crew and her ship find themselves in the middle of the Battle of Midway, they find themselves in the middle of the Battle for Guadalcanal, and they find themselves in the middle of changing the future. Will they be able to get back to their time?
Today’s link takes you to the manga for Zipang in the Weekly Morning magazine. It’s all in Japanese, but there’s some cool stuff there like the pictures of the Mirai. They also have some statistics on the ship itself. I like the fact that they are using the MK41 Vertical Launching System. What a cool show!
The time has almost arrived!!
