"I owe the American people an apology. If I had beaten the old man you'd
of never heard of the kid and you wouldn't be in this mess. So it's all
my fault and I feel that very, very strongly. So this is an important
election for us."Michael Dukakis(h/t Kevin Drum @ MotherJones)
Growing up in the 80s, you could not not have watched MacGyver. He made
a bomb out of chewing gum and a radiator hose! At least that was the
joke at the time. Some of his solutions were ingenious. Others were
hard to believe, but they all contained some truth to the science in
them.Today's site is a contains wealth of MacGyver information, and I'm
sending you to the list of MacGyver solutions. You should also read the
rest of the site to satisfy all your MacGyver interest. The very least
is to check out the entry for the characters Murdoc and Penny Parker.
They were in one of my favorite episodes.http://www.macgyveronline.org/pages/macgyverisms.html

Rockband is probably the only video game I would feel like playing because it’s like you’re in a band pounding on the drums or trilling on the guitar. I just read that they plan to localize it for the Japanese market. No. Fucking. Way. Because if they do “God Knows” or “Lost My Music” from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, I may have to get a game system. That’ll rock.
Anyway, here’s the main RockBand site. You can check out all the songs that have been released for the game. There’s some fun songs there to play, but it won’t be as fun as “God Knows” or “Lost My Music.” I’ll even sing if this happens.
Motel. Money. Murder. Madness.

Just picked up this new manga, Kasumi, and find it a fun read. It’s about a magical girl which puts it right in the shojo genre, but the plot hints at more of a superhero, American comic book action. The main character, Kasumi, isn’t bitten by a spider or born with mutant powers, but acquires some them via mystical lights in the forest.
She’s also a transfer student to an elite high school, and she finds herself an outsider because of her commoner class — now that’s shojo. Kasumi has to fit in, make friends, and discover why she has these new abilities.
Since it’s only on its first volume not too much has been told, but I’m looking forward to the next one.
I’m getting bored with my link of the day/quote of the day posts, but find them very satisfying as they make me keep up the churning of the blog. I’m hoping to get to the end of the year with this style, but only seeing titles in my RSS feed of link/quote of the day is boring.
I’m hoping you readers click through the links and visit the sites I post. I’m also hoping you like the quotes I dredge up. Next month is NewsRadio Quote Month and I am still deciding if the titles will be quotes or just the quote of the day be quotes from the greatest comedy show of all time. I still haven’t delved into the post Phil Hartman years.
Anyway, just had to post something to break up the monotony of the titles. Although this one isn’t that great. Perhaps, I should start twittering.
Driving down your freeway
Midnight alleys roam
The cops and cars
The topless bars
I never saw a woman
So alone

See. I’m not the only one infatuated with anime figures. Here’s a girl that likes to show the world her collection. I wish I could spend my money on these damn things. O, wait I already do! I think my interest was piqued when I spotted the Japanese figures and toys flickr pool. The mecha looked cool, but the darn girly figures were so cute, I just had to have one. Anyway, I do have several plus a set of SD Gundam mechs and two veritech fighters. Onward to more toys!
