Nuke the fridge

Why haven’t I heard about this phrase before? It wants desperately to be the “jump the shark” for the late 00’s. Oh, well, you can’t have it all I guess.

But it does seem to sum up the problem with the movies nowadays. What to do when you’ve place your characters in an unbelievable, tenuous situation? You nuke the fridge! What absurdity! I like that, but it is the worst way to get out of a jam.

Plus, the fridge thing flying over the heads of the doomed nazis was absolutely brilliant. One step further down the bizarre that was Indy 4.

Aya Hirano was Haruhi Suzumiya. She’s also a singer in Japan. And if you would listen to the previous posts for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya songs that I posted you would hear her rocking out. I especially love “God Knows” which I think is my summer anthem of 2008. It fracking rocks like no one’s business and is so cool that I don’t even care what the lyrics mean.

Anyhow, she’s got a new album coming out. Check the link for a preview of the title track.

BTW, she’s cute as all get out as well.

The dumb-ass Dems give in and make breaking the law legal. WTF! Corporations are not above the law. They should be held to the same as you and I. Burn them down. Sent from my iPhone

Harem

broderic on June 19, 2008

So reading a lot of romance comedy manga, and I find out that most are part of the manga genre called harem manga. It’s uust as it sounds like.

One guy involved with three or more girls.

What a dilemma for the guy!

And you know that the guy’s an idiot? And the girls are hot? Even the ugly geek girl in glasses, she’s hot, too!

He’ll pursue them all. Yet, does he get the girl of his dreams? The one he deserves? Or does he let them all go so as to not hurt any of them? I don’t know, but it’s fun and interesting.

Strawberry 100% and I”s are what I’m reading. I like them both. I”s is completed, but Strawberry 100% is gonna take a while.
