Finish him
What’s next on the anime list?
I just finished up Bamboo Blade. I think I have a new favorite. So fun. Not overtly showing fanservice. Tama-chan is the bomb.
And Miya Miya. Yanderekko to the max.
Miya Miya.
Blown Away
Driving into work and I make a quick move to avoid a car. My hat slides across my dashboard and out into the morning air. D’oh! I’m so unlucky with caps. I’ll get another. I could’ve reached out and stopped it. It moved in slow motion, across the dashboard, hung up for a microsecond on the lip of the door then, whoosh. I watch it in my rearview mirror. Sayonora, baseball cap.

What a strange culture Japan is. They took a fetish from the anime geeks and parlayed it into an actual business.
Maid cafes!
Imagine if they did that in the US. Furry cafes! That would be a site to behold.

“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.”

Today’s link is to Krispy Kreme in Japam. What’s so special about that? I don’t know but it’s interesting to me. I’m wondering about the flavors they have. Do they go beyond glazed? From looking at the home page picture, I think they do things a little differently than they do here.
Dried squid flavor anyone?

O’s v Red Sox
Originally uploaded by browsermetrics.
Celebrated Marge’s birthday watching the Orioles lose to the Red Sox, 6-3. These were really good seats and I haven’t sat this close since InitTech corporate seats along the third base side. Oops, we did sit behind home plate last time for the remainder of a rain delayed game.
Red Sox nation was in full effect. They were cheering for Manny Ramirez hitting his 500th homer. Boy, the place was crawling with lousy Red Sox fans. I think I hate them more than Yankees fans.
Was fun to heckle them and their team even in the losing effort. They would taunt back and say, “Scoreboard,” or “Who’s in last place?” but the best retort is “Who cares?” Show ’em it don’t mean a thing really and you don’t label your life around a silly game.
Still, it’s fun to drink beer, yell at millionaires and enjoy stupid, fun times.
Bamboo Blade
Since I’m done with Kimikiss Pure Rouge, the next anime I’m watching is Bamboo Blade. It’s the story of five girls gathered together to win a kendo tournament and do it for justice. Or something like that.
I’ve read the manga up to a point and I’m eagerly awaiting for the serialization in the states in the new Yen+ magazine. But the anime is so much better so far because of the personality it imparts onto Tama-chan.
She’s the Kyūzō character, stone face but awesome at kendo. That’s why I’m posting episode 2 instead of the first episode. It shows her at her best. Kawaii! And an expert!

Because I highly doubt any of my readers would actually watch the animes that I watch. Here’s an episode guide to Kimikiss Pure Rouge. It’ll make it easier than watching the full 24 episode run. Don’t say I didn’t do anything for you.
