I am a member of the ACM (Association of Computing Machinery) for three years. They gave me a mug for my third anniversary.

I’m looking for the Scion of Christ. Or the Order of the Knights of blah, blah, blah. Who knows what it is that IM Pei is trying to hide. I just think that these stories are just stories to tell our grandsons.

Went to the big Thanksgiving sale at my local comic shop. Picked up both hardcover volumes of Osamu Tezuka’s Black Jack at two for the price of one. I don’t know about Tezuka. He’s the godfather of Japanese manga, but his stories, especially the releases from Vertical, are pretty gruesome. The have cute characters, but then they feature gore. It’s like a rated R cartoon with cute Disney characters. Disturbing.

I’m drawing a blank today. So just google for what you want.

And if I say to you tomorrow
Take my hand, child, come with me
It’s to a castle I will take you
Where what’s to be, they say will be

I link to Danny Choo on occasion, because it is required of anime/manga/figure fanatics to do so. Here’s an especially interesting way to buy anime porn. Funny.

Quote of the Day [11.27.08]
“We must entertain each other in brotherly affection. We must be willing to abridge ourselves of our superfluities, for the supply of others’ necessities. We must uphold a familiar commerce together in all meekness, gentleness, patience and liberality. We must delight in each other; make others’ conditions our own; rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer together, always having before our eyes our commission and community in the work, as members of the same body. So shall we keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.”
“A Model of Christian Charity” John Winthrop 1630

Forget their blue ray releases, here’s something even more amazing from Criterion: online viewing. For $5, you can watch some of their movies online. I’ve seen at least two on the list, Sans Soliel and Cranes Flying. I would watch Cranes again, but I already got the other.
