I saw this a few days back, but posting it now because its hilarious.

I caught both Bamboo Blade and Kimikiss Pure Rouge on Veoh by watching a fansub. A fansub is an amateur translation. They makes it easy to watch the latest anime from Japan. It also makes it easy to watch what may not make it to the States. Kimikiss just doesn’t seem to be for the American market which just wants Naruto, Bleach, or more DragonBall. The fansubbers try their best, but at times they just get things so wrong. It happens because they want to get it out quick. These are some classic unintentional (maybe) mistakes.

“Based on the savage reviews proliferating on the web and in print, audiences and critics apparently desired a Wrath of Khan, when what they actually get is…The Search for Spock.”

I know some of my readers don’t like reading movie reviews. (Yes, I’m looking at you seed.) Here’s a good one on The X-Files: I Want to Believe. Maybe, I am trying to get a handle of what I saw. I really wanted to like it, but instead the film ruminated upon things I didn’t want to really think too deeply about in the summer. It also was more intellectually challenging than what I was looking for in an X-files film.

The Fat War may be over, but there’s still some mopping up to do.

It’s been about four months since the end of that. And we’ve probably regressed and gained back the weight lost. I keep on cycling, and eating summer salads, but don’t gain any muscle.

This plan sounds intriguing. Sounds it any way. Maybe. But if you do 25 pushups a minute, this will take 4 minutes to do in the end. That’s gotta hurt.

Here’s a new search engine. What?! You use something other than google? Is there anything else besides google? I mean my statcounter when I check the search engine references are nothing but google. Maybe there’s a stray AOL and a technorati search, but it’s 100% google 99.98% of the time.

Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
For I have loved you well and long,
Delighting in your company.

Now they tell me!

“In a post-credits scene, Mulder and Scully, together in swimsuits in a boat on a tropical ocean, casually row toward an island while waving at a helicopter passing overhead.”

Fuck, man. Who’s got the torrent?
