Cross Game 168
Too bad they’ll never bring the Cross Game manga here. The industry believes that sports manga can’t ever catch on in the US. It’s our loss. Adachi-sensei is a very good story teller. Every time I read the scanlation, I ponder the greatness of this tale. Love, friendship, and baseball. Just plain a great story.
[Although when you read his other manga, you’ll find out that he runs through the same plot devices.]
Adachi-sensei still one of the best you’ll ever read.

I have two things to say about today's link:"Tough." (Steve Jobs isn't gonna let you have it.)"Get off my lawn!" (There are plenty of other platforms that do. Use them.)http://iwantflash.com/iwantflash-petition/
Post Grad
I was watching television last week and saw on Fox Movie Channel (they’ve got like 4 films they continuously show back to back to back to back) when they had a commercial break for the movie Post Grad. I thought hard about it and remembered that I did watch it. I didn’t write a review though so it’s as if I never saw it. And then I had to ask if I did see it.
That shows how much that movie was forgettable. The only cool thing in the movie was the belt buckles. Why’d I go see this? And when?
2 of 5 stars.
Tweet Blogging
This should actually go as a tweet rather than a blog post, but IniTech blocks "social networking" sites. I'll have to post it to my blog.I'm actually listening to The Blue Hearts album. The problem is that the titles of the songs are in kanji. I have no idea of the song I'm listening to. I'll just have to rely on their punk-rock energy to enjoy.
As they’re kissing their hellos
That DNA remix of Suzanne Vega’s Tom’s Diner is about twenty years old. I heard it on the drive home Monday and was instantly transported back. That time of my life. So cherished. The winter of 1990. So fun. I can recall it like yesterday. The sights and sounds of The U, SRC, 4th floor with the guys. And that winter.
I am thinking of your voice…
Link of And Quote of the Day [1.26.10]
"And it's a betrayal of everything Obama's supporters thought they were working for. Just like that, Obama has embraced and validated the Republican world-view – and more specifically, he has embraced the policy ideas of the man he defeated in 2008. A correspondent writes, 'I feel like an idiot for supporting this guy.'"http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/26/obama-liquidates-himself/Sucks.Stupid Dems. Can't do anything right. Shit. Must find job in nicer Social Democratic country.
The Russians Are Coming
I remember this old BBC show, “The Secret Life of Machines.” This was used as its theme song. Never new the name of the Dave Brubeck tune and that this was the reggae version.
Plenty cool to this version. Plenty cool.
