Being a fan of nendoroids is getting to be expensive. The Good Smile
Company has flooded the market with many that I like. I've already
preordered a few, and I was looking at HobbySearch this morning and saw
a few more that I want to preorder. Here's the chica from the Canaan anime:

weak against the dollar when the preorders come time to bill.

District 9

District 9 was supposedly consolation for the director in the cancellation of The Halo movie. Maybe the last half of the movie was left over from the screen play. It started as a faux documentary on the political problems with immigration of aliens (from another planet). Then the script changes into the standard summer shoot ’em up: the Halo Movie. Should the movie had changed? I don’t know, but it happens every time in the summer. They need the action. Abandon the story.

And what did they abandon? Some logic. Why would aliens make alien technology weapons that are awesome, then just roll over when the po-po come to kick them out? Why would aliens need to horde human weapons? Why wouldn’t aliens just be taking over the planet? No sense.

Meh. It’s just another summer movie. Turn your brain off and go enjoy the aircon.

3 of 5 stars.

What the Dems need is to cram the health care reform down these people’s throats. Let them choke on that for the time being. They should treat these people with contempt. It really is ridiculous what these fuckers claim.

These white people, and it is almost exclusively white, are too selfish for words. They don’t understand the intent of the health care reform. To put it plainly, it’s to give health care insurance to those who don’t currently have it in the least costliest of ways. These white people, and it is almost exclusively white, don’t want to share with anyone. Heaven forbid that the poor, sick, or the uninsured get health insurance. They don’t want to share in the cost. They want to live in the greatest country in the world, but don’t contribute. I say get the fuck out then.
