Team Cinzano

Breaking Away is on! And he’s chasing the Italians. That’s how it should be.

You. The bike. Closing the gap on the Italians. Rossinni’s Barber of Seville playing.

As long as those damn Italian bastards don’t fuck with you, it’s a great day to be on a bike.

Why aren’t you out there?

School Rumble 278

broderic on June 20, 2008

School Rumble chapter 278 is pushing Harima and Sawachika closer and closer together. Darn. The noromo in me hates it. The onigiri follower in me hates it, too. Yet it was inevitable.

Save her Harima! You’re our only hope!

Nuke the fridge

Why haven’t I heard about this phrase before? It wants desperately to be the “jump the shark” for the late 00’s. Oh, well, you can’t have it all I guess.

But it does seem to sum up the problem with the movies nowadays. What to do when you’ve place your characters in an unbelievable, tenuous situation? You nuke the fridge! What absurdity! I like that, but it is the worst way to get out of a jam.

Plus, the fridge thing flying over the heads of the doomed nazis was absolutely brilliant. One step further down the bizarre that was Indy 4.

Link of the Day [6.20.08]

Aya Hirano was Haruhi Suzumiya. She’s also a singer in Japan. And if you would listen to the previous posts for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya songs that I posted you would hear her rocking out. I especially love “God Knows” which I think is my summer anthem of 2008. It fracking rocks like no one’s business and is so cool that I don’t even care what the lyrics mean.

Anyhow, she’s got a new album coming out. Check the link for a preview of the title track.

BTW, she’s cute as all get out as well.
