I wonder if things are going to get better once school is done.
I’m trying to cram something in tonight, because of class tomorrow. It’s half assed right now (that link will work later this evening. I’ve got dishes in the sink. I’ve got laundry to fold in the drier. I’ve got some to iron. When will this shit end?

If you watch anime or read manga, you are going to encounter the
sexualization of young girls as out right erotic, teasing imagery and
somewhat suggestive poses. Do the authors create this for their
audience or does it come from their imagination? I wonder what it is
about Japanese culture that lets this be pervasive? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolicon
Takano Akira is the silent, quiet, proper one of the famous 2-C girls in School Rumble. She just kissed Hanai?! What does that mean?

Why are you still running Windows? Of course, if you get a Mac, it would be like, "You just threw up in the
punch bowl we all share and now you expect us to believe it's Alphabet
Soup?" Like, when, you know, the aging hipster says, "I like their
older stuff better," in reference to U2 or REM. He just wants you to
get off their bandwagon.http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/

Here's an interesting read about making your neighborhood Borders or B&N
into your own personal library. Specifically, the author calls out the
people lolly-gagging about the manga aisle.I usually spend a lot of time in a bookstore. I confess to doing this
on occasion, but only for the satisfaction of finding an interesting
book. I am guilty at buying books that I don't read. Just not for
manga.http://animealmanac.com/2008/02/27/manga-hobos-japanese-culture-meets-american-laziness/

Today we’re gonna visit the godfather of Japanese manga and anime, Tezuka Osamu. He did Astro Boy and for people my age, he also did what was called in America, Simba the White Lion.
