Post send off finds our gang, and in particular, Yakumo, adjusting to life with out Tenma. Seems that alls well that ends well.
Except for Harima who acts the loner.
Good for him. Good for Itoko-sensei for trying to knock some sense into him.
With this turn of events, does it feel like this series will last another several years?
Netflix queue is stuck.
I’ve been too busy watching School Rumble or The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Plus maybe I’ve reached my limit for wanting to watch a movie. I should just change my subscription to the cheapest one they got. I wonder what that is.
Here's my latest anime viewing: "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya."
Nothing can compare to School Rumble, for me, but this one isn't so bad.
It's science fiction and a very light touch. I seem to be drifting away from mecha. Big robots are starting to bore
me. I like the romantic comedies or even some kind of comedy or even
some stuff. But the robots are getting played out. Luckily, for me this one is just a plain anime. It's a novel in Japan,
so I don't think they'll try to translate it for the English audience.
Yet, it's going through as much change as other manga. It's like one of
young adult fiction stories you see in the bookstore. Too low for my
station? Yet, it's a fascinating tale. The first DVD is somewhat
boring, but the second disc delivers some bangs like a kiss. Nice.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Melancholy_of_Haruhi_Suzumiya
George Clooney acts and directs the roaring twenties football rom-com, Leatherheads. George Clooney in a film set in the twenties should remind you of “O brother, where art though?” And that should remind you of his work with the Coen brothers and their love for staging an exact simulacra of a period in America. Then you find out that Renee Zellwegger plays a fast talking career gal reporter and this may be some kind of screwball comedy homage.
Then you watch the movie.
It’s nothing like this.
Leatherheads completely missis the point of all that. Clooney, you would think, could’ve captured the magic of the Coens and served a throwback to screwball comedies, but decided to mix and match story and tone of the show. It was a mess. A romantic comedy that had no laughs. A grid iron story that lacked oomph. A sad spectacle as the final big game in the mud. It was 3-0 until the end. And it was a boring game. Same for the movie.
2 of 5 stars.
I’m all caught up with School Rumble, the manga and the anime as well.
I’m reacting very differently between the two mediums. In the anime, I’m rooting for Yakumo, Imouto-san, but the manga makes me hope for Sawachika Eri. Perhaps, it’s the pacing of the read which gives more hints at what each character is thinking and provides more introspective moments. Or it’s the fact that it’s about 268 volumes that give a sense of what the author is trying to achieve.
Anyway, it looks as if the manga is coming to an end within the next few months. And it will be a bittersweet ending. I have to say that that is probably the only way it has to be. Of course, that’s me wishing for this type of ending. Perhaps, the author is smarter than me and will make it more interesting.
As a packrat, reading the tips on Unclutterer scares me.
What if I needed that?
What if I have want to remember that?
What if I may use that again?
Perhaps we should have some kind of life lending library. Stuff on loan for you to use, but return in a week when you get bored with it.
Forty years ago today, Martin Luther King Jr., one of the greatest
Americans, was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. Let's not forget
what his courage means to us and to our nation.
And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let
freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom
ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the
heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every
mountainside, let freedom ring.And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it
ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every
city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children,
black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics,
will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro
spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free
at last!"
I’ve been reading School Rumble online and I must tell you that books aren’t dead. It pretty much blows reading these scans. On my laptop, I have to scroll to read a page. That sucks. Plus, I can’t spend time looking over some of the art work. That sucks.
When will they get to this point of the story? Can’t they just hire these fools to do their translation? They would be done by then.
What happens when in 2.0.1 they introduce the rotating keyboard?http://www.mytouchkeys.com/
