Yotsuba! Is coming again! Stop what you’re doing and run, don’t walk, to your nearest manga retailer to pick up Yotsuba!

Of course, on a day like this, it had to be about Thanatos, the god of death. He’s a young guy with wings, and he goes about indiscriminately taking the lives of fools. Do not blame him for he awaits all of us.

You know of my love of battleships. And you know I’m in my crazy otaku, anime, manga phase. For the last 3 months, because I’ve throttled back my netflix account, I’ve ben watching the anime Zipang. It posits a modern Aegis Guided Missile Destroyer, DDG-182 Mirai, that travels back in time into the middle of World War II. The crew and her ship find themselves in the middle of the Battle of Midway, they find themselves in the middle of the Battle for Guadalcanal, and they find themselves in the middle of changing the future. Will they be able to get back to their time?
Today’s link takes you to the manga for Zipang in the Weekly Morning magazine. It’s all in Japanese, but there’s some cool stuff there like the pictures of the Mirai. They also have some statistics on the ship itself. I like the fact that they are using the MK41 Vertical Launching System. What a cool show!

Get yourself new strings and re-string your guitar. It makes your guitar sound better.

While we wait for me to open up the voting, try your hand at losing real money by betting on the Oscars. It’s up to you to decide, but sites such as today’s link help distill the common wisdom of the bookie.
I’m already giving you prizes with no purchase necessary. I’m not gonna throw good money away on foolish choices. Then again, Heath Ledger winning best supporting actor is a lock, and you can take that to the bank.

I’m probably reposting this, but, since it’s 12 hours behind
Happy birthday to Nozomi Sasaki!

Le Tour Eiffel est trés beau.
Why is it never, “I love Paris in the winter?” I remember it in the summer and the spring and fall, but the verse for winter escapes me.

Abe Lincoln was arguably the greatest president of the United States. He defeated those who wanted to destroy the Union, and placed the country on its path to greatness. If only the current president would defeat those who want to destroy the Union, then he would rise to the pantheon of those presidents who made the world a better place.
Read about the trials and tribulations of Lincoln as today’s link examines a few portraits of this great man.
