“My full name is Gertie Ball, but please, just call me Gertie. I want to be your special play ball. Play with me any way you want: Grab Me, Throw Me, Feel Me, Catch Me, Touch Me, Kick Me, Squeeze Me, Bounce Me. I know once you pick me up, you’ll never want to put me down. But if you do, I’ll bounce right back to you.”

Good Eats! The Return 1&2


It’s back, it’s back, it’s back-to-back, it’s… chicken parmesan and hipster grains? Eh, whatever, it’s Alton doin’ his thing, so it’s worth watching. Just don’t expect me to start calling chia and quinoa “Good Eats”….

Note that when introducing his “favorite quinoa recipe”, he apologizes for the half-stick of butter, 3 cups of half-and-half, and half-cup of mayo, but not for the 12oz of broccoli, which I find far more disturbing.

(file under peculiar that the ads DirecTV forces you to watch with Good Eats on their app are all aimed squarely at housewives; pity that I had to use the app to watch at my office, instead of on my DVR, where I never see any ads at all)

Now I’m free to catch up on Cop Craft! Hmmm, and there’s a new episode of Sounan Desu Ka?, but I’m guessing that the focus on Homare’s dad will not produce the quantity of fan-service that last episode did.

The future that never was...


Slightly less likely than cold fusion, it’s The Year Of The Linux Desktop. The video explains a lot, really.

OMC: Hitomi Yasueda


My only complaint about the quality and quantity of skin that Hitomi Yasueda (安枝瞳) frequently displays is that there are a number of pictures where her lack of a top should result in at least a hint of areola and/or nipple, but the Barbie filter is set to “nope”. As compensation, they spare no effort to prove that she’s got more ass than all but the most-genetically-gifted of Japanese women.

Born in 1988 and still working, which makes even her earliest photos comfortingly legal for prolonged ogling.

DanMachi 2.7


The Haruhime storyline advances. Are they going to make it the whole rest of the season? I’ve kind of forgotten what happens after that, so I’m not sure if that’s good or bad.

This week’s new character in the game is Lena; cute, but the only reason I remember her is because she recently starred in the “Bete’s would-be baby-momma” story in the side novels.

Related, it’s refreshing to see Lili drawn at the correct scale again. In the game, everyone is shown at more or less the same size, which is a good thing, or Lili would be covered by the dialogue boxes and Hestia would be cut off at the boobs.

Bee Wars...


After viewing the new Star Wars trailer, I’m thinking The Babylon Bee nailed it.

I’d have to finish watching the previous movie to have much interest in this one, but first I’d have to rewatch the beginning up to where I completely lost interest, and I’m just not motivated to do that any time soon.

Are you being serviced?


Largely due to the voice actresses enthusiastically embracing their roles, and the girls being well-drawn, Sounan Desu Ka? (“Are We Shipwrecked?”) is actually an amusing little show, and episode 8 finally delivers more than token fan-service, courtesy of a conveniently-placed hot spring.
