“If you call that interfering, there’s something wrong with your Funk ‘n’ Wagnalls.”

T-shirt, please


This needs to be a t-shirt, so I’ll have something to wear when Celebrate Diversity is in the wash.

Skinship gone awry


“When I was your age, ‘blowing off school’ meant something entirely different.”

And so every evening Haruki's studying was prefaced by a 15-minute maternal blow job. His concentration improved; his marks soared.

Zen koan nowhere


Creative Labs has announced their new iPod Mini killerclone, the Zen Micro. It comes in ten different colors (face-plate only, and they all have a blue border), is slightly shorter and thicker, adds an extra gigabyte of storage, and includes FM radio, voice recording, and a removable rechargeable battery, all for the same price as the Mini.

Oh, yeah, and it’s hideous:

Good news, bad news


Good: releasing Aladdin on DVD. Bad: including a video of Jessica Simpson singing “A whole new world”.

Sometimes, it takes a hurricane or three to uncover leftover bombs. Left over from World War II, that is.

Quick take: Seven of Seven (Shichinin no Nana), disc 1


This is a fluffy, squeaky clean little series about a teenage girl named Nana and her six personality-differentiated clones, who appeared after an accident that involved her mad-scientist grandfather, his latest experiment in high-tech prisms, a microwave oven, and a cherry tree. Our Heroine has one goal in life: to pass the high-school entrance exams so she can get into the same school as the boy she has a crush on. Unfortunately, her new sisters share that crush, and that’s not all…

It’s almost painfully cute, with an opening theme to match. Disc 2 just came out, and I’m going to have to buy it.

Update: apparently the associated manga is a bit more fan-service oriented. Obviously I’m going to have to confirm that…

Update: Oh my, yes. The manga version is definitely aimed at a male audience.

Update: Just finished watching disc 2. It’s still cute. I’ll buy the next one.
