Since I started this blog, the most frequent comment I tend to get goes along the lines of “I’m sorry I don’t drink but I still enjoy your blog”. Well first, thank you, but you know the drinking games aren’t mandatory. I won’t get mad at you if you don’t do them. I don’t even…
Don’t worry I’ll be quiet… I’ll even try to tone down the brightness of this post for you. There, better? It’s o.k., it’ll pass. Everything’s going to be alright. I know, I know – this is the LAST time we do this, we are getting way to old for this stuff!.. Next year in Ibiza?…
I’m just going to be straight with you. This post isn’t about anything really. I don’t have anything in particular to say but I thought we could just chat for a bit. In fact, let me tell you this little story.. I got this blog started (as in I filled out WordPress’ little forms, got…
Yeah…I’m not good at naming posts. I’ve never had a talent for it and I am so jealous of people who can come up with that perfect title off the tops of their heads like it was no big deal. It’s a very big deal! Unless someone is very familiar with your writing already and…
Ironically I wrote this post all by myself I didn’t seek any input or ask for advice. Great start, wouldn’t you say. I firmly believe that collaborative posts are a great and rewarding experience that you should all try out at some point. They’re a great way to get to know some of your fellow…
Some of you may have picked up on the fact that I’m not much of a romantic. It’s not that I have anything against lurve really but I am just generally bored by romantic storylines and find most of what passes for epic love stories to be frankly very unromantic…. I mean people still think…
Did 2017 not turn out exactly how you would have liked it to? Maybe you have a regret here and there. Maybe the entire world just went crazy for the past two years but in hindsight you now know what went wrong? Maybe you just lost your keys, but you know you must have had…
For international anime fans, the prospect of seeing our beloved medium on the big screen has always been something of a pipe dream. Outside specialized film festivals, the lonely representative of anime in theaters has been Ghibli for the past decades. Don’t get me wrong, Ghibli studios have put out some decent films… But it…
ED – I just realized I’m an idiot and didn’t explain what any of this is… Wow – I hope I make it to 2018, folks. Karandi form 100 Word Anime, and I both have very strong feelings about Black Butler that differ on a few key points. One of the biggest ones is that…
One of my favorite new animes in recent history is My Hero Academia. I know, controversial stance! I know why I like MHA, and probably why most of you like it. It’s a cookie cutter shounen, respectfully espousing all the tropes of the genre, in the best way possible. It’s an extremely well made series…
Hello everyone! Maybe you stumbled on here by accident. Maybe I screwed up the scheduling and ended up posting his before Remy but this is part 2 (some of my sharper readers may have picked up on that from the title. In any case, you should probably read part 1 over at the Lily Garden…
Anyone who’s spent any time trying to review, analyse, editorialize a subject, or really just talk to another human being, has a one point run up against the difficulty of making themselves understood. Communicating one’s thoughts clearly is a monumental undertaking at the best of times but difficulties get compounded when you must do so…
Do you ever wake up in the morning and think to yourself – You know what my life needs right now? More dystopia. I know I do! But putting in place a totalitarian government can be time-consuming not to mention expensive. But don’t worry boo, I got you covered. Now you can take that first…
I’m back! Last month I made my first attempt at taking part in an OWLS blog tour and you, yes you, were your usual super supportive and wonderful self, so now I’m back. This’ll learn ya.
Because I am nothing if not original, I bring you a scary story post for Halloween! Some of you may know that I am an avowed and abject coward who will not hesitate to push my own mother in front of me to get away from a Zombie, if my mother wasn’t considerably more frightening…
