I just finished watching the last episode of the Star Trek DVD set that Patrick let me borrow.

On a related note, the episode titled "Emergence," the third-to-last episode in the series, mentions a nebula that was named after me! Seriously, the McPherson Nebula; they used it to fire a modified torpedo to generate some form of energy to feed a life form that was taking over the ship and using the holodeck to interpret its frame of mind. (Remember that one, Patrick? They were on a train...)

Watching ep 9 of 'Persona Trinity Soul,' and drip-boy and some older woman (than he) are in a small boat, lookin' like at least 15 miles offshore, talking about nothing in particular (zzz) but something's beginning to *bug* me and then I figure out what it is:

Their boat is completely motionless.

Come ON now - that far offshore?!? The bow and gunwhales are rock steady as office furniture in a TV sitcom. This actually started looking funny after a while...

Having been in the Indian Ocean prior to monsoon season. I can see that happening. An entire ocean mirror smooth, except for the ships wake. No wind at all. Nothing. Just hot. and placid. Day after day just like that. Amazing! 3 months later it was monsoon season. Completely opposite, but not as bad as off the Oregon coast.

Anime Friday, The Girl Who Jumped Through Space. I am having fun with it. Dunno if we'll keep watching it. I may end up having to put it into my Netflix queue a couple years from now! sigh

Rideback. Girls and their mecha, or motorcycle meets ballet. This is cool. One of the ridebacks looks a lot like my old Kawasaki ZRX 1100. Schweet!

Akikan. Boy meets sodapop. Wait, it's a girl, no it's a sodapop. HUH? lol I shoulda stayed for #3. But...

I forget the name of the one with the Soaring Wind style samurai, who everybody thinks is actually a pervert.

Oh drat, Wuntvor didn't post what all we watched Friday. I thought there was a few good new series that we watched.

Ask, and you shall receive:

Akikan! - (”Empty Can”) is the unlikely story of high school boy Kakeru Daichi, whose can of melon juice soda magically transforms into a human girl. Naturally, more “akikan” girls begin appearing, each of them needing to be infused with carbon dioxide from kissing to survive. A definite maybe. This show is weird.

Maria Holic - This is a story about a high school girl, who is scared of boys, who enrolls in an all girls school, hoping to find a female romantic partner. However, her ideal candidate turns out to be a cross-dressing boy! As weird as it sounds the first episode was rather fun. Another definite maybe.

White Album - Tóya Fuji, a college student, is dating a rising idol singer named Yuki Morikawa. There are numerous challenges to the couple's relationship from the other people at Fuji's college, Morikawa's work, and elsewhere. I haven't watched it all the way through yet. Seems sort of slow and beautiful.

Asu no Yoichi - Having been raised and trained for the past seventeen years as a traditional samurai 'bushi', Yoichi was surprised when his father suddenly announces that there nothing more that he could teach his son, but he arranges for Yoichi to continue training at a dojo owned by one of his fathers friends. So now, Yoichi must leave the tranquility of his remote rural mountain life and move to city to live with his fathers friend's family to continue his studies. And if learning how to cope with city life were not hard enough, he finds himself living with 4 beautiful sisters, and having to endure a ‘training’ regiment more severe than he could ever imagine..... This has overtones of Kenichi and Ranma as well as Bamboo Blade and other anime of that ilk. I like it a lot! Watching episode 2 right now!

Sora o Kakeru Shoujo - ("Girl Who Leapt Through Space") The story is set in the year 311 of the Orbital Calendar, when humanity has migrated to countless colony clusters in space. A space colony girl named Akiha Shishidō encounters a malevolent artificial intelligence named Leopard that has been installed on a colony. Akiha is joined by an Inter-Colony Police officer named Itsuki Kannagi, a taciturn young girl named Honoka Kawai, and a robot named Imoko "Imo-chan" Shishidou. Ok, this show is sort of weird, and difficult to follow, they try to do to much in the first episode, but I like it just the same.

Regios - The world was infected by "Pollutant" years ago - world cracked open and generally screwed up. This Pollutant spawns nasty "Pollutant Beasts", but it's also resulted in people gaining special powers. The towns that now litter the world are protected by alchemists and are mobile - these are the "Regios" of the title. The story follows a guy named Lei-Fon Alseif who starts at a new school following the disappearance of his childhood friend and gets recruited into the special 17th Platoon in order to combat Pollutant Beasts. This is a pretty good show so far. Has that sort of disjointed feeling you get with shows like ScryEd, Eureka 7, and Elemental Gelade.

Ride Back - Based on a manga by Kasahara Tetsurou, about a young girl who joins university in 2020, a tumultuous time of oppression and anti-government student riots, and comes across the weird Ride Back Club devoted to "Iron Horse" robot motorcycles. The description is sort of weak. The girl was going to be a ballerina, but tore a ligament in her ankle. The Ride Back is a sort of morphing motorcycle with arms. The front and rear wheels can come closer together and raise the rider up so it looks like you are riding on the shoulders , or back, of a tall humanoid robot, thus the name Ride Back. The ride Back stays upright because of sophisticated computer and most likely a gyro of some sort. Our heroine discovers that a Ride Back can move as freely as a person, and starts literally doing ballet with it. This of course makes her a natural for the Ride Back Club at school. I like this show a lot.

You mean these from two or three pages ago?

I am still working my way through Dennou Coil, I'm up to episode 21. I have also started watching Sora o Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai (Munto TV) - This is a show about the gods in the sky fighting over the decline in magic, and the prophecy that a normal human girl is the answer to their dilema. Has a Escaflowne and Eramentar Gelade feel to it. Maybe even a bit of 12 Kingdoms, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Brigadoon. There is this whole "Our world" and "Their world" thing going on. King of the heavens, Munto, comes to Earth to find the girl of prophecy and take her back to heaven with him. I like it so far.

Xenosaga, the first episode was kind of tough to get through, as it seemed so familiar. But it gets better afterwards. The production values are high in this series, which is nice, as there are only 3 discs.

I just watched an episode of Family Feud.

One of the questions in the final round was "Name something people do when they're alone." The second person said "Make love." No joke!

jaybug · « **Reply #869 on:** January 26, 2009, 09:42:19 pm »

People is the plural of person, no? When I am with my wife we are alone, aren't we? lol Sometimes a saying aloud a thing often helps remove these potential gaffs.

I don't suppose it was with Dickie Dawson was it? Make Love would have been completely appropriate with him on. I don't think you can YouTube an old SNL skit of Family Fued, with John BElushi. THe host kisses the females lewdly, and so Belushi says to cut the carnal crap.

You're right, which is how she thought when she answered, as did 4 people who filled out the survey.

Now I'm watching WWE Monday Night RAW, John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels. The storyline is irrelevant to me in this case; I always root against John Cena, and the fact that it's against HBK makes me cheer against Cena all the more. I can't stand the guy!

The Steve Wilkos show

A guy is being accused of raping his cousin's 5-year-old son. It's sounding like he didn't do it, at least to me. Hang on, they're about to announce the lie detector results...

The mother, according to the test, did not coax her son into saying this guy did it. (She had been accused of doing so and making things up just because she craves attention).

The accused, according to the test, ... ARRRGH!!! Commercials! ... he was also telling the truth!

You made me remember good old Portland Wrestling at the Portland Sports arena in north Portland. Before the WWE, nee WWF existed and sucked all the great wrestlers away; Jesse the Body ( later the Governor) Ventura, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Jimmy Superfly Snuka, Dutch Savage, Adrian Adonis, Playboy Buddy Rose, whom my grandmother loved to hate, Stan the Crusher Stasiak, Lonny Mayne(sic?), and actually a couple of guys I knew later on personally, but didn't know their wrestling name. And to think I was a neighbor of Billy Jack Haynes. There was a waste of...nevermind.

More about Xenosaga. Always interesting to watch people from one religious paradigm interpret other religious paradigms. And I think I more understand as to why I haven't seen one Hindu story in anime, it's far too close to Buddhism, as the latter is a derivative of the former. And everybody knows all about that, right?

5 Centimeters Per Second is what I watched last night. Wow! I really loved the animation of this work. the level of details is wonderful. I'd say it was post-impressionist, as it did not go to photo-realism, but made sure that details portrayed, had meaning, even if they were not photo quality. Otherwise, why pay so much attention to a school floor, that is not a big part of the story, or accurately depict wires on a phone pole? The only thing I would say may be a flaw, is that the trains on the inside are steady as a rock, but from the outside are more life-like in the way they tend to bounce around a bit.

I seriously recommend watching this 3 part series. You want to talk about slice of life? This is the thousand cuts of life. No, it isn't a slasher movie. It's people, and the things that either tear you down, or make you stronger.

Sometimes even I can love a drama piece. This is one of those times.

5 cm/s was amazing. It was one of the few animes that I've actually bought. If you liked that, try out Makoto Shinkai's other stuff: The Place Promised in Our Early Days and Voices of a Distant Star.

Madlax. I wonder if they will get me straightened around before the series ends, and if they do will they kill the show? Confounding, but enjoyable.

Madlax does a lot of jumping around at the beginning. It is a lot like .Hack, slow and hard to grasp at first. You almost need to watch it twice so you can pick-up on what you missed the first time around.

I am thinking about seeing Inkheart, was it any good? So, Jay, your new wife is a SWMBO, eh? Glad you made it home in time.

I have some new shows I am getting for next Anime Friday I started watching them:

Kemono no Souja Erin - Quote AniDB: A fantasy series written by Uehashi Nahoko (Seirei no Moribito) about a young woman who is drawn into a war between kingdoms. She has the ability to command animals, including dragons, as if she was playing a musical instrument. I have 2 episodes so far. I am really enjoying this series.

Natsume Yuujinchou - Quote ANN: Natsume Takashi has the ability to see spirits, which he has long kept secret. However, once he inherits a strange book that belonged to his deceased grandmother, Reiko, he discovers the reason why spirits surround him. Containing the names of these spirits, a binding contract was formed between the spirits and the owner of the book. Now, Natsume is determined to free the spirits and dissolve the contracts. With the help of a spirit cat, his days are filled trying to return the names to these spirits. This is actually an older anime that is starting it's new season. I found out about the new season and am picking up the first 13 episodes so I can enjoy it all. I like what I have watched so far. Kind of like Mushishi or Mokke.

jaybug · « **Reply #887 on:** February 02, 2009, 04:56:25 pm »

3 discs of Madlax, and I have somewhat of an idea as to who the players are. And that is about it! lol We have had some interactions by now, but... no reasons as to why.

Inkheart was good enough to get a January release, instead of a December Christmas break. It does have good acting, Helen Mirren, Jim Broadbent, and I think Brendan Fraser is just fine, better job than he has done in the past few movies.

Found out my "special" DVD player plays DVD+RW, but not +R. sigh. But I found that DVD players exist that have +R capability, I wonder if any are available in Eugene? sigh. And for less than $100!

Groundhog Day was not in the video store, so I rented my wife a chick flick. I got Godzilla Final Wars for myself. Go Go Godzilla! With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say hes got to go
Go go godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes tokyo
Go go godzilla, yeah

Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Godzilla ga ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!

Oh no, they say hes got to go
Go go godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes tokyo
Go go godzilla, yeah

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
Godzilla!

OH! Before I forget. I am going to see the Sword of a Stranger, Thursday. $12.50 per ticket means I am going to have to think of something nice for my wife, and do without some stuff this month.

Looking forward to Friday. Toy Dragons! cool! I wonder if Natsume Yuujinchou will be as artistic, yet as downer as Mushi Shi? Still worth owning.

Godzilla Final Wars, was like watching all the Godzilla movies ever made all at once. So yeah, it made me happy. I especially liked it when they had the American Godzilla in there, and the real Godzilla toasted him in 2 seconds flat. I feel the same way about that one too. Actually the best thing about the American Godzilla film I thought was the French actor Jean Reno. Blew me away to hear him talk like Elvis!

Yeah, if I won the lottery, I would like to try to make a really god Godzilla film. I really feel that the potential for a critically acclaimed film, as well as it being a blast to watch has not been tapped. In so many ways Japan is Godzilla, and he is an icon of Japan. The film makers seemed to think so when he is standing with Fujiyamasama as a backdrop, that's Mt. Fuji to the cretins. He invokes a sense of national pride.
