Wait Zac's desk doesn't have liquor bottles around it, what is this madness?

The answer, my friend, is here.

Before I had a good 400+ people on my back about my likes and dislikes but now, just two roomates.

A lock would do nicely with them. Yes, all I need do is put it on a chain...

That's not quite big enough to hold 2 bottles of Scotch though.

Oh dear, I'm afraid I have an entirely too dirty mind....

You know, Hamlet could have been a really great play if it wasn't for the ending. I mean you spend three hours getting to know the characters and then they all die, just as they were starting to understand each other. The play had some great lines and some good action, but now that the characters are all dead, they will no longer be any more wit coming out of Hamlet's mouth, ever. Also, the heroine turns out to be really dead at the end. What was the point of introducing her at all if not to have her reappear at the end so Hamlet could finally be happy? I do not know what the writers were thinking. Hamlet could have been one of the best plays in the english language, ever, if it was not for that terrible ending.

The ending for the Chobits anime has to be the ending that has disappointed me most. It explained nothing and I found it to be rather anti-climatic. It probably didn't help that I read the manga ending first.

This largely echoes my sentiments as well. Some might view it as a sign of the medium's maturing that the fandom has repositioned itself to a per-show basis, as is the case with television, film, and books. But the sum total of us all is still comparatively small compared to all of them, so it all ends up as niches within niches within a niche. Then again, being in your mid-20s effectively makes you twice the age of a great deal of "the anime community" anyway.
