For the record, I live here too, and it's not really hot so much as it is 'pleasant' all the time. It just never gets cold and winter is just a slightly more overcast version of the fall, which bugs people who really love digging their cars out of the snow and dealing with icy roads.

I'm guessing you and Bamboo live more towards the east area and don't wear undergarments most of the time at home 'cause I was REALLY freezing these past couple days. Anything cooler and I'm a mansicle.

Bamboo, Orange loves you and your wacky adventures. Here's to another 2000!


East area? I live right on the coast, dawg. Literally, it's a five minute drive to ocean. And it has not been freezing the past couple days. There is something wrong with your circulatory system.

Now--a haremesque anime based off an erotic computer game? I wouldn't have poked this thing with a stick if you hadn't mentioned it, but I absolutely fell in love with it.


You know, I was just as pleasantly surprised as you were. I was really dreading watching it, but I found that once I started, I really couldn't stop. That series has a lot of emotional depth to it that you wouldn't expect from the surface.

So does this mean the the framed cells, or the wall scrolls, flank your diplomas?


; ) Are you calling my diplomas a useless waste of money? ...actually, you might be right about that. I paid way too much money for school.

However, I'm proud to report that I haven't hung up wall scrolls since I was 15, because that does not impress the men. And my cels are inside portfolio binders, with the exception of an amazing cel of He-Man choking a strange bird-creature, which is on my wall. Smile And actually, my diploma is sitting in a drawer somewhere. =/ So wow, I apparently do have poor taste. ;___;

Because we both have our respective diplomas in a drawer?

Dude, that's like saying, "Hey, I also like breathing air! We have something in common!" or "You like ice cream too? Wooooaah!"

Not that we don't have things in common. I'm just sayin'.

So....hanging wall scrolls doesn't impress the men....but a cel of He-Man choking a bird creature apparently is ok....well....my family (many from So.Cal) always did say Cali is a weird but wonderful place heh.

Wow! You breathe air too? It's like we are twins! Next you'll tell me you are warm blooded and walk upright! Soooo freaky.


Yes, I am kidding of course. Very Happy

Nope ... certainly not any worse off than anyone who paid less for a public college (or public school for that matter) that has to look back and marvel at their tax dollars being well spent.

Between He-man and the doctorate, if you cannot impress, then intimidate. Though not sure what all the hubub about desk drawers is. My top guesses are shelf, closet, or random box in storage. Though desk/other drawer is entirely possible, as it all depends on which pocket dimension formed when I thought (or worse uttered) the phrase "Let me put this someplace safe, where I can find it again later."

He-Man is old school and iconic. It's totally different.

I like to see a hockey anime too, but I don't think hockey is popular enough in Japan to warrent one.


Not yet, cheesy shoujo series. Laughing

So are you a Ducks fan then? (Or a Hockey fan in general for that matter?) I guess the Ducks probably get a lot of bandwagon jumpers with their sudden rise to success the last few years.


Nooooooooooooooooo. No no no no no no. The only time I've ever been a Ducks fan is when it was a Disney trilogy and involved Emilio.

I am an Avs fan all the way.


An anime fan and an Avalanche fan, you are 100% pure awesome.

Congrats on 200 Smile

Happy 200 Bamboo!


Saikano is one of my all-time favorites too. During one of your reviews of Gunslinger Girl when you used to do the "if you like this show, then you should try..." Well I went right out to my local Suncoast (I miss Suncoast!) and bought all four volumes. I watched the whole thing over the space of 36 hours. I had to take breaks, which I'm sure you understand why. I don't think I've ever cried so much over a single show as I have for Saikano.

Thank you for turning me on to that beautiful show, and for also giving me insight on several others as well. Smile

Yeah, I heard about that manga. There was a good article about it in Newtype USA a few years ago. If I see it I might give it a try. Thanks Cool .

But what Psycho 101 and I were referring to was ice hockey. My Heavenly Hockey Club is about field hockey, which is completely different.

That is true. Plus I suppose it could serve as a warning as well to people. If they try and mess with your stuff without permission they might find themselves in a reenactment of the photo and on the receiving end. Laughing

Yes, but without pads the ref has to be on form to tell. Wink

Field hockey is meant for high school girls in miniskirts. Real men strap on the skates. Razz

I'd like you to say that to the girls when they have their sticks in their hands mate. Wink
