The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

Hokay, some random person on the AOD forums is putting together a top ten list of dumbest anime industry moments. I'm...not impressed.

( The List )

And if we might have a brief moment of silence for the glorious gorgeousness that is this...*lusts* Excuse me while I go shuffle around some Amazon.jp orders so I get this faster rather than finishing this entry.

You'd think I'd have learned by now that lack of planning on other people's part really does constitute an emergency on mine. Even when I've been telling people it was going to happen for a year now. And giving them the options. Grrrr...

Oh, and a girl makes one little comment about piranhas, and never gets to live it down. It's not fair I tell you, not fair!

I shall inflict bagpipes on all and sundry to make myself feel better, where "better" = "gleefully evil." I have new discs of Kodocha, Maison Ikkoku, and Petite Cossette waiting for me at home, though, so hopefully the day will pass very, very quickly.

How very odd. Enjoyed by users who liked Martha Stewart Cooking: Favorite Family Dinners, Feng Shui, Myths and Logic of Shaolin Kung Fu, The Real Cancun, Dr. Andrew Weil: 8 Weeks to Optimum Health & Spontaneous Healing, Crunch: Pick Your Spot Pilates, Masters of Poker: Vol. 1: Phil Hellmuth's Million Dollar Poker System, and Winning Strategies: Texas Hold 'Em Poker with Mike Caro. That's a mighty strange combination of titles.

This also disturbs me. Not that it exists or anything like that, but that Netflix carries it. Ew.

I'm going to die of terminal bored.

Addendum:

I read Mystic and Rider yesterday, yet another Sharon Shinn book. Sharon Shinn always makes me happy...except this time. The book rambled from beginning to end, never quite getting to the point before stuttering to a stop. It's not a book - it's half of a book. Or part of a book - it wasn't bad, just painfully incomplete. I'm hoping I'll be much happier with it once the next one rolls around.

Part of it might have been the badly telegraphed romance. I mean - three pages in and I saw it coming. It wasn't bad, but...not her best work. I'd expect her writing to become more polished as she goes along, not less.

Reading list stands thus. It's getting shorter, I swear - but rather than the standalone books, I've been nibbling at various series. Oh, and my SFBC membership books finally arrived. I'd gotten half a dozen bills for them, but no books. A touch annoying. Let's see if they remember that second order I placed or not.

Let us all, as one, point our fingers and laugh at this guy. I'm easily amused.

Also amusing are some of the advertising...advertising that jpine has managed to find. LIGHTNING BOLT! La la lalalala... And last, but certainly not least, hell unleashed.

I've been driving past this for months now and making fun of it. I had no idea it was the first of its kind, I figured there were dozens all over the place. Frednecksburg is not the place I'd pick to put something like this - especially the location it's in. Convenient to Wawa, not much else. Wierd. I had a scoop and didn't even know it!

I'm currently sloshed on tea. Lots of tea. Cups and cups and cups of tea. I've managed to sample nine of my nineteen different teas (since the box arrived at around 4PM yesterday...), and I've fallen completely in love with a few of them. I'm also mildly enamoured with a few of the others, and there are a few I just don't know quite what to think of. Blood Orange tea, for example. Every sip makes me want to exclaim "Tangy!" I don't know if that's good or bad. Depends if I'm in a tangy sort of mood, I guess.

Also, the ingenuiTEA teapot thingee is the Greatest Invention Ever. I mean it this time. For a few days, anyway.
