Here's a fresh start to an old blog. How've you been, Internet? I see that you've unexpectedly made me a Something Awful icon (scroll to the bottom of that page). That's new.
I'm finally moved into my new apartment, but Bella hasn't entirely adjusted yet. Every night she wanders here and there in my room while meowing strangely. Each time I open a door she runs to it, expecting to find the cottage or backyard that she knows just on the other side. I certainly hope she gets the idea soon, because it's growing rather tiresome.
It occurs to me that I never posted the list of movies I watched when Dianna went East. Good thing I saved it as a draft, otherwise this vital information might have been lost forever. At one point I had a plan to actually write little mini-reviews of each of these films, but became too caught up in just watching the movies themselves. Consider that bullet dodged, but clicking MORE... will bring you to the very list itself.

gigantic sandwich with olives!! ha ha ha! WHO did that? HOW did you discover it? amazing.
how can you have only watched disc 1 of samurai champloo? did you not love it? i am disappointed in you. i used it once in a lecture as an example of anime's appropriation of western history and styles to create anime-fusion. specifically the episode with the painting. man, that's a good episode. blending ukiyo-e and van gogh's sunflowers in the quest for the samurai who smells of sunflowers. you know monet plagarized japanese art too.

Posted by: the internet on September 9, 2006 10:38 AMMichele: I watched only the first volume 1 of Samurai Champloo because it was the one at the top of my queue. And after vol 1, I didn't find it intriguing enough to bump up the rest of the series. Don't get me wrong: I liked the show, and as time goes by I'll definitely watch the remaining episodes. But I'm not in any hurry.
Internet: How R u? I m fin. Tits.
Posted by: Jacob on September 9, 2006 06:16 PMWow, They Live and Hell Comes to Frogtown! You had a regular Rowdy Roddy Piper film festival. What'd you think of the oeuvre of one of America's foremost wrestler/actors?
Posted by: Zach S. on September 12, 2006 12:40 PMI rented Hell Comes to Frogtown because They Live was so unabashedly awesome. The six-minute alley wrestling match had me rolling in the aisles. Hell Comes to Frogtown didn't really grab me (and put me in a headlock) as much as They Live. But it was still pretty fun.
