Well it was on sale, so I moved some of the money I planned to spend next week at the anime con into a different mental category and went for it.
Best buy, $41 after taxes. Not a huge sale but the cheapest I'd seen online was $38 so I got it.
Seriesly good. If anime was that price I'd be a happy camper.
Hmm, some interesting deleted bits... nothing too earth-shattering, I see why they got deleted. Now for the documentaries...
I *knew* there was a reason I never got into anime...
Well, you can either watch tons of it without spending hardly any money, or spend tons of money for hardly any anime. It depends. ;-)
Cooool....
Watching a documentary for the pilot. Our hobbity friend made some reference about learning to surf in New Zealand a few years back.
Yeah except they don't seem to like the mud in the jungles.
Talking about how they did the polar bear. Some very silly polar bear puppet shots.
Oh the memories!!! That exact piece is how I found Free Republic back in the day! I was teaching an environmental studies section at the prep school and was looking for humorous material to start the water management section. Did a search and voila - it was posted on Free Republic. It took two more visits before I was hooked. Hooked!
Well that's ironic!
I just got it in email... I didn't know it's one that's been circulating a long time. I don't ~usually~ post stuff that's circulating in email, but I liked the last sentence of the letter so much it was worth it. ;~D
"Being unable to comply with your dam request, and being unable to contact you on your dam answering machine, I am sending this response to your dam office."
Anybody here? ...here? ...here?

Good morning everyone....
Watching the news this morning, the rememberances.
I suppose Corin is battening down his hatches.

Good Morning, sip, sip, sip.
Not near as many flags flying today as there once was. Just a couple on our block and we saw less than a dozen on our walk with Gypsygirl.
The last track I saw has the thing going over the outer banks.
Could use the rain here.
Hmmmm.....it's Sunday. People sleeping in?
Got another hour or so to go on the barbecue.....doing the cat door person thing.
We con't have a flag up. But it's not because we don't care. It's because life is more normal again now. Four years ago, the whole country couldn't shake the images and emotions most of us shared. Now we really have to stop and ~try~ to remember feeling like we did that day.
