‘Twas going to complain about a general lack of updates on Brennen’s diary of late, but then I realized how hypocritical that would be if I didn’t do a diary entry myself. But now I am writing a diary entry, so can I complain now? I decided I’m not going to. But I already have. Went to an explanation of stock options at work today, and I’m starting to grok the bare essentials. I’m going […]

Hmmm. I have a rant about economics and rich people and taxation based on a conversation with Saalon (and a recent entry in his diary, which he’s started using now), but I think it’ll wait for another day. I have other stuff to talk about for now. I woke up this morning in a very sturdy funk. I couldn’t drag myself out of bed, which meant that I couldn’t go to church with my parents. On today, of all […]

On the subject of that “White Reflection” video. It occurred to me that, for some odd reason, I feel a kinship with Two-Mix (the band) after watching that video. Why? I think it’s because of the nature of the video. In it, anime-ized versions of the members of Two-Mix see a glowing ball of light, and follow it across the U.S. As they travel from town to town, they are shown writing the song “White Reflection.” I feel like I’ve […]

Been downloading a slew of new anime music videos. There are a lot of good ones out there. Particularly, “She Blinded Me With Science” set to Washu footage, Weird Al’s “It’s All About the Pentiums” seto to lain (oddly enough, it’s effective), and the theme to “Fat Albert” set to Street Fighter II. There’s also “Two Mix — White Reflection,” which looks like an actual music video, just […]

Don’t know how long it’ll stay up, but there’s a job opening advertised at HeadHunter for anyone with…above-average powers. Very cute. And now I realize that I should really skim back through my past diary entries and clean out any dead links. Now that’ll be a job; this diary is already two and a half years old. Lessee. I watched Digimon: The Movie last night. It was…OK, with […]

Well, I see that Cowboy Bebop.com has been updated with a new site design, and new content. Unfortunately, it’s being hammered by site requests, so it’s rather difficult to explore today. Meanwhile, there’s not much to report. I made a lemon cream pie last night, but it didn’t mix well and will probably come out lumpy. But that’s OK; cooking is like that. I’d […]

Woke up nauseous this morning, and didn’t go in to work. Nothing really serious, though; I should be fine by tomorrow. So, I re-watched Mighty Space Miners to find footage for the anime music video I wanted to make out of it, only to realize that there’s really not enough footage there for the video I wanted to make. I was really disappointed, as MSM captures the feel of real life in space better than really any […]

Well, I couldn’t go to sleep last night, so after working on the library, I finished reading Terry Pratchett’s The Fifth Elephant. It was, of course, excellent; Sam Vimes goes to Uberwald, a land of werewolves and vampires, to act as an ambassador. And, trained cop that he is, he doesn’t go over very well. Great stuff. So, I slept until 1:00 p.m. (missing church :-/ ). Right now it’s […]

Hey, Glitch just pointed me in the direction of 1/0, yet another online comic (at least this one’s not anime-related). The writing is amazingly deft, particularly in its current storyline regarding faith and homosexuality. And from there, I came to Freefall, a furry SF strip that I’ve only just begun to read. Very, very nice, though, and also well-written. Woke up at noon today (thankfully, since I’ve been low […]

Finally! I got on Hotline today and was able to connect to bakaserver.dyndns.org, a Hotline server run by a member of the neobaka crew. He has a whole slew of anime music videos on there, so all during work I was jumping back to Hotline to grab another file. Though there were so many people trying to download that I just spent most of my time uploading my own videos. Hotline’s a pretty neat service; it’s not […]
