Merry Christmas to all! Some of you may recall that the past 2 years, I did a “12 Days of Anime” writing challenge (which I called, appropriately enough, “12 Days of Anitay”) on the old Kinja site(s). I saved them both here and on the new Anitay.org, and this year I did an all new … Read more
Random and silly… a few of my favorite ALL THE THINGS! memes. Right. Definitely, we want… When was that again? Share your favorites!
(Originally posted 2016-03-30) Matt Sayer had a great article on why he’s a fan of the LEGO video games as a space (and money) saver over the real thing. Like him, I’m totally onboard with Traveller’s Tales’ series of licensed games. I’ve played at least some part of most of them, and own almost all of … Read more
(Originally posted 2016-03-09) I started following Deadspin’s “Adequate Man” (RIP, to both) sub-site from the beginning, intrigued by the idea of “let’s have some articles on how to be adequate at things”. Naturally, this has since devolved into other random stuff, but I was inspired to explore the topic of what an “adequate man” should have in … Read more
(Originally posted 2016-02-23) Warning: The following is not directly game or anime related, and might be a bit depressing. I wanted to write something nice and fluffy about Love, and throw in some fun music. But I’ve got nothing in that vein, and some recent events near me instead brought up a different idea.

(Originally posted 2015-12-09) In 2011, Traveller’s Tales and LucasArts released LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, based on the animated series. It received generally meh reviews (averaging about a 6.5/10) from critics, but I’m here to say: the heck with those guys. This thing was fun, and a big step forward in LEGO games. LEGO … Read more
(Originally posted 2015-04-06) So, although I haven’t put together a mix CD in a while, on my drive home today, my wandering mind decided maybe I should do a mix of great soundtrack songs. Then I decided to put some rules on it: The song had to be written for the movie. Not a previous song used … Read more
(Originally posted 2015-03-11) So my son’s watching Sprout, and there’s this episode of Thomas and Friends (showing as I type, but I caught it before the other day), where Emily winds up making a helluva mess by trying to put flowers all over the quarry (and causing accidents with Edward and Thomas as a result) in order … Read more
(Originally posted on 2019-12-25) SHE IS HERE. Even the Nesos get in on the fun! But Santa Alter and the other Santas want in too! As an aside: I’m a terrible person who needs more of the FGO: Learning With Manga anime, because Gudako is best. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All! I hope … Read more
