Bleach, Medical Monster
Adult Swim is going to start showing the Bleach anime this fall. Part 1 of Polite Dissent’s medical annotations for the manga Monster.
The Wonder of Pantyhose
The most excellent Threadbared blog is celebrating Pantyhose Craft Week. I’ve mentioned before that I once worked in a pantyhose factory when I was a teenager. A tree at the end of the driveway attacked my mom’s minivan while I was driving it, totally destroying the rear window. I had to make some money to [...]
New Words and Workstation Lockdown

My feeds don’t work, and when I looked over some of the other blogs I follow that also run WordPress, I’m getting similar bloglines error messages when logging in to see if there are [...]
Troubling Movies
I find the idea of Dallas the Movie rather disturbing. When I saw the trailer for The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, for the first few seconds I was wondering if it was a lame Hollywood adaptation of Initial D, either the manga or the movie. But when I realized that the hero of [...]
htaccess
I think I managed to fix the problem with my .htaccess file. I have no idea how to fix the feed problems with bloglines though.
