My Leper Pony. Who had My Little Ponies when you were little? I had an entire herd, and was constantly using them to tell epic stories about war and kidnapping and battles and dramatic rescues, which tended to involve way more violence and far less hair-combing than I think the makers intended. I would have loved a Leper Pony.

Five Boroughs Ice Cream. Ha, this is awesome! I wish my neighborhood had a flavor. Actually, these sound really tasty, but I think I'm too lazy to go out to Queens just to buy ice cream.

Texas Senator proposes offering $500 to women who give up their children for adoption. Wow. Selling children. That's totally a good way to make the pro-life supporters look not insane.

You know that Hemmingway quote which starts, "the world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places"? I love that quote. I've used it for a title. What I would not want, however, is it on a t-shirt. The internet really does have everything; too bad so much of it is stuff you can't imagine being useful.

Some interesting videos:
Kermit the Frog covers Nine Inch Nail's 'Hurt'. I... I... there are no words to describe this. I recommend you watch only if you enjoy seeing your childhood icons destroyed; it's nearly as bad as the Carebears BDSM story, really.

Tech Support in the Middle Ages. Ha! Very funny, a Monty Python-style sketch.

I was going to go dancing this weekend, but I'd forgotten that I'd accidentally given myself an enormous blister and that it hurts to walk now. Someday, I understand, I may actually grow up enough to refrain from constantly injuring myself, but at the moment at least it makes for amusing stories.

Ahhhhh, awesome! Oh, I wish my Japanese was better than it is, because I won't understand anything. But still, there's always just watching the pretty pictures. Thank you!

I understood a little bit, but the whole "follow the pictures and guess" way worked better than I thought it would. It popped into my head today and I decided to go rewatch the trailer, realised they had episode numbers up, and then went to hunt for raw direct download links as torrents don't work for me. It was worth it, though. :D

Eee, cool. I do hope someone translates it soon; it seems like Gankutsuou got subbed very quickly, but I'm not sure if "quickly" was weeks or months or what.
