Gurren Dubben. Gotta love streaming.
Shame they make the names sounds stupid.

At least Simon is sounding good. Hopefully Kamina will pick up as the action does.
Also, American are silly.

What the hell? This is a half hour show and we've already had two ad breaks?

Confirmed for not bad at all.

It all depends on what channel you're watching. Shows on Adult Swim, for example, typically only have one ad per show [unless it's one of their 15-minute shows].
Prime time dramas and the such are highly saturated with commercials. I remember watching the Heroes second season premiere back in September and there were so many commercial breaks I lost count.

Possibly. A lot of them were pretty funny in a bad way. the eSurance ones with "Our policies will get you animated" were awful and thus funny.

SciFi, which explains the amount of fast food adverts.
Sadly it seemed some content was cut for no reason other than to make room for adverts and some of breaks were in really bad spots. Ultimate crime though lies in getting rid of the eye catches. They were wonderful.
Also, why are you watching American TV?

I decided to check out the dub of Gurren Lagann and 4chan had a few streams going. T'was kind of fun. Like the anime nights we tried to go for on the irc channel.
Current thoughts:
-Damn. PirateBay is down again
; Seems like it goes down at least once a week.
-I feel like having a Lord of the Rings movie marathon after listening to the soundtracks all day at work. Hm.
-My nose is runny. And I just spotted a large spider on my wall.

Funny you should say that. I just watched a trailer for Sasami: Magical Girl's Club. Her name should be Sah-Sah-Mee, like it's been in the dub for about, oh, 8 years. But I guess Caitlin Glass decided she better say Sah-Suh-Mee. Not to mention the horrid art, terrible un-Tenchi like concept, and unfitting VAs. Alison Viktorin is not Sasami-sounding, just like Luci Christian is nowhere near Washu. And again, the annoying new art...

I find that quite upsetting, actually.
Just stick with the original art. Please.

we should try for that again... maybe something soon
No point in complaining about the amount of ad's Americans have during their shows....they don't have to pay a TV license to watch the BBC (or any tv for that matter).

Elaborate? [/slow]
To watch TV, we have to pay about £136 a year. This is because the BBC shows no adverts, therefore we have to pay for them to make programs. Even if we don't watch the BBC, we still have to buy the license....or men come round and break your thumbs.
At Uni, we all had to pay for one for each seperate room, rather than one between us in an apartment. They know how to make their money the thieving bastards.

It's worth it though. The Beeb make great documentaries no other channel would put money into.
FYI: Haagen Dazs are a bunch a Nazis when it come to making their product. And to be honest it not that good to warrant the eight buck it costs to get a half pint of the stuff. Especially their vanilla flavor, too much egg...
What I love(d) about one of the public libraries in my area is how the sci-fi/fantasy books have their own dedicated shelves (for my easy browsing). It's been about a year since I last visited and, well...the section is no more. The sci-fi/fantasy books have been dispersed amongst the general fiction. This makes me sad. :(
Interesting.
A 5.8 earthquake fifty miles from our area rocked our street to the point where lamp posts started swaying and the staircase separated about an inch from the wall.
Then people started walking around, claiming they needed to leave work early. Hm.
And somehow my mom managed to call me during the earthquake, but then the lines went down after.
Still, it was...'fun'?

I thought so. :D We don't live close enough to the epicenter to get much earthquake drama locally--hell, we couldn't even feel any of the 30-ish aftershocks--but the 10-15 seconds of house-creaking tremor was pretty exciting. Not enough to send folks in my neighborhood outside, but still. (Or maybe they were at work? Or just lazy? Could be either.) It's a good thing no one was seriously injured and nothing was seriously damaged. And this is only a 'moderate' quake. Momma Earth is simply bracing us for THE BIG ONE. :D

You Californians and your earthquakes. All I get up here are 2-3 fires a day. Many of them less than 2 miles from my house.

My parents prefer earthquakes over fires, else they would've gotten a house up on/against some fire-prone mountain where the danger is seasonal. We like the surprise of earthquakes.Also: Californians, on the whole, are notoriously self-centered. Any little thing that happens here gets broadcasted nation-wide by any means possible. I'm just doing my part.
Over here we get...shootings, kidnappings, bomb threats, ect. Not many fires, and like, no earthquakes.
All of America has shootings. It's like your number one pastime.
Also, I'd have thought Vegas would be the place for Kidnapping due to a bunch of tourists carrying tons of cash. Why would you want to kidnap anyone in New York? Everyone there sucks. Every. Single. Person*

Con is on friday and I am so unprepared.
Also, it falls on me to paint a custom card for our theater director in one night. I have so much else to do, but among the things I have, alas, the balls to say "Actually I have too much other art to finish" is not one.
Also have the task of finding rambutan for a fruit basket and getting some prints done at a proper print shop downtown. Also must find corkboard, file folders and file protectors. All of this must be configured on a bus route.
Also, also must practice wrapping a sari and put together my earrings.
What the frell am I doing online? I have crap to do! *runs into wall*

-Great. Now that California's had an earthquake, people in my area are on edge. It's rather annoying. If it happens, it happens. I don't really like earthquakes, though, so... *knocks on wood*
-I'm sad! Tomorrow's my official last day at the camp I volunteer at! The people there are so nice! I'm going to miss them!
-Demotivational posters are... interesting.
-There's a lot of stuff I want to learn how to do before I get too old: fencing, rock-climbing, ballroom dancing, archery... I really need to do some of this stuff!

The storm that went through here sounded like bombs were going off. I'm honestly surprised we didn't get some kind of tornado. I somehow doubt you'd want that...but, to each their own.

No, no...nothing like that; just too...annoying. As annoying as the Indiana Jones craze.
I want to see 'Hellboy II', though. That looks pretty good, though I'm disappointed that the John Myers character from the last movie won't be in it.
'Breaking Dawn' came out at midnight.
And you know what?
...I never encountered so many screaming fangirls at a bookstore. Ever. It was frightening.
"EDWARD'S NOT A GARY-SUE!!"
"Jacob kicks a$$!!"
...Right. I liked the first book, but the other two were just too poorly written, too cheap...
As I recall, the 'Deathly Hallows' party last year wasn't that loud at all. In fact, I quite enjoyed it.

Considering the genre of the Twilight* series and, by direct correlation, the target audience--I'm not surprised.
*I'm assuming it's Twilight. I haven't kept track of that series at all after I read the first book right when it came out. I didn't even know it was so popular. o.o
Edit: Why were you at the bookstore at midnight (for the party? I mean, what else would you be there for?) when you're not a fan of the latter two books?

Party started around 8pm. I was dropped off there at 1pm and stayed until 9, forgetting about the damn thing.
I didn't join the party; I was pretty much avoiding everyone else in a little corner by the manga section while every girl and her mom was wandering about, screaming and laughing and so forth, all of them sporting 'Team Edward' or 'Team Jacob' t-shirts.
Sadly, the bathrooms are right next to the manga section, and for some reason the teen girls would run out of the restroom and wait for another girl to come out, then jump out and scream at her o.O
Can you say 'scary'? I sure can.
^ That's actually a lot like the Deathly Hallows party I went to, except you'd replace the characters with Harry and Draco. And the screaming parties would be aged 7-12.
I hate to admit it, but I can imagine one or two of my friends (I have two who're hardcore fans, one who likes the books but aren't in love with Edward) acting like the girls you mentioned.
I'm sorry your bookstore-trip was so intruded. I can sympathize. =(

Ah, ha, ha...
Thanks. Today I'm going to another bookstore in our area to read (that's how I spend my weekends: hanging out at bookstores alone for hours); hopefully, it won't be as crowded. Heh.
I have a friend who was a fan of the books. She read them all in three days, then next morning when I saw her at seminary, she was yelling and ranting about how "Edward doesn't act like a real man at all!!" and "Meyer doesn't understand the world of men!!" (at this point, Rosi started laughing and was promptly hit in the head with 'Eclipse' by said-friend).
