NaNoWrimo, Flickr and Other things a Blogger can mess around with
November 5th, 2009 — An Education, Australia, Circular Quay, Dragonball, Flickr, NaNoWriMo
Ok, so this month is NaNoWriMo, the gruelling exercise where you try and write a 50,000 word novel in a month.
I liked my start, I’m up to 11,000 words. Haven’t been able to blog anime much, but I have been enjoying watching Dragonball on my new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone for my anime fix. Of course this is all distracting me from increasing my word count, hopefully I will be able to reach 50,000 by the end of the month…
I also went out to Circular Quay this week and didn’t get to show you any photos of my trip out there. I was there to see An Education, the new Nick Hornby scripted film. It was a good movie, I recommend you see it if you can because it’s one of the most well written and plotted movies out there at the moment.
As well as that I uploaded the photos from my trip to Circular Quay on Flickr, check them out and leave your comments if you like my photos.

Yotsuba Kowai Revoltech Figure Review
October 27th, 2009 — Anime figures, Photography, Yotsuba
Yotsuba Kowai is represented well in this Revoltech figure, it out of all my anime figures shows a real sense of the childhood wonder Yotsuba possesses in her worldview, she comes with two heads, one really happy, one really angry. Yotsuba does get angry occasionally in the manga, but not often. Yotsuba’s strength is her almost unending cheerfulness in the face of a somewhat annoying world.
The Content Crunch of the Fall 2009 Anime Season, and what to do about it.

First of all, I’ve never really been able to cover anime seasons while they currently air because of my HSC, and now that that’s over, I am a Graduate lacking a Mrs. Robinson. For those of you who don’t know what I mean by that joke, rent The Graduate, it has Dustin Hoffmann in it for crying out loud. HE RULES.

You know half the reason why guys find THIS girl attractive is because she reads books, not just because she’s nerd-hot.

Thought of the Day: My blogging about autistic anime fandom was relevant all along?
September 22nd, 2009 — Anime Blogging, Asperger's Syndrome, Cultural theory, Geek Philosophy, KyoAni, Uncategorized, analysis, anime, autism, hikikomori
Months ago, someone told me that they found a substantial section on anime in a guide to teaching autistic children. Of all places, I wondered, why there? As it turns out, many autistic children like anime because the facial expressions and gestures are easy to understand. For people with autism, who normally have immense trouble reading the emotions of others, anime characters are a way for them to participate in a social arena that the rest of us hardly think about. – 2-D Teleidoscope

Ponyo: A movie, an event
September 14th, 2009 — Anime Movies, Ponyo, Studio Ghibli
Ponyo is a great movie. Let me say that now. Let me also say that since Hayao Miyazaki is getting old this could be your last chance to see a Miyazaki film in the cinemas, so if you can, grab your friends and beg them to see it while it’s still showing.
