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.

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.

Some of you have been wondering “What the hell kinda books does NewGeekPhilosopher/Jacob Martin write anyway?”.

Ok, so I got checked out at the hospital, and my cold/flu turned out not to be swine flu. I’ve been sick for about two days now, and the delirious dreams I’ve been having are getting weird.
Sorry I haven’t been able to update the blog much this week, I have been rather ill and the dreams where I get accosted by Oompa Loompas are not helping.
I’m just posting this to let you know where I am and why I haven’t been posting for a while, I will try and post more after this cold breaks.
