Amazon Recommendations, quite peculiar.

Posted on January 1, 2011 by baudattitude

OK, I know that this is a cheap shot, that Amazon’s automated system has no way of knowing just how odd this particular recommendation is, and that it’s simply the result of someone buying these two things in combination. That … Continue reading →

Guess I need a “Team Moka” Shirt

Posted on December 30, 2010 by baudattitude

I’ve been watching “Rosario+Vampire” lately, even though I have a lot of other stuff I really should prioritize in front of it. After all, it’s a show about goofy hijinks and panty shots, and I have Serious Dramas and Significant … Continue reading →

It’s hard being #2

Posted on December 12, 2010 by baudattitude

This last month has been absolutely nuts, school-wise. As an aside, I had an English teacher, back in high school, who I didn’t especially like and who absolutely deplored the practice of appending “-wise” to the end of nouns, and … Continue reading →

Coupons, Very Odd:

Posted on November 30, 2010 by baudattitude

CostCo and I have an understanding. Every month or so, they send me a book of coupons, which I forget about until the Monday after they’ve expired and then I say something like “damnit, I’m going to remember to use … Continue reading →

Pigeon Theft

Posted on November 11, 2010 by baudattitude

The Good New Days

Posted on November 8, 2010 by baudattitude

I had a three-fold coincidence today.  That is to say, I noticed that the hard drive in my Macbook was almost full, so I was lightly vexed,  I submitted my first timecard at work since getting a raise last week, … Continue reading →

Anime with guts

Posted on October 29, 2010 by baudattitude

It’s been a month full of disembowelments. Firstly, my Japanese history class took two periods to watch Harakiri, a rather dark period film about poor Edo-era samurai, ritual suicide, bloody revenge and so on and so forth, and secondly I … Continue reading →

Somewhat Derivative Anime

Posted on October 27, 2010 by baudattitude

I really quite liked Urusei Yatsura, which is fortunate because anime studios seem to keep remaking it in one form or another.  Tenchi Muyo was probably the best remake, swapping out the generally unlikable Ataru for a main character who … Continue reading →
