    Probs completely unoriginal, but made a line about measuring people's weight on the scale of Richter and got laughs. Also, Twilight novella is the best troll gift.

    Had a staff meeting this morning at the pool. There was only about a half hour of talking, followed by a half hour of me helping to clean the pool a bit. Well, just helping to realign the grates and hosing down the deck a bit. I feel like that's more work than I usually do while I'm on the job. I got paid for the time at the meeting, though.

    Hmm, if I lost quite a bit of weight, I could enlist as an officer.

    I went to the electronics store to buy Raumpatrouille Orion and maybe a Tintin collection. Instead, I bought a Blind Guardian and two Die Apokalyptischen Reiter CDs.

    I wonder if that should tell me something.

    Just watched District 9 for like the fourth or fifth time. God, that's such a good movie. I think it might be beating out Fight Club for my favorite.
    Blind Guardian
    I approve. Which one?

    ^^ I don't know, but I probably would've gone with Blind Guardian as well.

    At the Edge of Time. With that, Tales of the Twilight World is the only one I'm missing now. But that probably won't last.

    I love that album. IMO, Wheel of Time is one of the best songs they've ever done.

    I may be biased, though, considering that WoT is one of my favorite book series.

    At The Edge Of Time is pretty good. It kind of reminds me of Nightfall In Middle Earth, although it's probably not quite so good. I think BG saw their apex somewhere around that time, although their best song to my ears is probably Another Holy War. Dat solo. Also, dat outro.

    Yeah, Nightfall in Middle Earth is my favorite album by them. I only have four, though.

    Blind Guardian was pretty much the soundtrack to my teenage years. I still love metal, but I've diversified my tastes since then. The Eldar is a song that brings back a few good memories, just because of the lack of responsibility of that time.

    Plus, I had about an hour's trip to and from school by public transport. Most of that time was some combination of Blind Guardian, Iron Maiden and whoever else I was listening to at the time. But mostly those two.

    This anime season so far, based on first episodes:

    Good Tier:

    • Symphogear
    • Kill Me Baby

    Alright tier:

    • Mouretsu Pirates

    Who cares tier:

    • Everything else

    Well, at least not including sequels, since I haven't seen any of the older seasons of those shows, so I won't be watching them (well, unless I end up watching Bakemonogatari soon).  Had higher expectations for Mouretsu Pirates for some reason, but the first episode didn't impress me all that much, though it looks like things will actually start happening in the next episode, so hopefully it gets better then.  Symphogear and Kill Me Baby, on the other hand, were unexpectedly good.  Symphogear seems to be like Nanoha except with idols and grimdark, and Kill Me Baby is Lucky Star with assassins.  Award for the worst show of the season goes to High Score, and I'm pretty confident I can say that even though 2/3 of the shows this season haven't even aired one episode yet.

    And so Anime Boston continues its apparent trend of only having guests I don't care about.

    Not that it matters.  I'm not sure I'm going anyway since I have nobody to go with and if I were alone it wouldn't be so much fun.  I do sort of want to though, but... I dunno.

    "I'm not sure I'm going anyway since I have nobody to go with and if I were alone it wouldn't be so much fun.  I do sort of want to though, but... I dunno."

    You could probably hang out with me and my friends or something. Assuming they don't annoy you too much (this is the group with that one guy who consistently spams samurai or ninja ideals and buys lots of katanas. It's basically trolling, though, so it almost retains a semblance of comedic value). Depends on which group of friends I'm with at any time, or if I even stick to a group.

    Anyone else planning on going to this thing?

    ----

    I'm sort of bugged at how a lot of cosplay events would require me to be in-character to participate, since I'm not so outgoing and comfortable that I would take on another personality and keep it up for an extended period of time, since it wouldn't be convincing anyway.

    I'm not sure if I'm happy I'm not able to go or whether I regret the opportunity for trolling.

    "or whether I regret the opportunity for trolling."

    If anything, it would be countertrolling. I hope.
  • MadassAlexMadassAlex

    In any case, I fail to see the point in having a shitload of katana.

    You really would only ever need two; one blunt for training and one sharp for test-cutting/anime hijinks in a more exciting world. Given the cost of a truly accurate and high-quality katana (a couple of thousand), your friend's better off saving his cash and going for the real deal.

    That kind of buying habit pretty much makes no sense for your average consumer, an informed swordsman or anyone in between. I mean, he's probably paying decent cash for stainless steel blades, of all things, and the construction may not even include proper tangs. He's buying wall-hangers, probably, but at the rate you suggest he buys, he'll have more katana than his house has walls pretty soon.

    Ah. Yeah, there's really no excuse for all the katanas (at this point I think it's seven, with a wooden practice one), and I think he usually gets them at somewhere around $20-$60, I think. But I have a fifty-eight volume (and soon to be sixty) collection of One Piece manga, so I can't judge him for that, myself. And he's moving on to nunchaku, now.

    Anyway, the having lots of katanas thing isn't really the worst part about his shtick. Which is why I cling to the belief that he does most of what he does to be amusing; his japanophilia (or his fixation on the "badasses" of Japanese culture, for the most part) is mostly harmless, and it would be endearing if it didn't come up so often.
