I love Roxette!

Well, it was 104 degrees yesterday, and it felt like it was a bit hotter today. Summer for us is considered to begin in mid to late March, but I say California summer doesn't begin until July, when it starts to get really hot. Also, we had a bit of an unseasonable cool-spell in June, so that's some of it too.

Well, the California summer has arrived at last, and you know what that means: heatwaves, sitting around the house and trying to work up the enthusiasm to move, and drinking what feels like gallons of ice waterjust to keep from dehydrating. I really hate California summers.

What are your new avatar and sig image from, Spleach?

Not that I've heard. Maybe we should ask Guyverfanatic if he's seen anything; he seems to keep up with these things.

I haven't watched Grave of the Fireflies or Barefoot Gen, either. War films kind of get to me, since they're emotinally exhausting by their very nature, and I tend to have a lot of empathy for people. Band of Brothers is all right, because it seems that the violence - horrible as it is - is spaced out over the length of a ten hour series more than it would be in a movie. Also, the longer running-time lets me get to know the characters better, which can be a bit of a mixed blessing given that this is me we're talking about, but if I can't relate to at least one of the characters then the story tends to bore me.

I've been watching Band of Brothers for about a week now; hoo boy, it's a heavy series. I guess I shouldn't be so surprised, since it is about soldies in World War II, and the closest I've ever come to a real war story is Guyver and Fullmetal Alchemist, and I don't think either of those really count.

Well, it's a pretty big milestone for me. It's been a long time since I've made 1,000. I'm pretty happy.

This is my 2,000th post. This is so cool; I'm actually starting to catch up to my LiveJournal post count.

Yes; yes I did.

Is the font copyrighted, or would it just be too difficult to write in?

Yes; that's one of my favorite vids. The expression on his face when he actually manages to land the plane in Top Gun is priceless.

I do like the new front page design, Ryuki.

Good work on the new chapter so far; I haven't quite finished it yet, but I like what I've seen.

Well, I'm glad you could get more of your story done, though I do look forward to seeing more of your art. I do enjoy hearing more about how your life's going, too.

You're welcome. I look forward to seeing more.

Yeah; one of my favorite parts was when he did the Moonwalk.

His Moonwalker review was pretty positive, though he still gets a little freaked out by some of the things going on in the game.

Nice work; very smooth, and shiny too.

What do you feel that he's prejudiced about? It seems to me that he hates all bad games equally.

Well, best of luck to you, Ryuki; I'll be pulling for you to get all the money you want out of this endevor.

Ah, that sounds interesting. But what do you mean, he says things that other reviewers are afraid to? Frankly, I don't know if the Angry Video Game Nerd even has the concept of fear when it comes to reviewing games. Of course, when you have Super Mecha Death Christ on your side, I guess most things just don't phase you.

I've never heard anything about those guys. Do they do videos?
