    my anime loving buddy tried to capitalise on me admitting i liked gundam wing by getting me to watch code guiass (SP?)

    i couldn't

    i just couldn't

    the robots were alright but it had everything i hate about anime poured all over the top of it in vast quantities

    all the people were so KAWAIIIIIIII UGUU~

    Should of had you watch some manime like Zeta Gundam or 08th MS Team

    i heard all the gundams after the first one were shit

    That is a very false statement

    i'm just going by what i've heard

    and by catching a couple of eps of a news gundam series which was in fact, shit

    I can vouch for 08th MS Team. It's basically Band of Brothers: Giant Robot Edition.

    i think... i'm ready to meet people from the internet.

    i've met a bunch of people from SE++ at EURO PAX which was a lot of fun

    also i have spent a very fun afternoon with Bobcesca eating burgers and drinking coffee

    those happen to be two of my favourite things so doing it with good company and intelligent conversation (by my standards at least) was icing on the cake

    what im saying is, PA folks are fun

    I tend to go for the more serious and/or actiony animes

    Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, Berserk, etc

    I think I only liked one crazy one, FLCL, and that was mostly because it was poking fun at pop culture and anime itself while telling a surprisingly decent story and crazy amount of action stuffed in.

    Otherwise, I can't usually do the comedy anime. It's always romantic comedy harem bullshit. Cannot handle.
    I liked FLCL, PSG and Dead leaves, all because they were so unserious and much more comically animated.

    I remember watching Dead Leaves with a wannabe film buff friend of mine. His brain shut down about halfway through as he had no way of processing something like that. When it finished he was just "I don't know what happened" and left. Couldn't even discuss the themes. Noob.

    My favourite detail in Inferno is that WHO has an elite SWAT team they have working black ops.

    The ending is no doubt intended to be profound and thoughtful but is actually sorta genocidal.

    @Bogart, so Dan Brown aside, have you read any good stuff lately?

    I finally started reading the Aubrey/Maturin books, now that I have all but one in the editions I like. First one is, as you say, episodic, but still fun. The sea-slang is a mysterious pool into which one grows gradually acclimatised. I finally got around to reading all the Hammet books I have, and they were unsurprisingly ace. I gave some Star Trek tie-in fiction a try (albeit stuff written by the reliable Peter David) and found it to be ok I guess but still tie-in fiction.

    I am now slogging through the latest ASOIAF book, which I have already spoiled myself for because I wasn't sure I wanted to bother after the dullness of A Feast For Crows and my growing belief that GRRM is spinning about three of the five wheels on his epic fantasy bike while the other two catch up. It is ok, but my bad habit of spoiling things for myself has harmed the reading.

    I picked up a copy of Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House and Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes after reading Danse Macabre and imbibing King's hearty recommendations and will get to them sooner rather than later. I zipped through Lisa Tuttle's fine collection A Nest Of Nightmares, something I had on my list of second-hand books for nigh on twenty years before picking up a copy in Hay on Wye.

    Generally, I have been reading less recently, which I think is down to work being a strain of late. I have instead been idling away easy hours in Skyrim and other vidja games, which is something I am thinking of cutting back on drastically because I am approaching forty and the knowledge of my own mortality is beginning to make me wonder whether 150 hours in Skyrim is time well spent in my one and only life.

    Ho hum.

    We went on holiday recently and spent several days in a caravan. I read three books, more than I'd done in the two months previously. I am in the bad habit of just internetting and vidja-gaming when at home and I think it may have crossed over into the area of comfortable routine that is deadening my soul.

    Maybe this is a mid-life crisis. If so, I should buy a shiny red car, right? But I am bored by cars, so perhaps a shiny red something else.

    I know what you mean. I don't read enough either. On the other hand, a lot of games recently have been experiences I genuinely enjoyed having, so...I dunno. I guess I need to try and be more discerning and avoid falling into the trap of just gaming because I've 'nothing better to do,' because I do have better things to do.

    I"m reading more than I was, but I keep losing my Kindle. :P

    no sorry i meant gypsies, not zombies, that was a brain fart

    you said caravan
  • BogartBogart Registered User regular
    Gypsies makes a lot more sense than zombies.

    It was a big static caravan in a caravan park near the sea, followed by days staying with friends and relatives. It was a cheap holiday that took the place of an expensive holiday in Istanbul after one of our cats developed ongoing and incredibly expensive health problems.

    also speaking of zombies i saw the world war z trailer in imax 3d last night

    Also @Bogart I forgot to say, yesssssssssss on finally joining us in Aubrey/Maturin.

    The first book is fun enough but seriously 2 is in a whole different league (most of it is slapstick comedy and Jane Austen romance shenanigans...for real) and begins this amazing upward slope that just keeps going and going and going until 7 or 8 at least

    also i just read a quote about the world war z movie:
    each view World War Z as a trilogy that would have the grounded, gun-metal realism of Matt Damon's Jason Bourne series tethered to the unsettling end-times vibe of AMC's The Walking Dead
