Yes I know. I just,

a. posted about Anime, even though my post about watching Cowboy Bebop at TAC was called "My First, Last, and Only Post about Anime".

b. posted a cartoon picture of an underage girl in a bunny outfit.

And you know what? I don't care.

The MSN & Haruhism

In this week's edition of Newsweek in an aritcle about Youtube there is this comment,

Already, though, YouTube has become a major conduit of the popular buzz. A cartoon aired by a local TV station, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, has become a national phenomenon, thanks to more than 2,000 related clips, including parodies, now available on YouTube.

But Newsweeks is not the issue man; The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is the issue. Basically I am saying, get your butt on Youtube right now and watch the 14 episodes of this show. It aired in Japan from April to July of this year, and like the quote above says has become a phenomenon. The show has everything, nazis, vampires, Godzilla, Cary Grant in drag, crazed monks trying to kill the last decendent of Christ (who as luck would have it is a Japanese school girl).

Ok I lied the show has none of those, but still it is the best seven hours you'll spend this side of Cowboy Bebop. The picture is there to turn you guys to haruhism.

I finished my thesis today. Will I get drunk? Well I have $0.00 to my name, and work at 6:30 am, and no-one even to free load booze off of. So you bet I will.

Were We Ever This Bad?

I just got the summer issue of my alma mater's news letter. As always they have pictures of all the seniors, and their thesis titles. There were so many great titles that I came up with a great game. I will give my nominations for the Most Pretentious Thesis of 2006 award, and you guys vote for them. Note, that names are withheld, just so this isn't that mean (but if you want to know the names you can always check the news letter yourself)

1. An Exposition of Rational Sensation

2. A Metaphysical Inquiry into the Nature of the Human Soul

3. Don Quixote and Sancho Panza: An Aristotelian Friendship of the Unqualifies Good.

4. Unity Order and Peace: On the Superiority of Traditional Hereditary Monarchy over Modern Liberal Democracy

5. An Examination of Anna Kerenina in Terms of Poetic and Scientific Knowledge


And the Award for the funniest Title 2006, goes to,

Torture: An Application of Aquinas' Theory of Punishment

Give that man a job in the Buch Administration!
