I desperately needed some cheering up this evening. So here are some things that cheered me up when I saw them in the July issues of Hobby Japan and Dengeki Hobby.

( Warning: Very image heavy behind the cut. But worth it if you like awesome things THAT ARE AWESOME. )

I really need to make another Haruhi scans dump. I have such a backlog piled up, it's not even funny.

My nose is twitching.

I saw Speed Racer this weekend. About an hour into it I wanted to kill myself. I had a migraine for like 48 hours afterward. That movie was not only bad, but apparently it was also bad for my health. For the record, the only other movie that ever gave me a massive pounding migraine was Peter Jackson's King Kong. I didn't like that movie either. And it wasn't because of the migraine, which didn't settle in until about thirty minutes after the end credits rolled, but because it was just. plain. bad.

Now, here's an annoyance of mine. Over and over again, I see reviews calling Speed Racer a "live-action cartoon." And calling it the first of its kind. "The closest thing I've ever seen to a live-action cartoon," blah blah blah.

Clearly these plebes are incredibly fortunate sadly misinformed, because the title of the closest thing I've ever seen to a live-action cartoon is won, hands-down ( by.... )
