Packing a weekend-bag before driving down to stay at my bro’s in London. Nicely timed for JapanEx of course! (Couldn’t care less about seeing my brother :wink: )

Black and syrup-ey Must be about time to fill it up with new. The fun just keeps coming, I can hardly contain myself.

About to drain the engine oil out of my car. How interesting is that...?

Ahh...you make it sound so simple. Just don't have the money to throw around right now - makes it little hard to endulge in a hobby to say the least. Ohh for a regular job with a regular income....:roll:

This thread took a bit of digging out - people clearly not been 'reading' much lately. Anyway, to the point... Stumbled across this curious book in the library – Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales. Thing is they are not fairy tales like you may think - as it says in the cover - "Once...

Arrgh – you’re making me jealous! I’ve been dying to read the manga ever since loving the anime – just wish I had the money to spend :( Knowing Nana, I know Ai Yazawa won’t let me down – I’m sure to lap it all up when I get the chance. Remembered Cromatie High School Vol.1...

Up to ep.24 of Death Note – comes to a nice midway climax (more like two-thirds-way really) with this episode - where's it gonna go next?? Call me a petrol-head, but I was impressed by the fact that they used the correct engine sound on Higuchi’s Porsche 911 - attention to detail -...

There’s some useful little tit-bits in there amongst your responses - its only been just short of a year since I started exploring this world of anime, so I still feel like I'm finding my way around/catching up to some extent. One thing I did do when I first started was to take it upon...

More Kino's Journey - DVD/Vol.3 - more intriguing little tales to ponder over. The title tune of this just gets catcher the more times you here it. More Death Note - up to ep.20 - more twists and turns. Listening to the title tune of this (the softer one, not the Slipknot-style version)...

I was just curious in getting some idea on how you all go about finding new anime series to watch. I tend to get a bit bewildered by the vast quantity of stuff out there and end up not knowing where to turn next, so in short I guess I’m looking for any good tips you have on successful anime...

Recovering after a day being stuck to the TV sport watching. Watch a bit of F1 to see Lewis not quite delivering to the swarms of his newly acquired fans, then on to the epic men’s final at Wimbledon in a value-for-money 5-set-er. Pirate-boy-Nidal with his tree-trunk-arm managed to make...

Haha – well, that’s all right then. So right now, apart from trying not to be a bad, bad person - just been watching some more episodes of said Death Note, funnily enough. Never mind the pen – sounded like a cunning excuse for a chat-up-line - get their name etc etc...number perhaps? Or...

Hmmm....maybe it was a mistake revealing my real name when I bought those manga volumes from you. What am I doing right now?....fearing for my life! :shock:

Gets a good review over on ANN in the their Shelf Life column - amongst the other things reviewed there. I like the sound of it.

Finished off Kill Me, Kiss Me with Vol.5 Things are rounded off in a round about way – the plot has been a bit scatty throughout but it hasn't stopped it having its fun moments and if nothing else there's definitely some pretty artwork and nice character designs to look at. Endulged myself...

Kino's Journey Discs 1&2 - liking this - love the style of delivery, the clever storylines that give you a little something to ponder over each episode. Kino's a very appealing and admirable character too - you look forward to learning a bit more about her as the series progresses. Hermes the...

Peugeot 306 - getting a bit old now but its still fun throwing it around on a twisty bit of tarmac. If I was to turn Japanese I would be very tempted by the Nissan 350Z - and I thought this before Fifth Gear gave the new model a resounding thumbs up on the last show. Don’t get me...

Some pictures below from a recent trip around the SW coastline in Cornwall for your amusement...

Never occurred to me when I watched FB – but a bit like Kyo; I’ve been on the roof of our house a few times – helped by the fact its actually a bungalow so you only have to stick an ordinary pair of stepladders up against the side of the house and up you go. Get a great view from up there...

Ahhh…falling things...that reminds me...used to have to live with a cupboard fixed to the wall directly above the head of my bed – had the constant niggle/fear that at some point it might just fall off the wall and onto my head, most likely whilst I was trying to sleep :shock: More I...
