What the what?! Man... Applause to the post office, that's insane. That wasn't even 24 hours!

Pssh, and they asked if I wanted to pay $19 for "express" shipping.

I dunno, five bucks is five bucks. I'm trying to save up for a few things right now, like the next Fred Store addition whatever it is and a fancy pants Cintiq tablet, so all those little five bucks add up quickly...

Plus you can get so many games for five bucks now that I'd rather be sure I spent it wisely if I was buying a game.

Yeah, you can get anything for $5 on Friday. Like a ten pound turkey.

Or a twenty pound turkey.

Or Halo Reach.

Oh noes.
Panty and Stocking ends on Christmas Eve.

Like...end for good?

I could be more compassionate, but I don't feel like nit.

Yes. It's a one-shot series.
I do expect a mindfuck ending.

I didn't know that.
Now I kind of feel like actually watching past the first episode.

I love one-shot series. I think they should make more of them. For example, Heroes would have been amazing if it was a one season series. But nooooooo they had to totally flush it down the toilet by dragging it out forever. So dumb. Instead of an epic to last the ages, you have something no one will remember, except how bad it became.

Likewise Cowboy Beebop will always be awesome because they stopped when they should have.

My thoughts exactly, Death Note kinda dragged on too long with the Near/Mello arc and lost practically half its audience. Also, I'm not sure about Cowboy Beebop, but Zombie Loan also ended perfectly, well at least the anime counterpart did.

From what I hear, it isn't too anything too amazing, the reviews are pretty so-so. Although I'm surpised at how they sexualized Transformers...

Well I did actually watch the first episode, and thought it was very meh. I couldn't really get into it, and didn't really want to commit to it.

But now that I realize it's a short series I may give it a shot again.

I have nothing but applause for you.

I think I have decided to fully come back. If only we had an app, dammit.

I've decided that it's facking cold, and that I hate driving in this weather.

If I ever got an Apple or Android device, I would consider making an app for here, or just a FtM app altogether if JKR let me.

But I hate Apple and Android phones are really expensive on Verizon.

Speaking of One-shot series, anyone seen "Kids in the Hall: Death Comes To Town"?

We're going to do a FtM App one day, just don't know when.

I can't believe it's already almost 2AM. I haven't stayed up this late in a while and still felt reasonably conscious.

Must... continue... working... on... Mailbag...

Good morning everyone. Did everyone enjoy their three hours of sleep last night? I know I did! I could sure go for some more!

So what's the plan for Thanksgiving for those of you whom celebrate it? I myself will be having a slightly non-traditional meal because my mother in-law cooks mostly Chinese food. There will be turkey, though. And I'm making mashed potatoes so we at least have that.

Sadly I'll be spending the break finishing a mountain of school reading... but yeah we're going to have turkey

I take it by the "sadly" that it isn't fun reading, huh? I used to enjoy some of my school reading. The good stuff. Which there wasn't much of, I suppose...

Its AP Humanities reading, however I do enjoy some of the fictional reading assignments.

It entertains me how people unconsciously regard books as being more intelligent than other entertainment mediums. "Go read a book" and all that just strikes me as a hilarious disregard for the fact that there are just as many bad books as there are TV, movies or games.

THANK YOU, good god. You've put into words what I've been trying to for years.

If not more, even, seeing as books have existed for significantly longer than electric forms of expression.

True, but even the most incompetent book engages the mind more than television or movies.
