Today was a good day...well, it was as far as World of Warcraft was concerned anyway 
After *months* of not being able to get online for raids because of something so foolish as work (pffft! priorities) I have just had a most enjoyable time raiding...started off with Onyxia (who was killed...or "wtfpwned" to use the vernacular) then moved on to Molten Core where, after...

I went out for a meal last night with some friends, it was a very nice restaurant we went to...a favourite of mine, however upon our arrival one of our number uttered the words I fear and loathe when in a restaurant; "set menu".
Why fear and loathe? Simple, I fear the other members of the perty aggreeing that such a stupid notion is a...

Urgh! I hate that and quite possibly would hurt anyone that tried to make me have a set menu (unless it was through choice coz i'm a broke student!). But at my favourite (Prezzo an Italian) I would have none of it! Although saying that all the food so far has been great... gradually working our way through the menu!

Ah stop whingeing. It all comes out the same way. Who cares what it tastes like going in?
Oh, I'm back by the way.

Yesterday's Beaver & Steve comic keeps making me laugh...a lot
*chortle* I love the little sound effects in this series...and if you've yet to read of the meat fairy, time travelling escapades, or rampaging giant cockroaches with a persecution complex then you'd do well to read through the archives...heeheehee ^_^

Remember what I said yesterday (and if you don't just read it :/) about Hollywood instilling some craftsmanship in it's movies again? As if in answer to my plea I saw this shortly after.

Have you seen that movie..."Y Tu Mama Tambien"?
Great movie if you're into indie flicks.

I have never tried Sushi...which, as someone who adores everything Japanese so utterly, seems quite odd. It's not that I haven't had the chance or anything, there's actually a really good Japanese restaurant in Cambridge, but whenever I go I always stick to Ramen or something, why not Sushi? Simple; I fucking *hate* fish!

I have an issue with people who refer to themselves in the third person...I find it ever so slightly unsettling :/. Sure it's ok to use if you're a writer and are using it to further narrative or add drama or something, and maybe saying it to be cute or witty or something? Fine. But constantly doing it in normal conversation is just fucking creepy!...

I talk about myself in the third person quite often and most people don't consider me to be creepy... I hope

Did you see the Bo Selecta sketch where his parody and that of the other third-person culprit, Daniel Bedingfield were doing an own name-singing duet?

I'm learning Japanese because it's where I want to live. Pre-empting that you'll ask my why, I quite frankly have no idea... I think I just like their mix of extremes of modern and tradituib in culture and how such different things can sit so happily side by side
What's your reason? ^^

Hhhmmmm...a guy from my guild in WoW has just posted a message on the guild forum, he apologised for his recent absence from the game and said that he wouldn't be coming back again since his wife has just left him. Irreconcilable differences? No. Infidelity? No. His wife left him because he played WoW too much

I didn't know there'd been a second death! I haven't played WoW yet... It's another pay monthly one, right? I played Everquest for a looong time and haven't bothered with any online ones since then.
I've been learning Japanese on and off for a couple of years now, planning on taking my p.l.3 next December just to prove that I can How about you? ... Anata ga doo ne? (and I don't know if the doo ne is actually proper Japanese, but I picked it up off of animes et c. so it's good enough for me ^^)

'American English' also irks me. Once an American lady attempted to correct my pronunciation of 'aluminium', (I kid you not) although that was more funny than annoying.
Things that really push my anger-buttons are:
Strangers who think they're allowed to touch me, especially those wankers who dare to touch my arse when I'm out with friends at night. The first time they do it, I make it extremely clear that it's not acceptable. If they're stupid enough to do it again, I knock them out. It's a small consolation that I've never got in trouble for that.
Beaurocracy in all its forms.
Having to work on a project in groups of people I have not chosen. They never do enough work, either in terms of quality of quantity, and they only seem to talk about the men who fancy them and celebrities.
Happy Hardcore.
When people don't listen to/acknowledge my opinion after they've asked me for help. That's their prerogative, but the straw that breaks this camel's back is when they disregard my advice, nothing changes and they come moaning to me all over again. I don't want to come across as unsympathetic, but I don't want to hear it.
Hmmm... I think I'd better stop there, before I work myself up.

Ah, I'm a little ignorant of the intricacies of Japanese animation, but I'm sure I'm going to learn lots in a short time, as Mike's very in to his: He's also quite the artist: not professional like you, but a very enthusiastic (and talented) amateur who specialises in CG graphics.
I sympathise with your frustration about the 'alternative' sleeve designs: Subtleties work just as well in a visual sense as they do in every other, but in these cases, I don't know whether it's the business suits or their target market who fail to appreciate them. Either way, it's galling for all those who do.

I fucking *love* finding new anime to watch after it's been going for a while...I've done that with Naruto, Bleach, Initial D, Full Metal Panic, Love Hina and, now, Full Metal Alchemist. Being able to sit down and watch as many episodes as you want one after the other if great ^^
