GASP

You might have noticed there haven’t been a lot of updates in a while.  This is sort-of one.  Really, what it is is an announcement of the most epic of (internet) proportions.  I have left this place for another place!  
Pontifus has kindly provided me with server space and a wicked site redesign.  You may find [...]

Do I look like I have something better to do with my time?

Because no one demanded it:
(4:10:04 AM) Pontifus: your epic beard is now the mascot of super fanicom
(4:10:13 AM) cuchlann: Aroo?
(4:10:43 AM) cuchlann: It’s been trimmed down since then, anyway.
(4:10:51 AM) cuchlann: Did you just make that decision, by the way?
(4:11:05 AM) Pontifus: yeah, like fifteen seconds ago
(4:11:28 AM) cuchlann: That’s pretty quick snap-decisions there. [...]

Another apologetic post

Blah.  I am just about finished with my semester.  I’m working on a paper on the Gothic in survival horror video games, which I mean to use as my sample on my Ph.D applications.  I have a few online quizzes in my History of the English Language class.  I also need to do the other [...]

slice of intergalactic life

 
I’m slowly catching up with Tytania, and continue to enjoy it a whole lot.  I like the vacillation of the episodes so far, some about Fan, some not.  I just finished episode five.  
My subject line is a little misleading; I’m not here to claim Tytania is a slice-of-life series.  It does, however, do something similar [...]

A very short post on space warfare

I just wanted to mention that I’m watching Tytania and Chaos;Head (which I will undoubtedly never “spell” correctly).  Chaos;Head reads like a user’s guide to unreliable narrators (you know, if you ignore that Poe is the user’s guide to unreliable narrators); lots of people seem to be nervous about it.  I was basically pleased by the whole thing, but [...]

Her name’s not Shana, not Shana, not Shana…

I’m actually caught up with one of the new shows this season.  Imagine my shock.  [Actually, I think I'm caught up with Gundam 00, though I could be terribly wrong about that.]
As you might or might not have gathered from the image, I’m watching Toradora! I’m a little surprised at how much I’m enjoying it, [...]

Is it over yet?

I feel like I’m about to cop out on you.  Yes, I’m back, after all this time.  I’ve been steadily managing to do one post each week over at Superfanicom, but between that and class work I haven’t done much here.  I was drafting a post on the new Lucky Star which I hope to get [...]

I’ve made my first post on Super Fanicom, which you can find here.  I plan on keeping up with this blog right here as well, I promise.  I think I’ve passed through the worst of my semester’s work — until my papers come due, and my students start turning in their big assignments.  What I [...]

A short note

I know I haven’t written in a while.  Just watched episode 20 of Macross Frontier.  Feel gutted.  That is all.

Ding! Yuuto gains a level of badass.

Well, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu appears to be like those asshole drivers who go really slowly until I could pass them, then they speed up and drift toward the far lane to keep me from goung around.
What I mean is, after the honestly lackluster episode six, episode seven was fantastic. It hit [...]
