Garbage Collection

Since I told Jefe I'd add something, reciprocation of efforts in the continuation of the field of bloggings I guess, here goes.

An ordinary day in an extraordinarily cilche world
First off, Answerman's contest for this week, is so amazingly interesting I feel completely compelled to work out the best combination of Pirates, Spaceships, Superheroes, Ninjas, Werewolves, Dragons, Demons, Gods, Magical Relics, Music, Mecha, Incest, Breasts, Pantyshots, and other cliches into the masterpiece that I hope I won't be able to even read with a straight face.

Family affairs
My family never ceases to amaze me, seriously. Excluding the amount of times quotes from the BBC's hit show, Coupling, go off in the household, there's more; and it's not pretty.

Exhibit A - Examine closely. Now imagine that this has turned into a running joke about all dreams as a whole being involved with Oedipius-esce relations. Now, lets up the Ante a bit more (and in my defense I played no part in this), add in the passage of Mrs. King. If you can't see where this is going, let's just say David tells me he was trying very very hard not to laugh at a highly inappropriate moment.

Or take today's jewel. In my standard fashion I'm looking over the offerings of Anime-Network on On-Demand, Halfway talking to myself I announce that they have episodes 1 and 2 of Area 88 (If you've heard of this, you're a step above me) and the following conversation ensues with my father in the oher room;
Father: Oh, I've seen that.
Me: You've what?
Father: I've seen that.
Me: You've seen this? I've never heard of it.
Father: It's about fighter pilots.
Me: (Opening the info screen) '... is an Ace fighter pilot tricked into joining a mercenary gang of fighter [sic]pilot'
Father: I didn't say it was very understandable.
Me: Alright then, how did you come across this?
Father: Actually I watched it on demand.
Me: You mean to tell me you were browsing the anime offerings?
Father: Well, I only had thirty minutes, so I figured that was a good way to take care of it.
Me: Just when I think I'm beginning to figure you out...

Hills are alive...
Pandora is awesome. Seriously. If you're intestered in what I've put together so far, it's the Daft Punk Radio on my Sobiius(at)gmail address. Since every little change seems to spawn a whole wave of changes, the radio is consistently being refined as I go, but looking at the songs that I've given a thumbs up is a fairly good indication of what I like.

Closing Thoughts
All I have to say is that Advance Wars: Dual Strike, has made the DS worth the purchase price many times over already. Go it.
