  • And the award for “Best Try” goes to…

    Thanks to Celina for this bit of amusing linky goodness:

  • Anime Reviews Galore

    Not that most of you will be keenly interested, but I feel compelled to point out that my ever-so pithy thoughts on Onegai Teacher, RahXephon and (most recently) Stellvia are available on my anime site for all to enjoy.

    I’m just getting started, folks…

  • Information about Karel, my namesake.

    I was expounding to Dawn this evening about where my “unique” name comes from, and on a whim decided to do some websurfing. It is with pleasant surprise I give you the following link… though I freely admit this is more for my own records than for any sort of amusement or educational value that it might hold for anyone who isn’t Me, or doesn’t share my first name.

  • Command them to be well.

    Found at Slate:

    One is presuming (is one not?) that this is the same god who actually created the audience he was addressing. This leaves us with the insoluble mystery of why he would have molded (“in his own image,” yet) a covetous, murderous, disrespectful, lying, and adulterous species. Create them sick, and then command them to be well? What a mad despot this is, and how fortunate we are that he exists only in the minds of his worshippers.

    The full article is interesting reading, though not the sort of thing you can take without a grain or two of salt. For instance, the author uses the word “religion” when he means “Christianity and its cousins” in the last paragraph:

    Too many editorialists have described the recent flap as a silly confrontation with exhibitionist fundamentalism, when the true problem is our failure to recognize that religion is not just incongruent with morality but in essential ways incompatible with it.

  • Core Incompetency

    In lieu of actual content, I give you a link to Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics’ review of The Core.

    Why? Because it’s fun reading, dammit! And because I have absolutely nothing original to contribute right now. (Must… finish… watching… Rah… Xephon…)

  • Rude Food, Dude

    Via… a series of links I can’t even recall now, I bring you naughty food.
