This is a container category for media reviews and related drivel.
So I’m avoiding Fridays, the better to not bump up against my other scheduled posting thing, the 3WA. Which, hopefully, this archival project will not distract too much from.
And this is one of those cases where my site’s format differing so much from Tumblr’s dashboard makes my image layout choices seem a bit odd. Welp. I had to do what I had to do…
Both of these were posted on the same day… kind of. The first was actually my original “trial balloon” months earlier, but archived here is the “official” entry…
I’m spacing these Tumblr gifset archival posts out day by day, but not at a particular time. Hey, at least it’s more stuff on the ol’ journal/blog/thingy, right?
Another of the archival James Burke gifsets I made for Tumblr starting in 2013, again from The Day The Universe Changed:
I’m archiving the James Burke gifset project I posted to Tumblr years ago, since if Tumblr goes away I’ll have no record of what I did there, and this was really the only original content I posted.
I went through most of the episodes of The Day The Universe Changed and, later, the original Connections series, and made gifs for one or two bits from each one. Look, I had a gif-making program and an urge to do something ridiculously geeky with it. You know how it goes.
(No, I’m not going to post this whole disclaimer for each entry. You’ll figure it out.)
Against what might be called my “better judgement,” had I any to speak of, I decided to try out one of Right Stuf’s monthly loot box “Anime Haul” deals. They had my number this time, the theme being Music. (It was a rough week; I decided retail therapy was as good as any other kind.)
The box arrived yesterday. One Hatsune Miku manga (as yet unread), one soundtrack CD (Kamichu, and it’s… okay? generic orchestral ST stuff), one Blu-Ray (Sora no Woto / Sound of the Sky, which I remember liking a lot and look forward to a rewatch), a mug (tie-in for Your Lie In April, which I’ve never watched), and two cellphone charms, one of them is tiny and unrecognizable to me, and the other is… well:
Meet Nozomi Tojo, of the Love Live! franchise, apparently. Friend Wonderduck recommended one of the shows in the series recently, maybe this is a sign that I need to get on that.
