I am not an Otaku.
I’ve been trying to figure at what anime series would be good to watch, so I’ve been cruising around anime otaku blogs and checking out all the blogrolls. It’s made me realize I’m still a totally normal person. I don’t understand half of what they’re talking about, I’m not ecchi or into loli, and I don’t own much anime related crap. Here’s a buncha links for your amusement and possibly your entry into the weird wacky world of Otaku:
General Anime Info Sites
Anime NFO
Anime Recommendations
Anime Blogs (discussing current series/stuff from Japan) :
Anime Nano - blog directory & forum & irc
Random Curiosity
Yummy Sushi Pajamas
Sea Slug Blog

Utada Hikaru = Tetris Freak
Vids of Utada Hikaru kicking ass at Tetris. Apparantly, she’s doing some promotion with Nintendo where you can win the chance to play against her. funfun. Is it me, or does she look soooo different when she isn’t in her pop glam get-up? Read more at her blog. (But only if you can read Japanese. Which I can’t.)

Bleep Labs Thingamagoop
Bleep Labs has a wonderful video clip of their new ‘thingamagoop’ synth-toy-robot. It is so cute and funny and bleepy - it had me rofl-ing .

C’était un rendez-vous
C’était un rendez-vous is a 1978 cult short film by Claude Lelouch in which a ‘Ferrari’ races at high speed through the streets of Paris in the petit hours of the morning. While probably driven by a professional driver, this was not a closed course - but claims of of going over 100 mph are exaggerated, and the soundtrack with its gear changes and high pitch engine whine is also cleverly overdubbed. See the video. See the ‘making of’ video which features the much-less-glamorous-than-a-Ferrari Mercedes. Oh the wonderful illusion of filmmaking!

google maps package tracking mash mash
Want to see where the hell your package is? Using isnoop.net’s universal package tracking or www.packagemapper.com (wasn’t working when I tried it) you can see the route your precious box has taken with any of the major shipping companies (except UPS has thrown lawyers at some of these mapping sites before, so UPS visualtracking may not be around for long…)
