I’ve been reading the light novels for “The Saga of Tanya the Evil” (just started Vol 4) … and there’s an … interesting little tidbit from the very beginning which seems to be very … ignored? … by a lot…
Yes, it’s that time again. Rather than going through with what I’ve started / dropped, though, let me just talk about the stuff that I’m pretty sure I’m watching for this season. But First … a micro-Rant Before I jump…
The “It” in this case being, finally, my Mac Mini. It’s been a couple of weeks since I last mentioned this (in Computer Restituo Interruptus … or not?). The reality of what happened after that post is that the computer…
Ok. Summer 2022 anime season is (mostly) over. I say mostly because there were a couple of late-starters which are still running for another episode or two, but I think it’s safe to say I’ve finalized my opinions on the…
As those who are in my close social circle (well, maybe not so close – I’m generally fine with telling people) know, since mid-2015, I have a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). It wasn’t due to an accident or anything like…

I’ve hit a bit of a lull, as is probably apparent for anyone who might (casually?) be following what’s happening here. I’ve gotten past the initial massive effort of writing Rough Times in Osaka and have gotten it to “First…
Back in 1992, I bought a new car. It was one of the outright weirdest looking cars at the time, and possibly even in most of recent memory. It was the Nissan NX2000. Mine was white, not red. And, as…
There’s an old joke that has been told many different times and in different manners, but it ultimately winds up at the punchline of, “When you’re up to your ass in alligators, it’s hard to remember the original mission was…
Every book needs a cover. Otherwise, it’s just a bunch of pages with words bunched together. [Yeah, yeah, I’m sure there’s some definition of “book” that doesn’t include any details about a cover, but … work with me here, ok?]…
