Is it just me or does "dakimakura" sounds like a savory hand-roll? It's getting on Happy Hour and I could go for some sushi & Sapporo...
Sorry about the lack of posts from me. I'm ass deep in trying to get an OtakuHELL show put together for OhayoCon plus I got the crud on MLK day. I'm under the influence of cold medicine and that's all I can blame for the overload right now.
I'll check back in as soon as possible.
No worries, Danno!
Cough syrup is usually enough to get me out of the mid-winter doldrums, but not the gunk : / Hope ya feel better soon!

PG is the bar you go to after work to have a couple of brews and bs. Take care of business and yourself first. We'll save a couple of beers for you.
Battle Angel in 2011? Really? Hasn't the ship sailed on this one? I have as much enthusiasm for a Battle Angel movie as I do for a Mai the Psychic Girl movie at this point. Can we forget about this and move on to something better?
...like a live action Yamato?
