OMG TURTLE POWAR

Yesterday I went to my stepbrother Nicholas' high school graduation. ( Click for all the gory details, including a surprise appearance by Brittany Spears! )

ANYWAY. As for my more fannish hobbies, I've recently discovered the manga Sgt. Frog after hearing glowing reviews of it from surlykitty. It is everything she said it was, and it is now one of my new favorite series. (I'm so a cross between Tamama and Fuyuki.)

I also beat Digital Devil Saga. ( Gameplay technicalities cut to spare non-gamers - also, here there be SPOILARRRRS )

Let's Positive Linking!
- More fun links from ProgressiveBoink.com: an essay on how Family Matters was actually like Fight Club, and an essay talking about Nietzsche and his implications for S Club 7.

- I officially love the good men and women of the magazine Der Spiegel for their no holds barred interview with Tom Cruise about his clambaking Scientologist proselytizing. (Link from jokersama.)

- See, people asking for money on the street can be funny! (Link from pekeana.)

Edit: Because this is quite possibly the best rendition of Megatardrama unnamed fandom drama there is.
