One of the things I've tried to do these last few months is get into anime. It's cool, and I like it, but I generally don't watch a lot of movies. Back in New York I got into a habit of putting movies on while I worked on other stuff. In some ways, it's a great strategy to pick out good movies, as you only stop working and watch the movie if it's grabbing your attention.
... The down side is you miss a lot of nuances and details.
Anyway, I digress. This week I watched Cowboy Bebop and Princess Mononoke. I also tried to watch Metropolis for the second time in my life... That is to say, both times I failed miserably: I rent the movie and end up falling asleep. The movie is cool and the Art Deco feel reminds me of both Bioshock and Atlas Shrugged. The problem is I rent it at inopportune times, and end up passing out from being too tired.
... And now it's onto manga. There's a copy of Zombie Loan waiting for me two meters away. Yes, I read manga for teens -- but how else am I to practice Japanese?

I hear a Zombie Lease is really the way to go these days.
Well, it's sort of like hedging your bets, right?
Anyway, excuse me as I build my bunker and fill it with supplies. :)
what did you think about cowboy bebop?
it's a favorite.
It was pretty good! I got it because you recommended it, so if you have any other tips, please do let me know. Can't go wrong listening to Ray... So far. :)
