It's early -

Jim was telling me the other day how he had been recommended Big O as an anime -

"Cross Batman with James Bond, add one hoooge kick-ass robot 10 storeys tall."

Why this comes up is due to finding my copy of the first Big O DVD - it had been packed away, unopened since last year. Yes, I had the balance of the series on DVD out, opened and greatly enjoyed - but I'd yet the see the first four episodes.

I can see why the Batman reference was drawn, but I think anyone equating it with James Bond would do so only if they had never seen Man From UNCLE - which in MHO, is a much better fit.

sithdragon - imagine Napoleon Solo with the title of Negotiator. And if Illya Kuryakin isn't goth enough for you, I don't know what is.

I'd also add a healthy dollop of Starsky & Hutch - particularly Hutch wearing black and looking tasty.

Now...add some of the BEST art and music you've heard in ten years, ditto storyline and character development...and you have one of the properties I use to introduce people to anime.

It's currently in its second season, now airing on Adult Swim on Sundays - the season opener could have tipped its hat to The Prisoner.

It's good. Very good. In case you hadn't noticed.

Dear Santa -

Because August is almost over and it's time to drag out the wish list.

What I Want For Christmas

If you smoke, quit.

If you don't smoke, I love bath fizzies.

juan70x, I'd like a visit sometime next year.
being_homeless, I'd like to send you a new pair of shoes.
bigbigtruck, the_boyfriend - let's attend each other's housewarming parties.
varna, you are getting the same thing this year as you got last year. Cos' you didn't use it all up. Dig?
trcabbage - while I'm thinking about it, more Leno pictures. Bet those muscadines make kick-ass jelly.
ceolyn, you want that trip to Disneyland, I'm your huckleberry - but scary as it sounds, nytshaed is the Disney maven to have along.
I'd like to put shadesong and firez in a nice, quiet room together. She's poly, he's gay and they might talk about sex, but I doubt it would be anything people would expect. They'd have a lot to talk about.
feyandstrange - I'd like to take you to see my team at Cedars-Sinai. Even if they couldn't come up with a better answer, you'd have some really good friends to call who'd understand for a change.
christophine needs a life anywhere but Hellano. I wonder if she and aoniedesade would get along....
darthneko, meet lokisfern. Now go draw something. Please.
chestercheeto can come to my Christmas Eve Open House - please?

...there will be more. Lemme think. How many days to Christmas?
