I've been wanting to do the 100 things... meme but with me being me, I couldn't find enough things in my so-called life to fill up a list of 50, never mind a hundred {sweatdrop}.So, I resorted to my usual fallback: anime and manga. And the title that won the honor of being First to Have a 100 Things List is——Ouran High School Host Club!! That ineffably funny and probably far too charming for its own good shoujo opus by Bisco Hatori-sensei. The anime adaptation wraps up this month, so consider this my marker for the occasion.100 Things I Wub About Ouran High School Host ClubFujioka HaruhiSuou TamakiOotori Kyoya (KYAA! ^^)Hitachiin HikaruHitachiin KaoruHaninozuka MitsukuniMorinozuka TakashiSakura Kiss by Kawabe Chiekored rosesthe third music roomand the grand piano we won't see till later in the seriesIrasshaimase!the eight million yen vasethe eight million yen debtthe first of six lit light bulbsthe sixth lit light bulbthe Ouran High School male school uniform (winter version)instant coffee ("HESCAFE")Haruhi's school bagthe Bali cosplaytea service (Ginori, Worcester, Wedgwood, Foley...)the Host Club that exists to bring fortune to ladiesootoro (for Haruhi) Kyoya's glassesKyoya's research file Kyoya's celphoneteardrops from eyedropsShissou 「SPRINT」 by LAST ALLIANCETamaki's fatherly pretensionsTamaki's piano virtuosity Tamaki's sakura tattooTamaki in a corner when depressed Okasan (mom)Haruhi's love letter to Suzushima Tooru-kun "Uki Doki Memorial"the video shot by Renge's Hollywood crewRenge cosplaying Kisaragi Quon from RahXephonRenge's high-powered motorHikaru with pink hairKaoru with blue hairThe wild typeThe cool typeThe lolishota typeThe little devil typeThe Prince Charming typethe natural rookieHaruhi's middle school picturesTamaki's blown-up picture of Haruhi in middle schoolmale Haruhi shopped pictureEverything's going according to plangiant crabsTamaki saving Haruhi from drowning Tamaki getting mad at Haruhi for not asking for helpKyoya teaching Haruhi the difference between the sexes.

Let's face it, we're the TiVo generation. Advertisers are trying all sorts of crazy things, like one-second ads and ads with hidden frames in them targetted at "skippers", any gimmicks that they can to grab some attention from that ad market who supposedley "skips 70% of ads on prime-time TV." ...

A Word From Some Jabroni Pretty exciting week on the index again.. although mostly in the shape of huge drops for series as that lightbulb in my head exploded and told me to grab my ass because this series is stuck in major turbulence. But the silver lining to that is that it also meant I could do some pretty bare-bones recaps, which is win for me anyway. And on that subject, posts may become

I hadn’t said a whole lot about Ouran Highschool Host Club, because mostly it’s just really good, and I don’t have much commentary to provide other than, like, “LOLOLOL”. I would just like to say though, that, while episode 15 was up to snuff in terms of general quality (this show has a lot [...]

So my sister had me buy her some stuff at Amazon.com that resulted in a $30 gift certificate rebate. She told me to keep it as my birthday present. At first I was gonna use it to help buy a Macbook, but I think I'll wait on that. I Remembered that Amazon.com had a buy 3 get 1 free book promotion thing going on ages ago. Apparently it's still going on! So Instead, I used the credit to buy manga! Manga manga manga!
