Manga (listed with release date)-

Don’t worry, no spoilers. But while you wait for my HP7 review (I’m at 407 words right now… so I am working on it… it’s hard to get all my thoughts on the book and the series into words), I thought I’d entertain you with today’s Ask John article from AnimeNation, on the subject of John’s opinion on the possibility of a Harry Potter anime:

Ask John, via AnimeNation

I’ve got a couple big things coming up on Sunday, and one of them prompted this post.

The thing that didn’t prompt this post is that my boyfriend comes home that day. ^_^

The second prompted this post.

I consider myself an AMV creator, but really, I dabble. I’ve completed only 5 AMVs, and two of them I don’t have, since my hard drive crashed (note to self: Dinger might have copies of them; ask him). The other three are up on The Org.

The first was actually done as a joke. I was trying to get all the shots I could of Luc and Sarah’s outfits from Suikoden III, and threw some of the OP’s text and some music there and called it an AMV. It’s only 20 seconds long or so.

I have learned the Keith Takashi, Art History teacher at Shoreline Community College will be one of the speakers at Sakura-Con .

I have a new found respect for the funny man who makes art history fun for me 5 times a week. I mean seriously, first he plays excerpts of Monthy Python’s Life of Brian to illustrate the symbolism of the Catholic church in Renaissance paintings, then he said that he would try to get some students tickets to the con? This dude rocks.
