The Sandman

Just came back from work and Finland has got it's first medal in olympics from women's windsurfing. Fuck yeah! Hopefully all three from Finland make it to Javelin finals tomorrow. Damn, missed the 200m qualifiers as well. Atleast i'll be seeing the finals.

Men's 4x100m finals will be next Saturday and 200m finals is thursday evening i think. Those and Javelin are the ones to see for me, Javelin because that's pretty much the only thing Finland has any hope on getting a medal from.

BOLT 9.63!!

Bolt - 9.57

By the way, is Bolt running 200m this time?

Blake 9,85 - Bolt 9,87. New world record or incredibly close to that in few hours.

Metallica's St.Anger was the first album i bought. I was either 12 or 13, it was 2003 anyway. Before that i don't think i had ever really had interest to music, saw the St.Anger music video on tv and immediate thought was i need to get more. Nine years and counting, it's been the best band for me ever since. I don't recall buying many singles ever, i own Iron Maiden's Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg single from 2006, so i believe that's the first one and one of the very few i own.

Neon Genesis Evangelion Bakuman Pokemon (1 & 2 Generations, BW) Deadman Wonderland Welcome To The NHK Outlaw Star High School of the Dead Steins;Gate Toradora Guilty Crown Mirai Nikki Medaka Box Sankarea Sakamichi no Apollon I may be forgetting one or two, but that's pretty much all i've seen through. I remember reading first two volumes of Genshiken manga couple of years ago and that was good, might try to find the anime to see. I'll join the Sword Art Online watch, it sounds like it might be good.

I haven't seen any of those, after quick Wikipedia plot check Tatami Galaxy and Chaos;Head sound like something i might check, Nichijou possibly as well. I can't remember the exact episode of Death Note, but i switched from anime to manga (which i'm still yet to finish.) after... Very early on though, might check the anime version for fun sometime as well.

Been listening to some Baroness lately, way too rarely i find bands that i get excited about these days. Bought Red and Blue albums immediately and got the Yellow & Green pre-ordered. What's next, Gold and Silver?

I just finished Sakamichi no Apollon, i've been rambling about how good it is earlier as well, this goes pretty high on my all-time favourite animes (though there's not that many i've seen actually.) Right next to Toradora, Evangelion, Welcome to the NHK and Steins;Gate that i've thoroughly enjoyed. What to watch next, there's not really anything that interesting this summer. EWB, recommend something? Oh, Evangelion 3.0 is apparently coming out on November 17th in Japan.

The Book Job was a really good episode from last season, have you seen that? That and Holidays Of Future Passed are best Simpsons episodes of recent seasons.

Finished the first Hunger Games book and it was good, but i kind of expected it to be even darker, though my acknowledge about the whole trilogy was pretty much that it's similar idea to Battle Royale and the way they made it sound in the film's interviews made me think it would be more brutal or something, anyway a pretty good read, need to get the other two sometime. Going to start Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle next.

"Hi, Super Nintendo Chalmers." Also

"I am so smart. I am so smart. S-M-R-T." "I'm not normally a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman!" It's nowhere near as good as it was, but i just don't see me stop watching it. They still have atleast couple brilliant episodes in a season. The future christmas episode, the ocean's 11 and Lost parody episodes were great in Season 23. I hope that they would put out the DVD's more often than one season a year, at this rate the possible final season 25 will be out in 2022. EDIT: Just found out that one of my favourite Simpsons writer of recent years Matt Warburton wrote the awesome video game episode of Community.

July 23.

Kids on the Slope episode 2. Yep, it's great. I really like the animation of this show, the characters and especially Sentaro's drumming scene in the first one.

Bakuman has been great, i've watched the two seasons as well and i'm eight volumes into the manga so far, apparently the manga just finished in japan. It has quite the difference to Death Note, but i've enjoyed it. From the new ones Kids on the slope was my favourite after first episode, going to check atleast the next few ones of Medaka Box and Haiyore-Nyaruko san as well, Accel World was pretty cool as well. Still need to get through Steins;Gate, i've started watching it twice now and loved it on both times, but still i get stuck on early episodes and then i forget it for months. "Tutturuu" and so on...

I checked the pilot of Touch today and it was really good. Kiefer was great as the main lead, the story and characters seemed pretty interesting as well, hopefully it doesn't get cancelled right away. Been going through The OC in the past few weeks as well, what a fun show that was. I've yet to watch the last season, i somewhat remembered the show till the 'big death' in the season 3 finale, but i can't seem to remember what the last season was like other than Volchok/Ryan confrontation at some point.
