Some Highlights:

Some Other-lights:
This past week, I saw The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. It was as beautifully made as the first two but I found myself getting a little bored during it. I wrote a review of it but I've decided not to post it. The gist of it was that I felt there were a few scenes that could have been cut or shortened or saved for the extended version that will more than likely be sold. Oh, and it pulled an A.I. and dragged its ending out way too long. I don't care if that's how the book ended. Just because it's in the book, doesn't mean it has to be in the movie. Ah well... It's still a fabulous trilogy.
I began reading Yazawa Ai's "NaNa" despite not being able to find online translations. Whenever I search for them, I keep finding pages in Italian and I don't know enough Italian to translate that. LoL. FYI, Yazawa Ai is also the author of "Paradise Kiss" (I'm still waiting for the next volume of "ParaKiss" and "I.N.V.U." to come out).
The first series I ever tried to read -- and I mean really read, not just look at the pictures -- without translations was Watase Yuu's "Arisu 19th." I was actually kind of proud of myself because I got through a good portion of the first volume. However, it then reached the magical part of it and I was too lazy to look up words I didn't understand. Believe me, it is extremely important to understand what's being said in those parts. Those who are familiar with "Ayashi no Ceres" and "Fushigi Yuugi" should know.
Finally, I was so thrilled the other day because while flipping through channels I came across the rerun of SNL that featured the Backstreet Boys and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Wee!
