Lindsay Ellis + Tom Milsom + Mike Rugetta = ?

So I was watching Nostalgia Chick's review of Return to Me and I remembered an another movie I saw called Searching for David's Heart, which was also about a heart transplant and I was wondering how there was a thing about heart transplants back in 1990s. Then, I realized that internet and heat transplantation were starting to be in common place in 1990s.

Then I realized how weird it was... How we can send ideas with light and transfer someone's piece of body to someone else. It felt so weird and futuristic, but yet it was novel twenty years ago and no one even thinks about it. Heck, maybe in twenty years we could send actual hearts by light! (We have the technology...)

Just twenty years to be commercialized and twenty more to disappear into society...

I felt a strange optimism in knowing that technology that thought catastrophic in science fiction in the 50s are realized today, and yet people go on doing stuff people having doing for centuries. There was a optimism in the idea that we're still human after all the changes in technology, that they're still tools for us not the controller.

Then I realized that I finally got a response to Mike Rugetta's Futurama video. Louis CK's idea of Everything is Amazing, and Nobody is Happy is not a bad thing for me. It's actually good! It's actually good that life goes on with technology rather having technology ruling over us.

Being content means there's nothing to do.

That is really boring.

I'll tell you what I told someone after he found out I was an atheist and asked, "Why do you want to go to Hell rather than Heaven?"

"Because Hell has something to do."

Thanks for reading.

Two Puzzles...

My mind is going through the puzzles today...

These two have a proximate similarity and distant similarity... you have to name both to win.

First one was asked before and is about medium difficulty.
Second one is new and is slightly harder (especially if you use the internet.)

Puzzle 1: What does these four high school (approximately) have in common?

Newport High School
Skyline High School
Lynnwood High School
Lakes High School

Puzzle 2: What does these three people have in common?

Good Luck!

12 Episode Anime Review- Kampfer

Instead of scheduled blog post, the studio will present you another part of our new series, 12 episode anime review.

Hello and welcome to 12 Episode Anime Review, A 12 part series where we look at 12 episode anime!

Today, we have a delightful series called Kampfer!

Kampfer is about a group of girl fighters who gains a male member (as a female) and they have fun.

And that's about it. I mean I watched this about a year ago and that's what I remember.

My biggest pet peeve in the series is the love triangle. I mean if you find out your crush was a lesbian, you make up your mind and get a another women, because well there's people waiting! I mean, girl likes you as a women anyway, so why not just go out as a women? Jeez!

Anyway, I like the abridge series better, let's just say at that.

Thank you for reading my haphazardly written review and I'll see you on Tuesday!

Year in Review: Charlie and Alex Day

Sorry for missing yesterday and hopelessly filling with uncommitted series.

But let's get started on the review!

My Top 5 video from Charlie in 2012

5. Time to Reply- One of very few song made me cry on the first hearing. It was genuine, yet dreamy like those candies that grandma gives you when come for Christmas. Enigmatic too, like where did the idea come from and why did he decided to write out as a song? Anyway, it's beautiful and I listen to it from time to time.

4. Charlie with Hank!- Charlie's mid-life crisis has everyone discuss everything: 'Is his YouTube rules stupid? ', 'Where could I bu that calendar?' and 'Will Hank finish the Portal with Charlie?' But to me, I picked the video where Charlie talks with Hank, because it reminds me that Hank has become Galileo of YouTube. (As in, famous YouTubers come and discuss their philosophy with him when they have a crisis.) Does that mean his middle finger is going to preserved forever? Maybe not.

3. Super Survey- Just because it introduced many people to the World of Ciaran O'Brien. He is an amazing guy.

2. The Other Charlie- Clever, nice and Very Charlie. Enjoyed it very much.

1. I'm Scared- Not everyone can make a big discussion in YouTube, and get something from it. But Charlie did it twice in one year. This video in black and white is not only well put but also thought-provoking as to a person who'll never thought making videos will get him so much attention. But now, everyone single video does. Gonna admire this guy.

NOW for Alex and HIS videos of 2012.

5- Record Label are Rubbish: After Alex Day had a smash hit in Forever Yours, three companies decided to bring him in. He rejected all of them. I don't know, he's being excessively pompous or just has a strong hope for YouTube but... that's Alex Day for you. (Also recommend: Hitler and Sex by John Green for his take on old media.)

4- Nicki Minaj lyric dissected- Just watch it for the brillance of Alex Day. (Warning: NSFW)

3- The storyboard for Good Morning Sunshine: Best storyboard ever.

2- Why does Olympics matter?- (Turns on TV) (watches a girl doing a nerdfighter sign in international television.) (looks at phone) (sees the same girl on your twitter feed) (ask the girl to see her) YouTube magic.

1- The summer songs: On infinite loop as we speak.

(Note: does anyone realize Good Morning Sunshine sounds like a State Farm jingle?
Alex Day: "Good morning sunshine, I hope that you're well"
State Farm: "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there"
Don't tell me they have different melodies, because they totally do.)

Thank you for another hastily made blog post by David Kim. Thank you.

12 Episode Anime Review- Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Welcome to a 12 part series where I look at 12 episode anime! (That I'll probably won't finish!)
But seriously, I already have 2 review written and I'll probably publish those later this week.
But first! Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Ode to Madoka
by David Kim

Have you heard the story of Madoka,
The last member of the Pandora's box?
She went in the way of the man, Ashoka;
That voice that make men drop rocks.

She was some ordinary girl
Till at the very last moment,
When after some twirl and a whirl
Made a wish so potent.

Ah yes, don't forget Sashya and Homura
Without her, whom it wouldn't be possible
And that girl who like to eat tempura
Yes, Kyoko and Mami, the sensible.

Those who live as liches,
Fighting for all our sorrows
Inviting us to their ditches,
Those who wait for no tomorrow.

A magical girl, one say
A weasel-like creature.
For any girl can try and may
Make a wish with any feature;

For that wish, they will fight,
But like any fruit that's not eaten,
They'll find that what's been right
Had let themselves heathen.

Once gems turn into seeds,
Letting friends be enemies,
And when you done your deed
You'll move on, brought to your knees.

What a horrible destiny,
Letting girls be a breeze
To a windmill, in ignominy
Trying to stop the big freeze.

But Madoka intrude
leaving others with misama,
Like the story of Gertrude
That turns into Classical Drama!

I don't know too much.
In truth, no one knows it all.
They were only two that clutch
Her essence after Time stall.

Magician Madoka, Slave to the Deceiver
How did you buy your way out?
How do I, lowly receiver
Get to your way about?

But I still tell the Madoka's story
Who I heard from a young mime
Who he heard from Rory
And so forth, till the beginning of Time.
