I got some amazing strawberry jam the other day. It’s made with just strawberries and grape juice. And good junipers, I feel like eating it out of the jar.
It always weirds me out when people eat condiment or filling material on its own. Many women seem to just eat peanut butter, with a spoon; something about that just feels revolting. I’ve also known people to eat ketchup or mustard. Or to drink maple syrup. Even eating luncheon meat on its own strikes me as a little bizarre; it’s like eating a fetal sandwich. By eating it on its own, you are preventing a proper sandwich from being made down the line.
But this… this is beauty and love. Which makes everything gross desirable, and excuses all awkwardness.
There’s a big, normal mainstream grocery store on the other side of the lake. I’m gonna go there tomorrow if I get enough written, and see if they have some Ovaltine already. I don’t get this. In San Francisco you can find Ovaltine in any corner shop. In Oakland, zilch. Is it that cosmopolitan a beverage?

Oh my lording kittens.
Watch the videos. Just. Do it. Halfway through the first one, if something doesn’t well up inside of you, you… uh, haven’t played the NES game.
I was really cynical until I started to flip through the pictures on the site. The earlier ones were pretty, though… a bit inscrutable. The videos, though. Oh lord, this is perfect This is exactly how the game should work.
Xbox game of 2008? I daresay!

I just figured out how to flip stuff in a frying pan.
I feel like one of those sushi chefs.

Well, hey. Someone said something nice here. He says a lot of interesting things, actually! Even about comics that don’t interest me, which frankly includes most comics. Sort of in the way that I don’t like videogames. For many of the same reasons.
Back to Junji Ito: this is my least favorite of the three volumes, in regard both to the material and to my work on it. Also, the cover kind of sucks. Still, that’s all relative. Overall, those three books are my proudest moment in localization. Seriously, anyone who hasn’t read ‘em, go do so. They’re very long, pretty inexpensive, and unusually well-made.
Speaking of localization, this game is… sort of odd. I think it reads pretty well, though.

Why do the third-party characters in Brawl have such… suggestive pictures?
