That's right, The X Bridge. It kind of makes sense considering that name is my domain's name. Plus, it doesn't sound as generic as just "The Bridge," but hey, that's business.

Oh, that's right. I have to talk about SD Gundam. I don't wanna. Afterall, I missed the first episode because my cable went BLZZZLTZZZZZ before the TOM opening ended and came back on right at the tail end of the White Stripes video (confidentially, I'm a little creeped out by TOM quoting Vanilla Ice) and I can't really judge the whole series after just one episode (and a lackluster one at that). Under normal circumstances, I would review the series. However, I'm going to play nice and give the series a thorough review by the end of the week. If I had to review the series just on the one episode alone, I'd have to nitpick like crazy and piss off the Gundam fanatics out there.

So I'll wait.

Are you aware that this year marks three significant aniversaries in the anime world? 2003 is the 40th anniversary of the first anime series to air in America, Astro Boy, the 25th anniversary of Gatchaman's arrival in the US as Battle of the Planets, and the 5th anniversary of the Japanese premiere of Cowboy Bebop.

One more thing.

I really, really hate thunderstorms, and I hear one coming right now as I write this update. So, I'm cutting it short for now. I'll update later tonight if weather allows.
