Playlist: Spherical Ice, Day-Glo Brothers, Maru the Cat, and More

08:00 24.06.2009 Playlist: Spherical Ice, Day-Glo Brothers, Maru the Cat, and More : The carefully hand-carved orb of ice used to chill our last Yamazaki single malt in Tokyo wasn't just for show. As master bartenders there know, a 2-inch diameter ball of cold has a lower surface-area-to-volume ratio than a typical cube. That means it melts more slowly, preventing vintage hooch ...

CLAMP, apocalyptic themes, what's not to like?

... and I am weak, lazy, and easily tempted. * Tokyo Babylon has such an '80s vibe, doesn't it? Easily explained by being set/written in 1990, but I keep expecting Hokuto to break out the dayglo legwarmers and start dancing to Cyndi Lauper or something. * If Cardcaptor Sakura and Diabolo had a baby, it would be Tokyo Babylon. *is possibly the only person who's read Diabolo* * Subaru is adorable ...

RAD. that my head almost explodes. all the puzzle pieces fell into place perfectly and basically the puzzle is a picture of a kitten with angel wings flying over a loaded bong and there are wizards huddled somewhere with a rainbow backdrop and i'm on four hits of acid and seeing the world as a blacklight velvet painting. i don't even know what the fuck i'...

Thoughts on Batyaoi.

...the happy family bit right before it because you know that it's all going to be horribly shattered in the next fifteen minutes) than Dark and Gritty Batman . I also admit that it was unrepentantly wacky, in a 90s dayglo sort of way, but it was fun that way. And oh, the slash. The slash. I am 99.9% sure that the Riddler was gay in this one, and Two-Face somewhere in the department of open-minded,...

... for a great website! and happy holidays from scandinavia ! ________________________ Sounds like a textbook-example teenager.  Nothing at all wrong with that, it just seems to be scribbled all over it in invisible dayglo crayon.  the missing shift key on her (his) keyboard just seals the deal. :) ...and if I may say the proposed story to me sounds like it would be DEPRESSING AS HELL.  Sounds ...

... ninjas. This said, if you like your stories to occur in a linear order, and have no sense of humor or a capacity for amazing ridiculous coincidences and are basically dull, this is not for you. If you understand humor, and can wrap your mind around terribly mindfuckable things, and are maybe a little warped as a person, this is for you. The fuzzy dayglo pink cover helps. Read it.
