Sunday Afternoon Blog Roundup
Once again my occasional push to have folks try out some other great blogs out there, if you aren't already.
First, two new blogs I've discovered in recent weeks.
J-Pop CD Cover Art is just that, a collection of scanned CD cover art with some commentary. It's fun to look at and you get a peek at another fan's taste in Jpop.
And it's been getting a lot of buzz, but I must recommend Old Grandma Hardcore - the title brings up all the wrong ideas (gleefully so, I'd bet) but it's written by someone whose grandmother is a very dedicated gamer. It's not only fun to read (and watch short videos) of his kindly old grandmother cursing like a sailor while playing Prince of Persia or Conker, but also to see the extent of knowledge and interest she's invested in her hobby.
And while I've had it on the Favorite Blogs list a while, I haven't mentioned that Story's Goo Blog is a great resource for people wanting Jpop PVs on their PSPs. Someday soon, I'll get a PSP and make full use of that site...
Idolizing St. Anna has several posts about the recent Girl's Box concerts featuring Paradise Go!! Go!!, SweetS, and dream. The first post notes that dream's Tachibana Kana had injured her arm playing futsal - hopefully, she'll heal quickly and be ready to lead TeamDream the upcoming tournament.
undoing the mercator projection covers some odds and ends, including a very insightful assessment of Amuro Namie's new album. Oh, and the last sentence of her two-sentence review of BoA's "We + Girls on Top" performance is really funny. (Well, I laughed, at least.)
One last note, to Jarret of I'm bad at naming things: I know what a WaWa is, from back when I attended Cabrini College in Radnor, PA, over fifteen years ago. It was an integral source for my dormitory junk food habits. I also remember a rather pathetic comic shop at King of Prussia Mall, but that's neither here nor there.

And to think you once called Namie Amuro cute, yet you didn't even double check this blog entry to make sure her name wasn't misspelled -- unless, of course, that was intentional, in which case I'm only setting myself up for a major burn.
Don't mind me. I just haven't commented on your entries for a while now and I'm giving you some now so you don't offer up your desktop in an effort to harvest more comments. ROTFL
I really should use stop posting as Anonymous. I'm quite paranoid about identity posing though, so you'll just have to bear receiving anonymous comments from me -- you should be used to it by now anyway. XP
Cross out the word "use" (the fourth word of the last paragraph). I guess it's true that three fingers, or however many fingers the saying says there are, always point back at the one who points blame. LOL
I modified the post to correct that nasty typo, thanks... and hey, I'll take any excuse for comments!
How does one injure their arm playing a game where you use you feet?
Kana's goalie. (And captain of the team, too!)
At Penn State, if I mention WaWa to anyone from, say, Pittsburgh, I get funny stares.
Who's that girl in the fourth picture on the left of your page?
Not sure how large your screen is, so here's a rundown of the ten pics on the side: Howie from Big Brother 3, the dream PV from last week, Infinite Crisis #1, Morning Musume from Hello! Morning, Hinoi Team's "King Kong" PV, SweetS' Haruna from "Lolita Strawberry in Summer" PV, Tommy February6's "Ready" PV, Harry Potter, Gatas during futsal practice, and the Heartsdales PV.
I'm guessing he/she was referring to the SweetS image since that's the fourth image that I usually get regeardless of my resolution.
