you might enjoy a great slice of life film called Ocean Waves (also known as I Can Hear the Sea). it's an older Ghibli film from 1993 and it's a great look at semi-rural Japan and relationships of young people. this is in my top 5 Ghibli films.

she is from Dr. Slump, a series Toriyama did before Dragonball, but apparently existing in the same universe. she's not from Dragonball. Dr. Slump is by far better than Dragonball, simply for the fact that he stopped it before it became ridiculous. no, ridiculous is the wrong word, because Dr. Slump is hilariously…

does A Scanner Darkly count as a "cartoon"?

yeah, the really long ones. i could use tongs, but they limit movement and their hollow construction makes them really hard to clean thoroughly.

i really miss SimEarth, that game was challenging as hell and had an insane learning curve.... i wish it can a sequel because it was fun trying to figure out how to play the game, and learning a lot that's useful in biology class while researching what all the terminology meant.

You want something chopped off?

dual blades, big ass sword, bow, and hunting horn.

IKR? and even though there's another Avian flu epidemic in Hong Kong for the past 2 months, i'm still eating this once every few days... because it's so damn good...

someone already did, much more conpetently, in 90 minutes. take a look at Lanceptions's post and their take on Felicia.

now this should be showcased by Luke. it's far better than the "humble little artist" up top. no hipster glasses, weird perms, palette screw ups, weird skin-tight female sailor shorts. and the face (as well as muscle clusters) is well proportioned.

pointy ones or flat head ones? i'd say practice with the flat head ones using shelled peanuts or pistachios on a plate.

one of the worst to pick up are straw mushrooms, they often don't have any good gripping surface to hold on to it very well, and after cooking, they are considerably heavier and larger than say... an edamame bean or salted peanut, the latter of which was what i used to practice as a child, just moving peanuts from…

what's your point in bringing in a British Imperialist photo into this conversation about chopsticks use between Japan and China?

the hell are you talking about? we're talking about eating Chinese food with chopsticks.

but it's not her showing her art. her name isn't Luke Plunkett. and i have said something akin to that to a MtG artist's face, and to 2 more who are a husband and wife team, although that's more towards their own game. i thought one of the first artist's pieces had some fugly bits, and i called him out on it. he…

mostly it's pretty informal, but i think antimoebius answered the gist of it. for example, i've been taught from a young age it's impolite to bend your hand backwards when serving beverages (or even to use your left hand) because that's what you do when serving dead ancestors. mostly forgotten customs unlike the…

yes, i would say i think her work looks like crap to her face. worthless is a different matter, but you wouldn't know the difference.

no wonder he's so angry... ;P

here, friend. you may find this useful. =)

err... wrap end of drumstick in a folded napkin. hold thigh with hand.
