The anime for Tsubasa is horrendous, so I recommend staying far, far away from it. Except for the "Mokona the Artist" episode, because it was bizarre and hilarious. The OVAs for the Tokyo and Nihon arcs that were produced by a different studio are available from Funimation on Youtube for free, so long as you have a…

Oh man, I know all about CLAMP. I have like a serious CLAMP problem (Nanase Okawa is my lord and master) and putting way too much thought into their stories is one of my favorite things to do. I have read all but like 5 of their properties and have stopped going to CLAMP panels at cons because it usually turns into me…

I was discussing this with my friend the other day and realized that this deeply flawed thinking is why this

Okay, I just need some clarification here- I'm reasonably certain I understand the polygamy part of this, but was cohabitation of the normal variety (i.e. an unmarried couple living together) illegal in Utah before this? If so, I would find that to be the craziest part of this whole thing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that immediately thought that.

Could you post a screen grab? I couldn't get it to work :(

I don't think my parents even realized a dietician was appreciably different than a commercial program. It definitely is, but I don't think they understood that. I know that our doctor had advised my mom to have me lose weight, but I don't think he sent her to Weight Watchers (I would sure as hell hope not). Their…

Holy shit! As a 6 year old?! Did they take you to meetings or did they just do it on their own? I have major issues with Weight Watchers. I am overweight myself (my previous post is sort of an amalgam of things I've picked up from colleagues who work with obesity, nutrition, and eating disorders and my own…

My weight is between me, my doctor, my nutritionist, and anyone else who needs to know for my health/medical reasons.

Now, onto how to approach family and friends. Please note that while obesity does have health risks at the population level, this doesn't always translate into individual risk and an individual's behaviors can help mitigate that risk. That is, someone who is overweight or obese, but eats well and is physically active,…

Hey there,

Special K commercials are the fucking worst. Like, they had some commercial a while back with the lady looking at pants and the sizes all said like super positive stuff like "I fell great!" "I look awesome!" etc etc and and the voice-over says "Wouldn't it be great if we focused on how we feel instead of what size we…

Hahaha oh man really?! That makes is SO MUCH BETTER.

Oh I know! It just makes me giggle when I see it since that kind of notation has become such a standard thing in fanfiction. I know the title probably predates that (or at least predates the "/" becoming a widely known fanfic thing), but I can't help but make the association. And since DC is run by the douchiest…

I definitely agree that she doesn't need to be in a romantic relationship, although I do not have high hopes for that being the choice they make, even if she does get a solo movie. A friend and I have been brainstorming what we would want a Wonder Woman movie to look like if WB and DC weren't completely terrible…

Haha it's all good. Like I said, I understood what you meant and only commented because of the "Seriously DC, maybe you should google that title before you slap it on more projects" thing.

I assume you mean Wonder Woman where you wrote Batman. I only comment because I mock the hell out of all titles with a "/" in it, since that has become standard fanfic notation for a pairing. Every time a see a property that is like "Superman/Batman" I giggle a little bit, even though I know that isn't what they mean.…

Agreed. It's not perfect (I disagree with some of the choices he made, although I understand why he made them to tell the story), but it is solid and I've been enjoying it thus far. I also really love a lot of the art and character design stuff.

Whoaaa that was longer than I intended. Apologies for the wall of text.

It's just never really made sense to me as a pairing, other than people being like "Well, this is the most famous and powerful dude and this is the most famous and powerful lady, so CLEARLY they should hook up." But like, their dynamics don't really gel. They don't really have much beyond being super powerful in…
