Work is devouring my brain!

Hello! Wow I seem to be doing this disappearing act more and more lately. This time it wasn’t for any great reason either, just work keeping me offline. I managed to stop in and answer a PM or two during this week but mostly I barely managed to check and see if I had any actual PM’s before getting pulled back on my latest job. Is it bad to say that I find it vaguely exciting when the bad guys give me a good run for my money in locating them? LoL Never fear though, they may be smart but I’m about as tenacious as a pit bull so they’re not going to be able to hide for much longer. And with luck since half of my networks are updating software tonight I can find some time to not only post this message but get to a few sites as well! I’ll apologize now if I don’t make it to everyone’s site, I’ll do my best though!

I am also just positively thrilled to see what Frank Miller’s latest movie project is! Hmm if you don’t know who Frank Miller is you’ve made me very sad. LoL He’s an amazing comic artist and writer who recently came to the world of movie making with a amazing debut of Sin City! Now he’s bringing to life one of my absolute fave graphic novel, 300. If you were a fan of Sin City or Gladiator type movies then trust me you’ll be on the edge of your seat waiting for this one to come out! Since I can’t describe it better than he does, he’s what the official movie site lists as the synopsis. “Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller, “300” is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerald Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire al of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy. The film brings Miller’s acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale.” Now if that sounds interesting to you then please visit their web site and check out the trailers you can find the site by clicking on the image below this paragraph. Just watching the few minutes they show has made me almost drool for this movie’s release! I will most definitely be in the theater opening night! And most of you know I detest opening night showings! I’m tempted to make a 300 theme now…but I’ll wait…a little bit longer. LoL

Hmm other than work nothing really interesting is going on in my life, I haven’t even had time to discover any new anime or manga to toss out for you guys to watch. I suppose I could always hype one of the old ones. Yeah I can do that, I still have some time before I can go back to work. ^^

Since I recently re-watched this series I’ll happily send folks out to watch Whistle! This is yet another sports anime and manga that I’ll recommend to everyone! It’s a very sweet story with a great group of appealing characters. The anime moves a bit quick and ends far before I was ready to let go of the characters, but at least it’s nicely put together and doesn’t leave you hanging terribly. The main theme revolves around a young boy named Kazamatsuri Shou, who loves soccer more than anything. His dream is to become a pro soccer player, even though he’s not very good at playing soccer. He was accepted to the prestigious Musashi no Mori Junior High, known for its top rate soccer team, but he was never able to rise beyond the rank of third stringer because he’s pretty small. After transferring to Sakura Jousui Junior High, he can finally play soccer. And, with the support of his new friends and teammates, his strong determination, and lots of hard work, his soccer skills are developing rapidly and setting Shou well on his way to achieving his dream. I completely adore Shou…he’s completely without ego and just plain adorable! He’s got this smile that makes me smile back without even thinking! Which I find very strange for an anime! ^^

Alright so time for me to run away! Take care everyone and chat with you all very soon!
