The Bride is watching...
I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but a few weeks ago I was at my local video store and I came across an enormous cardboard cut-out of The Bride from Kill Bill.
It's sort of like one of those displays you see at cinemas. It would have to be 7ft tall or more - it's Uma (from the cover of KB v1) and she's got the logo underneath her feet. The actual picture of Uma is probably life-size. It is huge.
So anyway, I mentioned to my mother at the time that it I thought it was pretty cool. I think I said something like "it'd be great if they sold those, so I could buy one."
So what happens?
My mother, being the person she is, went and asked if the store would give it to us when they're finished.
So what happens? We get a call tonight - "Yeah, you can come and pick up Uma now."
So here I am, writing this post, with a life-size Bride standing in the corner. Crazy, huh?
It's insanely cool. I figure that it could be very collectable in the future too; it's in great quality. I'm going to take a photo of it if I can, to show you what it looks like. ~_^
If I wasn't a certified Kill Bill nut before, then I surely am now. o_O;
In other news, I am really pleased with the response that Jason and I have received from our recent IGN feature (Jason being a colleague from N-Sider). We recently wrote an article together, which discusses Nintendo's next-gen game console.
The fact that our stuff is now being displayed on IGN means that more people are reading our work. And that in turn has resulted in some interesting feedback from readers. I've seen overwhelmingly positive comments about it, so I'm happy with that. It's the sort of thing that encourages you to continue with what you're doing.
Before you go, please visit The White Butterfly. This is Alan's site, which Tony has kindly offered to host for him. Alan's web skills have increased significantly since he first appeared in our community and he should be proud of the site he has there at the moment. I'm sure we'll see great things from him in the future.
Oh and, if you're still bored, check out Revolution Realized, which is the article that I mentioned in this post.
