Yep, that’s right. Today in my e-mail I had the honor of receiving spam from Japan. I’ve gotten Korean, Russian, and Spanish spam, but only now have I gotten Japanese spam. Of course, it’s in Japanese, so I can’t read it. So let’s just see what Altavista Bablefish has to say about it.

You know, you just hope and you hope that something like this is going to translate into something crazy, and in the end it just exceeds even your wildest expectations.

“Don’t you try leaping large?” Well, I never really thought about it! What benefits does leaping large have?

“If it becomes that air, the money has fallen to the foot!” THE foot? As in, The Foot Clan? Oh no! The money! What will the Ninja Turtles do if it becomes that air!

Priceless. I hate spam so much, but as far as I’m concerned, Japanese spam like this gets a free pass. Please transmit reception denial? No way! Price is super low price! Bring it on!

Early this week I had another appointment with my doctor regarding my wrist. His recommendation at this point was to get a brace. I picked one out the next day and have been wearing it pretty much ever since in order to get comfortable with it. It keeps my wrist straight and has a lot of padding to protect the area that hurts the most. Hopefully, once I get used to it, I’ll be able to get back in the swing of things and start drawing again, or colouring at the very least. It’s a bit cumbersome but we’ll see how it works out. All in all it seems to be doing better after taking it easy for awhile.

Yeah, I bought even more new Transformers this week.

Finally, I now have the chaos bringer!

Thanks to a tip I read on The Allspark, I was able to buy myself a planet eating god of destruction for a paltry $30 Canadian. The price tags on the shelf said that it was over twice the price, but the store computers at Wal-Mart told a different tale. It’s the black Energon version, not the orange Armada version (which I will probably buy later anyways), but now after wanting one for so long, I finally have Unicron, and he’s a big, bad, monster of a robot. So if you’re in Canada, check your local Wal-Mart because this excellent price is apparently in effect all over the country, though who knows for how long.

And just today, after searching all week, I got the brand new Transformers Universe Ramjet with four Minicons, exclusive to Toys R Us. And I bet I got it before it hit saturation in the US too, which is nice for a change. Some people complain that the Air Military Minicons are barely recoloured from their original release, but I don’t really care since they’re new to me. It’s a great value for what you’re getting.

I was hoping to finally get ahold of the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime, since Wal-Mart has apparently got it for $50 Canadian now, which is a freakin’ unbelievable price, but I wasn’t able to find one there. It might seem like I’m spending a lot, but honestly I’m really behaving here. There’s so much new stuff coming out and so much more released a while ago that I didn’t get. I’m just picking up the few that I really like to keep pace with what’s out there.

If I were screaming rich, of course, I’d buy them all. Hmm, Maybe some day.

I adopted a cute lil’ ninja fetus

from Fetusmart! Hooray fetus!

Disturbing, and yet fascinating. Perhaps this can provide clues into my secret origin?

I love April Fools Day.

Got an interesting guestbook post from “Tai” recently, where it was exclaimed that “Transforers rule!!!!“

Thank you for informing me of this. I, personally, perfer TransforMers over Transforers, but what do I know, right?

Yeah yeah, I kid. Guestbook posts are always welcomed and highly encouraged.

I’m finished work at Comic Book Masters for the time being so, and so my time away from the makeshift classroom has afforded me a luxury that far too many take for granted: Saturday Morning Television.

You know what I saw today? I saw something so horrifying it made my eyeballs burst from my skull like two overripe cherries.

I saw… Power Rangers.

Ok, I exaggerate. It wasn’t that bad. Some moments were actually fairly entertaining, I suppose. I caught the tail end of an episode of “Ninja Storm“, and what had to be the first episode of the new “Dino Thunder“, featuring the return of Tommy, the original Green Ranger. The episode was titled “Day of the Dino“. How clever. The production values certainly seem higher than Power Rangers did back in the day, and there was actually some sort of plot. Of course, I made fun of it anyway. I mean, when you’re introducing a character who’s wearing an all red soccer uniform, do you think that maybe, just maybe, he’ll be the new red ranger?

As is well known by know, my opinion on the original Sentai series isn’t much better. But there is a similar show that I’ve become a big fan of, and it’s currently available for free download. It’s called Chou SeiShin GranSazer, and it rocks. It takes a lot of the better elements of Power Rangers (the transformations, the robots, the fighting, and so on) and throws away a lot of the lame stuff. It doesn’t stick to one predictable formula either, and there’s a pretty epic story line. Good looking girls too. If you’re into Japanese live action like I am, check out a few episodes at TV-Nihon while you can and let me know on the board what you thought about it.

And, yeah, I watch the live action Sailor Moon series too. As a matter of fact, I watch it very carefully.
