...at least Allmusic doesn't list any team fight songs...

Happy birthday to Yoshino Takamori(who turns 46)and Ai Iura(who turns 32).On the subject of the former,I'm just 4 episodes into Fushigi no Umi no Nadia though Hama-hama likely doesn't show up until later on...

I only found the name by accident while reading through the weekly NFL injury status reports recently,and I actually thought that Haruki Nakamura was actually born in Japan.While there has yet to be a Japanese-born player to play in a regular season NFL game,Masafumi Kawaguchi and Noriaki Kinoshita have both participated in NFL training camps and preseason games...

Someday,I'll get into Eyeshield 21...

Happy birthday to Bon Ishihara(who turns 54),Keiko Aizawa(who turns 46),Junko Minagawa(who according the most reliable English sources turns 34),and Mitsutaka Itakura(who turns 33)...

Sometime this week(Tuesday or Thursday),I've gotta swing down to Oto's to replenish depleting stocks of Japanese treats to bring to work for snack breaks.However,forecast models for those two days are rather dicey;but in the case of Tuesday nothing is expected to fall from the sky until at least sunset and even that Tuesday/early Wednesday system is lamb preceding a lion of a system for later in the week,and I'd still rather venture all the way there and back on transit than for my folks to even set foot into that sacred market.Not to mention that some co-workers think I go there for 'pick up' purposes...

As long as the Indianapolis Dolts and New Orleans Aints don't simultaneously 18-0 their way into Super Bowl XLIV,all will be well with the world.Such a feat sjhould be reserved for a future 49ers-Raiders Super Bowl,lapi...

Happy birthday to Kaneta Kimotsuki(who turns 74),Midori Katou(who turns 70),and Yoshiko Akiyama(who turns 44)...

It seems that WM Converter can't convert some Real Video files(including many newer YouTube video recordings)that I'd really like to be able to view on any of my 3 ZEN's.Maybe a new version of this freeware program is available at CNet's Download.com.Alternatively,I could test the new Real Converter feature that is included in Real Player SP...

Don't even get me started on today's week 5 action in the NFL...

Happy birthday to Hirohiko Kakegawa(who turns 45),Daisuke Sakaguchi(who turns 36),and Tomokazu Sugita(who turns 29)...

Just because my company is a corporate sponsor of the team giving Ron Mexico a second chance in the NFL,it doesn't mean it's OK for extremist animal-rights activists to call for en masse boycotts of team sponsors just because of 'guilt by association'.I don't condone any type of animal cruelty,and I still think the 'Sack Vick,the Philadelphia Eagles,and their sponsors' campaign is going way too far.I don't want to see any animal-rights protesters in front of any local Rite Aids anytime soon.On the flip side,at least Poopsi is also an Eagles sponsor...

Happy 50th birthday to Chika Sakamoto...

As they both sang alongside and composed songs sung by Megumi Hayashibara(and all three simultanously recorded for the same record label at one point),has anyone wondered what it would be like if Masami Okui and Ritsuko Okazaki either sang a duet together or collaborated in some form when the latter was still around?I know the latter wasn't known for heavier music,but Makkun has recorded her fair share of soft songs...

Am I the only one inclined not to root for either team tomorrow?Either way,it's a bad matchup for NorCal amefuto fans...

Hopefully,if I'm able to land that Archos 5 at Circuit City's liquidation,hopefully it'll be compatible with Windows XP which I still use...

Happy birthday to both Noboyuki Furuta(who turns 55)and Chieko Atarashi(who turns 41)...

Well,Eyeshield 21 has just completed its animated run,which means that one of Kappei's bigger projects has just wound down.At least Da Capo II's second season is set to begin soon,with all voice cast members returning...

Well,unless UCLA runs the table,my 2008 March Madness bracket is a total bust...

At the rate the dying battery is going,I may need to get a new cell phone soon,and the only thing I really do on it is net-surf on the go...

Happy 45th birthday to Chieko Honda...

Hana to Yume 839 and 840 both have a one-shot or two a piece,but 841 debuts Kazuko Furumiya's Heart no Kuni de Tea Party...

Am I the only one comparing Super Bowl XLII to a busted moon shot?

Happy 35th birthday to Yuki Masuda...

Well,since ASF has only gotten to episode 9,the versions of episodes 10-12 that I've downloaded were from the more-established Shinsen group;and besides the difference in fonts used,Shinsen also translates the opening episode credits(though not the end ones).I've only converted the ASF-subbed episodes for my little ZEN,but am watching both the ASF and Shinsen episodes on my big ZEN...

Well,the Foxboro Undefeateds have dodged 2 cinderella challengers,but can they dodge a third 2 weeks from now?

Happy birthday to both Sakiko Tamagawa(who turns 46)and Marina Inoue(who turns 23)...

...and happy 27th birthday to Shizuka Itou,the only seiyuu born on December 5th;and please don't tell me this statement is inaccurate,onegai?Because the chances of Kappei-sama being married to anyone born on this date(josei_seiyuu or not)are likely lower than the non-existant chances of the St. Louis Lambs and New York Valueless Jets squaring off in Super Bowl XLII,lapi...

Well,the flash based ZEN will soon come in a 32 GB model,the largest flash-based player in its class.Whether I decide on that or the 60 GB version of what I use as a spare depends on the fansubbers ever finish the series I'm currently following.Of ones that I haven't tried yet,the only series worth trying that is currently listed at Animesuki is Rizerumain.Don't know why Super Robot Wars TV isn't listed,as far as I know only the OVA is licensed...
