Super "What Are You Thinking?" ReBirth

[Police Girl]

Oh, pah.

I guess it'll be a FMA Brotherhood type deal if they ever get around to giving it another go.

[Phi]

Funny how Brotherhood aired years ago, and it's still the top rated anime on MAL.

It's certainly damn good, but wow.

[Sakura Leic]

It's kind of weird that the local burger place has buffalo and ostrich burgers and yet I haven't tried them.

[Phi]

Ostrich burgers? That doesn't sound very appetizing.

[Sakura Leic]

Ostrich burgers? That doesn't sound very appetizing.

And it seems to be available at limited times.


1/4 lb. of lean ground ostrich, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and mayonnaise on a honeyoat wheat bun. (when available)

*healthy choice

Bison I have tried, but not ostrich. Bison tastes pretty good and is leaner than ground beef.

[Sakura Leic]

Hmm I think I'll watch Kill la Kill someday, but maybe I should finish Revolutionary Girl Utena first.

[Quickman]

I'd imagine that ostrich tastes like emu, which I've tried.  It's been a long time since I've had those, though, so I don't quite remember what they tasted like.

[Phi]

Starting to get a headache for some reason. I'm gonna lay down for a bit.

[Quickman]

Going skiing tomorrow, wish me luck!

[Sakura Leic]

I really do like this bathrobe, it's very comfy and warm.

[Quickman]

Thankfully, I'll be with other beginners, so I won't be alone on the bunny trails.  Misery loves company when they fall face-first into ice-crusted snow-pack after hitting a rut and coming to a very sudden and unexpected stop mid-way down the slope.

Honestly I think snowboarding looks easier.

[Quickman]

It is... and it isn't.  It's easier in that you have only one board to control and you tend to learn how to control it quickly, but it PUNISHES you the entire time.  Even competent snowboarders I see zooming down and SPLAT!  Faceplant right into the ice!

Skis are tricker in that you have two boards to control, but easier as it doesn't punish you so severely.  You can still move your feet. 

On a snowboard?  Both feet are locked in place.  Be ready to learn how to board quickly, and in the most painful way imaginable.

My nephew has been boarding for a year and he's still falling.  My half-brother prefers skis over boards as they don't punish him as much.

Ah yeah that's a good point, I can't imagine the horror of face planting and not being able to get up.

[Quickman]

Oh, you can get back up easily enough.  I've fallen plenty of times.  Just get up and keep going.  After a while, though, you do start to get sore.

Also, the boots.  Snowboard boots allow for a bit more ankle movement.  Ski boots?  Not so much.  Though, wearing them is like wearing rollerblades without the wheels--big, clunky things.  Moving on skis without poles is the same as blading or skating.  Exact same movement.

[Sakura Leic]

What the heck...why does Ping Pong Circulate have instructions for Square Dancing?

[Pyro]

Going skiing tomorrow, wish me luck!

Pennsylvania has mountains?!

Then again, I live in Alberta where we have the Rockies.

[Phi]

Ahh, that was a refreshing nap!

I'm never going to attempt rollerblading, due to my family's curse involving them.

So, by extension, I may never try skiing.

Chinese New Year FEVER!!

Chinese New Year FEVER!!

Maybe you caught it from PB?

[Phi]

I don't care for The Simpsons, but

They're referencing Studio Ghibli films! Feeeeels!

The title of this video pisses me off, though, as it's far too broad. They simply label the skit as "anime", when anime is merely a cultural media form, and not what they're actually referencing here (Ghibli).

Anyway, the parodies shown here are Spirited Away (HNNNNGHHGH), My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service and Howl's Moving Castle.

We have Appalachia.

[Sakura Leic]

Soon I can say goodbye to my carpet and the color of my wall this week.

Nah, it's on Jan 31, and the lead-up to that day is ALWAYS hectic. EVERY YEAR.
