MacMinis in unexpected places

More fodder for looking around town. The place isn't located here, but it's what it is that is most important.

It makes me hungry.

Comptiq has some interesting manga. I'm not sure what the site is saying. All I know is that they publish some manga. What else is there to say?

Voter fraud really only happens in the movies. Or does it!!!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skulls beats the xfiles to the punch and shows us that there are aliens. "I want to believe," but the movie was more than I could bear. Action was there, but the heart wasn't. The story was hodge-podge of things that 1950s america puked up. Aliens. Time travelers. And Espers!! Besides being xfiles was it also a Haruhism production?

CG just ruins things.

At the turn of the century, Napster was the place to get your mp3s. Then Apple invented the iTunes Music Store. Sayanora, Napster!

It's back though, and trying to wrestle the mp3 download business from Apple. Good luck, Napster!

Me and Marge from the Fish Tank spent the day looking for some eats.

It started with the need for some noodles. Obviously, with a post about ramen, that's what I wanted. There really ain't none in Bmore except for Mimoto. It doesn't open until 5:00 pm on a saturday, but we were hungry too much earlier.

So we get to Edo Mae Sushi in Owings Mills, because they had soba as well as udon. Marge loves it cold, and that's what we had. Plus a sunshine roll which was too much.

Then we get some coffee at the usual haunt. Yet, the coffee was too sweet (for Marge).

So we head back home, but she's locked out. We wander around a bit and end up at Edo Sushi for a snack: a beer, sashimi and unagi.

That's a lot of eating today. We're gonna look for that ramen later next week. And perhaps more cold soba.

And Thingol answered: 'What of your quest, and of your vow?'
But Beren said: 'It is fulfilled. Even now a Silmaril is in my hand.'
Then Thingol said: 'Show it to me!'
And Beren put forth his empty left hand, slowly opening its fingers; but it was empty. Then he held up his right arm; and from that hour he named himself Camlost, the Empty-handed.

Is it hip to call things prequels? I mean, please, The Silmarillion, a prequel. Yes, technically speaking, but wouldn't it be better thought of as the foundation of the history for The Lord of the Rings? You wouldn't call the US Civil War a prequel would you?
