Well, alright. It's not like I haven't found a shiteload of awful dreadful crap wail upon and drag through the amok. There's been more than enough to fill a million or three bloogs worth of belaboring the obvious. I haven't lost my touch. It should be pointed out, for example, that HELL is STILL Under New Management, I guess, but not the management that was previously in charge there....the manager, which I hope is the same manager as before, now calls his blooog My Uselass Ramblings. Very apropos, ne? Also, my ol' pal Sander is STILL Searching for Vampire Girl. So somethings are still fairly semi-normal. He still hasn't found:




I'm not quite sure why. ((Oh yes I am....)). But the truth is somewhat more elusive than the usual laziness and vicious nonchalance with which I approach this bloog concept. Lately, or, over the descending series of months, I've been finding some very good bloogs about which I can say nice things....bloogs that I can praise without a knod and a wink.

It's almost sad to think of it. And just as hard to accept. Evil, after all, requires less energy in the long run than happiness, since evil plays upon entropy and happiness requires a continual uphill climb. And since my bloog concept fairly requires me to skew evil, it is quite odd that there have been less blasts of evil from me. Outside of the usual time, and laziness issues....I haven't been as compelled to go evil because the bloogs I've been reading lately are all rather good. And rather than write about how good they are, I simply read them, and move on.

The common thread is that they are all Anime Blogs. And very good and interesting ones at that. It started last December with a blog, Fourteenth Planet, by a U.W. Madison co-ed. She has very cool stuff on it...good writing, great screenshots. So that one, and Anime on My Mind, got me going on Anime Blogs.

Those, along with current favourites: Die! Fanboys; RIUVA, Research Institute for Unicultural Visual Arts; Heisei Democracy with its soon to be redesigned layout; zero thoughts; Lolitron, ((how could I NOT like that, ne?)) with it's remarkable figure image board; and Onii-chan no Ecchi, which posts the most tremendous and glorious filth you'd ever wish to see, view, and read about.

You see the dilemma I've been faced with. How can I engage in my usual nasty and evil jackassery when faced with all that good stuff? After all, not only do I have no use for ordinary humans, I also find the less than ordinary even MORE insufferable. Perhaps I've come to terms with the bloog concept....or....perhaps I've more likely come to terms with the bloog concept as it applies to anime and manga. When dealing with anime and manga and modern visual culture, bloogs become less dull, less tedious, and often interesting and remarkable. They are far and away more affable and readable and meaningful than all those political bloogs that tout and toot about whatever comes out of Condoleeza Rice's asshole every day. They are less likely to inspire my venom, and thus my poison typewriter, since after all, I am NOT doing this bloog on a computer, despite all evidence to the contrary, I am typing this blog on an ADLER J-5 manual typewriter((photo not available at press time))..... ((anyway, it's the worthless hideous people that concoct psuedo-blogs like Free Thong Gallery that are more likely to provoke me)). They are less like to provoke me than usual vapid tedious shite you find out there like Good Evening, where GLENN is always the winner; or Stayin' Alive, which might actually have some virtue buried in it somewhere, but I'd rather suck a whole ripe tomato up my asshole w/o squishing it than try to find it. Then again, I take back what said about political bloogs, since I just found one, not in my bible, that amuses me...at least for few descending series of moments.

And even those moments conspire against me, since I clicked the infamous Next Blog> link hoping to find some paltry, insipic, college boy or un-readable teenage girl poetry bloog to lambaste and instead I come across a very cool looking bloog, El Diario del Bicho Azul, about Chilean Comic Book Superheros. Then I come across Azul's American counterpart, David Campbell, who's going to review his comic book collection whether you like it or not. And it's got interesting cool stuff. So I can't seem to win. I can't even find bloogs that are worth killing anymore! Alright, I'm begging the question. Seek and ye shall find.....I know I know!

But....instead of seeking those easy prey and roasting them until the blood shoots out their left nostril or nodule, I hunker down and read the lastest Kono Sono. Instead of hate, I try and figure out the meaning of:
