Today is Rachel’s birthday, so join me in wishing her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We’re going to celebrate tonight by eating lots of sushi! ^_^
Posted in Anime News

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
Thanks David! It’s good to be 31! And sushi makes 31 that much better ^^.
Happy birthday Rachel!
Wish I was having sushi tonight… guess, I’ve got to wait for my weekly lunch trip to the sushi bar though…
Happy birthday! The question is, can you eat 31 pieces of nigiri sushi? ^_^
Happy Birthday Rachel!
Have at it with the sushi…though you may want to hold off on the fugu until a later birthday (though, I guess that would be sashimi rather than sushi).
Cue the band…hit it!:

@Thanks Kidan!
@griever, no I didn’t manage 31 (I think it was more like 6) but it was still an awesome b-day dinner!
@Mochi, Thanks! You know, the restaurant I went to did serve fugu, but only by appointment. Who woulda thought someone knew how to prepare fugu here in STL?
BTW, I love the Beatles: Thanks!
Happy Birthday to my fav cousin!! Next time you are in town I will treat you to a sushi b-day dinner!
Much luv!
