I am starting to track and make note of those things which make me want to scream at the heavens for either it’s subject matter, tackiness, disturbing qualities, or anything which produces a general malaise.
In my searches on the net for fan art and other things, I’ve stumbled upon many, many, horrific images and some [...]
I’m still looking for the ultimate abode of Japanese treats in St Louis. My search has taken me to all of two international grocers in the area, one being J International Food and the other being Global Foods.

I was walking around Crestwood Plaza in St. Louis on Sunday and decided to check out Waldenbooks, which I know sells manga and wall scrolls. While looking through the wall scrolls for a Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children one, I turned to a fellow fan and asked him if he had seen any FFVII: Advent [...]
