I think somebody from Namco should talk to Freezepop about the soundtrack for Katamari Damacy 2.
the Internet has everything
I think this is quite possibly proof of this fact. As well as being one of the more amazing things I've found on the web in the last few months.
Proper English
This tsunami disaster has shown once again that journalists don't understand the usage of the word “enormity”. I doubt that they are deliberately invoking pathetic fallacy. The tsunami was a terrible tragedy, but I don't see the need to ascribe it to malice on the part of nature.
What happened to this decade?
Now that we're in 2005, I have noticed something strange. I have almost no recollection of the first half of this decade. What I can “remember” is mostly what I know happened, rather than any real remembering. The things I can actually remember are few and far between, viz. 9/11…
