We had an earthquake, but the only casualty was productivity, and the only consequence boredom.

Also, a short review of Gunbuster 2. To summarize: Stupendous. A++ would watch again.

It’s hot. Avatar and arrogance errata, followed by tabletop role-playing games I’d like to play, but maddeningly, can’t.

In this episode I pontificate about the Nickelodeon TV program Avatar: The Last Airbender. Oh, do I pontificate. I’m a pontificator. It’s what I do.

But not for long. Just a hair over two minutes. Surely you can spare two minutes.

In which I discuss the different kinds of enthusiasm, or, “Why Princess Tutu is Awesome, But You Didn’t Hear It From Me.”

Today’s episode is on the subject of singularities, and in it I disclose a number of humiliating details about my history as a fan, yet still manage to sound ineffably superior and holier-than-thou. Amazing! Stupendous!

We’ll see.

Dear god, what hath man wrought? I have been intending to respond to various points made at various points by the imitable hosts of the Ninja Consultants Podcast, until finally it became clear that to do so, and to remain a peer, I would need to found a show of my own.

After many abortive attempts, I have something that while not exactly interesting or even, strictly speaking, good, is not embarrassing.

In this short monologue I discuss the problem of nerd obsession, and why it’s good to Get Out and Do Stuff from time to time. I know, I am breaking ground. It’s just what I have to do.

This may be the only episode of Hijinks Ensue, but just in case, I am setting up the infrastructure for further episodes. Because it’s fun.
