Sunday Points of Interest --Viz editor Pancha Diaz shares thoughts on Ooku, after it won the Tiptree Award. --A site with neat Sailor Moon fanart! [Yes, I am still on my Sailor Moon kick. Expect a post on Season R in the near future.] --Legally Blonde and How It is Awesome --30 Rock Meta! Which explains some of the complicated feelings I also have toward 30 Rock. (The conclusion being....I love Liz Lemon! Most of the time.) --Dear Manga, You are Broken. I'm not sure if I agree with *everything* here (for example, aren't manga prices in the U.S. similar to those in Japan? There is only so much that a publisher can do, although I agree that prices can be expensive. I am very grateful that the place I live has a pretty healthy used-book market that includes manga. At any rate, it is a pretty inclusive summary of issues in the world of manga publishing, whether you are an outsider to the fandom or not. I just made it through the first disc of Spice & Wolf from Netflix, which contains episodes 1-7. I didn't expect to like this series because I was afraid it would be a bit moe. However, it is so not. I love it so much! A merchant and a wolf-god of the harvest travel together in a European-ish world. It is about economics and Autumn and what it means for people to lose faith. Also, apples. I love the ending sequence. The lyrics are pretty non-sensical, but it makes me want to sing along: I want to dance with the peanut butterflies!

30 Rock So I was able to borrow the first two seasons of 30 Rock from my sister, and they've been okay. I would like to BE Tina Fey. Alec Baldwin is surprisingly hilarious, and I kind of like the sexual tension between him and Lemon all season. Also.....WTF Tracy Morgan is just like Tracy Jordan in real life! From Wikipedia: In 1996, he was diagnosed with diabetes, but refused to take medication or change his diet. After running a 104-degrees fever on the set of 30 Rock, Morgan decided to finally comply with his doctor's orders. He is now very cautious when it comes to the condition. What I like probably most of all are all of the Star Wars references - seriously, there must be at least one every other episode! Favorite reference/line of Season One: "I will cut you like a tauntaun." Overall, I like it enough to watch all of it, but I like How I Met Your Mother more.
