I just won $100.00 from Blingo! Blingo is a search engine that gives out prizes just for doing searches. The search results aren't as good as Google, and this is the first win I've had in over a year using it. But it's worth using every now and then just to see if you might win something. Plus every day you search gets you 1 entry into a drawing to win 100,000 a week for a year. Another nice feature of Blingo is if you refer someone and they win one of the instant win prizes by searching then you win the same prize. That means Brent from OLS also won $100.00

The movie will be English dubbed and like previous Fathom events feature a behind the scenes segment after the movie. Advanced tickets go on sale August 21.
"Eureka Seven - good night, sleep tight, young lovers" is a re-imaging of the series and not a continuation. Synopsis from the NCM website:
For almost half a century, mankind has battled a mysterious organism from space called “EIZO.” In 2054, there is a young soldier on board the fighter aircraft commanded by Holland, GEKKO, of the renegade group GEKKOSTATE, who is battling EIZO. The young soldier’s name is Renton. He boards Nirvash and heads for the battlefield. He has only one dream: to rescue his childhood friend, Eureka, who was kidnapped eight years ago and return to his hometown. Fate, however, brings tribulations to test the young love between Renton and Eureka --mission and emotion, truth and lie, past and future, life and death, reality and dream and even Holland – the entire world stand in the way of the two as the final battle with EIZO approaches…

Was checking out the new product feed for J-List and came across this somewhat disturbing USB mascot. You simply plug Rocky into your USB port on your PC or laptop, and he will start doing crunches until you unplug him. That's not whats disturbing about it though. I mean does it look to anyone else like your plugging his dolphin into the USB port? And Rocky isn't the only character you can purchase.
In commemoration of Attack of the Show's 1000th episode, song writer Parry Gripp recorded a new song featuring AOTS hosts Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn. The name of this song is "The Girl at the Video Game Store", with Oliva starring as the "Girl" and Kevin on drums. The song is actually quite good.
Congratulations, AOTS on your 1000th show. I hope you have 1000 more.
Lyrics
Down at the mall. Is the one who's got it all The answer to my prayers Just two doors down from Sears
I was surprised Because they mostly higher guys She's the girl She's the girl at the video game store
She's smart and she's sweet And she knows all of the cheats Her thumbs are lightening fast At Tekken she'll beat your ass
She was nice to me She helped me buy my Wii She's the girl She's the girl at the video game store
I was alone playing by myself Oh and I was alone There must be something else
Then she gave me her code Now she's on my friend list Oh my heart I hope this joy is never endin'
I was alone Playing by myself Oh and I was alone There must be something else
Then she gave me her code Now she's on my friend list Oh my heart I hope this joy is never endin'
(Olivia - You should really get the membership card. It's only $15. And, it comes with a free magazine subscription)
(Guy - I totally want that.)
She was nice to me She's my Final Fantasy She's the girl She's the girl at the video game store store She's the girl at the video game store store store She's the girl at the video game store
Picked up some new manga. Bought the Fruits Basket Ultimate Edition Vol 2, which is a hard back and contains volumes 3 and 4 of the manga. Also bought Rosario+Vampire volume 4, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya volume 3, Negima!? Neo volume 2, and the final issue of Shojo Beat
Got Prince of Persia for the Xbox 360 for only 14.98. The Monroe, LA Target had it on clearance. Played it up to the Concubine boss, and it's a pretty good game so far. Never played any of the other Prince of Persia games, so don't really know how it compares.
