Back from the Western Isles

Needed that... almost two weeks in Hawaii. Notes:

  • Girlfriend is doing fine.
  • Maoyuu bogged down a little, but is still pretty decent.
  • Problem Children was pretty good, but suffered from being as short as it was. An intro arc, Asuka's character arc, and then... that's it? Surely not. It's okay to keep your powder dry, but there comes a point where you ought to fire it. We have a pretty good idea about Asuka's motivations and reactions, and some about Kasukabe, but Izayoi is kind of... we know next to nothing about him, save that he's apparently invincible and invulnerable. You know, that's not good for maintaining dramatic tension, guys - even Superman has to worry about kryptonite.
  • Senyu is a good way to spend two minutes a week. Most of the other shorts were forgettable.
  • Polar Bear Cafe ends this week, proving that there is in fact no god.
  • Spent the first weekend in Oahu helping an old friend run a booth at Kawaiikon. I'll do a separate post on that later - was interesting, definitely different from the normal con experience.
  • Who would have thought that the best luau show in Hawaii was the one that was put on by the guys at Brigham Young? If you get the chance, GO.

1 Regretfuly, I felt that later PBC was declining. I restarted it for stress-free watch, but it could not maintain its momentum and petered out around ep.42.
