I picked up the first DVD of Desert Punk last Friday. Their main website is down for some reason. Probably because they don’t have me as a sysadmin.
But that’s beside the point. Desert Punk was funny, and had tons of great lines. I watched the first episode and was hooked. It made me glad I picked up the collector’s edition (it was only $5 more). I would recommend this to anyone after Saiyuki. If you haven’t watched Saiyuki you have no business watching any other anime until you do. But after that, check out Desert Punk. And get in to Fullmetal Alchemist as well, it’s got an awesome story.
I finished the book I was reading: The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse. I liked it. It certainly wasn’t the funniest book I’ve ever read, but it was quite entertaining, and a very fun read. The jokes weren’t clever enough to make me laugh out loud, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t good. Like I mentioned before, don’t expect it to be a Douglas Adams clone and you’ll enjoy it. I especially enjoyed the Jack-in-the-box’s religious views of the universe. So go pick it up if you run out of things to read. It’s worth it.
