I started cleaning the garage the other night. I’ve always been a bit of a pack rat, and though I have a theory or two on the reasons for that, they don’t really merit mention here. What does bear attention is that I have so much crap that if actual rats were to literally nest in it, serendipity alone would lead to their discovery.
On the plus side, I’ve finally started to think of this crap as such, and have begun throwing out trash. Tonight I spent a while rummaging through a rather large box populated mostly by old telephone bills. This would have been useful at tax time, except that they were all for a cell phone I haven’t had for four or five years, not for a land line. Those I threw away years ago, naturally.
But I’m making progress, even if it doesn’t show. I’m still in the stage of cleaning in which every thing I does looks worse, but is necessary. I’m really looking forward to being finished.
On a lighter note, I’ve rediscovered Sgt. Keroro/Keroro Gunsou. I found a few episodes on my hard drive, and a few more online. While I was looking for the ones online though, I discovered it had been licensed in November. The bad news is that the DVD release dates aren’t announced yet, but the good news is that the licensing company was ADV. I’m in the minority of anime fans in that I prefer a well-done dub to a sub whenever possible. I’ll take subs if the dub is bad or non-existent, and if TokyoPop, 4Kids, or any number of other outfits had picked up Keroro Gunsou I would be supremely disappointed, but I think ADV is one of the best two chances the good sergeant has at a respectful translation, the other being Geneon. Of course, I think ADV did Super Milk Chan, now that I think of it. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
