Lain is blowing my mind…

Okay, I’m up to episode six, and damnit, I am trying to study so hard, but this series is something bloody else. It is what Anime should be — fewer people screaming at each other and more people contemplating the god of the internet Wired.

American Psycho

I always write my reviews for things long after I’ve read, listened to or watched them. Which is always a shame, because I think something is lost, all those gritty details that let me shell shocked at the time slipping through my fingers. But I want to start writing reviews for the books I’ve read [...]
