I wrote a quick post on velvet_crack this afternoon having found unlinked character portraits on the official Velvet Under World site.

And more from my blog:

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Probably the only G.I. Joe review that includes bacon. Also spoilers.

Paris Coffee

I was taken to a nice coffee place in Shibuya the other day. Photographs of scones included.

Hidden Eights

Most countries have organisations that declare this and that day to be "National X Day" and Japan is no exception. However, there's a lot of wordplay and numberplay in choosing the dates and this post tries to make sense of it using August 8th as an example.
