Disclaimer: For those wondering, no I don't usually write posts during the 9-5 period. I just schedule them as such. Some I'll edit on a break or something, but none are really written during a work period.

So, I checked out I Am Santa Claus, this documentary described as the answer to the question "whose lap is my child sitting on?" It follows five men who look like Santa over the course of a year leading up to Christmas. Each of these men come from different walks of life. One is a older homosexual gentleman (and apparently pretty well-known among the bear community in Texas), one is a pastor outside of his Santa-ing, one is Mick Foley, WWE Hall of Famer (see, his appearance on RAW this week wasn't just for the heck of it). More after the jump.

Noelle Foley: the wit of her dad, but so much easier on the eyes.

Today's anime review came as a surprise to me. I tend to not really go for "slice of life" anime, since they seem to be mostly the same. That and the whole School Days/"Nice Boat" debacle kind of ruined the genre for me for a while. However, after going through series such as Welcome to the NHK, I decided to give the genre another try. I kept hearing things about Haruhi online and from other reviewers, so I decided to check it out. The series is to the "slice of life" genre what Gurren Lagann is to the mecha genre. Tropes are thrown out at a breakneck pace, trampled on, manipulated, and twisted to serve a purpose. Both series are irreverent in their approach to their respective genres and both take viewers on an emotionally-charged ride full of high ups and pretty depressing downs. Plus, memes out the you-know-what.

Kind of a spoiler, but not really.

So, last night, Vince McMahon sat down with Stone Cold (Stone Cold! Stone Cold!) Steve Austin on the WWE Network for a special edition of Stone Cold's podcast. Among the topics brought up were Vince's thoughts on CM Punk's recent podcast with Colt Cabana. Sure, we can talk about how Vince McMahon was critical of the locker room and its apparent fear to be bold, or his thoughts on Cesaro not connecting. However, I want to focus on his comments about Punk. Why? Not because I'm a "Punk Super Mark," but because of the potential impact they could have.

Well, wow. Talk about "some guys have all the luck," eh?

Curses to you, Matt and Trey. Every time I think I'm done with South Park, that it's finally jumped the shark to me, that I'm "too old" for you, that it's complete dreck...you surprise me.


Make me cringe at some of the straight-up "wow!" moments, but surprise me, in a good way.

I'm a pretty big wrestling fan. I know it's scripted. So are Love and Hip-Hop and New Girl.

Now that that's out the way, I just read that WWE is going to have Grumpy Cat "host" RAW next week.

About eight years ago, on the first full week of my Freshman Year at UMD (that's 2006, for those keeping score), I logged onto Facebook and started friending people, based on similar interests. One of these people was a young woman by the name of Raquel. Our first conversation was about Labor Day plans and PS2 games, so it was (obviously) nothing too serious. As time went on, we both developed feelings for each other, as these things sometimes go. She and I would have late-night chats about nothing, but it would be the highlight of my day. Sadly, as these things sometimes go, whenever we tried to act upon them (read: got the courage to say "hey, I think you're cute. Maybe we should go out"), we both were with other people.
