Thanks to Cousin Andy for sharing family photos with the rest of us ^_^

Mr. Kallisti and I had already developed an affection for Jonathan Ross after watching his highly affectionate series from the 80's on cult film The Incredibly Strange Film Show that included in depths on John Waters and Russ Meyer among others.

Recently we ran across his Japanorama series. News to us, don't know how familiar non-brits are with this series, we've been spellbound all week with his presentation and enthusiasm for the subject, including eighteen episodes spanning three seasons over six years. Beneath his dapper English exterior, and charming lisp, he is a self proclained Otaku, and his enthusiasm for all things Japanese, especially robots, is contagious.

"JAPANOWAMA! LOOK! I'm widing an electwic panda!!!"

This almost makes up for the new Doctor being so wet behind the ears. :p

He'd better be awesome.

As we celebrated the almost inauguration of our super cool president, I remembered to light a little candle to Edgar. When I suddenly realized it was his 200th birthday. Looks like someone else noticed too.

Edgar Allen Poe
January 19, 1809 - October 7, 1849

Hugs and Dark and Sparkly kisses to my Sepulchritudinous co-horts, who have been stabbing birthday cakes in Edgar's name for many these long gloomy years. Especially Bat, who started when she was like, eight.
