6 Characters I Can Blame For the Common Cold
Ugh. Is there any worse feeling than trying to shake the last days of a cold? Probably, but for me right now, there definitely isn’t. I’ve been battling this bug for days now and I just want my nose to work properly again! Is that too much to ask?!
Help me, monster!
At any rate, as with all things that crop up in a given week, I’ve decided to turn my cold into a List of Six! So I scoured the world of pop culture to find six characters, good and bad, who revel in disease and infection. It’s not going to be pretty. You might want to have a box of tissues handy before joining me after the jump!
Tie Fighter: The Anime
What do you get when you combine Star Wars and anime? That was rhetorical–your petty words can’t even begin to describe the beauty of this classic, 80s anime-style short.
Its creator, Paul Johnson (OtaKing77077 on Youtube), created this beautiful animation over the course of four years.
I Told You I Was on a Dragonball Z Kick
Thankfully, the Internet is never short on awesome DBZ stuff! The above short video was made by Jordan Tseng and is all manner of awesome. I’ve said it before and I’ve said it again, if I had that kind of stop motion animation ability, I would…hopefully have an awesome job these days. Or at the very least, I could make some original content. That would be gnarly and cool!

Everything Wrong with Finding Nemo!
I’ve got a busy week in the day job, folks! Some of you may remember that I’m a mild-mannered newspaper reporter during the day, and this day kicks off an intense murder trial! That means I’ll be spending every day this week in a courtroom with little access to blogging. Fortunately, the Internet is every providing.
Here’s Everything Wrong with Finding Nemo, for some reason!
Silly Disney movie. So many things wrong. Thanks Cinema Sins!
My 6 Favorite Dragonball Z Characters
I have been on a real Dragonball Z kick recently. It owes a lot to the fact that I’m currently a master fighter in the new video game Dragonball Xenoverse! The game is a fast-paced, energy-blasting, butt-whooping battle game featuring not only a wealth of DBZ characters, but also my own original create-a-character! I love create-a-character modes in video games, especially unique games like Xenoverse.
The excitement of going Super Saiyan with my own original character is pretty awesome.
One of these things
Of course, playing a DBZ video game got me back into watching the DBZ cartoon, because I haven’t actually seen the whole thing. My brother got me into DBZ back in high school, and I started watching week days after school during the Cell Saga. Since then, I’ve gone back and watched all of the earlier episodes, but until this month, I had never seen a single episode of the show’s climactic Buu Saga! Consider that rectified!
To celebrate my utterly random re-interest in Dragonball Z, I decided to make this week’s List of Six about all of my favorite characters! And feel free to bask in the nostalgia and share some of your own in the comments!
