007

Just saw the new Bond movie "Casino Royale" and it's not bad. Lots of plot twists and a new harder James Bond especially compared to pretty boy Pierce. The game was good, the tension was good, and the jumping was really good; qudos to the French for that.

Tokimeki Negi!

Two new and weird animes for the new season and you would never guess how weird or which ones without seeing them. First is Negima! that is a remake of Mahou Sensei Negima; already? The other is the anime adaptation of Konami's Tokimeki Memorial 3 dating sim game. BOAS has always been a fan of this franchise; but it seems that the main character is another Shiori style; I liked Hikari <3

What has to be one of the weirdest compilation albums released is Yoko Ishida singing some of the greatest anime songs; not all of which are hers. Tracks from Soukyuu no Fafner, Kuchibiki Unbalance, and Gundam are all done in a Euro-techno beat and sung beautifully by her songstress Yoko Ishida.

Zinedine Zidane

The shot heard all around the world was aimed straight at the chest of Materzzi in overtime of the World Cup final. Shortly thereafter, Zidane was given a red card and sent off the field in disgrace. But please don't think that football was ever that simple. Zidane's red card might have the final and defining moment of this World Cup but this tournament saw a plethora of red. From the early stages to Wayne Rooney and lastly Zidane this was an ugly competition. Despite that Zidane still has the admiration of many including this one and was awarded the Golden Ball as this year's World Cup MVP.
