A Potpourri Post

A question for LJ people: Can someone please direct me to the post that explains how to get rid of the little white image and pop-up preview of every text link that goes to a page outside of LiveJournal? I had rectified this on my computer before I wiped it, but now it's gone back, and it's pretty annoying.

A question for anime people: I love watching Rightstuf.com, and keeping an eye on their sales. Are there other websites on the Internet that I should be watching?

Look at some sweet Scott Pilgrim art! The characters are super hero-fied. If you haven't read Scott Pilgrim yet, you totally should. Dave, I'm looking at you.

[livejournal.com profile] heyfoureyes linked to this in her LJ. Forgotten Detroit, a website with pictures of abandoned buildings in Detroit.

I haven't had time to read the entirety of this entry, but it's titled "Female, Muslim, and Mutant: A Critique of Muslim Women in Comic Books – Part 1 of 2," and it sounds very interesting.


OMF, confrontation between Fai and Kurogane! I want to know Fai's tragic backstory! And I love the look on his face when he makes it clear that dying for someone else is totally different than himself happening to die in battle.

What's up with this copy of Syaoran? But if the eye is HIS, then maybe protagonist!Syaoran is actually the copy?!

OMG KAMUI!

Wahhh, it's totally cool that Kamui and Fuuma had their teams flipped! A universe where Kamui chose Teh Evil Side!

Sometimes I feel like Sakura is really trying hard, but then there are times like these, when Fai is all, "I'm glad she's asleep for this horrible world, it would be too much for her." O RLY? It just....makes me roll my eyes, I guess. I miss the old Sakura.

In conclusion....things are getting wacky, and I might need to begin figuring out another way to consume this manga, as the waiting list at the library is something like 20-40 people deep per volume, and there are only 3 copies of each volume.

Thank you! It didn't occur to me to check the FAQ.

Nobody ever reads the documentation. I'm a tech writer: I should know.

*snort* Word.

Kamui didn't choose the "Evil" side so much as that's just where he is. The groups aren't the good/bad sides like in X/1999, just separate.

The guys can be stiflingly protective of Sakura at times, but she does eventually say "ENOUGH OF THIS ALREADY!"

Pretty soon, actually.

Interesting! Also: Is this arc the one that takes place in the "Tokyo Revelations" OVA?

I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS DAY.

Yup, this is the Tokyo Revelations arc.

It's vol 17. Fai doesn't handle it well.
