I’ve come to realize that I don’t really watch all that much during the week, and can only really be bothered on the weekends. That’s alright surely. Anyway, some different shows from last week while I continue to fall further behind on what everyone is really watching.

After last week, I was always going to watch more this time around. However, I may actually have a bit less to say than I did last week. Blame Norman Cook for it if you want.

Rafael Marquez sent off in another 2-0 defeat for Mexico against the United States. Even with how much the world has changed in the last year, some things never change.

This week's recap is brought to you by Form 1040, a document so powerful it destroys millions of lives annually

The second week of the year 2009 in my anime viewing will probably not be remembered over the long haul. There was a sign of recovery in one show I slagged off last week, while another’s animation budget plummeted like the value of an Icelandic bank.
