Wall•E

Just saw this yesterday! An amazing film with hardly any dialogue! (The main characters are like Pokemon, and can only say their names). A must see, I highly recommend.

Update!! Oh man he's gangsta!

PC Needs Ani-Pock Updates!

She's been kidnapped and sent off to Mormon camp this week! (Okay fine, she's having a blast), bu she won't have internet for the whole time!

So let's fill up her inbox with Ani-Updates™ . Basically, our goal is to give her a double digit unread mail count (or even three digits? muahaha) about random Ani-Pock happenings.

PC's email address:

punkchick @ Ani-Pock.net

gogogogo! And if you need your own @ani-pock.net email, drop me an email at pocky @ Ani-Pock.net.

;-; Ogi ish leaving for a month

Well.......My parents are banning me off the computer for a month (june 24-july24) because I'm going to summer school (stupid summer school), I failed a few of my classes ;-; and personally I think its stupid consitering the amount of credits I have to get by graduation (2011) I have to get either 48 or 46, sucks doesn't it. Oh well.
I might be able to sneak on every now and then, but I might not..........so...Good bye for now!

Omg, I wish my work place was this exciting around closing time!!

SAVE THE DOTS (with a logical scientific backing)

We have encounted a dire problem; people are continually using dots in a series of pauses/awkward silences, and we cannot abide this problem any longer, because we only get so many dots per month, and since we are only halfway through June, we must conserve our dots, lest we go without! Use of question marks and exclamation points (or just lack of grammar is fine), but you must not use the dots as often as we have been, or else bad things will happen! What, may you ask? Believe it or not, the overusage of dots actually contributes to the greenhouse effect by sending horrible gases into the air; through the period key! Do note that global warming was not an issue until most every person in the world had a computer; they couldn't use the period key, so there was no issue with the horrible funk that periods unleash, but with us using periods more and more as dots and in our emoticons, the icecaps are now melting because of your dot overusage! So ask yourself, do you really want to see this cute polar bear die just for your dot dot dot? (Pick the polar bear, please!)

Big Bird: Behind the Beak

Here is an interview with the actor that acts and voices for Big Bird on Sesame Street.

A Confession by Kip

There is a radio station at work that plays Yael Niam's "New Soul" at least twice a day. Today someone even called in and requested it.
Whenever I hear it I can't help but think of Ani-Pock, and it just makes my normally ten hour workday plus two hour round trip commute to home feel so long away...

When I hear it, I think about my A-P friends, the anime store I will one day open with Pocky in California (or Michigan!), and my copies of Time Detective Flint on my shelf at home.

New Soul: The official anthem of Pockyworld.

Pocky Update! Hear the song nowww:

And download the Mp3 here! (right click, save as)

REPOST: Spelling Bee Mispronunciation

Okay, I reuploaded the video from YouTube now for those of you who couldn't see it.
It's too bad, Sameer, shown in the video, won the spelling bee actually, but there aren't any montage videos of his win and interview after the Bee, like the AP News one before that didn't load.

LOL!

It isn't always what it sounds like. Here's a clip of this year's Scripps Spelling Bee champ asking about one of his words: "Can you repeat that?"
