| 5:45pm | Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 116 | | | | Guardian Of The Iron Wall This episode continues in the style of the previous one.

| 7:35pm | Kuniko Isn’t Funny | | | | As much as I’m enjoying the slow unfold of details in Shangri-la, the attempts at humor bug me way more than its issues in plot and pacing.

| 9:41am | Cute hacker is cute | | | | Today I want to talk about how much I admire Karin. I have always wanted a big round table that would surround me with displays and that I can do all my work on. Also, those hairclips are the awesomest things in the world. Ahh some people can be so lucky. Although I don’t say it often, I always... | | |
