Has anyone ever heard of this? I just stumbled onto it and it looks like a pretty cool service. You can borrow an anime title (they ship it to you.) for 4.00 and you get to keep it for a week before you mail it back in a prepaid envelope. Has anyone ever used this place before?
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

no, but it sounds cool
--To Write Love on Her Arms

"That time and absence proves - Rather helps than hurts to love."

"Feelings, emotions, they are good, but they cannot be Love's foundation. When of Love, these things last. When of romance, these things end."

"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give -- which is everything."

I've used netflix before. It's $20.00 a month and you can rent as much as you want with no due dates, they send you the next disc when you return one. The problem is that they mail DVD's in evelopes, so they are frequently damaged. One time I got a DVD that was broken in half. I don't know how animeforest works, but be wary of sinking too much money into it and getting burned when the DVD doesn't work.

Hmm, I really should try renting ... but I'm such a chronic collector that the idea of giving it back doesn't sit well. ;)
