Neon Genesis Evangelion

Neon Genesis Evangelion is a 26 episode anime series totalling 650 minutes. Though created back in 1995, the anime takes place in future years (2010 and beyond, with flashbacks to years important to the anime such as 2000). It follows the government agency NERV as they try to protect the human race from an apocalyptic fate due to creatures called Angels. In order to combat these creatures, NERV uses a select group of children to pilot giant robots called Evangelion (or Evas). These children and their support team are the main characters followed by the anime.

Taco Lasagne

Abstract
This is a recipe I modded based on one I saw on Parris' Facebook. It's a vegetarian recipe and easy to make (I've been making it in my Marine Drive kitchen ;D). Depending on how you cut it and how much you eat, it can make between 5-12 servings.

168 Hours

We only have 168 hours of life each week. 168 hours. That's it. In planning for next year, I decided to chart out how my time is going to be spent in a typical week. And it's looking much more different now that bussing is no longer part of the equation... :)

Cascadia

So I was hoping to go back and read Cascadia, one of my favourite webcomics ever, created by Vancouver artist Clio Chiang, only to discover that not only is the webcomic no longer "on hiatus", but it has been completely removed from the internet. *is depressed*

And it was so good too :( I've been waiting years hoping that eventually it would be put back in production :(

Megatokyo

Megatokyo is a webcomic I've been following for years. It follows two American video gamers/otaku as they somehow find themselves stranded in Japan. (For first time readers, the first comic can be found here; there used to be a link to the first comic on the site, but I think they removed it (why, I know not)...).
