Not a huge fan of Lindt, at least most of the stuff they sell where I live in Canada, but I would be willing to try that if I was in Japan.

Posted in: 'Dragon Ball' creator Akira Toriyama dies at 68 See in context

The passing of another legend. Dragon Ball was the first anime I ever saw as a kid. I didn't know what anime was then; I just thought that it was really cool. I eventually read the manga, and as an adult I still read it. I've also played a lot of the video games he designed characters for, Chrono Trigger being my most favorite.

RIP, Toriyama-Sensei.

I would love to try these drinks. I love sakura. It's too bad that the Starbucks in Canada doesn't get more creative and have a wider range of seasonal offerings. :/

Such a huge loss for the world. Not only as a talented artist but as an activist. The first time I heard Harry Belafonte was watching the movie Beetlejuice as a little kid. One of my most favorite movies of all time, with a great, fun soundtrack. RIP, Mr. Belafonte.
