Interviewer: What was the general mood at NERV Central Dogma before the JSSDF moved on the facility?

Professor Mihama: Relief but tense.

I: Tense?

PM: Everyone was so relieved ..... glad. The "war" was over. No more "angels". The enemy was gone. At the same time we were going to be, as they say ..... out of a job. Rumors were coming from all directions about disbanding NERV, keeping parts of it going, incorporating it into the armed forces/government ..... things like that. We had no ..... idea ..... our own military would come after us.

I: Plans for the future?

PM: I intended to stay with NERV in whatever form it would take after. If totally broken up I was going to try to take as many people with me to my familys' company.

I: Mihama Tech Industries?

PM: Yes. Too much talent at NERV I didn't want to see wasted.

I: What was your position at NERV at the time?

PM: I was adminsitrative head of the Maintenance/Aquisitions/Communications/Analysis Dept.

I: Anything to do with the MAGI system?

PM: No. What we were involved with was organisation/maintenance of all non MAGI systems/communications. Office network, LAN, satellite, data, admin, payroll, book keeping, inventory & the like. I was there partly because much of the related technology was supplied/designed by my familys' company & affiliates.

I: Any interaction with Ritsuko Akagi?

PM: Mostly as was needed on a professional basis. While our support was useful to her, the MAGI systems were worlds apart in configuration, makeup & purpose. My department had no access.

I met with her not only as much as my duties allowed, but also socially, which wasn't that much. She was a heavy workaholic so it was only her very rare breaks, lunch & required social functions I could catch her at.

I: Try to pick her brains?

PM: Tried ..... & that's about it. She was usually tight lipped & even more so toward the end.

I: Any inkling of contact after Third Impact?

PM: None. Considering what everyone experienced & the trial she would probably face, I don't think we'll ever see her again. Just as well .....

I: As for what you ..... we ..... went through, we'll get to that shortly.

PM: All right.

I: Any interaction with Gen. (then major) Katsuragi?

PM: Then, about as much as with Dr. Akagi. Now ..... lots. Of course I can only speak in general terms about our present working relationship.

I: Of course.

PM: She was ..... is ..... a lot more outgoing than Akagi ever was. She has to be considering she's taken over Gendo Ikaris' position.

I: About Ikari .....

PM: That bastard can stay in that hell/nirvana he wanted to put everyone else in! Less said of him the better ..... If he ever came back I hope they ..... sorry.

I: It's all right. I know exactly how you feel .....

PM: (wry chuckle) Yeah ...... I guess you would ..... I ..... I had a taste of Heaven! The most wonderful yet saddest, messed up experience I ..... I .....

I: It's OK. We've all been through it.

PM: I'm never going to forget ..... ever.

I; What is your present position at NERV?

PM: I'm now part of the joint team managing/studying the MAGI supercomputers & related technologies. I'm not at liberty to say much, but give the devils their due, the Akagis were nothing short of brilliant beyond belief! ..... I've said too much already.

I: The Eva pilots?

PM: Saw them mostly at a distance. Passing in the halls, things like that. Shinjis' the only Ikari I have any sympathy for ..... that father of his. We're only just beginning to decrypt his journals. From what I gather,he ..... probably had less regard for his son as he did for humanity in general .....

I: We should .....

PM: It's ..... OK ..... OK. I'm fine ..... I DO feel sorry for Shinji. I recently recieved an invitation to his & Asukas' wedding. From what little I've seen of them I can't think of a more unlikely pair.

I: About Ayanami .....

PM: From the info gathered she was in a situation WAY beyond her control. As much as I felt sorry for her, I still get the chills when I think about her. She was, after all, the catalyst for Third Impact. Damn ..... Gendo .....

I: Let's talk about your experience.

PM: Ye ee ssss?

I: Describe.

PM: As in .....

I: Starting with the initial assault.

PM: I was in the main admin offices when the attack hit. We just couldn't believe it! Our own military attacking us! It was only much later after everything ..... EVERY ONE! .... came apart ..... then back together. Well ..... some of us anyway.

All we knew was ..... as the Americans say ..... "all hell broke loose". They had orders to kill every one of us ..... wether we were armed of not! I now understand why. They were as much pawns in that sick game as we were. But then ..... it was total betrayal!

My fellow countrymen gunning us down ..... like diseased animals ..... mass murder! Most of us didn't have weapons. We were scientists ..... academics ..... technicians ..... paper pushers ..... we .....

I: Your actual transcendance/instrumentality .....

PM: bullets were hitting everywhere, I grabbed a letter opener ..... crawled under a table. My thoughts were a confused jumble. I thought of what little I could do with a letter opener against a heavily armed man. I prayed for it to stop ..... go away. I wanted to curl up in a ball, shut my eyes tight & wish it gone. I was ..... so ..... damned ..... scared. It wasn't like an Eva unit fighting it out some distance away. It was right there about to kill me! Me ......

I prayed & prayed for it to stop. ..............................

I: And .....

PM: I don't know how long it lasted. Seemed minutes & hours at the same time. It was then that ..... it did stop.

I: Go on ......

PM: The shooting subsided momentarily. I thought the slaughter was ending .....& it did. But not the way I or anyone else wanted.

What happened next was ..... TOTAL ..... BIZARRE ..... WEIRDNESS!

Ever hear a MAN scream when he's scared? When he's really frightened of something? When it's something totally out of control & he can't comprehend what it is let alone cope with at all?

Sounds just like a woman. Maybe a slightly lower pitch but just like a womans' scream. No manly type of yell ..... but an unnatural keening wail ..... smashing your eardrums to jagged shards! A rending tear into the soul. That's what men sound like under absolute terror.

Other sounds too. Laughter(?). Cries ..... of delight! The kind you hear little children make at Christmas & birthday parties. Squeals ..... singing ..... hysterical babbling. Some shooting ..... some .....

I: Are you all right? Can I get you anything?

PM: No ..... no ..... It's OK! ..... This water's fine.

I: If you can't go on, we can stop & pick up on this later.

PM: It's all right (gulp) ..... I'm OK. Let's ..... finish this .....

I: Very well .....

PM: Other sounds. People shouting ..... screaming things ..... things like names of loved ones & stuff like ..... "You're not her!", "NO!", "But you're dead!", "It can't be!" ..... "Stay away!". "Oh my God!" ..... "I love you!" (?) ..... that kind of thing.

I chanced a peek from under the table ..... her .....

I: Her?

PM: The Ayanami girl.

I: Yes ..... the Ayanami girl.

PM: She ..... just stood there ..... with that impassive, expressionless look she always had about her. No regard for the chaos all around. Like she couldn't tell the difference from everyday or the hell we were in the middle of at that moment.

I motioned for her to get under the table with me. I turned to see if anyone else was close when I realized she had been standing a couple feet off the floor! Floating! ..... hovering! .....

I: Oh yes .....

PM: I turned back quickly & ..... there he was .....

I: There who was?

PM: Mr. Tadakichi!

I: Mr. ..... Tadakichi?

PM: He was a dog I had as a child. A Great Pyranees. Mom & Dad got him for me when I was six. He was a constant companion. Went with me to America when I attended Pacific Tech. Died a year after I graduated. I cried for months after ..... I'll always miss him .....

I: But it wasn't .....

PM: No ..... he wasn't. It wasn't him.

I: But you .....

PM: I wasn't thinking straight. Between being scared & all the confusion ..... I completely forgot myself. I was just so ..... glad ..... to see him! I knew he was dead but I just wanted to hold onto him & hang on ..... couldn't help myself.

So I grabbed ahold of him tight & close. So ..... happy. Not for the longest time had I ever been so happy! Fear ..... noise ..... confusion. Death all around ..... Didn't matter. I was just so glad to have him back ..... wasn't thinking ..... at all. .............................then .....

I: Yes?

PM: I felt disembodied, yet feeling everything. The rush of the wind around ..... through me. Traveling at incredible speed .... upward. Upward to a vast shperical black mass of energy. I & thousands ..... millions of others. Swarming in .... around ..... through this mass & into the hands holding it, of a form of a colossal humanoid female entity.

I: Go on .....

PM: Once entering this entity I was surrounded on all sides. above & below, by ..... vast multitudes of ..... people ..... floating ..... swirling about me. Incredible speeds attained as we all swarmed about one another.

Yet, in spite of the chaos & noise. MIllions of voices laughing, singing ..... of ..... release. Happiness beyond measure. In spite of it ..... it was peaceful. Restful at the same time.

I didn't feel it in just me but in everyone else. I was not only me ..... but .....everybody! I knew everyone ..... & everyone ..... knew me. Every name, detail, thought ..... emotion of everyone ..... all ..... at ..... once! At the very same time!

At that instant we were all one person. One ..... single ..... thinking ..... breathing ..... individual.

It was then everything changed around me & I saw ..... them .....

I: Who?

PM: Two friends ..... as they were from long ago ..... high school. Yomi Mizuhara & ..... Osaka!

A wonderfully strange kid. Looked at everything
from angles no one else thought possible .....

I: Osaka?

PM: We all called her that as that's where she's from. Her real name was Ayumu Kasuga. A wonderfully strange kid. Looked at everything from angles no one else thought possible. We all thought the world of her. I ..... still do ..... all of them.

We kept in touch after graduation. Yomi became a nurse & dietician while Osaka became a teacher & later an author of childrens' books. The others were .....

I: It seems a lot of care giving & artistic types never returned.

PM: Never ..... re .....turnnnn .....

That DAMN ..... Ikari! Turned the whole f-----g universe upside down ..... & ..... & dumped it out! Killed billions! If not killed ..... what!? Trying to unify humanity into a single entity? What the HELL ..... was ..... he ..... thinking!? Doing everybody a big favor? My God! Where the hell does someone like that get off doing what he did! Where does anyone get off with something like that!? What kind of sick demons were rattling around in that bent skull!? Next evolutionary step? What the hell does that mean!?

We thought we were defending humanity. SAVING THE WOOOORLD! Fighting the big bad aliens ..... keeping them from wiping us all out.

And all this time ..... it was nothing more than a sick little game between a bunch of super rich would be "saviors" & a twisted mind. With us, the "angels" , & every one else in the middle as expendable playing peices. Ikaris' son included. His own son! I ..... I .....

I never thought it possible ..... that there could be such a creature ..... as a ..... a ..... a homicidal humanitarian!

I: If you want, we can .....

PM: NO! ..... No! ..... I'm finishing this .....

I: Yes but .....

PM: BUT ..... NOTHING! ..... but ..... I ..... I ..... I'm sorry .....

I: No ..... don't be.

PM: But I am! I've never been sorrier since that day. I ..... will ..... NEVER ..... ever .....be the same.

I: I doubt anyone will.

PM: I know there's a hell. I got hit with more than a look at Heaven, albeit a false one, so I KNOW there's a hell. As real as anything. And it's my dearest hope that Gendo Ikari, Ritsuko Akagi, Keele Lorenz ..... & the rest of that SEELE bunch BURN! What they did was beyond unforgivable!

I: Your friends, did they .....

PM: We were so happy to see one another. We were there ..... in high school ..... uniforms & all. I was 10 again! Walking the halls, my dog trotting with us. I expected Sakaki, Kagura, Tomo, & Kaorin to show up at any moment!

I: Other friends of yours?

PM: Yes ..... ones who came back ..... Thank God! On talking with them later, I learned they had similar experiences. Yomi & Osaka were trying to get us all back together! My guess is ..... one convinced the other ..... & they went looking for the rest of us.

I: So they .....

..... on either side of me ..... telling me how it could be like this forever .....

PM: They were on either side of me. Telling me how it could be like this forever. Reliving our good times when we were young & then some! It wouldn't have to end ..... just go on & on non-stop. Even getting around to stuff we didn't try 'cause we were having too much fun doing what we were doing already.

I wanted it ..... so much ..... but ......

Couldn't .....

I: Why?

PM: Didn't feel right. I wanted it ..... not right. It was ..... WAY ..... beyond wonderful ..... but ..... not right.

I: Right as in .....

PM: Total, flawless fun & happiness? With no effort or chance of unfulfillment? No possibility of failure, loss or price? No ..... challenge?

I remember our good times but we had struggles too. Our conflicts ..... bad times. Those were what made the good worth it. What good is doing your best when even your worst still makes you come off a winner?

I don't think I said it right .....

I: I think I get what you mean. So .....

PM: I had to leave. I had responsibilities. Even if in that dreamworld I was physically that little girl from long ago, mentally ..... I could "never go home again". I'm different now than what I was then or ten minutes ago.

Couldn't stay .....

..... really nothing there for me .....

I chose to come back.

I: How did you know how to return?

PM: I didn't KNOW how. I just knew I could do it & did. I know it's not an adequate explanation. As a scientist I have a responsibility to explain such seeming illogic but I can't.

I: So you returned .....

PM: Yomi, Osaka & even Mr. Tadakichi did what they could to dissuade me but I had to go. It broke my heart to leave ..... still does (choke!) ..... but there was no way I could stay. Since then there have been times I wished I did ..... God help me! At times, I want to go back! I'm scared if the opportunity ever came again I'd just might jump at it! ..... God forgive me .....

I tried telling them of the real Heaven & the real way to get there as I have in the past but they'd have none of it. I wished them well. Wherever they are ..... I hope they're ..... happy .....

I'll NEVER see them ..... again .....

I: About your return .....

PM: Next thing I know, I'm back under the table. Stark naked! Got my clothes on fast as I could but still stayed hidden til .... for hours it seemed.

There was still some shooting. Most of the combatants were either traumatized to incapacity or just in no mood to fight. A good number of our own security unit rallied. Many of our former attackers took off. Several military units not under SEELE influence were based near Tokyo 3 & not involved in the initial fighting. They managed to pull themselves together & impose a cease fire in the area.

People who died in the initial assault came back without even a scratch. Others who went unhurt were never seen again. The first shall be last ..... the last shall be first .....

For a while it was pandaemonium & chaos the world over. It was almost a week before regular communications was restored. As soon as I could, I tried to get in touch with everyone I knew. Except for a few, I found most still with us ..... Yomi & Osaka weren't among them .....

I first contacted a friend in the Nat. Fed. Police, Tomo Takino. She was way ahead of me. She had already pulled some strings & had investigations going on top of the inevitable flood of missing persons cases.

I: The Tomo you mentioned before?

PM: Yes. She entered the academy while still in college. She's now a liason between the police & ICPO (Interpol).

I hoped it was only a bad dream somehow & they'd still be found. There hasn't been a trace ..... Tomo's still searching. She & Yomi were close ..... & Osaka ..... those two ..... Oh dear God! .....

I: Real Heaven & the real way ..... It says in your dossier you're a convert to Christianity.

PM: Yes. I accepted Jesus Christ as ruler of my life my second year at Pacific Tech ..... he ..... he's now also the keeper of my sanity. I ..... I ..... I know I haven't been giving a good behavioral example of what a Christian should be in this interview.

I: Quite understandable. Third Impacts' taken a HUGE toll on most. We've seen clergymen break down & vent in some interviews like you wouldn't believe. Swearing like sailors! Not to mention the devout in other religions & belief systems.

You're not alone.

PM: Not ..... alone ..... Osaka? ..... Yomi? ..... OH MY GOD! ..... Oh ..... sweet ..... Jesus! .....
nooooooo .....

Invasion U.S.A.: Darn Commies!

Lobby card for Invasion U.S.A.

                                                         Invasion U.S.A.: Darn Commies!

                                                                               by

                                                                                   Jay Agan

      This film is considered by many to be a crappy little movie. Well I happen to like crappy little movies &, as it turns out, for some of the same reasons people of a certain political "bent" turn their noses up at this one.

      They'll go into its' being low budget. OK. They'll talk about its' overuse of stock footage. Again OK. They wax loud & long about the crummy acting. Still ..... OK. Then they get to the real reasons for their dislike of this flick. They're a buncha' leftos.

      Now I've always been fascinated about grade z budgeters with their rotten acting & the use of stock footage broadening their limited scope. Stuff like that makes these little movies so much fun to watch & Invasion U.S.A. has these in spades.

      It's the "comrades" use of the above as a lead-in for their political smarminess that gets my boxers in a bunch.

      Such folks come in two types: Those too young to remember the "cold war" taught by "freeze dried hippies" about the evils of the United States, & the aforesaid "Reagan haters" miffed over how the "cold war" turned out. Screw them. I'm glad there's no Soviet Union to worry about any more & only the "do gooders" (Left AND right!) in our own government to keep an eye on.

I take "critics" of this film about as seriously as I do these three jerks.

      As for Invasion USA, dang it's an interesting little flick. Five complacent patrons of a New York bar are hypnotized into an imagined "what if" of the U.S. & Canada under attack by "the enemy". It's no stretch figuring out who. Through a series of "apocalyptic" vignettes, the protagonists, one by one, pay for their apathy & efforts of "too little too late". The film ends with their snapping out of their trance & resolving to "do something" now instead of later.

Invasion U.S.A.Lobby card of atom bomb attack special effects scene on
New York City.

      With a bigger budget & more than just the seven days of principle filming, this would have made for an excellent picture ...... & even more sneers on the part of the self appointed/morally annointed guardians of our souls. Again ..... screw them anyway.

     As it is, I'd sooner watch Invasion USA (Along with the '85 Chuck Norris version!) or Red Dawn than I would the maudlin garbage of Reds or The Way We Were.

     The Synapse disk of this film contains a listing of the Conelrad 100. A list of "100 of the best "Atomic" films ever made. This is courtesy of conelrad.com, a website specializing in such TV/movie related shows. Warning: It does contain the type of "snarkiness" mentioned earlier in this article.

1.   yomi afterlife - No! She can't be ..... dead. Not my favorite "uptight" anime character! I'll bet that Tomo did her in. That or an eating disorder. Seems death is a "regular" with the Azumanga Daioh kids.

Mizuhara, Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga, Kaorin, Chiyo-chan Mihama, Sakaki,
Kagura, & Tomo Takino.

1984: Come & Not Gone

                                                1984: Come & Not Gone

                                                                     by

                                                                        Jay Agan

     A few years back I was fired from my cashiering job at a midwest based wannabe Wal-Mart (Not Wal-Mart itself. I actually shop there.). I made the "mistake" of saying politically incorrect things  to a couple of  what I suspect to be "secret shoppers". You know, spies the company hires to measure employee performance. The male part of the couple enthusiastically engaged me in the conversation leading to my dismissal.

     During my time of unemployment, I finally got down to reading Eric Blair/George Orwells' 1984. A darn good read it is too. Especially the parts about how the STATE uses spies, amateur or otherwise. Through observation in various places of employment, I've come to the conclusion that there is little difference between socialism & capitalism (Not free enterprise. I make a distinction. A subject for another article in two or three weeks. Socialism is a business pretending to be a government. Capitalism is a government pretending to be a business.).

     Recently I've been availing myself of Amazons' used movie options & have saved myself some dough in aquiring flicks. A recent purchase was the 1956 version of  1984 with Edmond O'Brien as Winston Smith.

     The film itself is every bit as good as the book. Aside from a few minor changes & a different though just as creepy ending, it is quite faithful to the story.

     Winston Smith (O'Brien) is not happy with the way things are in Oceania. Though a trusted/priviledged member of the "Outer Party", he resents the rigidity of the oppressive society he's in & the constant surveillance. He buys an unused diary to record his thoughts. He finds he's being pursued by a kindred spirit, Julia (Jan Sterling) & takes up a relationship with her (Love of anyone/thing other than the STATE & "Big Brother" is forbidden.). All the while the lovers are being watched, manipulated, then railroaded into arrest, incarceration, & "reeducation". As it's a question of not if but when one cracks, the two end up "betraying" one another. The film ends with a mind altered Winston worshipping "Big Brother" with unbridled enthusiasm.

Cover art for the DVDR I bought through Amazon.

     I bought this disc under the impression I was getting a superior product. It isn't. It turns out to be a DVDR copy from a VHS tape (Tracking "marks" can be seen at the bottom of the screen in some places.).The print the film was originally taped from is evidently worn somewhat. The Amazon blurb said "digitally remastered" & no doubt it is as every scratch, burn, whistle, hiss, snap, crackle, & poop is there in crystal clarity.

     There's no menu. Pop the disc in & it plays immediately. The "old time radio show" mentioned on the case cover is nowhere to be found. The case cover itself has no company name or logo so I have no idea who puts this out.

     As I couldn't find this film under other labels & it being still quite watchable, I decided to keep it. As I paid only a few bucks for it, "resentment" is minimal.

     Oh yes. It's been 1984 a long time now.

Search Words of Interest # 1

                                            Interesting Search Words #1
     

      Hopefully this will be at least a bi-weekly "column". It will consist of the more interesting search words net surfers have used leading them to this blog. Here's a few from last week.

1. how does Lucys' dress look in Charlie Brown - I assume the searcher meant "look on" Charlie Brown. Judging by Charles Shulzs' "simple" art style, I imagine Charlie would look pretty much like Lucy but without the hair. I also imagine this particular net surfer to be a little on the "strange" side.

2. azumanga daioh osaka shocked - Fans of Azumanga Daioh are pretty much aware that the Osaka character looks rather "shocked" just about all the time.

"What 't heck you starin' at!?" Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga

3. osaka drag show - I assume this to be another Azumanga search. Or maybe it's in reference to an Initial-D spinoff? Or ..... an all male revue in southern Japan?

4. sandy fantasy porn actress - I have no idea how this could have led someone to this blog. Well I do mention hentai on this blog but not in favorable terms.

That's it for now. There'll probably be some more next week.

Hey Haruhi Suzumiya Fans! Check These Out!



Suddenly ..... Haruhis! Lots of 'em!
Oh for the love of .....! As if one wasn't enough!



                                Hey Haruhi Suzumiya Fans! Check These Out!

      Was stooging around YouTube when I stumbled across THIS. This "parody sub" uses the ENOZ "concert" scene from episode 12, "Live Alive" from The Melancholy of  Haruhi Suzumiya. It took me awhile to figure out what was going on, & when I did, I actually hurt my guts I was laughing so hard! The "matching" of Japanese "word sounds" to actual English words came out absolutely hilarious! Nonsensical phrases having nothing at all to do with one another ........... crazy! I wonder if there are other "parody subs" out there. CORN SALAD!

      Try The Freakingness of Haruhi Suzumiya 1 here. "Old timers" will recognize the "voice" & get a kick out of the segment at about 3:44. It never occured to me that would be the perfect laugh for Tsuruya.

      The Freakingness of Haruhi Sumiya 2 here, is also a hoot 'n a half.

      Warning: Strong language in some segments. Have the kiddies leave the room.

      Yes. Itsuke still likes trains.
