| 3:43pm | AFA 08 - The Last Day | | | | There are no pictures. There will be no pictures, mainly because I didn’t feel like pointing the webcam at anyone and I’m not going to install the Nokia PC Suite after what it did to my computer the last time.17:00The last few hours (well, from two to four in the afternoon, to be more accurate)... |

| 8:47am | Limited Mental Bandwidth | | | | While I commented on Lupus’s post on the advantages of watching raw over subbed, it was Zaitcev’s casual dismissal of said comment (and, apparently, my mental capacity) which made me wonder why I didn’t have a problem with subs.Lupus gives the example of The World Ends With You, which,... |
| 4:07pm | A Terror Like No Other | | | | A little late for Halloween, at least from my time zone. I’ve been spending the last few hours preparing for the month-long mad rush for fifty thousand words that is NaNoWriMo. I pretty much had to, considering I am going into this with almost no preparation whatsoever.One wonders what the moe-fied... |

| 7:21am | 3D Moe | | | | I’ve picked up 3D Custom Girl from somewhere (don’t ask me where, I really haven’t a clue; that DVD had been sitting forgotten in my collection for who knows how long), and on a whim, I decided to install it to see what it’s like.The basic idea is that you get to dress up a |
