| 12:35am | State of the Proxy, April 2007 | | | | Summer is in full swing in this tropical country of mine. It’s so hot, I actually don’t mind doing overtime at the office–just to be in an air-conditioned place.

| 10:17pm | This season’s anime in…well, not a very long post. Really. | | | | Right, time for me to actually get down to doing some real posting.

| 11:34pm | Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS - Episode 2 Summary | | | | As anyone who knows me will know.I have the highest regard for Nanoha.
