| 9:34pm | Some thoughts about Japanese and languages in general | | | | Who am I kidding? I’m just studying Japanese to understand and play eroge like Sengoku Rance. During my elementary school days I really didn’t pay much attention to my classes so I really went through a lot of my life not knowing English well. I think most young kids didn’t really... | | |

| 5:33pm | When did our innocence become the plaything of Britney? |  | | | Do you remember the lost innocence of youth? With all the delicious words on hand, we found ourselves with a slightly more common word (if a name is a word). An accurate portrayal of the word Britney will be a train wreck.

Or even just “The... | | |
| 7:21pm | Frustration with Shoujo aka my beef with Vampire Knight. |  | | | Recently one of my readers asked me what the deal was with me not blogging Vampire Knight for like 2 weeks. Well besides the fact that NicoNico keeps deleting anime episodes, Winny stopped working ever since I upgraded to Vista, no one uploads it to Veoh or Tokyo Toshokan on time, I found myself getting... | | |

| 5:13am | Finishing Fanime: some more random stories and discussions | | | | A comparatively peaceful and relaxing weekend Just some random notes on Fanime 2008. Inside, a look over on some of the cosplays (although, no pictures yet), the dealer’s room, my elitist side at Fanime, some random games, and the video rooms.
