Some days...I wonder if I shouldn't have been born in ancient Japan...

Hello! Aww I’m so glad you guys like the new theme and music. I had quite a bit of fun putting it all together. And of course going through manga scans to find scenes that worked together is always a fun activity for me. Yeah I know I’m pretty strange, but hey at least I’m easily entertained!

Well I got a bit distracted this weekend, once again manga invaded my mind and tore me away from the computer. LoL A good friend of mine pushed me into starting to read a series that I’ve always been tempted to buy but never have. Vagabond. Has anyone read this thing? It’s like epic Japanese history type manga. I love it! It’s essentially the story of the creation of the Japanese sword master Miyamoto Masashi. Very violent but honestly what story about a sword fighter do you expect to be non-violent. Hehehe So yeah I spent way too much time reading through the 24 available novels and then wished desperately that I had more to read! The art work actually reminded me a great deal of Berserk, which as most of you know is one of my fave mangas so that’s probably another reason I’m so happy.

I’m really quite fond of the latest attention to the site by Adam and Massin. The ability to add favorites is quite nice. Especially since it includes e-cards in the mix as well as fan art and wallpapers! Yay! I can’t wait to go through and pick some of my faves so that other folks can know what kind of stuff I like. ^^

Oh this happened a while back but I wanted to say proudly that I have created 200 e-cards! Isn’t that just scary as can be? LoL Like my wallpapers I never actually intended to make more than a few. I originally created them just to entertain myself with some images I loved but couldn’t make into a wallpaper and it pretty much just grew from there. Funny how one gets addicted to stuff like this huh? Now I kind of feel like I’m putting together some strange Anime Book of Wisdom! Just kidding, actually I just love adding text to strange pictures and making folks smile or think for a few seconds. So yeah…200, nifty. Maybe I should go make some more so I don’t have that big old number staring at me when I go to my portfolio. ^^

For those of you who have noticed I’m holding off on adding anime word of the days and voice actor profiles for a little while. I’ve mentioned before that I’m archiving them under the Quiz Results section and well since I’m strange I only add one per day. And well every time I post I fall farther behind. So I’m going to wait until I catch up a bit and then start doing that again. So no educational content on the site unless you count my rambling suggestions of good animes or mangas to read!

Another happy thought is the next round of new anime is starting to air now as we approach February so I’m quite excited to see if we have any really good ones coming out. I’ve caught a few previews of the new seasons and there are definitely some with potential! *crosses fingers and looks hopefully at the fan subbers* I need more goodies to watch! ^^

Oh a few of you have asked before so let me tell you officially, you’re welcome to steal any of the icons/avatars I put in this space for pretty pictures. I have no skill in making them so all these are from random sweeps through LiveJournal and Photobucket. And heck sometimes just random Google searches! ^^ So steal away! I don’t know most of the time who created them so I just say don’t claim them as your own and do with them what you wish!

Well I’m off to get some sleep before I fall down! ^^ Take care and see you later!
