   Snow!! Yay Snow!! And a new theme! ^^

> Anime Word of the Day

Bunkobon (文庫本) is a popular Japanese A6 book format. They are designed to be affordable and portable. They are sometimes illustrated, and (like other Japanese paperbacks) usually have a dust wrapper over a plain cover. Not only novels but also many manga are released in bunkobon format. They are used for similar purposes as Western mass market paperbacks: for cheaper editions of books that have already been published as hardbacks. However, they are typically printed on durable paper and durably bound.

Opening Act: Hello Everyone! Thanks so much everyone for the sympathy and kind thoughts, but don’t worry too much about me. I’m doing just fine! ^^ Although I admit the sound of those medical tools will definitely become the thing of nightmares! LoL My leg is feeling a lot better now though, and I’ve even managed to walk on it a bit. My doctor pretty much guessing I’m beyond sick of being in bed put me in a walking cast. While I’m supposed to use crutches for short distances I can just kind of hobble around. Hehehe Big improvement! Just being able to walk around my house has pretty much improved my whole outlook on life! LoL And to make me even happier, it’s snowing outside!! In fact it’s been snowing for two days now! I’m just so happy to see that pretty white stuff outside! I adore snow…especially since I know that here in Seattle it’s not likely to stick around for more than a few hours. LoL And of course along with the pretty snow I’m starting to get into the Christmas mood! I’m trying to convince my roomies to dig out the holiday decorations since I can’t exactly climb out on the roof and put on lights! No fair! I want to see pretty lights through my window! At least one of my neighbors has already put up all of his stuff so I can admire those. Anime! Well I just finished watching a new anime series called Shounen Onmyouji. It’s a show following the growth of a young Onmyouji named Masahiro. He’s accompanied by a little critter he named Mokkun who kind of looks like a cross between a rabbit and a cat. The interplay between the two of them runs the rampart between too funny and too sweet! I love it! And plus it’s just a really pretty anime. I’ve made a few wallpapers from the series so if you’re into wallpapers you’ve probably already seen my obsession grow. LoL Anyway if you’re looking for a new anime to watch I highly recommend you check out this one! ^^ I’m also up to the series finale for The Third…which makes me incredibly sad. This show went above and beyond the expectations I had for it. The characters dragged me into their lives and just took over my mind for hours on end. I’m usually pretty good about letting a series go when its done…but darn it I’m going to miss Honoka and Bogie!!! New Works: New wallpapers, a couple more Black Cat and Samurai Deeper Kyo experiments as well as Prince of Tennis wallpaper. Which is now my new bg image for this winter month! I hope you can all view this theme pretty easily and it looks as cute as I hope it does. LoL I really wish I had a way of testing these things before I try to create them online. Hehehe As always opinions on my wallpapers and this theme are more than welcome. ^^ Epilogue: I am addicted to Christmas movies! Though I admit the Charlie Brown movie and Nightmare before Christmas are probably two of my faves! Hmm but yeah I still sit down every year and watch the Grinch and Rudolph! Hehehe Oh and you really don’t want to hear about my insane dreams while on pain killers…LoL I really wish Vincent had been in it! Hehehe Instead they were bizarre dreams that involved me trying to run while power tools chased after me…yeah I know…I’m a strange child. LoL Oh and while I do make some of the gifs and animations I put on my little posts I don’t make most of them. LoL I have this habit of scanning Live Journal for avatars/icons. I’d love to give credit to their creators, but half the time I find them just lost in posts all over the place. So I’ll just say they’re not mine unless I claim them specifically! ^^ So feel free to snag any you like if so inclined! Random Question: What was the first piece of anime memorabilia that you bought?

Yamaguchi Kappei’s Biography
Date of birth: May 23, 1965 in Fukuoka, Japan Blood Type:B Other Names:Mitsuo (光雄) Yamaguchi (山口) Kyōya Ushiku (牛久京也) Occupation: Voice Actor/Singer
Since he is currently the third most prolific voice actor in Japan I could not help but do a listing for Yamaguchi. Especially since he’s currently voicing the amazing character of L in the anime version of Death Note! I’m quite fond of this voice actor even though he tends to do more side characters than main characters. But oddly enough those characters have stuck in my mind almost as much as my fave bishies! LoL Did I mention he’s also the voice actor for Inuyasha? ^^ Just a short listing of his voice acting career.
