Night Update 7/8/06
I have finished the first season of the Tsubasa Chronicles (26 episodes). I went out and bought Little Birdie's birthday present and I give a guarantee to her that she will enjoy it. Since I don't know if I'll be able to post tomorrow, here is your did you know and today in history.

DID YOU KNOW...
...that in the 1869 Battle of Hakodate in Japan, French soldiers fought side-by-side with rebel samurai against the newly formed Imperial government, in an episode reminiscent of the movie The Last Samurai?
