There’s nothing wrong with crying…

This is a general question to those who watch anime, or even movies or television. Has there ever been a movie/series/episode that absolutely tugged on your heart strings enough to water your eyes? Even though I’ve watched some of these movies or shows several times over, I still feel it. I remember the very first …

アニメのかいきゅう

Do you remember when you first got turned on to anime? I was sitting here listening to my Winamp list of music from various anime series, and suddenly Mamono Hunter Yoko popped on and I was trust back in time to 1995, when I had first watched it, courtesy of AD Vision (aka ADV Films). …

End of Week Three

Interesting week, indeed. I think this is the first quarter where I’ve missed one day out of fifteen. I guess that has mostly to do with the fact that I’m driving for not one, but two students, and my absences would count for two. That whole responsibility thing keeps a person sane, plus the added …

It’s kind of funny in way, because I …

Hot August Nights

I’m not talking about the car show in Reno, either. In spite of the lack of sunlight, the nights here in the South Bay have risen a little in temperature. Last night, I slept without anything on me, which is pretty unusual for me. I need at least the sheets covering me or else I’m …

Fixing the Little Things…

After an hour of reading some of the documentation from exim, as well as getting a verbal refresher in MTAs and how/why certain variables will not get read in the order of which they should. Needless to say, the problem of fixing some of the mail relay problems on faye have been solved. Finally, emails …

I, My, Me, Strawberry Eggs

I was feeling pretty sick most of the last week, which was making existance kind of miserable. My stomach was queasy for most of Tuesday, Wednesday, and part of Friday. All I could do was sit and not try to exert myself, though I think what had happened was I worked out my abdominal muscles …
