Monday Notes...
Jeff has put up an entry over on his site about the history of his blog. I did the same for the first anniversary of MAB back in February. For those who weren't regulars back then, here's a look at what I was watching the last part of April a year ago:
Koikaze 4
Midori no Hibi 4
Aishiteru ze Baby 4 (My cute fix back then. Yuzuyu-chan kawaii!)
Naruto 80
Fullmetal Alchemist 29
Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai 5
So I was pretty busy with stuff then... just that the average blog length has gotten quite a bit longer since I started doing full summaries. And I'll keep on doing them so long as there's demand from y'all for them :)
The shoutbox is awfully quiet tonight, much unlike last night where some crazy stuff was going on. Something about moyism becoming Ren's manservant to pay the bills for all the anime stuff he's been buying ;) For those that missed out on the fun, check out the extended entry (scroll up to read all of it).
I see Stripey has joined me in using the red text in his entry for Erementar Gerad 3 ;) For those wondering what the heck the random Japanese in big red text is supposed to be... think of it as a raw reaction to whatever I'm watching most of the time. So when I think something's really cute...
＿＿＿＿可愛いよ、＿＿＿＿！！
____ is cute, ____!!
..with some variations on that every now and then. Other times I'll pull out quotes that stand out and put them in it. But you've gotta make it big, Stripey, make it have more impact. So if I showed you this, showing what Bizon did to Ren in the manga...
この変態野郎！ゆるせない！！ヽ（`Д´）ノ
You sick bastard!! I'll never forgive you!!
You'd write something like that, right? ;)
As many of you heard on the news, the big story over in Japan now is a train derailment that happened earlier today in Amagasaki, (between Kobe and Osaka) killing 71 and injuring 441 as of now (Updated 9:55PM). My thoughts and prayers go out to those whose family or friends were involved.
Now, moving on to the usual stuff today. Mahoraba 16 & 17 will get done today... かも... ;)
Today's News:
XXXHolic/Tsubasa Movie Website Up
So we will be getting a Tsubasa movie. No real details on it besides the title, Tsubasa Chronicle - Torikago no Kuni no Himegimi (Princess of the Birdcage Kingdom), and that it'll be animated by Production I.G., same as the XXXHolic movie. Wish I could see both when they're released, but those of us not in Japan'll just have to wait it out, won't we? :)

moyism: Apr 24, 7:05 pm
I'm too full to think, so yea... Heph, go take the slave-kun job if you want. I'll find another way to make money somehow...
Hephador: Apr 24, 7:05 pm
should only take you a few days to deliver her dinner
moyism: Apr 24, 7:04 pm
what the... I want no part in this!
Kabitzin: Apr 24, 6:59 pm
You don't have to go, just get Moyism to pick up some food for you.
Maestro4k: Apr 24, 6:58 pm
What a way to start out moy, making her get her own food, shame.
Ren: Apr 24, 6:56 pm
LoL! well boys, i've gotta head out and find myself something to eat. it's been a blast. see you all later
Hephador: Apr 24, 6:53 pm
hell no this rules
moyism: Apr 24, 6:52 pm
LMAO, today's SB has definitely got out of hand.
Maestro4k: Apr 24, 6:48 pm
Let me find a properly qualified quack, umm, psychiatrist and I'm sure we'll find some long lost childhood memories of promies of marriage you forgot about.
Hephador: Apr 24, 6:44 pm
Oh sure you do...when they say no, it really means yes.
Ren: Apr 24, 6:44 pm
lolol. you have no idea how many times i've felt like i lived in a dorm with so many girls around. it's a house actually, that we're renting, with 5 bedrooms. one for eachof us, and one for our cabana boy :P
moyism: Apr 24, 6:43 pm
well I do know we own some strip of land/apartment somewhere back in China... I think. Blah, I can skip the grandma requirement. Dunno where I'm going to find a martial arts prof. and I don't *think* have any promises of future marriage.
Hephador: Apr 24, 6:41 pm
maybe your grandmother owns Ren's apartment building
Maestro4k: Apr 24, 6:41 pm
Well you appear to have the women's only dorm (aka apartment in this case) to take care of part already solved.
moyism: Apr 24, 6:37 pm
so all I need to find is my grandmother who owns a women only dorm, a professor who kicks ass in martial arts, my (apparent) chilhood promise of marriage, and an aunt that smokes more than most folks. HA! Easy as pie!
Maestro4k: Apr 24, 6:32 pm
Well then, we seems you'll be the Keitarou/Love Hina type, falling into embarssing situations out of clumsiness.
moyism: Apr 24, 6:31 pm
nope. was a normal day w/o any alcohol or lack of sleep.
Ren: Apr 24, 6:30 pm
lol heph lol
Maestro4k: Apr 24, 6:29 pm
Copious amounts of alcohol and/or little sleep?
Hephador: Apr 24, 6:28 pm
well, you might be Ren
moyism: Apr 24, 6:27 pm
lol, right. At least I don't chronicle my various clusminess from the past couple years... man, walking into that sign post.. how the heck did I do that?!
Ren: Apr 24, 6:25 pm
i'm talkin about the harem, not the embarassing stories. lol
Ren: Apr 24, 6:24 pm
aw come on. we'll be nice
moyism: Apr 24, 6:23 pm
.. and there will be no "next time" in embarrassing moy stories! :P
moyism: Apr 24, 6:22 pm
wait... I did it *once* Kabitzin! And living "the harem anime lifestyle" looks dangerous to one's health, period.
Maestro4k: Apr 24, 6:19 pm
See now, that wasn't too hard, next time you need to admit something embarassing it'll be even easier.
Ren: Apr 24, 6:19 pm
*falls over laughing* wow, that must've been some intense boredom
Kabitzin: Apr 24, 6:19 pm
So you've been shaving your legs for two years now? What studio is animating this exciting new harem anime?
Hephador: Apr 24, 6:19 pm
It made you feel funny? Like climbing the rope in gym class?
Maestro4k: Apr 24, 6:17 pm
You'd let a little thing like that keep you from living the harem anime lifestyle moy?
moyism: Apr 24, 6:16 pm
*fine*. Soph year I was bored and decided to shave my legs. THAT'S IT. But man, took forever plus felt really weird everytime I put jeans/pants on. END OF STORY. geez..
Hephador: Apr 24, 6:14 pm
lol
Ren: Apr 24, 6:13 pm
ah moy, better to get it out in the open now. the question will inevitably come up at the interview so why not get ahead of the game :P
moyism: Apr 24, 6:11 pm
.. and I'm still trying to avoid that subject.
Hephador: Apr 24, 6:09 pm
still waiting for your shaving story cabana boy
moyism: Apr 24, 6:09 pm
waxing.. what.. wait a minute... er...
Ren: Apr 24, 6:08 pm
lolol heph. well, i put an email link on my blog. we accept resumes hahahaha
Kabitzin: Apr 24, 6:07 pm
The things we do for anime...
Hephador: Apr 24, 6:07 pm
waxing...ouch
Hephador: Apr 24, 6:06 pm
Woohoo! I might take the job Ren if moy declines haha.
Ren: Apr 24, 6:06 pm
btw. we wouldn't make him shave his legs. waxing is much more effective
moyism: Apr 24, 6:02 pm
That's part of the 90% you're *suppose* to ignore man!
Hephador: Apr 24, 6:00 pm
Ahhh...Kabitzin is now ensnared in the fun. Exxxxcellent. *rubs hands*
Ren: Apr 24, 5:58 pm
ok there are pics of me and my roommates up at my blog. i wish i could have better ones of barb and jaclyn, but they were all i had.
Ren: Apr 24, 5:57 pm
Rofl @ again!
Kabitzin: Apr 24, 5:57 pm
That still leaves the part where you mentioned you've shaved your legs...
moyism: Apr 24, 5:56 pm
Kabitzin, just ignore 90% of what has been said today.
Kabitzin: Apr 24, 5:56 pm
WTF is going on here?!?!?!?!
Hephador: Apr 24, 5:53 pm
So there was a first time?
moyism: Apr 24, 5:52 pm
never again!
Maestro4k: Apr 24, 5:48 pm
They'd just make you shave them if they didn't like them.
Ren: Apr 24, 5:45 pm
rofl
moyism: Apr 24, 5:43 pm
I don't think girls would want to see my hairy legs anyways.. lol
Ren: Apr 24, 5:41 pm
ok we're way less perverted. i should have pointed that out lolol. i'm trying to find pictures of all of us. i'll put them up on my blog :P
moyism: Apr 24, 5:39 pm
er... ^_^;;
Ren: Apr 24, 5:37 pm
and since the winters are brutally cold here, we won't be mean and make you walk around in shorts in december :P. lol.. it'd be a reverse HIMM.
moyism: Apr 24, 5:36 pm
hmm... definitely worth looking into...
Ren: Apr 24, 5:34 pm
well i'm sure we could figure out some kind of salary. but most importantly you'd get the satisfaction of living with four cute girls :P
Maestro4k: Apr 24, 5:32 pm
I think the benefits were you'd have money to keep paying for more anime stuff
moyism: Apr 24, 5:31 pm
not gonna go on the trip, even though I want to. No point adding more debt to my life. And Ren, the job offer sounds tempting.. what's my benefits (if any)?
Maestro4k: Apr 24, 5:27 pm
And she works for a lawyer's office moy, better be sure you don't make her mad!
Ren: Apr 24, 5:24 pm
lololol. make sure my drinks have pink umbrellas
Hephador: Apr 24, 5:22 pm
moy the cabana boy
Maestro4k: Apr 24, 5:18 pm
Well I guess we know how moy will be paying for that trip this summer now
Ren: Apr 24, 5:10 pm
I live with three other girls. we could use a manservant :P
moyism: Apr 24, 5:03 pm
I so would guys.. I so would... anyone need some cheap labor? heheh
My prayers go to the bereaved as well. It is a really sad thing. The Japanese people deserve my utmost gratitude for their efforts in rebuilding my country. I hope they can overcome this tragedy.
I was sincerely hoping yesterday's SB conversation would die out and be a forgotten memory.
... I guess not ^_^;;
(does his best Tamami-chan impression) Oh, I just put it there just in case, you know ;)
Wow! Did I missed that much excitement in the SB?!
*goes to archive the conversation*
Now I'm angry! I'm going to @!*&#^@ that @#(*&@( Beezun into @!#*&^#@ for doing that to Ren! YES, your red capitals conveyed exactly how I felt. Zettai yurusenai!
Thanks for the tip (and granting the ranting space), Matthew. :) Now I feel much better :P
You don't drink decaffeinated do you Stripey?
err no... you mean caffeine is the culprit for my sporadic outbursts and random headbanging? Maybe I should lay off coffee while watching anime (esp erementar for now)... it's frightening my family....LOL!
