Monday Notes (June 26)...

Good morning to everybody on the east coast that's up this early. Only a few hours of sleep here, as usual. At least that constant eye irritation that's been bugging me for the past week or so seems to have gone away. Anyways, after getting up I finished off something of a Strawberry Panic marathon I started yesterday, watching up to episode 8. Maestro (and everybody else) seems to like it, so I decided to catch up... and yeah, I like it, too. Nagisa's cute, Tamao's cute (you Tomoyo or something?), Chiyo's cute (Chiwa!), Shizuma is a lesbian stalker getting nicer (at least for now), Chikaru's fun, Kagome's cute... y'all get the idea. I've got more I could say, but it should probably go in a different post if I'm gonna write anymore about it, so I'll stop now ;)

Some of y'all might have noticed the counter at the bottom of the right column there has finally gone over 1,000,000. Only took 2 years and 5 months, hehe. Thanks to everybody for visiting, even though the updates aren't quite as timely and regular as they used to be. We'll see how long it takes to get to the next milestone, though at this point I don't much care about the numbers so long as you, my readers, find what I write useful and sometimes insightful, or at the least amusing ;)

And now the haul from the past week:

Ichigo Mashimaro DVD 1 and the DS Lite. Luckily for me, the local Wal-Mart still had some DS Lites in stock when I went there last night :)

And the obligatory brightness comparison. DS Lite vs. Axim X5 Pocket PC, both on their brightest setting:

うおっまぶしっ (Woah, it's really bright), to borrow a famous phrase from a certain show. DS Lite wins easily. You really could blind yourself with it set that bright (^^;;) The second setting seems to work best for me.

Anyways, going into work early (in just about an hour at 8am) since this afternoon I'm meeting with a friend to have lunch, and also to watch some things (probably a lot of Futago Hime. Yeah, I've made a couple of my friends into fans of the show), so I'll leave it at this for now and add any interesting news I find during the day as usual.
