Updates

(AND/OR CASUAL NEWS)

Lots of updates tonight. I reorganized the site, updated some pages so they look nicer and are easier to read, and put up a few new posts. I basically eliminated a bunch of articles that used to be Wordpress “Pages” and turned them into “Posts” which are listed under an Article header.

I’m really excited right now to work on my site!

Yay for Chopin’s 200th birthday!! No seriously, I was so excited about it… I wanted to dedicate my whole day just to contemplating the beauty of his music. Alas, I ended up doing lots of other things as well! ^^;

I edited many things around the website today. Most notably the header images. Fixed them up and made them a little more spiffy.

I’ve also added a bunch of “10 Useful Japanese Words in Anime” lists. Hope they’re useful for you!

I’m very happy to announce that I did in fact procure a new hosting service for my website. I switched from FatCow (which seemed alright at first, but eventually became far too slow and unreliable to bear) to Fused Network just yesterday. The DNS propagation seems to have run its course and, man, I can feel the difference already! So much faster! The FN founder and support team were ridiculously fast at responding. No matter what time of day or night I contacted them, the response came within 10 minutes at most (often less). Very nice. They are also based in Canada, which suits me just fine, as I am a (somewhat) proud Canadian mysefl!

I happened to get a deal for $110 CAD/2 years of hosting service, which I don’t think is too bad. That’s slightly less than $5/month. And for this kind of service… wow!

There were quite a few unannounced posts between now and the beginning of February, some using Pandora Hearts, others using Loveless.

I have also put up a substantial amount of information on Japanese pronouns. Took me about 6 hours of solid work but hey, it was kind of fun (other than the occasional “accidents” caused by my unreliable hosting service… gah, I gotta get a new one!!).

I have uploaded a number of Japanese sound bytes from the anime Trinity Blood, along with translation, explanation, notes, etc. Click here to get started. Hope you find them entertaining and helpful!

Oh, and why Trinity Blood? I just happened to watch a few episodes of it recently and fell in love with Ion Fortuna (unfortunately, he was only a “minor” main character and appeared in only a handful of episodes ;-;). Of course, I like some of the other characters too… sort of… ^^; I had the files on hand so I thought, What the hey!

Music Downloads are available. Check it out! Also, you can look at my About page for more information on my goals and who I am.

This place is completely under construction at the moment. I’ve just started working on this website. Please check back later!
