Move done...

Ok so here is the deal, I have gotten moved to Pit, not sure how long it will be before I get going with the blog again as far as reviews and stuff go, I anticipate it might take a couple of weeks still. But do bear with me, as I do have a lot of material to get up and get going on.

Talk to you soon!

UPDATES - 08/07/08

Ok, so you really want to know whats been taking up all my time recently that I have free? Look for the review late tommorow ^_~

Anyways, so you know, I am going to be leaving Utah on next Thursday, and will likely be out of commission for the next 5 days following that, I might get a chance to post a note while on the road but there are no guarantees.

One thing the slight sabbatical is going to do for me is give me a chance to get caught up on my Manga reading and Anime viewing, which should allow for a lot more content to get put up on the site soon enough.

Talk to you tommorow with the review!

A picture is worth 1000 words...

So I was in Barnes and Noble the other night doing a weekly Manga shop and I noticed this girl sitting on the ground with a stack of Manga reading away, since I had posted about this a couple of weeks back, I thought I would add the photo here for emphasis that this phenomenon is going on everywhere right now.

I need to go back...

I don't write about my own life much if ever here, this was meant to be a light business endeavour in some ways, but since this topic merges with the blog so well I figured that it would be ok, and let you get to know me a bit better as well...

Japan, I need to go back...

These last few years have been pretty trying for me, not always in a bad way, but I have lost a lot of who I am in the process, everything became blurred between, marriage, love, divorce, the SCA I have sorted drifted away. Then my roomate got me into Megatokyo, and there for some reason it all came back, the love of Anime, the contrasts of Tokyo between old and new...I just realized that I missed it a lot.

I have been there a number of times before thanks to my father being an airline pilot, and I loved it, there was something special and serene about the place that appealed to me...I just need to get back and try to find some of what I have been missing again, to walk those streets alone again one more time...

UPDATES - 08/03/08

Ok, so as I said things are a bit hectic around here right now, I want to post more and get more content up here and everytime something goes haywire and wrong. However I think I might be seeing some light at the end of the tunnel and will work towards that.

I have been working mostly on getting my house ready for sale at the moment, its ready to go almost, still cleaning out the garage and stuff like that. But its a rather long process...

Picked up a new Manga last night, the first volume of the prequel series to Fushugi Yugi published by Viz, and I will get a review up pretty soon. In addition I am working on reviews for the complete series of The Galaxy Railways and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Vol. 2

I am hoping to have these all published bef0re this weekend when I am going to be out at an SCA event then beginning the move to PA.
