Finally when I had something to look forward to…eagerly camping Tokyo Tosho, hitting F5 over and over again, gleefully envisioning the long awaited scene in which Makoto finally gets his just desserts…

Some little girl in Japan had to go all Higurashi on her dad, resulting in the final episode of School Days getting pulled, and now I have nothing to watch. Read the rest of this entry »

Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo, who’s been under the gun ever since his party (the LDP) was royally whupped in the July 29 elections, has finally announced that he’s stepping down.

An Open Letter to Our Former Hosting Provider:

Dear Our Former Hosting Provider,

Why must you eat babies for sustenance, even though they provide little if any nutritional value? Why must you outsource all your technical support (and I use that term very loosely) to India, where they are all named James and yet cannot speak a single sentence of intelligible English?

Why, even though you promised 9,999.99% uptime, must your servers crash and burn harder than Michael Vick’s NFL career? Why do you force memes? And why is yo momma so fat?

Sincerely,

Epic Win

*sigh* My apologies to everybody who experienced problems trying to browse our site in the last few days. Our old host’s uptime proved worse than Itou Makoto’s long term relationship prospects, and I wasn’t about to pull a Katsura and stick around for more abuse. The DNS records should all be pointing over to our new server, and everything seems to be in working order.

If you have any problems surfing the site or trying to post comments, please let me know.
