::squeals:: I know it doesn’t seem like anything significant, but I was referred to with a -san suffix this morning for the first time ever! I feel as though that was symbolic of my induction into the anime art community. ::sigh:: Pris-san. Priscilla-san. There’s something beautiful in that. “There is wonderful music in the very sound of your name!” Cyradis, you just made my day.

Heeeey, Kell posted the subs for “The Dark Arts” in HP Monthly. A lot of the submissions are REALLY good! Why, if I wan’t already so biased towards my own sub, I’d have a bugger of a time trying to decide what to vote for! Well, if you like my sub, I’d feel incredibly honored if you’d vote for me. I’m about 2/3 of the way down the list. May you choose well!

So exciting! The audience will stop and cheer

So delighting! It will run for fifty years!

What shall I do with my free time this summer? Christina has a nice suggestion:

Hey! All the time in the world? Chain yourself to the computer, I want WIAN up and in seventeen languages!

This challenge shall be met! By the end of this summer, “What’s In a Name” will be available in five language editions. I can take care of the French section (plus, I have the series en francais), and I’ve gotten volunteers for several other languages. I’d like to take this time to say “Thank god for HP Galleries! They have short lists of the names of characters/etc. in oodles of different languages. If you have a basic understanding of any of these languages, I want your help!

  • RAAAAR! Where be the Napster clones! I want the songs from Moulin Rouge! Now! Curse you, modem!

    I just saw the most fabulous movie… I thought it was going to be awful, and for about the first 30 minutes I thought it was awful, but I absolutely loved this movie by the end. Moulin Rouge. God, that movie rocks! There’s no explaining it. It’s just brilliant. It like… it’s like seeing RENT. It’s like seeing a new Rent. That movie was just beyond fabulous.

    ::laughs:: Ann is my hero. She just gave me the link to Pornolize, which (like the crazy drug talk generator) converts your normal text into pornspeak. Reading my pornolized blog made me laugh so hard I cried. Go check it out for yourself! Sorry, I won’t supply any quotes, for the benefit of any young children that happen to read my blog. Yeah…
