I hope you like the new design! All of my old entries, and comments have been moved over, so no data has been lost. I'm working on some new posts and pages even as you read this, so take a peek around and feel free to let me know, politely, what you think.

I haven't forgotten this blog, I swear! I'm working on changing to a different software to run it, and overhauling my entire website. When I have the new software installed, this blog will really become the featured element of the site :-) I do have some big plans for it, including expanding the scope more and doing more casual, chatty type posts on various topics related to anime/manga and Japan, including discussion current books I'm reading (not just the manga), reactions to things in the news, etc. The new software I'm going to switch too is much easier to run and maintain, is more user friendly for y'all to comment (and me to reply), has better spam filters, and a nicer organization and layout.

Yes, its been quite awhile since my last post, not even my normal purchasing posts! Alas, I was never able to recover my laptop's hard drive data, so my library and DVD collections are completely out of sync and I'm having a harder time tracking anything since the crash. Still working on getting my desktop back on-line and basically rebuilding my entire 1000+ book database for easier maintaining. I'm hoping to move my entire website to a ColdFusion-based so I can better manage the content as well. Meanwhile, going to work on posting more regularly, and also hope to start (somewhat randomly) posting reviews of non-fiction books on manga, anime, and Japan.The Quiet Times
June 21, 2009
With my home desktop down since I moved in August, having my laptop die a few weeks ago was a serious blow! I had no recent backups and the hard drive suffered from massive mechanical favor. I lost ten months of my life! So I haven't abandoned my baby here, just haven't had much time to do reviews because I had to get a new laptop and get it all set up, then try and rebuild what was lost. I still haven't gotten my book and video databases going again, so my online lists are behind for the first time since I launched them. I'm working on getting my home desktop back on-line. I have all the parts and am getting it all installed and set back up. Also finally, after years of being so lazy, implemented a real backup system. At the same time, I've been working on getting all of my books unpacked from the move. Yes, TEN months later, all of my babies are finally shelved again!
That means I can get back in the groove! Coming up I plan on reviewing Ristorante Paradiso and La Corda d'Oro, two series available free (legally) on Crunchyroll. I may also review Crunchyroll itself and Skip Beat. For manga reviews, I have Ballad no Shinigami and Hot Gimmick in the review queue. So stay tuned!
