As opposed to the research described in my previous post, I figured that for "Final Exam," I could find a fair amount of stuff on the Website. As it turns out, there's hardly any background text on the pages. But what really struck me is that you can download any of the current books for free. Although the information won't be as accurate, this ( Read more... )

I've been getting occasional comments from anonymous users. The first one may merely have been my brother being sarcastic, but I've gotten others from different IPs on a post that covers two mostly unrelated topics, so I don't even know for which part(s) they're thanking me. They didn't sound like anyone I knew, but I tried searching to see if they ( Read more... )

The other night, I noticed that I had a tennen tate-roll (just one, on the right). This reminded me, I don't know where the stereotype that such a 'do is sported by rich ladies (as exemplified by the source for the subject line, which applies just as well to me as to Ms. Azumano; also includes three-point ellipses, which are somewhat half-assed ( Read more... )

We had an alliance of kami-tsukai from the two R.O.Ds, like in THE TV. I was Ms. Readman, which meant it was a pain in the ass because I had to speak in a high-pitched voice and always use polite forms.Of course, from what little I remember, I was talking to Ms. King, which means that I'd be using even politer forms if I were myself. Also, if I ( Read more... )

Just for the hell of it, I feel like typing a bit about the ideas behind my PN.

מיכאל: This one comes, of course, from the name of the angel (one of only two named in the Old and New Testaments). He's often considered to be one of the big shots (as the meaning, "who is like god(?)," suggests), although his common title of "archangel" is second ( Read more... )

My readership appears to be at an all-time high (apparently at least two regulars!), but I've accumulated quite a lot of stuff during its absence, to say nothing of my sloth and the fact that I've built up a lot of new things due to year's-end-and-beginning splurging. So, I'd like to see if you have any requests or suggestions. What I've got in the ( Read more... )

These days, I have so many Japanese books to buy that by the time I get one, I don't remember what I'd read about it that prompted me to put it on the shopping list. This means, for one thing, that I generally go into each one with a clean slate, no spoilers, preconceptions, or particular expectations. This is especially true in the case of Aka× ( Read more... )

This time I had a small batch, so I'm trying to drop them all down here before I get the next one and end up being distracted again. But if I always use the same number of items for good luck, why is this one smaller than usual?

説明しよう！†

I did indeed pick 13 items in my original order. However, due to the fact that the release of one of the items ( Read more... )

For some reason, I've been going through my old downloaded videos that I hadn't gotten around to watching yet, as well as viewing some new ones flagged by Ms.? yuri_amagasa. One of the perks of doing this is that I can post the good bits on daily_yuri, which, unlike posting here, usually results in actual communication between at least two different people.

As mentioned before:

The Mikazuki Corporation is split into a number of departments that deal with the business, including Accounting, Custodial, HR, Mangetsu, Marketing, R&D, Retail, Security, Shipping, Stocking, and Troubleshooting. There are also numerous lesser companies that it controls, most significantly the Waterworks.
