Firstly, I dunno who deleted the post, but I'm glad it was. =P
My comment:
That person's pen name is Shimonita Negi.
"Why are they putting it on the web and keeping it secret?"
It's like that because:
1) Disney doesn't want stuff like it up, so they have to keep it behind a password-lock,
2) They don't want people to steal the images and do things with them (which already happens because people scan the doujinshi..)
Also, it's not a good idea to link it like that because she and other similar artists will have trackers on their websites that will monitor where people come from. So she'd be able to see that there's a bunch of people that might flood over to her front page from an English community. D= Stuff like this sometimes prompts the artists to close their sites.
As for the password, it's not too hard. I'm not going to say it, but if you try using an online translator for the questions, you might get the gist of what it's asking (I think, not sure..). =)
Her reply:
oh come on, you can tell me. ;) haha i would figure it out myself definately, but i'd need to right click and set the unicode to japanese which i can't do on that site. xD
There's a reason you can't right click on the website. And you don't have to right click to set the unicode to Japanese; it's as simple as going to the navigation bar and changing the character encoding there. D=

Because the Chuunichi Dragons won their baseball game this weekend (I know this only because my host father was watching the game), many places have sales (well, they'd have it either for winning or losing, either way, lol). But what I saw at Heiwado today was... the regular PSP on sale. Now, I don't know how much they normally go for, so I was hesitant about getting one (I didn't). The normal ones went for 14,800 yen, and there one called the "Happy Pack" that came with a protector case, a 256MB memory card, earphones, and screen protector. That was 17,800 yen. The slim ones are still 19,7xx yen though. I want a slim one, so I guess I'll wait. Still not sure what color I'd want to go for though. Right now, there's the Ice Silver, Lavender, and Rose Pink there... but I might check in more techy places later. =P

Went to get gas for the first time by myself. The last time (the real first time) was with Matt when we were still taking it around to get stuff changed. I went to the only self-service station I knew of in the area, Cosmo, on Route 256. I got about half a tank, which was about 10 liters, but I had put in money for 14 liters... because I forgot how many liters the machine I put money into told me I could pump. So, I had to go inside to get my change from a machine that read the barcode on my receipt.
... Maybe I should have signed up for a point card. Maybe next time, if I drag along another person with me so I'm not as intimidated by the service person (well, more like I just wanted to get done with the gas station quickly, so I didn't want to stay longer).

Right now, I'm longing for a hot water dispenser, but I think I'll go with the more old-fashioned way, the kettle. I still want to find the powdered lemon tea like the one that we have at school. It's just the right sweetness, and it's in a can!
