Decided to change my layout for a while, it's not definite but I do like the colors and reminds me of my visit to Kyoto. I may poke around some more, but I do like the sidebars-style which was absent from my Touma-created one ( Read more... )

Got back to Wis yesterday after running about Port Huron over the weekend and the tourist trap that is Frankenmuth Monday and Tuesday morning. Met up with the parentals on Friday after my class was done(YAY am now HAZWOPER-certified~!), and we went driving around lower MI.

I'm in Kalamazoo, or I guess K-Zoo to the regional people here, after spending the night at aliaswestgate's house in Gd Rapids.

I see on the regular Wiki that there's going to be a drama based on 'Futatsu no Spica', and I'm somewhat amused by how they will do it. I did check the characters and am not happy that the character Lion-san won't be on the show. He was one of my favorite characters(and yet another character voiced by Takehito Koyasu :D) along with Asumi and Suzuki ( Read more... )
