Christchurch is a city that sits right next to the pacific ocean. Although most of the human activity happens about 10 miles inland where the city center lies, many people from this city love the beach and visit it often. Since its been a while I went to the beach, I decided to hop on the highway with Kagamin to have a little walk on the edge of the sea, instead of watching anime this evening.

Anime, like every other story, has an end, and if you're anything like me, you'll feel that slight sadness whenever the credits roll on a really good show that you've been following. Take CLANNAD for example. Don't get me wrong. I personally do not like the WTF ending, and I don't consider it the ending. I consider the extra episode an ending, because it finally gave me closure by showing Kyou in a bathtub. Then, one of my friends came up with the picture you see up there. It made me start wondering: What if CLANNAD ~After After Story~ happened? Or CLANNAD ~Ushio After~ happened or something. Would you be able to imagine yourself in that future?

Today me and my friends attended a fledgling quasi-anime-oriented convention since it was the only one that had full-fledged cosplay events and big crowds and stalls with decent amount of stock with anime-related stuff. This is the third time its been held here in Christchurch. I wrote a short post on the one last year too.

Yep this is a post about nothing. There are days when your mind goes blank and you simply don't have anything to write about, or you couldn't be bothered looking too far for material. Well, this is what you do when you have nothing to write about. Just make something up, or do something else. For me, I've had the chance to talk to a fairly inspirational guy known as Aroduc, and he told me to write about nothing, so I did.

Before I start, I'm sure most of you have noticed the extra column on the right side. I'm drawing up a few new additions for this site, such as a badly needed gallery, perhaps a flash portal and some other cool things I always wanted to have on my own website. I've been setting up sites as long as I can remember. My biggest problem was maintenance. I never had the discipline nor the committment to actually keep a site running constantly. Because of not having updated a site for a long time, I became discouraged and stopped updating anyway, and it just kept falling in on itself until I eventually abandoned the site. Eventually the site would be taken down, and all traces of it vanish into the mists of history.

I was running around in the concrete forests in Real Life 2 trying to do the 'Become fit and healthy' sidequest and suddenly encountered a boss monster! This seems like it's going to be a long long battle. So I'll be right back!
I've been doing a bit of practicing lately, by trying to draw stuff that's already been drawn by others. However, this picture has been around for ages, product of a sudden inspiration, and victim of sudden slackness. But now, I've finally taken the paper out back out of the dusty expanding file (yes. that's dust on my monitor. Spring cleaning is in order), scanned it, and re-lined it on the computer. Try guessing who the characters are. You can't call yourself a real anime fan if you don't know any of them.
Thank you minna-san for visiting my blog! And for those of you who commented on my "articles" HONTOUNI ARIGATOU (meaning: Thank you very much, for those of you not so inclined). This blog has been going for a year and 9 months now, and there were times when I tried to start something (lucky star comics) but never really continued it, and sometimes, my post count just went down to 0 for a whole month, but I've never for once decided to forsake my blog! From now on a DAILY EPIC POST IS THE TARGET. YES, THE FORCE IS WITH THE BLOG, MAY THE BLOG CARRY ME IN ALL CHALLENGES! Okay, enough lame talk. Alright, since so many people have visited my blog, I'm sure everyone wants to know who else has come here too, and what they use, so let's look at some of the statistics collected since the dawn of my site.
