Hello there. Welcome to my world of Random Thoughts. In this world I’ll be posting stuff about anime and manga. Not to mention various other topics. I may post the occasional music video every now and than. And from time to time, I’ll just talk about my life in general. But first, here are a few things about me.

I was born an only child, for one thing. Originally I was planning to go into art professionally, but recently I’ve been more inclined towards writing. I still do the occasional wallpaper every now and then though, and I also still draw a little. But much of my energy these days goes into writing fan fiction. I’ve also recently become interested in archive and library work, which is something I’ve discovered I’m good at. Finally, like most people on the Internet, I like cats.

Not in a Great Mood Right Now

Hi everyone. Just wanted to do a quick post to vent about a negative turn that my afternoon has taken. So for the past few weeks I've been going to Crunchyroll to stream this new anime called Izetta: The Last Witch. I should mention at this point that I don't have a premium account on Crunchyroll, so I pretty much have to watch each episode a week after it comes out and I have to sit through ads.

Well, I went to watch the previous week's episode earlier this afternoon. The actual episode started to play just fine, but then when I got to that first cluster of ads everything just froze up! I tried using a different browser, and then I tried updating my flash player. Nothing I did helped. It's like there's some video in that first cluster of ads that my computer just doesn't like. So I'm pretty much out of luck at the moment where this anime series is concerned. It really sucks because I had really started to get into this anime. I wonder if anyone else who doesn't have a premium account is having this problem?

Challenge Prize Update

Because of the elimination of the iPhone wallpaper and e-card sections here on TheO (see my previous post for details), I've now changed the prizes available for my Ladies of Tragedy wallpaper challenge.

  • The first place winner will now receive two wallpapers as a prize.
  • The second place winner will get one wallpaper and a gift.
  • And as alway, the third place winner will just get a gift.

These changes have also been made to the actual page for the challenge, but I just thought I'd do a short post to let everyone know about the change.

Startling News About TheO

Hi everyone. I don't know how many people here subscribe to TheO's online newsletter, but their latest edition just announced that they've just retired the iPhone Wallpaper and e-card sections of the site: meaning that people will no longer be ab...

Deja Vu

Hi everyone. Just thought I'd to a brief post to let everyone know how I'm doing. Things are going pretty well for me in general at the moment, though yesterday and today I've been having this odd sense of deja vu. For instance, earlier today I was trying to download this scan from Minitokyo, and I was having a hard time with it because the scan was slightly larger than 9,000 x 7,000. I tried scrolling down to see if the scan had finished loading, and my entire screen just got totally distorted. I had to totally restart my computer. Eventually I finally downloaded the scan, but after the whole ordeal was over I had this sensation that I had tried downloading that exact same scan once before. Maybe I did do that once and just gave up on it the first time. And yesterday I had another computer problem with trying to stream something, and I got the problem solved I felt like I had experienced that exact same computer problem once before.

It just feels kinda weird. Anyway, that's pretty much what's been going on with me lately. I hope everyone else has been having a good week so far.

Just Some Updates

Hello again everyone. Just thought I should do another post to let everyone know how I'm doing. First of all, my aunt is back from the rehab from her hip surgery. The good news is that she seems to be getting around pretty good. I visited her ...
