Ok, Yaoi Twincest fans, listen up. Some of you may have found contradictions in one of my early articles, but I wrote that a LONG time ago. You want to hear my more recent views on that particular issue?

So my twin brother is home for the holidays, and this time he might actually acknowledge I exist. Currently I’m helping him play Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on my DS while I sit at my computer writing.
Feeling under the weather
June 20th, 2009 — Anime Blogging, Yuki Nagato, sickness
Ok, so I got checked out at the hospital, and my cold/flu turned out not to be swine flu. I’ve been sick for about two days now, and the delirious dreams I’ve been having are getting weird.
Sorry I haven’t been able to update the blog much this week, I have been rather ill and the dreams where I get accosted by Oompa Loompas are not helping.
I’m just posting this to let you know where I am and why I haven’t been posting for a while, I will try and post more after this cold breaks.

So I went to a funeral today. Funerals are some of the most depressing events a family member can experience as an individual, even when you don’t know the person who died very well. The whole experience is a confusing clusterfizzle of emotions on the tragic spectrum.
Wiki of the Week: Hetalia: Axis Powers
June 11th, 2009 — Hetalia Axis Powers, Internet, Wiki Of The Week, Wikipedia
Ok, so I wanted to do a new feature for my blog called Wiki of the Week, I’ll start off with obscure to the mainstream but reasonably well known to a certain audience stuff, then I’ll work myself up to featuring Wiki articles each week which are totally off the wall.
This week it’s the Wikipedia article for Hetalia Axis Powers which explains the concept of the show a lot better than I could have explained it. It hasn’t been licensed in English yet but you can catch some of the episodes on Youtube so far.
