Yes, I am alive. Miss me?

I've been doing a lot of reading, lately, specifically the manga of Ken Akamatsu. This happened because I picked up Negima! on a whim at the bookstore -- it's just released, and for you manga lovers, pick it up; it's a great read, and Del Ray did a very thorough job of translation, including maintaining honorifics and translating sound effects -- it makes a huge difference. Negima! is hilarious. That being the case, I went back to earlier works -- A.I. Love You, which is a respectable first outing (it was Akamatsu-sensei's first project, and it shows, but is still good), and Love Hina. I finally understand whatr Love Hina is so popular. It's damn good.

I'm waiting to hear on the research assistant position -- still. I do have a phone interview tomorrow, and I plan to ace that. I have yet to see any mail from the Bureau of Labor and Industry, so there may be some hope that Step-by-Step isn't appealing the appeal -- and yes, they can do that, as I understand it, despite having failed to even present themselves at the last hearing.

It's funny... I was offline for days, and yet coming back, nothing at all has changed.

Back to Love Hina.
