Momoi butchers classic anisongs

Picked up 4 episodes of Uramomoi, a new weekly radio show that Halko hosts late at night. Although it's not as feature-packed or organized as KOTOKO's show on Air-G, it's still very cute and has many funny moments. She answers fan mail, takes requests for songs (and she's pretty damn good, if she's really improvising all those requests on the spot), and talks about the various things going on in her career. I suggest all other Momoi fans to make an effort to catch at least one episode. Even if you can't understand a word, you'll find yourself enjoying it.

Not convinced?

Koi no Milkyway

Today I was sent an incredibly awesome and very rare file: an old UNDER17 promotional video produced by Nakid! It is by far the cutest music video I have ever seen (the song is called "Koi no Milkyway"). There are just so many things that are perfect about this video: the bewildered anime nerd, the body pillow, the absolutely over-the-top false enthusiasm and subtle insanity in Momoi's smile...ah it's all just too great. Words cannot describe the coolness of this thing..you'll just have to see for yourself. Temporary Download Link.

I love this woman.

I got some mail

This morning consisted of cramming in stats homework minutes before class (which came out sloppy and terrible and I'm sure I probably won't even get half credit for it), struggling to stay awake in every other class after the incredibly boring stats lecture, pulling out my remaining already-grayed hair trying to write an essay for another class the same afternoon, and then when I was sure I was done with the day...waking up to discover I had only been dreaming about doing the above mentioned tasks and then having to do them again, only this time for real, plus I slept fifteen minutes past the time I set on my alarm.

BUT, nothing can bring me down now, for I have come back to the dorm only to discover Belldandy in my mailbox. Ahhh I love high quality PVC figures. I'm leaving this one unopened for now to admire it throught the box, and it is now sitting on my shelf between my two unopened Moetan figures (pictures of said shelf coming when I get my camera back).

Getting mail is best thing to cheer someone up in the whole world.

Paranda.net to-do list:
1. Import Bio and Discworld pages.
2. Find and fix the search results template.
3. Customize RSS feed template.
4. Somehow fix borders problem that appears on the Halko page in Internet Explorer.
5. (Maybe) Set up and customize comments system.

Notepad

With the help of Notepad++ and a lot of hair pulling, I think I have finally managed to transfer over almost all of the content. XHTML is extremely awesome. I am going to go look up some books on this stuff.

First thing to go back up is of course my UNDER17 page. Can't ditch Halko :)

Paranda.net now using Moveable Type

Spent the last few hours rebuilding the old template into XHTML. Paranda.net is now running on blog software. MoveableType did everything I used to do, except it's doing it 100 times faster. I'll try using this for a while. Hopefully I am not opening up any massive security holes by converting so blindly like this.
