I guess I'm happy that I'm not actually in Nagasaki for the remembrance of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Last week, we had a moment of silence for Hiroshima. I missed the moment for Nagasaki because I was attending some things with the Board of Education, but the funny thing - or not so funny - was the fact that when I asked what was going on, the teacher told me and then got an embarassed look as she remembered that yes, I'm American in spite of my Asianesque features. We laughed about it later, but it was a good thing to remember that sixty years ago, the world's first atomic bomb was exploded in two cities in the same country. And since then, there hasn't been another case. Nuclear weapons need to go dooooowwwwwnnnnnn.

And that's my little self-righteous message of the day.

In other news: I knew Harry Potter fans were crazy (I'm one of them after all, and it takes one to know one...) and this takes it to a whole new level.

Dontcha know? Asians are meek and subservient. They'll take all the crap thrown at them and then ask for more.

*kicks things*

I'll be updating the master Yaoi manga list soon; there's been enough additions to the market to warrant an upgrade. =) That makes me rather happy.

In short news: Comiket 68 is happening this weekend, but I don't think there's any way I can make it. I'm still trying to get a feel around the area and the idea of getting to Tokyo and manuevering around 500,000 fans to take a looksee makes me feel a little faint. But no worries! I've met a couple of people in Toyama who are into anime/manga too, and I have a feeling that we'll be planning a trip to Tokyo for Winter Comiket. Hopefully. Right, lebateleur?

I'm bumping into some of the best people at this job. =)
