I have an issue that I must speak out against.  I think people who either 1) do not exist or 2) have died should not be allowed to vote in an election.

Yes, I've been absent here for quite some time. While I've been devoting myself to my studies, it has payed off!

I've been reading some of Love Hina by Ken Akamatsu and I must say that I find it amusing. Here's a brief summary of the plot: the protagonist, Keitaro Urashima, is trying to keep a childhood promise (made fifteen years ago) by getting into Tokyo U.

Well, I still have some emails to weed through (I am so sick of people asking me if I'd like to increase the size of my penis).
