Guess I too have stalking tendency. My first impulse after crossinthenight mentioned what can be canon location of Masa and Ritsu's residence (though there are problems with that detail) is to open Google Earth, Streetview mode. It feels a bit like a first person shooter game, which is not my strong suit, but it is fun to mess around with.

(Come to think of it, I ( Read more... )

Or at least it takes a lot for the pleasure of doing experiments on human. I like to think of myself as an objective scholar who observes from above for the lulz and FOR SCIENCE! but apparently I have a masochistic streak too. Otherwise I would not go through this maze. Real humans are a pain, indeed ( Read more... )

The consequence of fangirling too much :P Well, I've never thought of Kisa as being harmless, what with his manwhoring past and his exchange with that ex. However, in his latest chapter, he encountered a one-night-stand to whom he told he was a highschool student. When I finally stop and think about that, it brings up interesting questions. (1) How ( Read more... )

Obwohl freue ich mich sehr, dass Groningen nicht mehr einem Friedhof ähnlich sieht, mein Urblaub ist geendet. Kursus und Arbeit sind wieder da. Ich soll auch mein PhD Antrag vorbereiten. Und die herbslich Animesaison ist auch voll. Priorität, priorität.

 Why does a trip of pleasure always start with stress? It was a pain finding and booking hostels plus checking transportation. Er, I really should not complain because it has been a while since I have enough free time and money to get away from the doll house city I'm living in (not that I hate Groningen, but it's kind of strange staying in an ( Read more... )

Just marathon through a bunch of ep. 1 (my eyes still seeing stars from that). Looks like there will be no lack of good entertainment. Kami-sama no Memo-chou looks ambitious and the visuals are pretty, but I don't like the mood whiplash at the end. Feels really insensitive there. No. 6 seems to be good as well. It is not officially BL but the ( Read more... )

So now I'm doing something different for my traineeship: setting up an experimental project. It's not something very common in sociology, rather an economics and psychology thing (sociologists are in love with large-scale data, which is difficult in experimental setting. And ethics issue). There is also the nagging feeling that the "subjects" pool ( Read more... )

Just got curious and made a visit to the dictionary to see if there is any pattern in naming in SiH. It's not really important and rather splitting hairs but I like this kind of stuffs. Not until now have I realized the pun in Chiaki's pen name: 野 ("field") replaced by 川 ("river"), and 秋 ("autumn") replaced by 春 ("spring"). Well played. What is ( Read more... )

My host city of Groningen gives one summer day to celebrate tolerance, especially tolerance towards non-het sexual orientations. This is the so-called Roze Zaterdag (Pink Saturday) and the city gets a PINK makeover. I giggle so hard because it reminds me of the Sekaiichi pink transformation, though there is no stuffed bear or doll (on the flip side ( Read more... )
