First, arigato #animeone @ irc.aniverse.com for releasing Onegai Teacher OVA some time after my last update.  My 'reverse-karma' does it again. =P  Hearing Mizuho crying again was very soothing.  
I'm glad to see that AnimeDaisuki is back.  I'm more happier to see that a sequel to Onegai Teacher is said to be coming soon.  I still have my doubts that it's a sequel to OT because it list the name as 'Oshiete Series 2.'  Nonetheless, it's a nice rumor.  Another good rumor listed there...Fruits Basket Season 2.  'Nuff said. ~_^  
I have come to like Kitsune, Motoko, and Haruka from the manga, and now I appreciate them more in the anime.  Najica looks like an anime that crossed Noir's ladies in a 'James Bond' type missions with Mahoromatic's ecchi.  Very nice combo IMO.  ^_^
Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I hope to finally buy the Fruits Basket DVD.

I got some Love Hina manga today.  Best Buy didn't have Fruits Basket DVD.  I was hoping that they released it earlier than the date it was suppose to come out.  O well, I guess I'll have to wait until the 31st to get it.  I'm more depressed than usual today.  Someone hurry up a sub of the Onegai Teacher OVA ALREADY!!! >.<

I received my Newtype USA magazine today.  It totally kicks ass.  It clears up some things about the .hack//Infection game characters and the .hack//Sign characters.
Naruto and Witch Hunter Robin continue on their roads of reaching the top of my list.

I finally got my English class changed.  However, I wanted my class to go to a lower level, but it ended up going to an AP English class.  -_-'  Now, after my brain is somehow released from its current super-lazy state, I will go get some web space.  Estimated time of completion:  Between end of December 2002 and July 2004.

I've finished watching Kare Kano.  It's still #1 despite more recaps and the ending.  Now I must get the manga.  As I thought, Sakura Haruno from Naruto, has become one of my favorite characters.  Naruto is now running as a contender for the list of favoirte animes.

I've seen the previews for the FFX Yuna side-story game.  I really hope they do one for FF VII.

I added another quote. Go check it out. =P

Kare Kano had 1 and a half episodes worth of stupid recaps.  Currently waiting on 17 to finish downloading on KaZaA.  -_-'  Kare Kano is still on top though.  I've even heard that the ending is fucked up.  Considering the man who made Evangelion, also made this, I think I am going to love the ending.  =P  I downloaded a few Kare Kano AMVs, so I think I might have figured out what the ending is, but I'm not going to go as far as looking up the ending.  For this series, I want it to be spoiler free for me.

When I graduate from high school in about 2 years, I had planned on moving out.  Now, it's not a plan anymore.  It's a fact.  Both my parents work hard, and yet, they still find enough energy to bitch to me about all sort of mind-numbing things.  I have a very dysfunctional family.  I currently live with a father, mother, a piece of shit(brother), and 1 dog.  My father works very hard in the restaurant business.  His flaws: he demands perfection.  He bitches on a monthly basis about how every decision I make is what I decide for my future.  Then he goes off yelling and bitching about all kinds of stupid things.  Examples:  1.  Back when GeForce3 were barely getting out to the public, I got myself a GeForce2.  I crank it up to the best resolution I can with the monitor.  He looks at my screen and sees such small fonts.  He goes off about how my sight is going to be worsened and such and such.  Unfortunately, at the time, I knew my eye sight had already worsened and needed to get stronger lenses.  I had to go back to a paltry 800*600 resolution and then go get new glasses.  When I do get new glasses, my father also gets new glasses!  What the fuck is this shit?  2.  A month or two ago, I drove my mother around to get some supplies for her hair stuff.  I get pretty exhausted from driving and go home.  I then tell my father that I'm too tired to drive when we have to go out again.  He forces me to drive and yells and bitches at every mistake I do and starts rambling about some person he knows that got killed because he didn't know about cars and the real world.  3.  Just today, I simply tell my father that tomorrow I'm going to take a PSAT and I have to go to school about an hour early.  He then asks if I'm ready for the test.  I tell him that I am.  He then starts bitching and yelling at me saying that I think 'I'm the best' and 'I don't need to study' and that I should be studying every day.  He says I shouldn't be watching anime and playing games. This alone shows that he obviously knows nothing about who I am!  I don't give a shit about being the best.  The educational software he gets for us is pretty useless.  None of it coincides with the stuff I'm forced to listen to at school.  As for anime and games, they are pretty much all that I have for escaping the 'real' world.  Evaluation for father:  Good manager, learner, a real 'Mr. Fixit.'  Fucking sucks at raising someone who is wiser than him though.  Also, his temper turns him stupid very easily.
My mother, what can I say?  She is the equivalent of a stereotypical 'blonde.'  She good at cooking, shopping, and talking.  Somewhat good at cleaning, but complete idiot when it comes to modern medicine and technology.  Evaluation of mother:  Number 2 person that I like best in the house.
Piece of shit(brother).  I got so many examples of his idiocy.  It would be a waste of time to list any of them.  100% hate going on right here.  Currently has ranking of #3 of my 'hate' list.  Combine the stupidity of my mother with the temper of my father, and you got yourself one dumb piece of shit.
My dog's name is Nala.  Named after Nala from Disney's The Lion King.  Number 1 being I love in this house.  She doesn't get stupider or smarter.  She has it the easiest in the house.  I envy her.  =P

My family knows I have this site.  Neither my father nor mother have asked me for the address of it to go take a look.  If they ever read this, I hope it enlightens them somewhat.  I got tons of patience, but I will not willingly stay at the side of stupidity.  With or without their aid, I'm getting myself out of this shithole.

My bitching has only begun...

I watched 3 episodes of Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou(His and Her Circumstances) today.  I love Yukino Miyazawa!  On the day Saikano becomes #2, it gets bumped to #3.  Onegai Teacher gets #2 now, and Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou gets slot #1!  After 2 episodes I already decided it would take the top spot.  Something incredibly stupid must happen in the anime to bump it down/off the list(ex. Recap episode. -_-').  Stupid eBay.  The time I really want HK DVDs, the only sellers of Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou only accept PayPal.  >.<

I finished Saishu Heiki Kanojo today.  It has taken the #2 spot on my all time favorites list.  The ending was very well done.  I would really like to read the manga sometime.  I have just finished reading Volumes 12, 13, and 14 of Love Hina also.  Having watched the Saikano ending and reading the Love Hina manga ending, I am in desperate need of some Pocky.  Ah, depression, wonderful isn't it? =P

GetBackers is fun to watch.  GitSSAC is okay. Haven't noticed any special.  It might end up like Final Fantasy Unlimited for me.  IE, I'll watch most of it in one sitting some time in a few months.  Naruto still looking good after episode 2.  In the previews, the name of the girl with pink hair is given.  Sakura looks like a character I might like a lot.  I look forward to the next episode. ^_^

• Verizon...
Posted By: Shoju on October 9, 2002 7:01 P.M. (PST)

Search around broadband sites, and you're bound to find the story about Verizon.  The RIAA wants information about a certain user who they believe is sharing thousands of copyrighted files.  Verizon wants to protect the identity of this person and is going to court for it...Finally, Verizon is doing something right for a change.  The RIAA and MPAA can all go die together.  Piracy is here, and it's going to stay for a very long time.  =P
As a silent pirate myself, I am glad Verizon is stepping up to protect this person(could be me =\ ).  While I am a pirate, I never make any real profit from it.  I burn stuff only if they provide the CDs, otherwise I charge only for the CD/DVD-R. =P

I should be getting a class change sometime next week hopefully.  After that, I can see what I can do for a webhost.

Some more new anime have been fansubbed.  Spiral is not entertaining as far as the first episode is concerned.  Only thing I like about it is the main character's sister.  GetBackers looks good from the opening.  Same goes for Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex.  I'll be watching these 2 sometime later today.

Just watched Naruto.  It looks very good.  Fun and serious first episode.  I forgot to mention that Tokyo Underground 21 was a very nice episode.  Rumina buys some earings for Chelsea and tells her she looks cuter when she has femine things on. ^_^  I hope Ruri dies so Chelsea and Rumina can get together. =P

Gomen Ayumi-sama, I had to get started on C++ books that day.  Ayu-sama has compensated me.  On 9/27, I finally went to get a new burner.  My old one crashed my system when I went to open the CD tray. -_-  Anyways, my dad let me buy a game and I got Kingdom Hearts!  I finished the game today and the short animation, during the end credits, of Cid presenting Cloud to Aerith is soooo worth going through the game.  The game itself is very fun and challenging.  Do not start with 'they messed up the Final Fantasy characters so the game is crap' shit.  I am a fucking FF7 fanboy.  I don't give a shit that they changed what they wear.  Cid is perhaps the only one that was totally fucked up.  No cussing and no cigs make him not what the real Cid Highwind is all about.  Other than him, everyone is fine.  Whether you like Cloud for taking some of Vincent's clothing, or Squall changing his name to Leon is up to you.  It is so fucking stupid that people think the FF characters are messed up because they don't look like what they look like in their original game.  Kingdom Hearts took many worlds and altered every storyline.  This a fun game that isn't for some 5 year old kid.  Show me 5 yr old kid that can kick Sephiroth's ass and I'll change my mind. =P

Ai Yori Aoshi has finished and the ending was okay.  Overall, I give the series a 8.5 out of 10.  I would have liked to have seen everyone's reaction to finding out that Kaoru and Aoi are really fiancιes.  Meh.

Also, this site has hit 20,000 hits.  Yay for me. ^_^

Ayumi Hamasaki-sama turns 24 today.  ^_^
I might work on a small Photoshop text later today at school.
Omedetou Ayumi-sama.
