Sayonara Blogger…..

A bit of a lull in posting over the last week, but you now know the reason why. I’ve finally moved from wretched Blogger!
Seriously, I’ve been fed up and bored with all of Blogger’s shortcomings for ages but my technophobia prevented me from making a move. Plus, I didn’t want to pay for my own [...]

I Passed JLPT3…..

I learnt the other day that I passed JLPT3 with an OK score of 355/400 (88.75%) which is what I guess I deserve for:

The 2nd Seiyu Awards - Results

Here it is again. The results from a biased, rigged, heavily weighted (in the wrong direction) poll that favours those from the money and connection-rich institutions, who scratch the commitees’ backs and stick a few fifty-dollar bills in their back pockets. Oh wait. I got my notes for the Seiyu Awards and the Malaysian election [...]

Kobayashi Yu Goes Ape

So I caught this clip on Nicovideo the other day, which features Kobayashi Yu alternately talking like a drunk, senile grandmother and screeching like a monkey on a clip from TV Asahi’s entertainment show Tetsuko no Heya. Please don’t ask me what she is saying.
Kobayashi is well known for her ape imitations, a talent she [...]
