Hello to one and everyone! The site has been inactive for a number of reasons lately. What with having a job, a girlfriend and the usual day to day living I am a bit more strapped for time than I once was. The main reason I have not blogged, however is that honestly I really haven't been the couch potato I used to be.

Probably the biggest reason for this is the job change. I'm just not sitting on my butt in front of my laptop getting paid to watch movies until someone comes in with a broken PC. Now I sit in a cubicle doing paperwork or learning the system in-between repairing broken PC's. Despite the fancy job with the bigger salary my time and money are still limited and I really can't be the kid I used to be spending my entire check on anime and Hong Kong films.

I did, however, splurge and bought the Family Guy Freakin' Party Pack so I've been working on that rather steadily. It's strange to now be watching something in English but yet, I really can't put the show down.

The backlog still holds at 179 and has neither increased nor decreased for the last month, really. It's kind of amazing that I've been able to restrain my spending and I'm somewhat proud of myself for not getting myself a thing during the Deep Discount sale.

I have been pleased however, to find that traditional fansub distros still exist out there and I have made use of one to find some anime I've wanted for ages. Since I don't download it's great to find people offering such a service for the fans like back in the old days of 1999-2000 when I was first looking for something beyond the 20 $25 tapes sold at the local comic book shop. I'm experimenting with a bit more shoujo than I did back then when I mostly went for ecchi action/comedies like Hyper Police.

So we'll see if my anime interest rebounds or if I just lose all interest in the new stuff. Time shall tell.
