Hn, not perfectly to my liking, but good enough. For now.
After a month of frustration, I finally figured out why the archived links wouldn't show up on the left column: I didn't put in the JavaScript tag. Then more problem arose due to the incompatibility of the colours I originally set for the two columns. Using the JavaScript meant I can't specify different colour schemes for the columns (or, at least, I don't know how to), so I had to reset the whole theme to make it look presentable. I realize that it still needs some work, but I'm content to leave it the way it is now.
Paw Wow v.2, I name thee Midnight Blues (as opposed to the original Asuran Theme).

Kiddy Grade.
At first, I thought it's one of these series with fancy mech design, special CG effects, and fan service characters. I continued to think so until a few hours ago when I finished the last few episodes. True, the series has plenty of fan service shots and the pace is relatively slow until later episodes, but I enjoyed it, especially the second half. Not having seen the whole series, there are many unanswered questions, but that doesn't matter. The last battle between Deucallion and the ES-members is fascinating and exciting, at the same time beautifully done. Gonzo really is a leading company when it comes to 3D animation and CG effects. I don't quite like the female character designs, but almost everything else is nicely done. If I really have to point out its weakness, it's the lack of character depth. There're simply too many major players beside Eclair and Lumiere. While the two main characters grow as the series progresses, nothing much is done for the other characters, which is too bad because those other characters can provide much depth and prospective to the story.
Granted, Kiddy Grade probably is not making my list of top 20 anime, but there are a few episodes which I like a lot, and some themes displayed throughout the series are touching and moved me. An entertaining series, to say the least.

Ohisashiburi desu.
One month has passed since I last posted anything due to my extremely busy schedule. What have I been doing lately? Nothing much. After the merchandising job with Brofort in Langley, I started down the path of distributor, doing door to door promotion for charities and non-profitable organizations such as Greenpeace and Canadian Mental Health Association.
Until this Sunday.
First of all, I really learned a lot during the week and a half I was working there. The team spirit was very high all the time, and the people were great. I got over the fear of ringing strangers' door bells and talking to them about donating money to charities. That was some experience! However, this job requires a full 8-hour on the field and takes up over 12 hours of my time everyday. As someone living with the family and also has a church life as well as web life, my time was reduced drastically. Plus, summer is coming and we'll be getting busy for some community evangelism! As a result, I had no choice but to discontinue being a distributor.
All in all, I really enjoyed my time at Bottomline Productions; I'm not closing the door yet.
