It's been a while since I last posted anything here. My busy *cough* daily life being one of the reasons, but the suspending state of my gremz tree also plays a big part.

I don't know why, but no matter how much or how often I write (notice the short burst of posts back in March?), the thing just won't grow! I've seen other people's trees flourishing just fine on their Blogger page so I don't think it's due to incompatibility with Blogger. Is it because I went in and changed too much of the layout code and screwed up somewhere? The possibility of this is actually rather high so I'm not going to probe further for now. Before I figure out how to properly make the tree grow, I'm going back to my previous habit of updating when I remember. Or unless I find some other blog pet to keep...

Oh, in case anyone noticed, I've updated the Vocaloid player on the side with a couple of new songs, including ones by Megumine Luka! :)

Now that's over with, let's get on with this month's summary post!

First off, GO CANUCKS GO!! XD
I doubt we'll advance very far judging from the first round performance, but I still want to cheer the team on. After all, I became a Canucks fan during the '94 play-off.

BTW, the last snow of the 2009 winter fell on April Fool's Day. How humorous is our God... XD

April marks the start of another new batch of anime and drama shows. Of course, I'm so far behind that I'm not even attempting to finish the last batch from January. Still, I've been busy catching up and re-watching various series. I haven't really started on the new ones yet, but there's a couple that I've been really looking forward to since the news of them came out. I'll make another post on this later.

(Why did I start playing Super Robot Wars J yesterday? I'll never get around to watch all the shows at this rate... orz)

I bought a whole bunch of stuff on my monthly ACG shopping trip. Unfortunately, the NDS Gundam game that I wanted was already gone... But I still managed to get quite a few items of choice, including Sound Horizon's Moira!

I'm seriously thinking of starting the translation project I've been planning, especially with all the new books I've been buying...
