Xanga is down again

P

reviously, when Xanga went down, the whole site crashed. Now, the site seems to be working but it won't allow comments, which is sad. (ToT) Oh well, can't be helped I suppose. But I do have this site, and any and everyone can comment here. You don't have to have Blogspot account to comment, although it will post as "anonymous" if you don't leave your name.

I suppose it is just as well that Xanga is down, since I actually have a ton of work to do. Besides the paper that is due at the end of the month, I have to pull some roots out of the ground from a nasty tree/bush that love to extend its roots everywhere. I want to dig it out and plant something else. Well, actually "I" don't want to do it, M does. She has a green thumb, sorta. But mine is absloutely black. Everything I touch dies...

Also want to go see some movies. I haven't heard too many good things about "Howl's Moving Castle" by Myazaki Hayao, but I figure to go see it anyway, if I can find a screening that is in Japanese and not dubbed in English. Unfortunately, since most anime is targeted to children, most are dubbed. Ugh. maybe the Cinema Arts in Fairfax, which specializes in foreign/independent films. If not, then maybe I'll see "Batman Begins". I've yet to hear anything bad about this flick. It stars Christian Bale who I just saw in The Machinist, a wierdly interesting film about guilt and how it plays with the mind. Coincidentally, Bale also voices one of the characters in "Howl's Moving Castle." I guess he's the new up and coming star.

Everyone have a good weekend and let's hope that Xanga gets fixed soon.

I loved "Howl"! Although I *ahem* dl'ed it and watched a pretty bad fansub. It isn't exactly on par with "Spirited Away," but it was still very enjoyable. I just had a slight problem with the end.

I haven't seen movies in theater in a long long long time. Heck, can you believe I haven't seen STARS WARS ROTS yet? Oh well...maybe I'll just wait when the dvd comes out.

Hope xanga is fixed soon but this blogspot of yours is really nice too. You've done a lot of touch-up to it ;) Still, have you thought about onigirimanrocks.com and Wordpress?

this is the first time i've seen it down....ever =/ i hope you have everything backed up somewhere on your computer cause all those entries should be recorded somewhere (perhaps you could make a book about it. you know? just a book about xanga entries you wrote. I don't think i've ever heard of anyone getting their blogs published =P
