Woot! The blog is celebrating its 2nd year anniversary today, Friday the 13th. 13 is an eerie number don’t you think? Who knows, I might actually be a ghost blogger. In the years to come a legend will be told about a ghost blogger named shinji who roams the anime blogosphere in search for his lost blog. Now there’s a good plot lol. Anyway, ghost or not, I’d like to thank all the commentors and visitors of this blog for the support. Once again, the blog has stayed true to its vision of being a happy-go-lucky-anything-goes-anime-blog. So expect more lazy blogging from me hehe. Kidding aside, minna-san arigatou gozaimasu!

This is a response to Manga’s challenge which is simply to tell 8 facts about yourself. It doesn’t take a deep self-reflection to point out some peculiar things about one’s self but I got to tell something more than my declared adoration for Kintaro Oe’s perversion intelligence. I told Manga this seems to be a fun exercise and it surely is, it’s like introducing yourself to a new pen pal or filling up a slum book. So without further ado, here goes my 8 short facts:
1. I started wearing eyeglasses about 10 years ago and my nearsightedness gets worse every year. So just look at Itoshiki sensei minus the spikes and that rope around his neck, and you’ll get an idea.
2. I work for a bank; not the coolest and highest paying job out there but it helps me live by comfortably. I find it odd that my office buddies and I never get tired of discussing Naruto during lunch breaks and how cool his rasen shuriken was. My boss will soon realize he hired a bunch of otakus.
3. I suck at basketball but I play ping pong pretty well.
4. My most favorite Japanese and Korean movies are: Tada Kimi Wo Aisheteru and Il Mare, respectively.
5. I love Magic the Gathering card game. I still play with my old goblin deck with my friends and cousins.
6. I’d like to learn photography, Macro photo in particular. I’m trying to save up for the proper lens which is quite expensive the last time I checked.
7. I rarely read novels but I love Paulo Coehlo and Haruki Murakami’s works. Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is so far the best book I’ve read.
8. I’m a lazy blogger.
