Vision

Weekly Re-Cap
It's Saturday morning, and I'm taking it slow and easy. It's been a full week, and it seems I've not spent a lot of time at home. Or when I was home I was studying. So today I'm staying in. All day. It'll be nice to relax, but I've also got housecleaning and blogging...

Another Good Manga Outreach Article…

Is it Friday again already? Life seems to be moving pretty fast these days. The days fill up quickly and the next thing you know it, another week has passed. It makes these Weekly Re-Caps hard to write. But here goes. This week I'll talk about my new routine... I'm...
Zach Motts Invades Nagoya!
This past weekend, as I mentioned before, Zach came to Nagoya. I had the task of being his tour guide, which was kind of nice, because it gave me someone to do some site-seeing with (the locals, just like back home, take local landmarks for granted). We met up...
