I'm so sorry!!

  • Aug. 7th, 2007 at 1:05 PM

Wow, its been 5 weeks since I last updated!  I'm so sorry everyone!   First,  I started having computer problems & then I've been having to work more than usual due to lack of staff ::cries.

But I promise I will make it my priority within the next fews days to catch up with the updating.  I know how much it sucks to get into a manga & not be able to continue it.

Sorry!!

  • Jun. 29th, 2007 at 2:39 PM

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile.  Its been a rough week for me.  We have been short of staff up at my school, & therefore I've had to work longer & actually do work at work (I know, I know craziness!)
This weekend I plan on updating a few of the series, so look forward to it!

    Well I noticed that my hard drive was getting very very low.  I only could free up like maybe 5 GB of space on my MacBook.  I tried deleting alot of stuff, but of course alot you just dont want to get rid of ; )  So today I invested in a 320GB hard drive! I was thinking, I'm wasting my summer working, so why not treat myself : )  So you guys will probably be seeing a lot more manga!  Hopefully I got myself a good one.  It's small & it was a very good price, so lets see if it works out!
   
    Question:  Has anyone had any experience with a Western Digital - My Book esstential hard drive?  B/c that's what I got & it seems some have had trouble, but others love it.  Ugh! i'm so confused!  I'm asking b/c it started to mess up after I plugged it in & now its making me nervous.  I've been looking for a good external hard drive thats not too expensive & some say use one brand, but others would be like no that one sucks use this one.  It seems like there really isn't a good brand : (  I'm not looking to really back up my whole computer, I just want some extra storage!  I've looked @ Lacie & Maxtor also, but I still see mixed reviews...
   
    Speaking of MacBooks, if you have a white one as I do, you may have noticed that it starts to get pretty dirty.  Well, an ITS guy at my school told me today to try a Mr. Clean Magic eraser & behold he was right!  So if you're having the same problem, instead of paying for over priced cleaner just use this!  My baby looks brand new!

Things are looking up when he and his friend meet up with two cute Tokyo girls; too bad the girls brought them to a rip-off bar and took off! Ditched by his one remaining friend and stuck with an impossibly high bar bill, Fuku-kun's life couldn't get any worse! But just then he gets saved by Ume, his role model and former cheerleading squad captain! What is he doing in Tokyo... and why does everyone around seem to know and respect him? Without anywhere else to go, Fuku-kun decides follow Ume to his job, only to discover that... he's a male gigolo?!? Fukuda's summer of cheering others on has begun... and the steets of Tokyo's red-light district will never be the same!

When he moves to Tokyo to attend school, he finds himself living in a dormitory with five girls, each of which possesses one of the ideal physical features he desires: gorgeous blue eyes, bullet-train breasts, a deep dulcet voice, straight "anime-esque" legs, or a waistline shaped like fine Japanese pottery. How can he manage to keep his wits when surrounded by these women? If you think this sounds like a Love Hina clone, you wouldn't be entirely incorrect...but Hachibei ain't Keitaro.

    A young man finds and returns a lost wallet and cell phone to a beautiful young lady, thus begins the destined relationship between two strangers. Sound typical? Well then, how about making the young lady the young man’s future homeroom teacher, and give them both a twisted sense of right and wrong. And just for kicks, let’s have the young man help himself to a self proclaimed reward from the lost wallet before returning it…but of course, this scenario wouldn’t be complete unless the young lady was very unforgiving when it came to teaching one of her students a lesson on morals.

[From Mangascreener]:
Suzuki is a troubled boy. He's lived with uncaring foster parents for most of his life, alienated from the other kids at his school, owner of a cynical, unhappy mentality. Komatsuzaki is a violent, unpredictable bully whose head trauma causes him to act in mysterious, inexplicable ways. Arakawa is a no-nonsense, normal girl who pines after Komatsuzaki but can never have him. A teacher with just one working eye. A mother who committed suicide. A daughter in an endless coma. Attempted rapes, murders, extortion, sexual deviance, and a freakish explosion in the butterfly population. All of these elements are whirled together in a story spanning 10 years, a tale of blackness, pain and apocalypse. And maybe just a bit of hope and redemption.
