The Good of the Many...

Based on input from a few readers, the new template is a qualified success. Most have agreed that it was time for a change, and some have pointed out that it's positively cheery compared to its predecessor. I made some additional changes in order to please as many of the commenters as I could, but you can't please everyone, hence the title above. Some did not like the color of the text, others wanted it to be less dark, and still others thought it should have naked BCPs in each post. Ok, actually that was my idea, but the boys down in Legal say there's some kind of consent form that the girls would all have to sign. I would think that just coming into my room would be consent enough...

At any rate, there are a few kinks to iron out still - like a few more blogs to add to the Redeemed and the Sinners, and a little problem with the date of each post not being displayed, and a bit of an issue with the RSS feeds. I'm planning another session of code monkeying tomorrow afternoon, and I hope I can call it done after that.

I also spent quite a while today fighting with the new template for my other blog, 100 Pounds. I have revamped my workout schedule, so I decided to revamp my training log as well. It will now include more than just the facts and figures of my workouts. I'll be adding pictures and videos, as well as sharing my experiences as I get back into the martial arts (I have joined an MMA studio here in Black Vatican City - your prayers for my safety are welcomed).

The Spring Break goes well so far...

Listen to that song--it is guaranteed to make your spring break approximately 8.239% better.

When do we get new questions?

Put a black pope in front of the flash and it will look like a halo!
I am so light-phobic I actually wince at photographs of light (I'm crazy)

Bagel,
The song was fine, but the links on that page are insane. "Teacher uses stun gun to kidnap 12 year old girl" and "Woman bathes family with breast milk" were my favorites so far... What exactly IS wrong with the Japanese? Shinze? Clay? Anybody?

Bagel and His Sinfulness,

Well, you could watch some Japanese animes like:
いぬかみっ! [Inukami!],
かのこん [Kanokon],
かんなぎ: Crazy Shrine Maidens [Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens],
こどものじかん [Kodomo no Jikan], and so on,
if you want to see more Japanese (fun) craziness.

I'm sure you can watch these animes on Youtube.

Linus said...

Thanks Hamster,

Um... I watched a bit of Crazy Shrine Maidens. The theme song was translated...

"Even though you won't dare to hold my hands
You put on a front saying "follow me."
You've grown taller but I love you.

It's still too plain; even the kiss is plain.
If I take off my shoes and pants and dive in
It'll still be plain: that's love is, really.
Realizing that, I'll show
My warm "one two three" only to you.
Softly, hard day, my game; I'm mesmerized."

WHAT? This isn't helping...

Linus said...

Oh - I watched some more...

Right after the theme song, a cute girl in a very short skirt exploded out of a wooden statue and lectured the main male character on Shinto animism...

Mayren said...

i neeeed to watch this anime!

Linus said...

I needed to watch this anime - with an interpreter...
