Sakura saku ♪
If your browser shows the title to be a mess of characters, it’s because you don’t have Japanese encoding installed.
Anyway, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. It’s been years since I’ve spent spring in Japan, and I’d forgotten how pretty they are. If you haven’t seen sakura in real life, you’d probably think, well, I suppose blooming flowers would be pretty, and have it at that. It’s not until you actually see a real sakura tree right in front of you that you can appreciate just how nice it looks. Like fluffy light pink cloud on a tree with beautifully fractal horizontal branches.
Uh, well, anyway, you know what I’m trying to say. When I used to stay in Hiyoshi, I would pass through Keio University every day to get from my house to the train station. They had a big plot full of sakura trees that was incredibly pretty. But then they cut it all down to put up a new building. *sigh*
Upcoming events

Time to start drawing up function sheet for access logs…
You know, it’s kinda lonely now that Mai-HiME has ended. The various blogs have probably settled down by now. I need to find a new anime to watch. I really like the chara designs for Speed Grapher, but it’s a GONZO anime, and the premise looks wierd. I think I’ll be watching Tsubasa Chronicle, check out the other Kajiura Yuki anime, and whatever.
In the meantime, Mai-HiME fanart and fanfic will keep us mildly entertained. Point your browsers to the Shoujoai.com forum to pick up your copy :P
