I have been unable to sleep early since the onset of my sickness. Since I have ideas still roiling around in my head, I decided it would be best to write another post (it would also bring me closer to my aim of fifteen posts).

This book is worthless.
I gave some of my books today […]

Remember that post I wrote when I was in a state of fever? I didn’t offer anything new but tried to confirm the murkiness of Code Geass. However, I did try reading about postcolonialism by essays of established critics (as to glean more information on the literary movement where Derek Walcott belongs). I’ve read those […]

While I’m still unsure as to whether I can pull this feat off, I don’t back down on things that I’ve said: so here I go. I’m not going to write 3000-word posts everyday, but I’ll try to write morsels of thought that would hopefully bring you guys to vote for me. I tried searching […]

First and foremost, I appreciate everyone who has nominated me as Most Thought-Provoking Blog in the Anime Blog Awards. I truly appreciate the support, and I am truly grateful. I wouldn’t have been here without your support. This is certainly one of the pinnacles in my career as an anime blogger.
But it hopefully doesn’t […]

To be entirely honest, I did not expect to want to write about something today. I wrote about the impossibility of deriving meaning from Code Geass just yesterday (under my pyrexia I also cursed), and I have also completed a blog post two days before that. Honestly, I haven’t been as productive as this since […]

I’m very sure that no one delights in disease or sickness unless one’s a crackpot, which I assume no one reading this blog is. (My mind’s stoned right now, I think. I feel very high.)
Having said this, I realized that it is a boon when your mind and body are in a pyrexic, intense, and […]

Three days ago, before I got sick, I had a choice: I could either purchase The Folding Star by Alan Hollinghurst or some expensive lavender shampoo. At first glance the two seem to be disparate from one another; of course, they are. However, they shared two attributes: first, they were both involved with lavender (The […]

While I’m saddened that my confessions didn’t do too well, a bigger problem is at hand. Dreamhost, the hosting provider of Animeblogger, has threatened Maestro to shut down the blogs. Maestro said on IRC:
if they refuse to accept anything but the upgrade options we’ll have our hosting with them deleted, and that’ll wipe most of […]

I thought that I had already resolved this issue with my writing in the past, but a close friend of mine had asked me why I wrote about literature so much. I also believe I have alienated some people with regard to my writing style, use of rhetoric, or some idiosyncrasy of mine, so I […]

Every time there is a new season, bloggers come out with their first impressions of shows that have caught their attention. I often shy away from these kinds of posts because no two individual tastes are alike. Even the most similar individuals have some peculiarity and idiosyncrasy to them. I would rather test the waters […]
