Random Curiosity v4.0 August 27
Welcome to Random Curiosity version 4.0!
This site is now powered by Wordpress 2.0.4, and the theme has been changed to Water, created by The Undersigned. This is a much more minimalist theme than the previous Boredom! , but I rather like it. Some of you may recognize that the header image is Louise Françoise de La Baume Le Blanc de La Vallière from Zero no Tsukaima - specifically, it’s an image from the second novel.
But I’m sure the question on everyone’s minds is what I’m doing transforming this site after I went on my “Break.” The answer is simple: I’ve been incredibly bored. The first week of school has been relatively uneventful and so I’ve been sitting around twiddling my thumbs for most of this time. I did manage to finish Xenosaga III, and that’s partially what motivated me to work on this. That game had such a great ending that I really wanted to blog about it, but I felt like I couldn’t because I had put this site on hiatus. In retrospect, my mistake was probably thinking that it was better not to write anything at all rather than to cut back on the writing.
Anyway, I am back now, but in a limited form: I am both cutting back on what I write about and how much I write. In other words, less series and shorter entries, though it depends on the show and how much free time I have on any given day (for example I doubt my Blood+ entries will get any shorter). Some shows may just get screencaps along with a few summary points and my initial thoughts. I can’t say yet what shows I’ll still be writing about and what I won’t be; it’ll all depend on how my schedule for these next few weeks works out. In addition, I won’t be making up for everything that I missed - think of it as me literally having taken a break/vacation for the past week. And the warning here is that as the months progress, entries may or may not become sparse. Basically there are no guarantees for anything like there was before. I still really don’t know how much time I’ll need to be spending on my classes and my research work yet, but it’s probably going to be a lot. Still, the point is that I have free time right now that’s completely going to waste, and I hate sitting idly with nothing to do.
I also realized that it would probably be best for the site and my readers if I didn’t do this alone anymore. So, if you’ve wanted to write about anime and you think you have the time & motivation, then consider this an opportunity to blog on a site that has an established readership in the tens of thousands. I’m going to be a bit lenient on language skill, so if you really are a good writer with a lot of time & motivation, I won’t necessarily ask you to write about raw anime. Interested? Send me an email (see the Contact Me page). Please include a sample entry on the series of your choice: no screencaps needed, just a write-up – you could follow my format and do a summary + thoughts, or you could do something creative. Surprise me.

Welcome Back!!!I’m glad that you decided to continue this site… It’s really ok for me that you will have shorter entries. Having this site on complete hiatus makes my day not the same… I’m looking forward to your Blood+ entries… By the way, like the new look of your site…

lol, welcome back. limited has its merits too!

Omni you’re back! That’s great!
Since you’re back, may I suggest a few pointers :
- Keep the screencaps, it doesn’t matter if it has a summary or not
- Keep the summary in point form if you didn’t want to write long paragraphs, if the episode does have a summary. They are more than enough to get the episode summarised
And those that are interested in helping Omni, good luck! Omni does need help afterall.

Welcome back! I knew you were going to be back, but I didn’t think this fast! How about a list of the show you think you going to blog? I am sure you going to do Zero and Blood but besides that I don’t know what else.
Alugar at 1:22 am on August 27th, 2006
yay! I usually don’t comment at all, but since you’re back, I’ll make an exception
hahaha you’ve been doing a great job this entire time!
I miss seeing what comes out from your site T.T
Anyways, I would help with blogging, but I only get to see from sub groups XD
on top of that, school didn’t start for me yet, so I’ll see how things turn out
I love School Rumble ~ that’s something I’m motivated about, as for time, not sure yet..
