Anyway,it's pretty much down to the "Fungeon" chapter in Dragon Quest IV.Additionally,both Dragon Quest V and its strategy guide have arrived(though ordered from different Amazon Marketplace sellers)have arrived though I've yet to start a quest log in that game...

Additionally,I'm getting into the anime version of Mitsuru Adachi's Slow Step featuring Kappei-sama,some decent josei_seiyuu(Minami Takayama,Chika Sakamoto,and others),and some early Hikaru Midorikawa(this may not have necessarily been his debut voice role).At least Akiba Shuu-sama isn't the confused playboy character here...

Making a round trip from home to Oto's and back earlier today,I managed to twice ride a train past the aftermath of what was ultimately a deadly incident between 2 commercial vehicles that got the attention of every news organization.Just another reason I'm unlikely to ever trust myself behind the wheel enough to even consider learning to drive.There are enough Cracker Jack box-licensed drivers on California's roads right now as it is.I bet at least a small percentage of the early-release inmates had commited traffic-related offenses,and the outgoing Governator wants to screw public transit in California one last time before he gets termed out.It shouldn't have to come to ditching the 916 for the Bay or El Lay;but in any case,it can't really be blamed on anyone who voted to keep Gray Davis in the Governors Mansion.I always use common sense at the polls,but common sense doesn't always prevail on any given Election Day...

Anyway,Happy birthday to both Ayano Matsumoto Niina(who turns 22)and Haruka Tomatsu(who turns 20 and has reached legal adulthood in Japan)...
