Minor Thoughts on the End of Saimoe 2008

Christmas in June

Sooo… I just got my first paycheck. I take back anything bad I ever might have said about Mickey D’s, because now I can fund my otaku hobby more aggressively than ever before! At the risk of sounding overly self-satisfied, it’s Christmastime here at Taishou! And I’ve already put something wonderful under my tree. What could it …

Well, it didn’t take long for things to get exciting around here. Yesterday I took a trip to Washington, D.C. with everyone from CAINE to celebrate the Sakura Matsuri (the National Cherry Blossom Festival for those who don’t Moonspeak).
