Other than running a group for TWO-MIX,
I am part of groups for Akino
Arai and tea.

I occasionally submit lyrics to the site. You can also find me sometimes
in either the "Lyrics
Discussion" board or "Japanese"
board.

...Chonmageman's
Precociously Pink Manga Page
www.oocities.org/chonmageman
My apologies. The long site-name is all my fault... My sister's page about
manga and shitajiki and other "pink" (?) things. Still under
construction but cute.
...Risu-chan's
Nest
www.skwerlyonline.com/risuchansnest.html
My sister's friend's page, featuring her manga-style artwork. She also
happens to be a "skwerl"/hamster/rodent fanatic. Go feed her slightly
rude Flash hammy.
...AKUI
(of ill intent)
www.ill-intent.com
Another friend's site, featuring his manga-style artwork. He may seem
evil (re: site name), but he can be nice too. He is now going to kill
me for typing what I just did...
...Japanese
Popculture Rankings and Subculture FAQ
homepage2.nifty.com/kannagi
A site of a friend in Japan. Probably the only site currently on the net
that offers in English a Japanese view of various things related
to manga and animé.
...Obscure
and Underrated Animé... for Dummies!
www1.aninet.engine.ca:1080/OUA/OUA_main.html
A site about well the title of the site sums it up. They currently
cover "Mahotsukaitai!" and "Gokudoukun Manyuuki".

...Macdonald
Campus of McGill University
www.mcgill.ca/macdonald
Where I did my undergrad. Lots of people know McGill but don't know about
this "other" lovely campus. This
is what I studied.
...Fantasia
Film Festival
www.fantasiafest.com
A film festival held annually in Montréal (Canada) that is dedicated
mainly to non-mainstream films from around the world. Great stuff. I was
able to attend a few showings while I was still in the city.
...University
of Toronto
www.utoronto.ca
Where I did my Master's. When I was in highschool, I never even *dreamed*
I would study here, in my hometown! But, I did... This
is what I studied.
...Kikiwai
www.kikiwai.com
A store in Toronto (Canada) that satisfies my cravings for manga and animé
collectables and I don't mean the usual laminated posters and wall
scrolls. Without them, I would still be just dreaming...

...Coolhomepages.com
www.coolhomepages.com
A great place to start at if you are looking for inspiration and enlightenment
in web design. My two favourite sites that I discovered here are K:E:I:C:O:N
and Orange Design.
...netdiver
www.netdiver.net
I found out about this one more recently. Just like coolhomepages.com,
you can find many excellent site designs in their collection. This site
seems to have a more "arts-y" slant.
...PIXTURE
STUDIO
www.pixture.com
Tons of beautiful icons, created "for fun" by the webmaster.
And a simple but nice site design to boot. Check out the yummy-looking
food icons! My G4 is named "Darjeeling" thanks to his "tea"
icons...
...scottmccloud.com
www.scottmccloud.com
Personal site of the author of "Understanding Comics". The experimental
web-comics found at this site are just as thought-provoking as his book
with respect to visual storytelling and design.
