6/26/99 - Behold! Today is the day of the great Geocities/Yahoo Merger! And they art making my life hell! I am not longer the one true Akane Saotome. Oh, no, now I am akane_saotome.geo! How lame is that? I hate this! Anyway, they made me switch my mail around, too. I have absolutely no idea what's going on, so until I figure it out, you have three email choices:
So, try whichever one you like, and I'll get back to you later.
On a side note, I've created a page for my Original Fiction. If you're bored or stalling from doing something productive in your life, why not check it out? It might be fun and exciting! I also added a new link to the upcoming movie Foreign Correspondents. Check it out! And don't forget to read the 6/6/99 Update below, if you haven't already!
6/23/99 - Hey, minna-san. Though it doesn't look like it, I have been working on the site. I've been very, very busy making thumbnails for my Shinji and Kaworu pictures, but it's taking awhile. My computer just doesn't want to comply. Oh, well. I've always done a few little fix up things that I felt didn't need mentioning. In fact, I can't at the moment remember what those things were! *grins sheepishly* One was to delete the no-longer-in-existence Bishônen no Harems AniRing. That's one that I'll really, really miss. Oh, well, there are other webrings. Just check out the ones I've joined on my Webrings page!
Also, I randomly started another page. I was inspired by visiting the official Otakon website, and just had to make my own Otakon page! You know as well as I do that Otakon '99 hasn't happened yet. I explain that on my page. You'll see...just glimpse at it, ok? Ok. Arigato!
Oh, and don't forget to read the 6/6/99 Update below, if you haven't already! It explains a lot... *sighs sadly*
6/11/99 - First, if you haven't already, please read the 6/6/99 Update below. OK, now that that's over with, I've done a few things on my site. Obviously, I've added the new background on my main page. Also, the picture of Ewen McGregor is actually a link to my review of the movie Velvet Goldmine. Check it out. Also, every picture in Shinji's Lovely Image Gallery is linked with a real thumbnail, as to not continually crash everyone's computer. Gomen nasai.
Oh, and did everyone see not only my adorable Jake on the MTV Movie Awards last night, but also Yummy Ben Affleck dude-kissin' Kevin Smith? Isn't life wonderful? If you missed it, try to catch it again at one of MTVs annoying continual repeats!
6/6/99 - OK... The Goddess is in pain tonight. Massive pain. What could have made this happen? Did Jake find her proposal and reject her? Did the shônen ai movement die out completely? Did Shinji finally declare, once and for all, that his true love was really Asuka? No, none of these. What happened was...
I lost everything... at least 5,000 pictures... in process fanfics... bookmarks... yet to be uploaded pics and text... all of my MP3s... Everything. So, this page will be in a state of choas for awhile. I'll work as hard as I can to get everything running, but it'll be tough. I'm really, really depressed about this. I did have one new page of Shinji and Kaworu pictures that was uploaded, so I'll link that. It's unfinshed, but there are some nice pictures at The Gallery of Linked Pages. Don't forget to visit the pages they came from!
One piece of good news, though. I can access my Geocities email account again! Hooray! I only had 206 letters waiting for me, though. And only 5 were about this site. Wai. Anyway, if you mailed me ANYTHING before MAY 15th, I no longer have your letter. Please, remail me. I will answer you. I promise.
For those of you who did write, thank you. I will make changes as you wish, including getting real thumbnails for the Image Galleries. Gomen nasai. I've wanted to for so long, but put it off (for lack of skills). Now, I realize I must. Thank you for your patience with me, minna-san.
6/5/99 - I'm completely revamping Shinji's Lovely Suite. I won't get into it here... I have a seperate Updates section on that site. Just check it out, ok? Coolness.
Other than that, I saw Velvet Goldmine the other night. Oh, my. Happy, happy shônen ai land. Ewen McGregor mouth kissing Jonathan Rhys-Meyer! I'm working on a little gush about it here. Not much, yet, but it'll get better. I promise.
