Pic of the day: Well, it is true! I can sleep alone! Go me! I understand that this is a kind of extra benefit that some people have. The screenshot is from the anime Kyou Kara Maou, and the irritatingly happy person to the left is Wolfram. Wolfram is Yuuri's fiancee, and a boy, much to the consternation of Yuuri. Bet you couldn't guess from looking at his face. ^_^

Fast forward

Once again I've managed to spend the whole day and not get anything done. Anyway, I have great news for you my faithful readers! Henceforth the anime screenshots will not be blurry and barely legible. Please direct your gratitude to Zoomplayer and to the helpful young man who recommended it to me, Kemayo (his real name is David Lynch, but perhaps to avoid confusion he has chosen another name. Evidently there is already another famous person by that name.) Please say a blessing for young Kemayo, for he has made me a very happy man. (And don't get any weird thoughts here ...)

Playing the intro song to Kyou Kara Maou repeatedly is kinda like taking a moderately powerful pleasure drug, but the fact remains that Zoomplayer is wonderfully crisp and clear and lets me take these screenshots. I wish I had taken notice a year ago. You could have been spared much ugliness.

As for Wolfram, he always comes up with irritating reasons for staying close to Yuuri, such as "I will sleep in your bed since you are a scaredy-cat", other times "I will let you ride behind on my horse because you're so bad at riding" and generally "I must stay close to you because you're a wimp and it is my duty to protect you".

As for me, however, I picked this particular picture because the text ties in with the previous entry, and the next entry, and probably the entry after that, which I haven't even written yet.
