Yup, I’m back. Its been a long summer, and a busy one to boot. So once pirate season started I became so overwhelmed with things I just did not have the time to update this page. So some big changes in my life are about to happen. I am excited and scared. I have a new girlfriend, but that’s currently personal so I wont go into that. I am looking for work in a new town, away from this vortex of hell. So the biggest challenge is finding a job that will pay me enough to move. Once I land this job I will be staying with some of my friends in this new city for awhile till I get a place of my own. So hopefully I can land one this month. I don’t think my current job will last that long.
So I got my fermentation chamber built today. Its completely insulated and has an Air Conditioner installed. It took the better part of Saturday and some of Sunday to get it made. The only things it need are, the Temperature controller, some hasps to hold the door shut and some black spray paint. I will order the temperature controller this Thursday.
I also did some research on brewing this week and found out that the old keg i have had in my attic since forever ago, can be converted into a brewing pot, hot liquid tun or a mash tun. So I am going to try and secure 2 more of these kegs from scrape metal yards and get a real brewery setup. More pictures are on my flicker account.
Looks like it wont be long before the bleach anime catches up with the manga. They may need to draw out the fights a little longer. Todays episode was very action packed. I was really impressed with the visuals of this fight. It really got my blood pumping.
I have been on a roll lately. Things are starting to move faster for me again. I have been working hard on so many things I can’t seem to make enough time to do them all. Firstly I have been working for Kumoricon the majority of the time. With tier 1 and tier 2 already ended we are about to mail out both at the same time. The reason for the delay is do to many factors, the major one being free time. The little bit of free time I get I try to dedicate to getting things done.
The next thing occupying my time is looking for a new job elsewhere. I have reached the point were I do not want to work for my current employer anymore. So this means looking for work anywhere in the state. This could be a good thing for me. I am truly tired of the city I live in. There is no real culture here. When I say culture, I am referring to things such as unique restaurants, niche business, etc. So needless to say I have been on the look out for a new place to live.
I am also working hard on getting my online business up and running. This is a slow process as it seems to have been place in queue behind the other things on my plate. I still have a large amount of data entry to do on the site before its ready for full release.
And one of the other things I have been doing is trying to reduce the amount of things I own. I am Craig’s Listing a lot of the bigger things and then later this summer I plan to have a garage sale to get rid of the rest.
Also one of the back burner things on my list is getting the Washed Ashore website updated. I need to add the preregistration page to it soon.
So I just finished watching Mai-Otome 0~S.ifr.~ episode one. Right out
in the opening of this OVA we get some nice action. After watching
Zwei, I was not expecting much out of the Mai-Otome franchise, but I
was very excited to watch this episode. With all the jumping around and flashbacks of the episode, now I have many more questions about the back story of this universe. I look forward to seeing 
more from this series, even if it will be only 3 episodes long and take 3 months for each to come out. If you have not done so already go and check this one out. The Mai-Otome series is a lot of fun to watch. The characters are cute and entertaining. And in this episode especially there is a yuri undertone that is implied. And we all love yuri.
Just a quick update. I have added the Anime-Fanatic Official Blog over at Blog.Anime-Fanatic.com. This blog will track the changes and updates to Anime-Fanatic.com.
