Again to save space, this thread is for the day to day updates that I used to put on the tagboard, but are now going here. Yep. So, starting today, may 30, 2004 to really late at night before I go to bed may 31 morning, here's what I did:
-added DVD releases for june 2004* -updated conventions list - deleted finished cons and added some new dates -chose contest winners for this week (will be posted soon) -thought up secret new article topic - more on that later -recieved Kaleid Star vol. 1 in mail yesterday & have watched - expect to see review soon -wrote this message -word of the week=guppies (don't ask) ----- *I changed the format for the DVD releases so that it takes less time to type up but should be more helpful. Namely, release dates (exact) are now listed. ----- that's about it. I might get the june manga releases up tomorrow if I have time. man, I wish it was summer vacation. I could get so much more done...

Updates: 6/7/04 -sorry I haven't posted the updates in awhile. There actually haven't been many. been busy... -First non-Aurora fanart recieved! Thanks Kitsune!! -Still looking for more fan art though! -new word of the week=soap -new layout! version neo3.0, Plasma Chibi. It's just as wierd as me! Well, almost, at least... -I made some quick avatars for a few forum members - mostly because avatars entertain me and I wanted to make the forums more colorful. If you don't like them though, don't use them. Won't bother me at all - but tell me so I can delete them from my website to save space. -I'm working on writing a review guideline article, so keep an eye out for that. After that, I may write an article about writing articles, lol. -that's about it. I'm bugging mei to death to make her write a review tho ~AB

Updates for 6/12/04: -New staff member - everyone welcome Cameron (alucard here on the forums) to the team! Of course, we still need more than three staff members, but it's a start... -I'm working on an article about writing reviews. It's about halfway done, but I still have to finish writing it, then code it and upload it -I started working on my s-CRY-ed subsite... the URL's going to be i.domaindlx.com/scryed, but it's got pretty much nothing on it, so I wouldn't visit it unless you want to see they layout or something... -I got Azumanga Daioh vol. 1 (thanks Cameron!) so I may decide to review it soon. Of course, that'll probably be after I review Kaleido Star vol. 1, which I still haven't done. And then there's the entire rest of my DVD collection... *sighs -Ummm... if everyone's wondering why the hell I'm barely doing anything, I swear I'm not slacking off. You see, finals start this Friday, and all of the teachers are giving out everything under the sun to do - yesterday I had 3 tests and 2 presentations, and I only have 7 classes. one of them didn't even meet that day, either. :S Oh, and I failed them all... I screwed up my math test because I was worrying about the SPanish presentation I did poorly on because I was worried about the English presentation later that day, and the Western Civ test I didn't get to study for because I was busy preparing both of the presentations. And then there was the biology test. One of those scantron things. You know, if you fill in C for every single answer on those, you're bound to get at least a 30. cool, isn't it? But the only subject I DIDN'T have anything to do in was band... but there is a band final coming up that I'm also going to fail -_-' *sigh* Anyway, I can probably do a review or finish my article sometime this weekend... probably. Right now I'm trying not to die from school-overdose. ~AB

Yay for weekends! I got absoluely nothing done for my finals - but I did add some cool new stuff to the site! Apart from spending hours uploading s-CRY-ed screencaps for my new site (turns out I have over 125MB in screencaps... and I'm not even done taking them all yet :S), I also did the following:
-Added article on writing reviews -New Review: Azumanga Daioh Volume One: Entrance! -New Review: Kaleido Star Volume One: Welcome to the Kaleido Stage! -New Word of the week = obscure -I have gone flat broke. Literally. I currently own one penny -_-' And I'm not kidding -I'm looking for more fan art. FAN ART I SAY!!!! -I'm still gonna fail my band final *sigh* partially because I spend more time practicing the piece I wrote based on the background theme to Rurouni Kenshin -Speaking of Rurouni Kenshin, that'll likely be my next review, because everything I've done so far is either Shoujo or Sci-fi, or shoujo-ey-sci-fi -I'm also bugging Mei to write reviews. I think she'll probably write a Naruto manga review first...but we can only wonder how long that'll take -Cameron is looking for new release dates and news and stuff. DVD release date list has been updated as well -I actually own a complete manga set (finally) yay for Seven of Seven! (it was only 3 vols. long)
That's about it... now back to my Rurouni Kenshin composition... er...I mean... band final... *sighs* ~AB

Updates 7/9/04:
-I'm having some trouble obtaining the list of manga releases for July. I was going to look for them in Newtype USA, but they managed to accidentally reprint the June list. I'm also trying to see If I can get one by checking a few online stores and stuff... I don't know how long it'll take me, though...
-Also, I may not get much of a chance to update in the next week and a half - I plan on attending the ConnectiCon on the 18th, and I'm trying to make last-minute cosplay plans... I'm thinking about making a Scheris Adjani costume (the second one, not the HOLY uniform), but I still have to get fabric and patters, fix my sewing machine (or sew it by hand, which is a nightmare - especially since I don't sew well by hand), make that hair clip of hers, and, if possible, obtain and shape a wig... otherwise known as, I have a lot of work cut out for me...
-I have Pretear volumes 2 & 3 in my Queue on Netflix, they'll be showing up to be reviewed once my dad finishes watching two random movies of his own... I also have volume 4 in my Queue after some random movie called "In America" Expect reviews (hopefully) by the end of the month
-My teeth ache. Orthodontists are evil. But I no longer have braces, so I guess that's a happy thing... not that any of you care much
-I'm still looking for fan art - someone please send me something!!
That's all for today. Still not much. If anyone has any idead where I can obtain a list of manga releases, or has fan art, please let me know!

Okay, I have to apologize to everyone for not updating for like ever... I've been busy doing a lot of nothing... long story. Anyway, with that out of the way, I have to apologize again... because I still don't have any real updates ^_^' Yeah, you can all hit me on the head and call me a loser... In any case, I have to write reviews for Pretear volumes 2 & 3 soon, because I have to send them back to Netflix (I've kept them way too long already, actually...) so I can get some new DVDs for reviewing... I also just ordered Kaleido Star vol. 2 and Azumanga Daioh volume 3, so you might see reviews for them coming soon... although, come to think of it, I still haven't reviewed Azumanga vol. 2... Also, I'm working on a new layout. This one will feature Aoi - Our new/old mascot (after this I'm going to make a separate announcement about this with more info & details...). To finish, I'm still begging you all (if you even exist) to help out - fan submissions, volunteering to help out, recruiting new forum members, or just about anything you can do... I can't do this all alone... I'm also desperately seeking staff members, if anyone is interested. Contact me on the boards or email me at kazumatheshellbullet@hotmail.com for more info Thanks (and sorry!), ~AB

Yay... I felt really guilty about not updating anything for like forever, so I went and addded the August DVD releases (and it's only like three weeks late, at that...) I'm stopping for an hour or two to go work on my Scryed site (which has recieved just as few updates as AMAW main), but if I'm still alive and awake after that, I'm going to come back and do something (haven't figured out what yet) here, too...
oh, and if I haven't told you all yet, you need to go worship my new avatar because it's cool. I made it myself. Except I screwed up the last frame, so the sheep keep stepping backwards... *sigh*
yay! ~AB

Yay! I added a new review - Pretear volume 2 (so now I can finally send it back to Netflix to get a new movie - although I still have to review volume three...).
I'd also like to announce that I went shopping last night! And, save a few gift certificates to Borders, Toys 'R' Us, $3 at Circuit City, and Waldenbooks, I'm now broke again! Damn, I need a job... and I need to find a way to spend that Toys R Us certificate... seriously, what's at Toys R Us that a 15 year old girl could want? They don't sell DVDs or manga, although they might sell video games... although I'm not exactly a gamer -_-'
Anyway, I used 17 of my circuit city dollars to purchase Millenium Actress (I had a choice between that, the Transformers movie, and Initial D volume one... Circuit City's selection pretty much sucks...), but anyway, I'll probably review that... eventually... as well. But I may decide to write a manga review first. I haven't done any of those yet...
ALso, I'm including the regular plea for assistance... I need a staff!!!! And if you don't want to be a staff member, please send me something!! I don't care if it's a three-second doodle fanart-like image done on Paint, anything will do... please?
Guppies.... we also have a new layout, which I made a separate announcement about... and I changed to forum colors (is it too purple?). I'm also desperately hunting for members (JOIN!!!.... please?)
Ehh... anyway, must run now. Guppies! ~AB
