About a year ago,
I wrote about my romantic view of the graveyard shift. I loved the idea of hacking at night and sleeping under my desk, since it rang back to the times of the TTY and the PDP10. The time that "real hackers" were still "real hackers" and that sleeping under your desk was still normal.
Well, no more. These days it's become more of a nuisance to me. Is this a sign that I'm getting older? Is it a sign that I'm fed up with IT? Is it a sign that I like my bed more than the couch or floor at the office? More importantly, do I care?!
No. ^_^ I've come to dislike working at night and I prefer staying in bed thankyouverymuch. *sings* The times, they are a-changing *sings*

Lucky Star isn't the only currently airing TV series from Japan that I'm following. Recently I've also gotten hooked on
Hanazakari no kimitachi e (
For you in full blossom, or
Hana-Kimi for short). However, unlike a lot of the stuff I watch,
Hana-Kimi isn't an animated series! No, it's a live action drama/comedy! And a great one at that ^_^
In short,
Hana-Kimi tells the story of Ashiya Mizaki a Japanese girl who's moved back to Japan to inspire her idol. You see, back in America, her idol Sano Izumi sustained an injury that has kept him from competing in the high jump ever since. Feeling that she -must- help Sano get back on his feet, Ashiya enrolls at his school.
But there's the catch! Sano is one of the dozens of students at Osaka High, an all-boys school! :D
Not about to be discouraged, Ashiya assumes a male role and joins Sano and his classmates. They party together, the have competitions, the share dormitories...
Oy vey, there are hundreds of opportunities for things to go wrong! Especially since most of Ashiya's fellow students, hot as they may be, are a little nuts in the head. Cue dozens of over-the-top comedy moments and a whole bunch of almost-caught moments for Ashiya ^_^;
The recipe:
* Take two pounds of over-the-top humor.
* Add two scoops of romance.
* Add a dash of drama.
* Stir in two squirts of
shounen ai.
And presto! It's
Hanazakari no kimitachi e!
Here's a snippet of the second episode.
