   Long Weekend Fun!

Anime Word of the Day
Moé or Moe (萌え, literally 'budding', as with a plant) is a Japanese slang word originally referring to fetish for or love for characters in video games or anime and manga. For example, 眼鏡っ娘萌え, meganekko-moe, "glasses-girl moe", describes a person who is attracted to fictional characters with glasses. "Moe!" is also used within anime fandom, and even in some anime itself, as an interjection referring to a character the speaker considers moe. Since there's an upraising of female otaku (or fujyoshi) this term can also go both ways. Basically it's the nice warm feeling that otaku get when they see something they like. The actual opinion on what is moe varies from person to person. What is usually attractive to many fujyoshi would be yaoi innocent characters, really bishi characters, even some cross-dressing, and shota in some cases. Guys with glasses are also interesting examples of moe.


Opening Act:
Hi all! Just a quick note tonight, I’m afraid I won’t be around for a while. In fact I’m not really around right now! LoL Thank goodness for internet on vacations! Anyway with the long weekend I’m spending my time in the lovely islands. No not the tropics. I wish! Nah I’m visiting the beautiful San Juan Islands and working on having a long weekend of rest and relaxation!

I hope everyone has a great long weekend and that no one has to work anytime during it! ^^

Oh and I'll be a bit behind but I'll visit everyone's sites when I get back on Tuesday!

New Works:
Only one new wallpaper this time. This is Zedd from KIBA. Actually this is the first time I’ve ever done a real vector, so I would really love opinions on that. Feel free to drop me a PM and yes please criticize! I need to figure out how to improve these! ^^ Later!

Epilogue
I’m looking forward to a few new shows, two of which premiered already. Vanished and Justice both came out this week and both are proving to be quite interesting! Bones one of my fave shows also had their season premiere. It wasn’t half as interesting as I’d hoped after last year’s finale, but oh well I’ll be watching next week as well! And soon I get more new shows and more season premieres…I so can’t wait for NCIS. Hehehe Last year’s finale just hurt! I need resolution! LoL

Random Question:
What are you doing over the long weekend? ^^ Or what did you do?


Junko Takeuchi’s Biography

Birth Name: Family name: 竹内 - Given name : 順子

Born: April 5, 1972 in Saitama, Japan

Blood Type B

Occupation: Voice actress/Musician/Character Designer

Another of my fave Japanese voice actresses. I first heard her as most of us probably did as the voice of Naruto! I was a bit surprised to find one of my fave voices to be done by a women. I’m a bit too used to having boys either done by young girls or young guys. I was even more thrilled when I realized she’d done the voice of Gon in Hunter x Hunter, an anime series that is still one of my absolute favorites out there! Over the years now I’ve happily caught her acting in a variety of small and large roles so its always a pleasure to keep and eye out for her latest.
