Salutations to all kindred spirits! My name is Magical Ferret, and I like anime for certain reasons. Since I am a new addition, it is only be courteous if I share a bit of my history. As a child, I grew up with the ambition of wanting to prove Albert Einstein wrong, and help the world to achieve world peace! But it was after watching Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha that I found my true calling. Yes. I want to be a magical ferret, worthy of many hugs from children (preferably girls). Also, my preference in anime lies in those that feature delicious children because they invoke the parental instinct that dwells in my innocent heart.

Well then, I would like to end this brief post with yet another little snippet of what I want to do in life. I like children. Hence, it is my dream to  open an orphanage so that the less fortunate young ones will be able to experience a certain degree of happiness through my loving care. Of course, it is not an easy task. That is why I have contrived a brilliant plan that involves me making an underaged heiress to a vast fortune fall in love with me, and render me as her butler. With the backing of this future mistress (I hope she is 13, and an otaku too!), building an orphanage, a sacred sanctuary, will be possible!

Join me as I persist in my journey to appreciate anime!

Haha! Congratulations to Ghostlightning and Oku-san (Sybilant)! What else can I say? lol

Having fumbled around, perhaps it is imperative that one reflects on how this blog has contributed to the community, and after some consideration I can surely say WE ARE NOTHING BUT A CESSPOOL OF RANDOM THOUGHTS. Indeed, a blog’s charm lies in its emphasis on a certain type of writing, be it episodic summary or editorials. However, the unwillingness to commit to a certain style is, besides ennui lol, probably because this blog was an sudden creation, hence no exact structure or format was in mind when we started. From what I can see, this blog is pretty much going to be a dull and quiet corner for people like me to make insignificant commentary (along with occassional outbursts of extreme emotions).

Yes, as far as it is possible, this pub/tavern/bar will strive to entertain you folks with our clownish acts and “classy” (note the quotations) performances. We have been in beta version for some time and hopefully we can go into the main phase. Apparently no one really reads this blog, except for a few, but the show must go on! For those who have been saintly enough to support us, we humbly ask that you stay with us for yet another year.

P.S. Some people have accused me of having a split personality. That is nothing but a canard.

To all the ronery people out there. Respeck. Valentine’s Day is just a commercial scam to get people to buy overpriced crap for their lovers (until I find one myself).

The 19th of January is Martin Luther King Day; also, he would have been proud of what will take place on the 20th of January 2009.

So despite the fact that I have been watching anime all my life, my keen interest in anime was only sparked when I was offering a period of service to the world’s mightiest military force (mightiest in my opinion because we have never been defeated in a war, since we have never been involved in one). After watching several anime shows that were borrowed from my mates in the army, I was greatly enthralled by the potential of  the anime medium has in invoking emotional and intellectual interest in me. I also attribute the allure of anime to the fact that I have always been fawning over the art of storytelling and music so it was no surprise anime eventually got  included into my other general interests like books and films. So after succumbing to the appeal of anime, I guess what followed is rather conventional. Eventually my heavy anime diet that lasted for some time lead to my discovery of an “anime appreciating” community on the Internet. To be honest with you, the first anime-related post that I had read is not exactly the most pleasant one. If you had stumbled upon a heart-warming post that was written by Jeff Lawson, then good for you. For my case, it was RIUVA’s post about the ODEX saga. With my discovery of anime blogging, there was no way I could view anime again without minding the voices of the community (,especially the sarcastic ones). I am always piqued by the interaction that takes place on the Internet so it was just a matter of time before I realise that it would be fun to be part of it.

The Blue Fox Alley is my way of reaching out to the community. Its purpose is to serve as a stage for my silly little creations, the Sojourner and ID, to act out in whatever way that conforms to the proprieties which I have contrived to define their personalities. The Sojourner is a meek little man who likes to agree as much as possible with everyone; and ID SOJOURNER is the “dark side” of the Sojourner who performs whatever the latter does not dare to do. My aim in contriving these two fictional personalities hitherto is only to entertain those who have been most kind in gracing us with their presence in this little blog. I hesitate in stating in the affirmative when it comes to the question of have I been successful in my objective in being in the community, but I shall strive to deliver better than ever.

We serve a very small audience here at the Blue Fox Alley but as the Sojourner once said, “The show must go on!” I extend my appreciation to those who actually bother checking us out and it is hoped that you would continue to offer your support to us. Happy new year.

P.S. There is a reason why I have not been watching a lot of anime. Finally, I have the patience and autonomy to read some novels. Pardon me if there is anyone who has a different opinion but Pride and Prejudice is wonderful!

Having returned, I find that the flow of time keeps infusing our beloved blogosphere with the usual mix of dorama and lulz. Besides that, I am glad to see that the community has gotten livelier because of the spunk of up-and-coming blogging enthiasist Ghostlightning. I look forward to more of his contributions.

Oh yes. Once again, jpmeyer has shown me the vastness and profoundness of the Internet with his latest post about some fellow called John. Without my good man, I would not have been aware of the existence of F*CKIN OTAKU and ASK JOHN. Do not mind me. I am just mentioning this because my curiousity led me to explore the cosplay section of the F*CKIN OTAKU.

I am crying at the moment.

Anyway, it is good to be back and I ought to write something.

P.S. LOVE HINA IS AN EXAMPLE OF A NON-SEXIST WORK?

P.P.S HOLY SH*T! MAN FAYE AND SAILOR BUBBA. I STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN FROM THE WORLD. MAN FAYE EVEN HAS HIS OWN ARTICLE ON WIKIPEDIA.

Anyway, I am really upset about something. I even bought the song from the iTunes Store! Supporting the industry!

Hopefully once my exams are done, I would resume my strife for more e-penis and write something related to anime. lol.

What one can expect when I return:

1. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann review that has been delayed for some time.
2. Dennou Coil review.
3. I will work on my really helpful Vital Information For Your Daily Life series of posts.
4. An attempt will be made to bring The P-Meister back to the blogosphere for he has been meditating for too long in his Secret Hentai Lair.
5. Play Left 4 Dead
6. Watch Cowboy Bebop
7. Drink coke.

P.S. But I still do not have any control over a particular guy. He might still be around.

P.P.S. He is confused about his gender because of Marmot. So now he thinks he is a bashful and sweet little girl who has a onee-sama. I have nothing to do with it; but I do appreciate it if he could stop using my money to buy dresses.

For some reason, I have become a member of my university’s photography club even though I do not any knowledge when it comes to taking pictures. The president of the club expects us to have a camera of our own and I think when he is talking cameras he should be referring to more than just digicams.

I wonder what would be a good DSLR for a beginner.
