SA Update
Hmmm maybe an update everyday? Can't promise it though. Most likely it'll be a every-other-day blog at best when school work picks up again...
Site News
1. Added more stuff to the draw page. There is now a LIVE chat window, that doesn't require you to click refresh as is on the cBox. This should make it easier for artists to draw. This same chat window is also mirrored here on this blog. So if you want to give it a go, just look to the right of your screen now and type away!
Thats all the site news for now...

And even if you aren't into tech stuff, this will still amaze you because its like the movies meets real life. You'll understand after you watch the video. It's not some computer animated stuff, this is the real deal, complete with a Japanese tour guide speaking, um shall we say, not so perfect English

Elderly woman sells cooking pot containing 3 million yen to recycle shop
YAMATOTAKADA, Nara -- Three million yen in cash found in a cooking pot that a recycle shop had bought from a customer has proven to belong to a housewife in her 60s living in Nara Prefecture, police said Friday.
Local police handed the money over to the woman after deeming that the shape of the pot and a bag that contained the money matched her descriptions.
The woman told investigators that she forgot placing 3 million yen she had withdrawn from a financial institution into the pot before selling it to the recycle shop in Yamatotakada.
The owner of the shop who bought the pot found the money in it and reported to police. A local police station had obtained a list of customers of the shop and been looking for the owner of the money. (Mainichi)
3 Million yen, by the way, is worth about $25,700 US dollars. Alot of money to store in a pot huh?

Next story: So I was thinking of what to Cosplay for this years Comic-Con International. Last year (or was it two years now)? I went as "Mr.Pocky" . Glico, the people actually sponsered me in the construction of that. I drafted designs and modeled it, sent a letter to their HQ in Japan, and got a go ahead/"we will pay you..." ^^.
Ok back to the story. So I was thinking of doing Domo Kun this year. What do you think? Well, why not a poll right? =D
Um and if you don't know who domo kun is, please go here: Wikipedia Article
And here are some pictures of the guy:

But it was a lot of fun! Getting stopped to have your picture taken with people (girls) and having random people cheer at you from across the street is more fun then you can imagine!
In that case... Domo-kun!
