I’ve only read a few passages, but I’ve been enjoying the book from the beginning. This ancient Japanese literary piece, known as The Pillow Book was written by an imperial court gentlewoman named Sei Shonagon, a lady-in-waiting serving the empress sometime in the 10th-11th Century Heian Period in Japan. During this period, it was the era of cultural flourishing all over Japan. Sort of like the Renaissance Period in Europe where artists of various forms as well as scholars and philosophers promote a brand-new culture in their everyday life through the visual arts to the literary arts. Japan held the record of having one of the very earliest, if not the earliest novel ever written in history, starting with Genji Monogatari (The Tale of Genji) written by another imperial court lady-in-waiting, Murasaki Shikibu.

Sometime at the final week of October, My NaNoWriMo blog will be re-activated again. Hopefully I’d be able to create a new layout for it, but for now, we’ll stick to the old one instead since I don’t have any inspiration for it. That blog was the second time that I used Artisteer as the WP theme generator using its defaults since I was still familiarizing with it then.

Whew, I haven’t really blogged in here for the entire week! Well, been busy with work and among other things, plus I got myself warped in to my video gaming fandom as well. New DS games, Age of Empires III complete with the expansions, and my unhealthy obsession with Luna Online and Mabinogi. If you’re a total Celtic Mythology fan (in particular Welsh Mythology), give Mabinogi a try.

Unless I find some really good (and definitely worthy) writers and contributors who would not mind volunteer some time to write in AMNOSnet blog with the latest content or just contribute something they want to write about Arashi just so the site can have fresh content, I’ll have to put the site on a one-month hiatus due to my participation in NaNoWriMo.

And speaking of NaNoWriMo, I am not about to abandon FSM. Why? Because my upcoming novel for NaNoWriMo will be in relation to FSM. If you’re interested in reading my NaNoWriMo novel in progress, then feel free to contact me or read my NaNoWriMo progress blog.

Part II of my Fan-Subbed Works entries will have to be put on hold for now, but I’ll get to it eventually. I also noticed that I’ve gotten a little mellow with my entries as of late (rather more specifically, my rants and miscellaneous entries regarding Arashi/J-Idols “fangirling scene”), but it’s not because I’ve run out of ideas, but because I’ve become more focused on other things other than “fangirling.” I personally can’t survive “fangirling” on Arashi or some other J-idol I happen to currently like.

Okay, I’m calling it a day. More later. Ha!
