About this blog…
I set this up mostly as a place for me to keep track of my various hobbies, though it has also evolved into including some of my more general interests. Photos from trips, events, and real life ramblings have been known to show up.
About me…
There really isn’t too much to tell about me. I could probably say I started my career as an anime fan back in 1999 or 2000, when I caught a show on Cartoon Network called Sailor Moon. Yep, I’ll freely admit, my first taste of anime was the original DiC dub of Sailor Moon. From there, I moved on to other series, like Tenchi Muyo! and classics like Ninja Scroll and Ghost in the Shell. I fell off for a bit when I entered college, but rekindled the obsession with Aa! Megami-sama. It’s been a downward spiral since then, getting into manga, DVDs, figures, and Dollfies. In particular, I blame that last item on Danny Choo, though he exasperated much of my more recent figure acquisitions.
In the real world, I work for a little Redmond-based software company called Microsoft managing enterprise customers. I love being a proponent for my company’s products (where credit is due, or lacking), so product ramblings will occasionally sneak in here.
About my collection…
I’ve amassed quite the amount of stuff in the past years. Almost every type of item has wound up in my collection, from DVDs and manga to figures and dolls. I know I said I’d never put down the money to buy one, but here I am with over 20…
I’ve also been featured in Kotobukiya’s Otacool publication, including an image on the cover and a two page spread on the inside! Sadly, I think my cat is in it more than me…
That’s really about it. Feel free to browse and leave comments. I’d love to hear from you! You can also find me on Twitter and Instagram

Unfortunately, don’t actually have a banner to give you… Could probably link to your site, if you’d like.
I was wondering what kind of lights do you use in your case that has the Dolfie Rin?
They are LACK LED spots from IKEA. I use them in all of my display cases, they work pretty well. ^.^

If you answer our questions, we will be happy with giving you some goods of
your favorite anime characters.
1. How do you get information about Otaku-related info?

3. What kind of Otaku-related things do you think is hard to get?
4. Are you interested in the shopping site where you can get Otaku-related
