If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know that I've been contemplating and toying with the idea of making nightcore for a while now. I'm not quite there yet, because let's be honest, I only have the faintest idea what I'm exactly doing. "How high is it supposed to be? How fast? We're straddling that …

An Unordered Shout Out to (Some of) Shoujo’s Favorite (Male) Voice Actors!

I gave up on twisting hooks into the drywall and sat in my pink office chair. Instead of attempting to manifest my less-that-proficient home improvement skills, I tuned in to the dub of Nondame Cantabile (I know nothing about this yet, guys.
