So it is December. Even though I hate winter, I don't hate the entire atmosphere of the month. With the season of winter having set in, I changed the look of this page a bit. If you notice it's the same one as last winter, you are a long-time reader of my blog. My sincere thanks go to you.

And it's nice to introduce you another Japanese blogger here. Ladybird, aka Machilin, has just set up a new English blog site with the help of Ken Loo. I'd like you to read this entry for a starter. I was impressed with her views, and posted a comment. After that, I noticed the message sounded just like ones from comment spammers. Aargh! No, don't get me wrong, Machilin.
