The mystery person from yesterday's post turned out to be <a href="http://www.crystalskies.com/">Emma</a> from Michigan.  I got a very friendly e-mail from her.

Thank you!

I updated the look of my mirror of Shuji's <a href="drama/wl/">With Love synopses</a>.  They now validate under XHTML 1.0 and CSS2.  I watched the first three episodes today, beautiful!  Now I'm searching on eBay for more VCDs.  They are <em>so much cheaper</em> than back in the day.  An eighteen-disc set of <a href="http://page.auctions.shopping.yahoo.com/ca/auction/67861497?aucview=0x10">Kiss of the Toast Boys</a> is only US$ 20 at Yahoo, and your <a href="http://www.stores.ebay.com/id=54321982">average Japanese drama set</a> is going for just over US$ 10 at eBay.  That's the price of being an early adopter, I suppose.
