A puppy is for life, not just Hina Matsuri...

Cute babies! Link nicked from luxetumbra.

Speaking of which, I was working in a different branch today. It's right next to a pet shop and it had the most adorable blue (grey) kitten in it! Apparently, she was born on Christmas Day, 2005. Awww...!

But, disturbingly, it had a little advert next to it reminding shoppers that Hina Matsuri was very soon (3rd March, also known as 'Girls' Day'). Were they suggesting that buying a pet for Girl's Day is a good idea? They also had a cartoon of a cat and a dog dressed as the dolls, with 'CHANSU!' written underneath. Nonononono...

(Might be a few mistakes here -- I did it really quickly due to being in an internet cafe!)

BL game, Gakuen Heaven, is being animated!! [Edit: Okay, I'm an idiot. That IS the official anime site, not the game site. That means the characters ARE being voiced by Fukuyama Jun, Konishi Katsuyuki, Sakurai Takahiro, Miki Shin'ichirou, Morikawa Toshiyuki, Suzumura Ken'ichi, Okiayu Ryoutarou, Narita Ken, etc... I'd tell you I'm going do a complete list once I'm back online, but I bet there'll be a proper list way before then! I have two minutes left here.]

Official Juuousei site now open! The text next to that particularly charming picture reads something along the lines of 'I'm turning into a beast'. Looking forward to it... :P
