Whoops!

Heh heh. I just discovered a set of Japanese language tapes I took out from the library...a long time ago. The late fees are probably pretty frightening by now.

Back they go! Fortunately the BPL doesn't require you to pay late fees when you drop things off. This does mean, however, that I won't be checking anything out until I can pay them off.

Japan can and will cutify anything

Case in point: Cthulhu-tan.

Yes, a cute little anime girl version of Cthulhu. Along with several other Lovecraftian chibi girls.

Warning: not everything on that page is worksafe (although most is hardly titillating unless you're a pedo freak). The image under CG marked "new" in particular will make you claw your own eyes out. I'm typing this with the aid of a screen reader.

In other anime-cutesy news, figurines of the OS Girls are available for purchase. There is also a dedicated OS-tan  image board on the English-language Wakachan site (risen from the ashes of iichan).
