1) Wow, I had the only news story the entire week? Shame on you, guys. All kidding aside, I'm just trying to keep Ichigo and TC honest. Though I submitted three stories within the week (Oct. 30 to Nov. 5) including two stories on the K-ON! movie. Still have not seen them up on the news portal. I'm sure there is a reason but if you want news, theO is going to have to post (not necessarily mine) news.
2) As I am getting back into the swing of things at theO, I have never really greeted TimeChaser as the new podcaster. So here it goes.

I don't know. That's all I've got.
But a quick question for the new podcaster. Most of us know how Ichigo got his username. Any stories behind the username TimeChaser or is it just cool?
3) Personally, HP was a integral part of growing part. It was a phenomenon. I didn't like some movies (1, 4, 7 part I) or how they ended the whole thing. Could have used a bit of elaboration. Perhaps I'm just being nitpicky. Though the books really were treasures to me. You may have your qualms and opinions. Fine by me. I'll be off rereading the series and doing magic stuffs which are awesome.
4) November 6th is Flag Day in Sweden. FYI.

I've heard of bilberries; they look like blueberries and there's some kind of bird that uses them to paint their nests (the male ones do this to attract mates.)
Don't worry, Timechaser, I don't like Harry Potter either. I've never read the books and I was pretty 'meh' by the 4th movie.
TimeChaser: "No, I'm not an artist. I tried to write but I usually end up going, 'This is crap!' and...have to start over."
This caught my attention, since it looks like an error that even Ichigo didn't notice. On the other side, maybe I got it wrong and is probably referring to writing articles as a form of art.
And you guys make very good points on eCards in theOtaku. At least I'm glad to say that half of my cards do have a message; the other half simply commemorated a specific date or period that has long passed, which is still one of the purposes of a greeting card.
However, I did give this a second thought. Maybe it would help all of us if we view the eCards not just as an online greeting card, but rather as an online postcard. Being a postcard collector when I was 6, I know that postcards normally contain images of scenic spots, well-known paintings, objects from nature, and other random items. And, like the greeting card, you can still write a message at the back of the postcard. Unlike the greeting card, though, you're not always limited in what you would write since the postcard image doesn't always give you a theme to begin with, except for the scenic spots that serve to give your recipient an idea of where you are.
Put that in perspective with the eCards with random images without an explicit greeting or message, and we see what could possibly be its purpose after all.

Wait a second! Confusing Harry Potter fan fiction with the actual Harry Potter books is NOT the same as mixing up fan fiction with reality...
Harry Potter isn't real guys. (Please don't curse me!)
