  • (Quote) How about learning how to dance? Dance, as in, some form of social style like ballroom, salsa, line dance or even flamenco... It could be a once of week thing that gets you out being around people and getting some form of physic…
  • (Quote) I know the feeling... Life hit me hard this month with something I wasn't expecting. But the encounter led me to a book that helped to overcome my perception of myself and the world.

  • (Quote) Thank you very much for your advice! I'll take a look at wordpress and tumblr later this week and probably set something with them. I'll also check on Github (never heard of it). If I decide to commit more time/money on this side project, …
  • Any suggestions for hosting a simple web page with blog features?

    I'm looking to translate some fun stuff from the Japanese culture and have people read up on my adventures in a blog.


  • (Quote) I wish I could agree to this X 100.... And with all the negativity that gets (got) thrown at him, I don't know how he does it either.

    No lie. I thought I could do it too but alas, I closed the book on my story.

  • (Quote) Active as in popping up time to time and say "Hi, peeps!"

    No lie... I was expecting the Big M to show up like Stephen Amell and be like 'you have failed this city!" and open the ground in order for all manner of crazy to spew fo…
  • (Quote) The good news is that there has been a lot more events for people to participate in (some related to Ascension some not) and that's definitely a positive. I imagine there might be a short break till mid-March for the festivities to settle …
  • (Quote) @Marcella did something pretty amazing in my book. She got kicked out and made a come-back all the way to CL while dissing the Big M. I don't think any…
  • (Quote) What? There's still people from 'old Mag' that are around? I thought they all 'graduated' (like AKB48 style).

    And I hardly doubt that there are any new players in Magnagora these days... only alts and transfers. Plus, there's a …
  • (Quote) Tearing down a character is fine… Tearing down the player is not.
    Mag just has the bad luck of having certain individuals that excel in the latter.
    But you shouldn't leave. It's the perfect opportunity for you …
  • (Quote) My dear, dear aunt...

    You will never have me beat... usurped for 'stealing(?!?)' city credits to build an aethership for people to use without the backing of the Iron Council. A matter of fact, I should be on that very ship smok…

  • (Quote) Me too! :-D
  • (Quote) I agree with this as well. People tend to make the mistake of starting a fitness plan without learning how to control their diets. Even if you falter with your exercise, conditioning your meals will help to keep the weight off.<…
  • My recommendation... get a workout program centered around pull-ups such as Al Kavadlo's pull-up program.
    You'll be amazed at how much stronger you get when you got to go up against your current weight and gravity.

    For legs/endurance…
  • (Quote) I think at one point they did. However, looking at the eligibility requirements on their site there is no age restrictions. They might have taken it down.

    EDIT: Yeah... just double checked again. No age requirement.
  • (Quote) I will give you a similar advice I gave another Lusternia player. Do the JET program.

    In the scenario you've described I think that is a good option and here are my reasons:

    1) You get to teach... specifically EFL (En…

  • (Quote) Yeah, I love how you used to old version of 学 for school... I see it from time to time in old newspapers from the 40s.

    I see 学園 in more private, historical schools closer to the meaning of academy. I especially see its usage d…
  • (Quote) Your Chinese background will help you a lot with your reading skills... you'll just need to make some adjustments on how you understand the grammar since they are different.

    I think you're on the right track. Don't wo…
  • (Quote) Well, first off, don't beat yourself over it. For a Westerner, Japanese is one of the hardest languages to learn and you're trying to teach yourself from books.

    The problem is that your brain is wired a certain way fo…
  • (Quote) You're talking about cakes in America, right? Because that's like eating out of the trash. None of that stuff looks or tastes any good. If you want to experience eating a 'real' cake then I recommend Gramercy New York ( in General Dissatisfaction Comment by Xarcon April 2014

    Here's a picture of my favourite bath.
