A little background
Well, decided to pick up a blog - if it's Pixy handing 'em out, shoot, I'd rather funnel ad revenue his way than to some anonymous corporate type. ;p [And use up his bandwidth... -ed But I'm already doing that at the other blogs here!]
At any rate, introduction time. This is Andrew Kent, and I've been going by Avatar online for, oh... better than ten years now, I suppose. It's kind of silly to use a handle when it's not anonymous, but I've had good luck with it over the years - it literally got me a job, so I'm a little attached to it.
Said job was at ADV, where I spent just short of five years subtitling,
authoring DVDs, proofreading stuff, wrangling master tapes, and trying not to laugh too hard. Fun experience, very happy I did it. Getting caught in the big layoff was considerably less fun, but it did give me the opportunity to go back to college and finish a political science degree. Now I'm kicking around, doing some subtitling for the other companies out there, and looking for regular employment.
I'm also watching a lot of anime. Not a bad season so far this year. Watching Claymore, Hayate the Combat Butler, Heroic Age, Gurren Lagann, the new season of Nanoha, and Lucky Star on a regular basis, with a little Murder Princess thrown in. Might add one or two other shows if I get sufficiently bored, but we'll see, we'll see.
I'll try to keep a running journal going on what I'm watching without running into spoiler territory. Let's see how that turns out...

Welcome to the Minuvia family (and I'm saying it as a honorary member, wink wink wink)!
This season (actually it has just finished) was quite good to me, comparatively speaking. Usually I avoid following fansubs, so starting with 4 shows out of the gate was big for me. Looks like I'm staying with just two to the end, but still it's a rich season, comparatively speaking.

An old avatar I use less frequently these day (and is just further evidence of my Xeno-philia) is "yaminohasha". It's unique, hard to type quickly without practice, and gives people the impression I might actually be Japanese.
