Breaking radio silence inform any and all that may be interested that at least one representative from HD will be present at this year's AX. If there's any interest in staging a mini-meetup, leave a comment and we can work something out. 5

After countless false starts and years of crushed dreams, we now have confirmation that the second season of Haruhi is in fact quite real, and that a new, never before seen episode has aired tonight. Will the new series live up to its predecessor? Will it be enough to make up for the interminable, soul-crushing years of desperate waiting? At the risk of judging prematurely, and having not seen any portion of the episode myself, I feel comfortable answering with a definitive categorical "YES". 5

In a shameless return to HD for the first time since my last post (a year and a hemisphere ago) I invite all to peruse my eBay listings, wherein I have put up a chunk of my precious doujinshi collection for sale. Why? My GF is not as understanding as Danny Choo's wife is about Japanese nerd stuff, and unlike Kasukabe in Genshiken, she is not prepared to allow my otakudom to extend to dirty comic books and the like. Figures of girls - yes, computer games with girls - okay, doujin with naughty bits in them - not appropriate. 13
