What I Write
Here are my current works. Okay, one is just a shameless plug.
 * [|Exile Lost]A novel I wrote and self-published
 * [|An American Otaku] My blog on anime and otaku culture in general.

What I Read
I really enjoy fantasy, so of course the //A Song of Ice and Fire// series is in my reading list right now. Anne McCaffery is probably my favorite contemporary author, though. My more "english major"-y choice of authors are Poe, Hawthorne, and Shakespeare. I like collecting old books, so I always come back with a ridiculous amount of antique books from used bookstores and book sales. A lot of people tell me I should read Kerouac, but I still haven't. Of course, I also haven't read //1984// or //Lord of the Flies// yet either.

What I Like to Do
I enjoy music, particular music performed by artificial voice software quite a bit. So one of my hobbies is keeping up with the freeware UTAU and creating songs in it with my personal voicebank Tomaru Mune. I'm also quite a fan of video games and sports, though I only play one of those everyday. Other wise I try to spend my time studying, working or building models of giant robots.

Tools of the Trade
Here are links to some of the programs I like to use to either edit and write, or to do something tedious.
 * [|Scrivener] - Not free, but cheap for what it offers. Built in name generator, spell check, and manuscript set up for the same price as a new pair of jeans.
 * [|UTAU] - Freeware voice-synthesis software that allows for the creation of custom songs. There are guides on how to use it in English.
 * [|Pepakura Viewer] - Free software that allows for the viewing of 3-D models, as well as the ability to print out the data and to create papercraft.
