Please, no random friend requests. If I know you, go on ahead and send a request. Random requests may be granted or denied based on a number of criteria including but not limited to my sobriety level, my whim, or anime compatibility.

Origin of the name (before anyone asks):
Back when I got the PC game Descent, I was trying to choose a pilot name. I wanted something that sounded vaguely robotic, but my imagination was failing me. So, I closed my eyes and hit seven random keys. The rest, as they say, is history.

I don't really watch much in the way of anime anymore. What little I am watching is stuff that I'd planned on watching and never got around to doing so, or stuff I was in the middle of and had to put off for whatever reason. 99% of new anime is idols, fanservice, and moeblobs; and I just don't feel like searching through a pile of shit to find the gold hidden therein. From here on out I'll be reading manga. Specifically, UQ Holder!, Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to, and Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san.

If you're looking at my list, keep in mind that I don't rate anime relative to one another. My 7 on Vandread, for instance, can't be equated to my 7 on Upotte!. However, within a series, say, Love Hina, the ratings are relative, and indicate which parts of the series I liked more or less than the first part.

I've also got a Google Picasa account full of anime wallpapers. Enjoy.

I also like to write GreaseMonkey user scripts and user styles for Stylish.
Greasemonkey:

• Club Picture IQDB Lookup - since MAL resamples club pictures to save space, this script adds a link that will let you easily search for the full resolution version. Screenshots and update history available here.

Stylish:

• Restore old line spacing - the new xbox hueg line height drove me crazy, so I made a simple user style to fix it. Works flawlessly with the new layout.
  *Update 2, 2014-04-24* After discussing this style's removal with the admin of userstyles.org, it has been undeleted. Apparently he mistakenly flagged MAL as an adult website. Thanks to hellshikoku for informing me that the link was dead. If you'd rather just copy/paste the CSS into Stylish, here it is.
  *Update 2014-04-24* Apparently the userstyles.org link died, so the link now just gives you the CSS to paste into Stylish.
