I usually wait for Kabitzin to take the lead on WP upgrades but as the amount of shouting and screaming on the relevant WP forum thread seemed less than usual, I decided to take the plunge. I was particularly worried that the upgrade would break my theme but, apparently, if it’s K2 RC1 then it’s a-okay. So far so good, though please let me know if you find anything wonky.
In other news, I’ve also made the switch from Spam Karma 2 to Akismet which I’m not pairing it with Bad Behavior since BB has locked Stripey out in the past. Which proves that it’s doing its job. LOL Anyway Akismet has a much higher false positive rate so, again, give me a shout if your comment has been eaten by mistake.
I saw the above poster via Kurogane and one of my sensei-level commenters, Shinzantetsu, also kindly put a link to a much higher resolution scan. *wipes nosebleed* I struggled mightily with temptation and, with the added whammy of the Kagamin x Konata wedding picture, dealt with it in the best way, that is, to give in completely; have asked Stripey to procure a copy of Megami 93 for me (to save on the arm and a leg shipping costs from Japan to the UK).
And to think I had actually been entertaining the notion that Comp H had knocked Megami off its pedestal WRT my spending priorities but it looks like the goddesses in its pages have still got it: Evils I tell you.

(Aside: There’s some very nice material on Maria in Chapters 2, 4 and 5 of this volume but as this is a Hinagikuism post, I won’t go into them; please leave a comment to let me know if there’s a Maria fan out there who has already done the honours!)
V07.Ch66(3).p040-042: Absolutely lovely how Miki oh so slyly sets up Hina to receive her Valentine’s chocolates. Miki rhetorically asks: Isn’t V-Day is an event where girls give chocolate to guys? An embarrassed Hina, who is eating her way through a huge pile of chocolate from her fangirls, says that she knows that too.

Translation help request at the bottom of this post! Onegai shimasu!
V06.Ch060.p126-7: Tough love from Hina towards Yukiji who gets much less prize money than she expected after winning the free style marathon. Yeah, show her who’s Boss/Oneesama here, Hina! LOL at the insult that Yukiji uses on Hina; how can that be a bad thing especially if you accept the Konata/Mayumi Thyme argument? :3
