OK. Still caught up in the perpetual "holiday rush" but now the site actually reflects the season (wonder of wonders). Argh...it's getting very annoying having all of my time get sucked away by crafts, baking, shopping and wrapping. I swear...I love this holiday, but it can be such a hassel!

Why is it that the holidays always manage to suck away precious webmastering time? I've been really busy lately and I've fallen behind compared to where I hoped the Sanctuary would be at this point. My apologies for this--I'll do my best to hurry along the rest of the site. In the meantime, the new songs are up and I shuffled a few of the movies around again. Hopefully that will do for right now. Thank you for your patience! ^^

The Sasami Gallery is now back online. *Whew!* Nothing like reorganizing 500 thumbnails to make your head hurt. It's going to be awhile before I can stomach looking at the Gallery again... @_@

The next update will be a new and improved Puzzle Zone. Look for it soon!

Well, here it is--The Sasami Sanctuary version 3. Different, isn't it? The navigation should be a lot easier now and I think it has some added panache too. ^^

As you may have noticed, not every section is open at this point in time. Practically every page in this site had to undergo some form of change to fit in with the new layout, and I haven't finished all of them quite yet. If a link to a page exists, it means that that page is fully operational. Anything that isn't yet complete has simply been stricken from the menu (this saves seeing those annoying "404 errors" left and right). The missing pieces will be added over the next week or so as I finish tweaking them. The Image Gallery is there, but only the Tsunami, Group and Pretty Sammy sections are open at this time. I am hard at work finishing the Sasami section as you're reading this and it will be put up as soon as it's done.

Anyway, I hope you all like the Sanctuary's new look. Check back for the rest of it soon!

Hoo boy. Wait until you people see the work I've done for the new layout. It's about 35% complete right now, so still a long way to go, but the hardest parts are finished. It should be done in time for the start of next month (that's my goal anyway). You'll hardly recognize the place!

I also have a HUGE treat for you people. In the movies section, there is now a copy of the Third Tenchi OVA intro available for download!! ^___^ Aren't you just so excited?! I sure am! The animation and art look fantastic--right on par with what we saw in the first and second OVAs. Best of all, there's Sasami in it!! So go download and drool over the promise of a spankin' new Tenchi series!

Well, autumn is finally here and I finally put up the Halloween layout and the October MP3s. Hehe...I didn't lie when I said I would update the image gallery, even though it took me longer than I initially thought it would. I worked my butt off to deliver 64 new pictures to make a grand total of 500 images in the gallery! HOLY COW! @_@ The other good news is that after months of creative blockages, I think I finally have an idea for a new site layout. It's not going to be a small undertaking though, and when it's done, this place will look much different. Check back soon!

Hmmm...it's been awhile since I did anything significant with this site. I keep thinking I'll fool around with making a couple new wallpapers but I'm having trouble finding artistic inspiration. Any suggesstions, anyone? The new music is up, though, and I'm playing around with the image gallery too. That shouldn't take much longer if everything goes well.

My apologies for the lateness of this update. I'm in the process of uprooting my entire life at the moment in the quest to fulfill the definition of "contributing member of society." (English translation: I've moved and I'm looking for a job.) But on the theory of better late than never, the new MP3s are up and I shuffled some more movies around. Enjoy, everyone! I hope to be back soon with a Gallery update or some other cool thing.

*Sigh*...too much going on. I have a huge backlog of emails that I haven't answered, some of which are almost a month old. If you emailed me for some reason and never got a response, now you know why. ^^; I'll try to catch up on those, but I may have deleted a few of them by accident, so if you're really desperate for a response from me, you might consider sending your message again. I'm really sorry! I'm usually so much more organized than this.
In other news, I put up some new movies, including the opening and ending to the Pretty Sammy game for the Sega Dreamcast, which was never released in America! Thanks to John of John + Lisa's Tenchi Muyo for the clips!

Happy Independence Day! I'm still swamped with stuff. Tomorrow I leave to move some of my stuff down to my new apartment, so I had to squeeze this update in. The new MP3s are up, and there's the festive, patriotic backdrop, but not much else. I'm hoping that when I get back from my trip I'll have time to update. I have some cool new things that I want to show off, so be patient! Thankfully it's not everyday that a webmaster goes through major life changes. ^^;

OK...sorry for the long delay and stuff. The new MP3s are now up and I finally put up a beautiful new Winamp Skin Erika sent me weeks ago (sorry Erika!). You have to see this one to believe it--it's gorgeous! Ugh...there's too much going on in my life right now to suit my taste. Hopefully I can get things organized and update again soon. In the meantime, enjoy!

Well, I've attended my last college class ever so I guess I am now an "adult" (whatever that means). The Message Board mysteriously stopped working during most of April, and just when I was about to get around to fixing it, it mysteriously started working again. Creepy! But everything seems OK there now, so go post and enjoy. The May MP3s are up as usual and I finally managed to update the image gallery. Say hello to 36 new pics! Hopefully I'll have more soon, since I'm not gainfully employed quite yet. ^_^

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It's been two years since the Sanctuary first appeared on the internet and what a wild ride it's been. I can't believe how big this site has gotten in such a short time! Rest assured that this is still only the beginning of the fun and I fully intend to keep this site going for a long tme yet. Other than the fun graphics, I'm afraid there's not much else to show. Like my own birthday, this anniversay has been cheated due to school work. But not to wory: the new MP3s have been put up and I'll get to some other things once I finish my evil senior thesis. Thank you all for a great two years!

It finally feels like spring! There's nothing quite like coming out of a long, cold winter. The snow's beginning to melt, I can ditch the winter coat, and put the flowery look back up! ^_^ Aside from the return to blue basics, I put up some new Movies. Download, enjoy, and check back for more stuff.

Note to self, caffeine is not a substitute for sleep. Erika sent me a bunch of her beautiful Winamp skins, so those are now here for your downloading pleasure. Many thanks to her for allowing me to post her amazing work. Um...that's all for now. More stuff soon...hopefully maybe...

This has turned out to be a crazier semester than I anticipated. Well, the Valentine's Day layout has finally been taken down in favor of a look for another holiday. Man am I embarrassed about letting that slide! ^^; The March MP3s are up, along with 2 more Winamp skins. I'm sorry for the lack of updates on my part. There just aren't enough hours in the day anymore. Rest assured that I will try my best to get more stuff up soon.

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you like the special red look for the holiday. It sure feels different to me! I'm trying to find time to work on the new layout, but I've still got a lot of outside forces eating away at my time. But the new MP3s are up, along with some more Winamp Skins and a few new links on the Links page. I also wanted to thank all of you for helping to take the Sanctuary over the 10,000 hit mark! Here's to making it 20! ^_^

Wolfe made an official Winamp skin for the Sanctuary and it's now available fro the whole world to see. Go check it out, because it's really cool! I also managed to update the image gallery, despite the great computer crash. Be sure to look at the 40 lovely new pictures that are there for your viewing pleasure. (Can you believe that makes 400 total images!?) Now that I've added some content, I'm going to focus on that new layout I mentioned before. Hopefully it won't take me long, but one never knows...

Bad things always happen when you least expect it. My beloved computer crashed last week for no apparent reason and I lost everything on my harddrive, including all of my web files. In other words, everything I was working on went out the window and it'll be awhile before I can finish the new layout and update the image gallery. Sorry about this, everyone--it upsets me too. But for now, there are 3 new Winamp skins in the Goodies section to tide you over.
