It’s the 13th of August and I’m feeling gooood. That means I should help someone else feel good, right? Okay.
You know how I was talking about JPSEEK the other day? After footling around on their site a bit more, I discovered they also have Japanese magazines and stuff (mostly fashion), up for download.* I like fashion, in a look but don’t touch kind of way. Meaning I could browse a fashion magazine for hours but when I get up I’m going to put on the same old jeans and t-shirt and walk out of the house like that. Money must be spent on video games, know what I mean? Speaking of which, Fire Emblem Shin Ankoku Ryuu!! But that’s a subject for another post.
So, by dint of hard work (and Babelfish), I have found for you the location of these downloadable magazines: here. You have to register, and then you have to post in the thread before you can see the link, but hey, it’s better than paying for it, right? I’m such a nice person, though,
that I’ll give you a freebie: the August edition of Vivi magazine (jpseekers don’t get mad at me, we’re all pirates together). You notice they’re hosting their files on www.fs2you.com. Why u do dis? It’s not the most reliable of sites and may occasionally seem to be down. If it seems to be
down, try updating your hosts file with these:

How do you do that, you ask? Go to C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc. You see a file called “hosts”? Open it up with Notepad. Copy and paste the above at the bottom (under localhost). Save and close. Now try the link again. Ta-daaa! No need to thank me, just send money.
*Flipping through fashion mags is not clinically proven to improve your Japanese, seeing as you’re staring at pictures 95% of the time. Reader discretion is advised.
And that’s all for today!
Edit: All of a sudden fs2you is asking you to install something called Raysource before it will let you download larger files. Like hell we will. Take your crappy filesharing system and stuff it where the sun don’t shine. Thank goodness I milked it for what it was worth when I had the chance.
