8 June 2003:
According to the official Bish
jo Senshi S
r
M
n Web site and Anime News Network, a live-action version of the series will begin to air on Japanese television this fall. Could that mean more articles at DIES GAUDII? Maybe!
There are three more images in the Hotaru Bikini Images! section. My A Brief Commentary on Sailor Pluto and King Endymion article has been revised.
7 June 2003:
There is a new main page! How do you like the Hotaru bikini picture? I like it a lot!
My new Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon and Sailor V Dictionary for the JWPce Japanese word processor is ready!
5 June 2003:
I finished my The Amazon Trio and the Amazones Quartetto article. It is really a shorter version of my older Amazones, Not "Amazoness" article.
It is going to be my birthday two days from now. I will be 24! Anyway, something nice is going to happen to DIES GAUDII then!
3 June 2003:
I changed the Seihai and the Holy Grail and “Sailor Super Guardians” sections of the Debunking Common Misconceptions article.
2 June 2003:
One section of the Sailor Saturn's Anime Powers article was revised. Sailor Saturn, in the anime, does not die after she attacks Master Pharaoh 90.
I may redo the Amazones, Not "Amazoness" article soon. It is too long and the point is much simpler than the article makes it seem.
30 May 2003:
I made some changes in several different articles and PDF files: Code Name Sailor V Etymology, “Monsters of the Days” List, List of Magical Powers in Bishjo Senshi Sr Mn and Kdonmu wa Sr V, Debunking Common Misconceptions.
14 May 2003:
I changed part of the Queen Metallia section of the Dark Kingdom Etymology article.

Yes, there are four more entries in the Debunking Common Misconceptions article.

Ah, Kalendae Maiae! I like spring!
Anyway, I revised the Helios or Elios? article. Notice that I originally wrote the article more than two years ago!
I also made some changes in the The Origin of Queen Nehellenia's Name article.
25 April 2003:
The Orange section of the Bishôjo Senshi Sêrâ Mûn SuperS Movie Etymology article has been renamed to Orangeat. It seems that Orangeat is the name of that orangey fairy. I also changed part of the Marzipannu Castle section.
21 April 2003:
I added two more entries to the Debunking Common Misconceptions article.
It is good to know that people are posting messages in the FORUM LUNARE!

April fools! See if you can read the Latin text!
30 March 2003:
I changed some things in the Demand and Saphir sections of my Black Moon Etymology article.
28 March 2003:
No, I did not make many changes here. I do have something to say, though. Some of you may be aware of a fan-translated version of the Bishjo Senshi Sr Mn Another Story video game. Although I like the fact that there is a translation of the game, there are certain parts of that translation that bother me. The translators mention a "city" of the "Marle Serenitaties." Anyone who knows much about the features of the moon knows that Mare Serenitatis is name of a "sea" that is on the moon. The astronomer and Latin language enthusiast in me are not happy about that "Marle Serenitaties" thing. I really wish people would look things up.
25 March 2003:
My An Analysis of the Parallel Sailor Moon Story article is ready now!
24 March 2003:
My Analysis of the Parallel Sailor Moon Story article will be ready tomorrow.

10 March 2003:
The Dead Moon Etymology article is ready!
8 March 2003:
I changed a whole bunch of things in the Sailor Saturn's Anime Powers article. The changes were made in order to make things clearer.
The Kousagi/Chibiusa Eldest Daughter Problem and the Comments on Lynn's "Rumors" sections have been removed.
5 March 2003:
The Dead Moon Etymology article will be ready on 10 March 2003.
3 March 2003:
Yes, there are even more entries in the Debunking Common Misconceptions article now.
1 March 2003:
Ah, so the Worst Sailormoon Pages Ever Web site has officially become a static site. Personally, I could not care less. Others may be disappointed that the "Amazoness Quartet" will not be updating their site anymore. That is fine; de gustibus non disputandum est. Although I appreciated what the "Amazoness Quartet" did for the Bishjo Senshi Sr Mn online "community" (if you wish to call it that), there is something about them (or the way they do things) that I gradually began to resent.
Most of my aversion to those people is based on the fact that they banned me from their message board. Apparently, they banned because I was being "inflammatory" or something else that is just as vague. (Yeah, but I guess they did not seem to be bothered by how many of the visitors liked to bait me with the "wall of ignorance" and "style over substance" nonsense.) That was almost two years ago. As of today, my Ian Miller account is still banned. I guess the ban is virtually permanent. (They probably do not even remember or care that I am still banned.) It is not like I really care about being banned, anyway. Even if the "Amazoness Quartet" (and the other people who maintain the message board) lifted their ban, I would not go back there. Many of that message board's denizens subscribe to the ridiculous style over substance fallacy. I will not visit a place where the style of my argument is also judged along with its validity.
The "Amazoness Quartet" have a section that lists what they call "Recommended Sides." (Well, of course DIES GAUDII is not listed!) Personally, I do not agree with many of their choices. (I never thought that the Memoirs of a Fish Web site was very interesting.) Perhaps they will add more sites to their list.
This is where I get to the point. I may create a new section for DIES GAUDII that is devoted to Bishjo Senshi Sr Mn Web site reviews. (I can just see people saying, "Ian? Reviewing? Run for the hills!") Well, do not worry. I have some experience reviewing Web sites. Also, I promise not to be too harsh! It should be understood, though, that the section is simply an idea right now. What I have said above should not be construed to mean that I will create such a section. If you interested to see whether I will do it or not, please check back here often.
27 February 2003:
See the new entries in the Debunking Common Misconceptions article!
25 February 2003:
There is now a mineral section for the Code Name Sailor V Etymology article.
23 February 2003:
Visitors should find the Ten Annoying Mixxisms article amusing!
In the Original Picture Collection I, Naoko Takeuchi wrote that the phrase memento mori is French. One fan says that it is a Latin phrase that means "remember that you will die." It is a Latin phrase, but I do not agree with that translation. The memento is the singular future imperative of meminisse. It means remember (to)! in the sense that you are telling someone (one person) to remember something from now on. (Notice that meminisse is similar to mnemosyne, which means memory in ancient Greek.) The mori is the infinitive of a verb, so it means to die. A more accurate translation of memento mori is remember to die.
22 February 2003:
The Dark Kingdom Etymology article is ready.
21 February 2003:
I find it strange that the toy version of Sailor Pluto's Garnet Orb is called the "Cronus Orb" (
Kuronusu 
vu) on its package. I may write an article about the three Talismans someday.
My Dark Kingdom Etymology article will be ready tomorrow!
18 February 2003:
My Bishjo Senshi Sr Mn and Logical Fallacies article has been updated.
14 February 2003:
Happy Valentine's Day, people!
