I've had a bad evening, but thanks to peeking in my logs, I've had a nice, mystifying, and ultimately funny couple of minutes.

And it's all thanks to Google translate.

Apparently, somebody in Japan was searching for "Yaguruma" and "Kageyama" and somehow ended up clicking on a link to part of "Discovering the Sun". Don't ask me why they were using Romanji instead of Kanji. Don't ask me why they clicked on an English-language fanfic. Somebody in Japan is no doubt terribly confused right now.

What's funny was that when I pasted the link to find out what the person was doing (using google translation is one way of getting around censorware), I got to see that particular entry in Japanese, or at least Google's idea of English-Japnese translation. Apparently, the translator had a few problems: I am now the author of a fanfic called "Sunday's Discovery" (日曜日の発見, for those who can see kanji). Heaven knows what it did to the other ~2000 words, I didn't dare look.

So, yeah, I'm amused.

Edit: That's a no, not a wo. Vague guess at translation corrected.
