Ooooh! MUST check out Bizengast next time I'm in Kinokunya Bookshop. Gorgeous art, and a sort-of-cat sort-of-called Daniel. I'm sold. They've got masses of manga in Kinokunya, but I tend to look at it uncertainly and then hurry over to look at the Western graphic novels. I have mixed feelings about Manga. Loved From Eroika With Love, but not so much loving At Death's Door. Mostly because it struck me as being, you know, not a very good Neil Gaiman impression, dialogue-wise. Beyond that, I don't know where to start, with Manga, and there's SO MUCH OF IT. Fruits Basket and Prince of Tennis are names I've heard bandied about...?
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Fay, I think Petshop of Horrors would be right up your alley, and I'll always be quick to recommend Bleach.

Our wings are not tired
Gah. Finally heading to bed. Too much work.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, ND, I hope you got some sleep!
I, on the other hand, didn't sleep a wink last night. Combo of sleeping weird hours lately (like 3am-noon), not wanting to oversleep because I have an 8am appointment, and insomnia fairies.
My appt. is the 3rd interview at a school. Great school, only part-time job. Oh, well. It's interview practice if nothing else.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Guess who misread the clock this morning and thought it was 8:21 so she rushed to get dressed to be out of the house no later than 8:40. I'll give you a hint. It's the same girl who now has an hour and a half to kill.

Oh, ND. I hope you're sleeping soundly.
ChiKat, how frustrating! I hope the interview goes well.
Poor DJ! I did the opposite. I thought I could roll over and then shot out of bed when mom called wondering where I was. Oops.
Toto isn't feeling well. I just picked him up from mom, and he's puking and, well, other things. Poor guy. I think it's just stress.

Ann, that's a ferret.
When I had a teenage boy living with me, he rarely bothered with dishes.
What's not to like about washing dishes? It's a chance to play in the water! And if you put a lot of dishes in the water at once, the tougher stuff will be softened up by the time you get to it.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Not that it's crucial to do so or anything, but I read that folks weren't able to see my fambly pic, so I put it up on flickr if anyone still had a burning desire to look. [link]

I walked 8 miles this morning! And, except for some tenderness (not blisterlike) on the ball of both feet...which I attribute to sock issues...I feel great!
And, for my trouble, Podney, my nike+ pedometer gave me a shiny certificate that says I've walked 100 miles with my iPod. Woot!
This actually translates into more because I haven't used Podney for every walk...so even better!
