For tonight, at least. ;-) Here’s a quiz, instead. What Pattern Are You? I <3 plaid. (You could almost say it’s my favorite color.)

Have fun, and remember: You’ll never quite catch up to your “big” Sis! ;-)

Bill Willingham’s valentine to FABLES fans, my copy of Amano’s FAIRIES art book (finally!), plus a bunch of manga that I always end up reading right away! (Yay!) – ANGEL SANCTUARY, Vol. 14 by Kaori Yuki (VIZ MEDIA/ SHOJO) – BASARA, Vol. 18 by Yumi Tamura (VIZ MEDIA/ SHOJO) – BOYS OVER FLOWERS, Vol. 18 [...]

So, the final convention-related post. (At least for a little while.) The dealers’ room was a little hit-and-miss for me this year. You see, I usually try to only buy things at conventions that I can’t find super-easily online. In that respect, there wasn’t too much that screamed “BUY ME NOW!” but I still managed [...]

A few things that Diamond didn’t send previously and more NANA!! – BOOGIEPOP DOESN’T LAUGH, Vol. 1 – art by Kouji Ogata and story by Kouhei Kadono (SEVEN SEAS) – BECK, Vol. 4 by Harold Sakuishi (TOKYOPOP) – NANA, Vol. 3 by Ai Yazawa (VIZ MEDIA/ SHOJO BEAT) – REMOTE, Vol. 9 – story by [...]

Your best bets for a good time on “METROCON Sunday,” if you weren’t into the chess match/AMV/costume action in the ballroom, were the guest panels. I was able to catch ADV Films ADR Director/Producer Kyle Jones’ panel — which consisted of a screening of the MADLAX “Sock Puppet” shorts — and the presentation that followed [...]

SO. The past few days were rather interesting. Action-packed, if you will. Technically, it was a four-day weekend. Friday, however, I spent half the day teetering on the brink of a migraine headache before spending the late afternoon and early evening in bed. Josie was happy about this, and she spent the bulk of that [...]

BLAH! I’m getting a much later start than I had hoped I would. (Yesterday’s late-day migraine threw everything for a loop. >_<) I wanted to catch up with this, though, before convention and Prodigals stuff take over the rest of my Saturday. – CANTARELLA, Vol. 3 by You Higuri – CROSSROAD, Vol. 3 by Shioko [...]
