Wow, yesterday sure was an odd day. Quite literally, sarah and I took a day off. There were some minimal things we did, of course (we do have a store to run you know) but overall, there was very little MT stuff done on my end. Of course, i should have jumped back into chapter 6 dev and writing yesterday, but there was some part of me that really wanted to take a break, so that’s what i did.
Of course, a break for us usually requires a lot of work in other areas
The cats have wrought unbelievable havoc on the apartment in the last month, and we dove in and did some cleaning up and straightening up. We also dumped off an amazing amount of cardboard at the local recycle center (Seraphim and I are recycle freaks, its a pain but i hate the idea of landfilling things that don’t need to go there). The balance of our day was spent christmas shopping - a rather frustrating activity, really. By the end of that exercise, i was ready to collapse, so i puddled myself in my chair and did just that.
I’ve picked up a few new things to read, and i wanna MT rant about them, but i’ll mention em here. First off is Serenity Rose #5 which FINALLY came out. I love the Aaron A’s stuff. Its quiet, but its got depth to it, and the nature of his art amazes me. Good stuff. I also snagged Fruits Basket #6 and World of Narue #3. I love Narue, if nothing else for its haphazard nature. To quote the creator, Marukawa Tomohiro, “This manga isn’t strictly planned. The story is created from my delusions while it is still fresh on my mind every day. Please forgive any inconsistencies in the story.” I swear, i could write the same exact thing about MT.
Another rather evil manga that Cortana has me reading (shakes fist in general direction of California) is NHK. There are levels of wrongness with this manga that make me feel pretty sure that it wont ever find its way to these shores (yes, there are some things morally wrong with this comic :P) but it’s still fun in a twisted kinda way.
Okies, enough of that for now. Time to do some inconsistent writing for Megatokyo now. Gotta at least try to get a comic done in a timely manner for tomorrow.
Oh yeah, i still need to deal with my ipod when i get back to the office. Bleah.

Christmas shopping, what joy.
My favourite mangs (other than MT)is Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, and Ranma 1/2.
Huh, I wish I could wear sandals in the middle of December. We had the first real snowfall taday. Joy. I hate cold.
Wow. NHK is so wrong, it’s good. I’ve never seen anything like it. Yes, It’s easy to see why it’ll never make it to the states.
To whoever reads this: go read it. Right now.
Fruits Basket! ^_^ I’m a FB freak. ~_^ Have fun with your reading!
