A Potpourri Post A question for anime people: I love watching Rightstuf.com, and keeping an eye on their sales. Are there other websites on the Internet that I should be watching? Look at some sweet Scott Pilgrim art! The characters are super hero-fied. If you haven't read Scott Pilgrim yet, you totally should. Dave, I'm looking at you. I haven't had time to read the entirety of this entry, but it's titled "Female, Muslim, and Mutant: A Critique of Muslim Women in Comic Books – Part 1 of 2," and it sounds very interesting. Spoilers for Tsubasa, volumes 14 and 15 OMF, confrontation between Fai and Kurogane! I want to know Fai's tragic backstory! And I love the look on his face when he makes it clear that dying for someone else is totally different than himself happening to die in battle. What's up with this copy of Syaoran? But if the eye is HIS, then maybe protagonist!Syaoran is actually the copy?! OMG KAMUI! Wahhh, it's totally cool that Kamui and Fuuma had their teams flipped! A universe where Kamui chose Teh Evil Side! Sometimes I feel like Sakura is really trying hard, but then there are times like these, when Fai is all, "I'm glad she's asleep for this horrible world, it would be too much for her." O RLY? It just....makes me roll my eyes, I guess. I miss the old Sakura. In conclusion....things are getting wacky, and I might need to begin figuring out another way to consume this manga, as the waiting list at the library is something like 20-40 people deep per volume, and there are only 3 copies of each volume.

A rare morning post....that was written last night before I fell asleep on my laptop Today was pretty sweet. As difficult as it may be to believe, I never read Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness quartet when I was young. I think that I randomly read the third book, but that was it. I read Alanna: The First Adventure a few weeks ago, and loved it. This morning, In the Hand of the Goddess was waiting for me at the library. The premise of the books is that Alanna and her brother Thom switch places so that Alanna can learn to be a knight in a world that only allows boys to do so by pretending to be "Alan," and Thom can learn to be a sorcerer by pretending to be her. Anyway, the books are adventurous and fun, and the heroine actually works to become a good fighter. I do think that her way of naming things is lame, though. Seriously - a horse named Moonlight, a sword named Lightning, and a cat named Faithful. Could be a little more lame, Alanna?? I've also read the first volume of Bryan Lee O'Malley's "Scott Pilgrim" comics, and holy shit, are they awesome and hilarious. Everyone should read Scott Pilgrim! I recommend it especially to Dave, Steph, and Antoine. DO IT. Anyway, the Senate was in session today. Unfortunately, Wisconsin Eye is getting really good at cutting us pages out of their camera shots. BUT! If you go here, scroll down to "01.15.08 | State Senate Part 2" and click "Watch," you can see me at 18:12 - 18:24. On the left side of the screen, someone comes to get me, and I leave to do an errand. You can tell it's me by the brown curly hair! Then, Antoine and I went out for dinner! And it was really good. I also managed to be productive today by setting up appointments with career advisor people, and got my prescription filled. AND, a random Anime Club member sent me some amazing art to use on a flier. And I tried to make a flier, although my Photoshop skills suck. Still. Flier. Now, if only I could clean my room..... :( Labels: a: pierce tamora, books, books: ya, comics, comics: scott pilgrim, work scribbled mystickeeper at 7:19 AM
