I've started a couple of new stories over at [info]readthisnext: the beautiful and funny manhwa They, Too, Love, and the wrong, wrong, wrong Desire Climax. Check 'em out if you're so inclined.

You know, I was on All Sexy Things Considered once. bit.ly/5evq9B

I think I get my knickers in a twist about reviews precisely because I can't write however/whatever I want. Maybe I'm jealous. ^_^

Miss Celia the Wonderkitty is EXTREMELY affectionate tonight. It must be cold in the other room.

RT @GoodComics4Kids Eva hosts a roundtable on comics we wish existed: bit.ly/5cQi20

A coworker asked if she should buy Paradise Kiss for the library. I wanted to say, "Bwa? Aha ha Aha ha ha!" But what I said was, "Umm, yeah"

Thanks to an anonymous tip, I'll be starting Shining Inheritance next. 28 episodes, though ... that's a big commitment for me.

Today's #mangamonday is Itazura na Kiss from DMP. Shojo so charming I stayed up past my bedtime last night to finish it.

OK, I've finished watching Beethoven Virus on DramaFever. While I wait for season 2, what should I watch next?

Holy crap, you guys! Look what @debaoki brought back from Comitia for me! (I teared up a little. I did.) yfrog.com/4gyn5j

I've stayed up past my bedtime to finish reading Itazura na Kiss. It's the most charming manga I've read in a long time.

Picked up an extra turkey carcass at the butcher and now have 3 big pots of turkey soup makings on the stove. Springtime Thanksgiving yum!

What I learned this Thanksgiving: the secret to having juicy breast meat is to seriously undercook the thighs. By a lot.

Stupid Terry Gross on stupid Fresh Air played the stupid Carpenter's song Close To You. Guess what's been stuck in my head for HOURS!

Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are ... GAH!

I have a burning desire to visit Hokkaido. I'm not sure why, especially given my irrational fear of urban snow. Maybe just avoid Sapporo?

Snow just reported that she's gotten almost 500 books to read for Printz. I'm starting to feel woozy...

Thank you to whoever turned me on to DramaFever. I'm not getting much else done, but I'm having a great time not doing it.

Something under my house has died and I can't hide and I just can't take it.

Oh, Korean motionless hugging, how you intrigue and frustrate me.

Spent most of today rereading the non-fic nominees for GGNFT, which hammered home once again how hard it is to write entertainig non-fiction

So many things I want to add to this @Comics212 post about "all-ages" comics, but none of them are actually on topic. bit.ly/8iJESJ

In despair of finding new ways to procrastinate, I've reverted to an old way of procrastinating. I've started posting chapters of some of my favorite unlicensed manga over at [info]readthisnext, picking up where I left off. I have some lovely josei (Baby Pop and Bara no Tameni) as well as the ever-popular, ever-fun Gokusen.

Who knows how long I'll keep going this time, but I'm enjoying revisiting these stories, so hopefully this posting thing will last a while.

In case of future spam attacks, if I send you a DM where "you're" is spelled UR, or I ranDOMLY capitalize letters, it's not really me.

Is it news that Simon Jones is on my list of imaginary boyfriends or did you all assume that was a given?

Oh, wait. That would be No Flying No Tights. @nfntrobin, when is that revamp coming? ^__^

Now that I'm more awake, I'm even more annoyed by the patronizing jibberish in those "get your girlfriend to read comics" articles.

It's exactly as bad as someone saying, "Get your boyfriend to read romance! Suzanne Brockman? Of course! Navy Seals!" Bah.

Folks, I got caught by the DM spam. Don't open any link you get from me today!

That's the one! That's the article that set me off: RT @laura_hudson: Women CAN enjoy comics? WELL GOLLY! bit.ly/1F7K3q

OMG! In the preview of ep11 of You're Beautiful there's a completely stiff, expressionless, dry kiss between 2 major characters! Can't wait!

Folks, I would consider it a personal favor if you all would stop recommending shows for me to watch. I've gotten nothing done this weekend.

Seriously, nothing. Well, except get caught up on You're Beautiful. Oh, sappy romantic Korean crackfest, how I love you so.
