Neko Machi's first ever bit of comic content is now online. Granted, it's the chapter heading (chapters will be bookended by a chapter heading and character profile), but still. I'm entirely too happy that it's finally up. :3

I'm also doing NaNoWriMo, and bending the rules a little bit in a bid to finally finish up UFO Girl, a novel I've been trying to write for entirely too many years. I'm liking how it's turning out so far, though I don't think I could've written nearly as effectively back when I came up with the idea. Plus I did talk Rachel and Chuck into driving out to Roswell last year (it's like 3 hours from Albuquerque) for research for it.

My sleep schedule's been a bit out of whack the past few days. It's going to take a while for me to get back to sleep.

Yeah, a month since my last post and time to find an excuse to say something again. Why not manga this time?

So, Berserk is still averaging what? Around nine chapters a year? And several of the last year have been a textless string of splash pages. Guts is perhaps nearly to Elfheim, but then again, he's been heading there for the last nine or so years. (He sets off for Elfheim around the middle of Vol 22, and the chapter itself probably dates to around late 2000?)

For anyone who stopped reading Black Lagoon because of the El Baile De La Muerte storyline, that arc finally ended. What was probably supposed to be some epic event bringing many characters and plotlines into one big story devolved into never-ending suck. Even the writer apparently realized it was spiraling into nowhere, as the series was put on hiatus, then restarted with most of the characters and plotlines silently dropped. That was a very good idea, as the story wrapped up fairly quickly once it was jumped to outside the city and with only the key characters present. Plus Roberta was put back into her maid outfit and the modified rifle, originally played up as important before being forgotten entirely, returns to play a key part in the battle.

I love Conan. Thank you for enlightening me to this, Kou! XD

Hmmmm... now do I want to play SSF4, which will likely introduce a lot of useless characters who pale against shotos... I mean, I could be T-Hawk... bleh, or do I want to play BB:CS, where I could play as MICHAEL JACKSON WITH A ROCKET PUNCH?!

My answer should go without saying. :3

Regardless, the game looks really cool. I like how other things now seem to be blown about by Rachel's wind, and Hazama's gameplay is another weird but fantastically fun (or so it appears to me) character specific mechanic that will fit in well with the rest of the cast. I wasn't particularly impressed by Tsubaki, but I guess I haven't seen as much of her either. And she doesn't resemble "Moonwalker" too. ;B
