First off, the WTF? item for the day: I learned that some Japanese company has come up with a heated bra "not only help prevent global warming but also provide a little fashion chic to the office." O_o

I was flipping through a trade book on comics and other weird crap and saw that some manga called "Sequence" by Saenagi Ryo (which ran in Hana to Yume) was coming out soon in English. The art looked nice (bishies!), the blurb sounded okay (vampires!), but...is it any good? Does anyone know?

I also got xxxHOLIC volume 7 yesterday and immediately devoured it. Ah...how I adore this manga. I really wondered what kind of experiences Yuko must have had to become the woman that she is now. She couldn't have been born with this accepting attitude of cosmic balance and that her role (at least in regards to the people who want her to fulfill their requests) is only to facilitate their wish irregardless of whether it's a good idea or will bring about a favorable result. She couldn't have been born like that....and while I idly wonder about her story, I don't think I want to actually know. Part of her appeal is that she's mysterious, and knowing her backstory would take away from that. ( in any case, a bit more on the actual storyline )

I also picked up Tsubaba volumes 11 and 12, which I will read tonight. More stuff to read! Of course, what I'd really like is the rest of Black Cat. *sighs*

I got lots of sleep last night...apparently too much. Now I'm sleepy, and it's only 10 in the morning. What's up with that?

I feel terribly left out. What is this Episode III mania that has infected everyone??? All of a sudden all my friends are making plans on going as soon as possible (even skipping out on work), the local TV stations have features with total geeks who play SW Trivial Pursuit like it's the most fascinating thing on earth, every single day the newspapers have an article on it...since I won't be able to go anytime soon (and still remember the pain of the disappointment of *winces* Episode I), I will just have to make my own excitement! I will fangirl! Hard!

First off, beri beri naisu Yukikaze fanart. XD

code_renegade has a beautiful layout featuring a gorgeous pic of a very minor pairing. *_* Stunning! I must find doujinshi by this artist! Doesn't matter that the RyoKai pairing is just too weird for me! The art calls to me!!

An amazing lyric book for the FMA Roy Mustang FST had me going O_o. Each song had the lyrics with an image from the anime as a background. Hope the music is good, too.

Speaking of FMA, finally bothered to find out when the movie is coming out. July 23, huh. Wonder when the rest of us will be able to see it? I am trying not to expect like super duper great things (just mostly great things) from it, since being terribly let down sucks (ref: see above). :P

On, and back to FSTs, I downloaded the Macross character FSTs with mini FSTs for the three main characters. Wow, I haven't seen Macross in forever. I know I did see some of Robotech ages ago, but I only really remember seeing the original Japanese anime in college. Ah, I love that anime. Even with Minmay in it. And I love many of the songs from it, in all it's glorious eighties-ness...damn, I need to go dig up the soundtrack. ^_^

And more fanfic goodness (this time drabbles) from tomomichi. Some favs:

Speaking of fanfics, been going through the FujiRyo Ring and checking out all lots of sites. Found a couple of interesting fanfic sites, but nothing that wowed me. Why is good FujiRyo so damn hard to find? *sighs*

...and--I guess I'm done for now. I really need to reply to comments...someday...
