Weekend
Sunday, July 29, 2007,9:39 PM
Currently reading a book I borrowed from Weng Jin. Slept over at her place on Saturday and slept at three. Spent time teasing Jo-Yee, our
grandma with seven cats and 20 grandchildren and two hundred kids. (yes, how does she manage?) We both found that Jo Yee says the weirdest things when she is sleepy... and that she is actually a
vampire by night. (not!) In daylight she turns into a wrinkly old grandma.
Nope, not much of anime business last night, we spent our time discussing Vampire Knight and Shiki and Maria Kurenai aka Shizuka(sp?) and Zero and twin. She has the chinese version. Reminds me I must pop by
Kinokuniya is I ever do get the chance! =D
Back to the book, and more art!
Title:
The Mammoth Book of Best New Manga edited by Ilya. No, it's not big-eyed anime or astro-boy or sailormoon stuff, these people actually win awards for their work. Take a look at these- from the following artists whose styles i like:
Michiru Morikawa
