rant of saiyuki reload

The new volume(8) came out today! So i thought i'd post my fanpic of one of the characters. Saiyuki is done by Kazuya Minekura. It's published here in the US by Tokyo Pop. And hopefully wont be one of their cut titles. Saiyuki is one giant moody angsty saga about The Journey West. Incidently if the name of the youngest main character Son Goku reminds you of dragonball sound familiar, there's a reason- DB also had its roots from the westward journey. Of course, this isnt your daddy's Journey West.
An aside- I really like it when people retell old stories differently. We dont see that much of it here in the US. I wonder if its because we're a relatively young country or because we have such strong copyright laws. Yeah, let's do a "gone with the wind" as a giant robo mecha catgirl fetish thing. See how far you get with that. Where we do see re-rendering of stories is with things that have fallen out of copyright- there's a reason why publishers like to print out classics - there's no one to pay! Of course, TV has had its historical dramas like davy crockett. And in comics, we do have the elseworld dc stories or the marvel whatifs and i dont know many different redos of shakespeare, poe and sherlock holmes. But we dont have much comic redos of our historical characters. Are we too literal of a people to indulge in george washington slaying those redcoat oppressors from an alien planet with giant robots.- I dont know and i've gotten off-topic and run out of time. tomorrow for sure- the review

haagen-dazs green tea ice cream

Last night when I went to the grocery store to get catfood, I saw that Haagen -Dazs had a LE of green tea ice cream. I'd make a lousy rat- put something new and tasty in front of me, and I'll try it. So here's my report. Very creamy and smooth. The Green Tea flavor is very delicate and sweet. This is a bowl ice cream as it melts very quickly. Not heavy. Overall, a very good ice cream, but my favorite is still Trader Joe's Mochi Green Tea Ice Cream

Here's another picture of Spooky. You can see her white locket here. It's odd having a cat that is still a kitten. She wants to play a lot. Heh, she sits right in front of the door before I go to work. I have to play with her before i can get out the door. I need to get her some grass stuff. she dug into the trash can(The problems with cats that become strays are that they learn to scrounge thru trashcans -rajah(deceased) used to hunt for used dental floss in the bathroom trashcan.- not good. had to hide the dental floss in used tissue cloth.) Anyway Spooky decided she liked the dried up greens of spring onions. Told her I'd get some of the rye grass. So that's my afterwork errand today. Gotten spoiled that Missy never liked grass. But now that Spooky is numero uno cat she is wanting more. She doesnt want Missy's old toys- she'll only play with her own. Just like a kid!

Set a Guinness World Record
Enjoy a Better Web

Sounds like a good deal, right? All you have to do is get Firefox 3 during Download Day to help set the record for most software downloads in 24 hours - it’s that easy. They're not asking you to swallow a sword or to balance 30 spoons on your face, although that would be kind of awesome.

Okay, I finally did a new page for desolation angel tango. Took me a while to round up all my tools. Between my cats and the procrastination fairies, the stuff was all over the place. ;D

Well, next time will be easier!

Lazy Sunday

Today, I did layout stuff for my websites, especially for the blog stuff, i think i like the design now that i've put my banner up. does it say i'm a comicker? ;D
For those of you, who dont know, this is my new cat - Spooky! You cant see it in this picture but she has a white locket. And also white ear guard hairs. She's a stray that I took in after I caught this guy using his dogs to torment her. She was hiding under a bush and he had two dogs on a leash and he was inching them closer and closer to her. They looked like dobermans but i found out later they were a type of coon dogs. I heard that this guy was letting them after squirrels, so maybe he thought a cat would be fun. Anyway, she keeps getting bigger, cause she was a kitten when i got here in late December. She's like a dog- she'll follow me around in the apartment. I'd get another cat but she doesnt seem to like other cats. Another lady in the neighborhood tried to take her in, but she wouldnt get along with her five cats. She didnt get along with Missy either- though she did miss Missy Cat when Missy got put to sleep. Though, with prices going up in everything- I may stick to just one cat.
