ah the joys of trying to get back in the swing of things... *sweatdrop* sorry for lack of updates, i've been having trouble with my server of all things... I should have lots to talk about, shouldn't I... with all the busy I've been lately... "TILT" is just about ready to post, I've been kinda working on it in secret, shhhhh.... i've got the html ready to go and all, i'd just like to get about ten more pages done on it. It's going to be in b & w, though it has the screentone look to it, like "into the well" if anyone here reads that... anyway, it should be a throughougly fun story, not as serious as PoaFA at all... I'm putting "My Saiya-jin and Me" on hiatus for now, seeing as it has gotten very little response. I'll probably just take it down and use the webspace for something else... anyway... let's see... I've been doing a LOT of reading since I moved, catching up on some titles recommended by some friends of mine... I just got through "City of Bones" by Martha Wells, which was a truly excellent read. It's set in a desert city, highly detailed, great dynamic characters... etc... I posted a pic of my version of the main character, "Khat" on the main page of my site, for one of this month's artworks. cute guy, go look! lol, he's not quite human, he's a Krismen, or in otherwords, part of a race of people that can actually survive in the desert without much water. they're also immune to almost any kind of poison, which is good in khat's case... though khat also has some other... rather strange things about him... he's cool though, has eyes that change color according to mood, etc...it's quite good, lots of magic, supernatural stuff... I'm in the middle of another book "Fallen Host" which... I wouldn't really recommend, but I'm inclined to finish it anyway.

In the way of anime's and manga's to read or watch, please PLEASE check out the links section on the main page and go to "Toriyama's World" or "Aku-Tenshi.com" both of these are GREAT manga resources. they've got scanslations in abundance!! at toriyama's world, MUST READ, "Hikaru No Go" the series is just plain awesome. You'll love it lots. Also at the Aku-tenshi site, "DNAngel" is so so so good. Dark Mousey is such a bishy, you'll love it... for the more action oriented, there's "Shaman King" or "Trigun Maximum" both very good manga's. I'll get some links up soon, as to where you can download. OH!!! must add this one as well, "Wish" is sooooo very good. Adorable!! I about cried reading it. Maybe I'll just put it somewhere for download, since it's fairly short series. It's by CLAMP, the people that brought you "X," "Card Captors," "Magic Knights Rayearth," and "Angelic Layer." It's a very sweet manga about Archangels and Demons and is soooo cute.... there's even a Sango and a Kohaku in it... (those of you who watch or read Inuyasha will understand the reference) anyway, this is one of my longest rants ever...

I finished watching "comic party" and I managed to get my hands on "Inuyasha: the love that transcends time" yeah, that's the movie.... WHA!!! SO SO SO CUTE!!!! it's an emotional rollercoaster, but so well worth it!! Good ending!! wai!! ^-^ and comic party, as usual... is comic party.... "we... broke... sound... barrier!!!" wha! so funny... and it had a 4 part omake ending... fear the omakes.... anyway, it's about time i cut this rant off, enjoy the comic
