Congratulations on the job! May you ENJOY it as well as getting paid. I feel even more left out by your quiz about Dr Who. Who IS that cute guy? And how many episodes ago was he? Or is he new?

I'm cross-posting a bit as I tried highjacking one of Buggy's threads earlier about this:

Nana! I've been reading the manga! I came across it in a monthly shojo mag that the library carries and then I started buying the books. (The only other series I have are Petshop of Horrors, Mermaid Saga, Maisson Ikkoku, and Fruits Baskets - which I started buying because the anime doesn't show what happened to everyone!) Nana is a great manga, so I can only imagine what the anime is like. Unfortunately, the release schedule is something like one volume every four months. And have you heard the tribute album "Love For Nana"?

That dashing young fellow is, as the caption says, the Eighth Doctor. The series reboot has so far featured Nine and Ten. :) Beyond the caption, he's Paul McGann, prolly best known here for a nearly invisible role in Alien 3, but best known to me as the "I" part of Withnail and I, a peculiar bit of British cinema which is better seen than described. :) And now both stars have portrayed the Doctor! (His costar, Richard E. Grant, was the 10th Doctor in the charity spoof "Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death," then canonical in the BBC webcast "Scream of the Shalka.") Anyway, McGann portrayed the Doctor in the last story of the old series, in the ill-fated (some say ill-conceived but I don't think the idea was that bad) "American" tv movie version of "Doctor Who." We're talking 1996, years after the last episode of the British version had aired. In a very nice touch the movie starts with Sylvester McCoy, the previous Doctor, and we do get a regeneration scene. He's one of my favourite Doctors, and definitely the most human. He also ( ... )

Oh! You should try "Paradise Kiss," by the same author! It's just as romantic, and a lot shorter, and also has a fantastic anime!

Is that by the author of Nana? I've heard of it, but never seen it. How many volumes does it run?
