the distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
I saw Death Cab for Cutie/Rogue Wave last night with my friend Shar, and didn't get to bed until 1 a.m. I am now appropriately zombified - which just reminds me how old I've gotten - back in the day, I used to be able to stay up until 3 a.m., fall asleep for two hours, then get up again and attend a college lecture without any ill effects.
Which of course has come back to haunt me now.
Anyway: a mess of links/reports/fannish squee:
According to Amazon, there is going to be a lot of Mick Takeuchi glee coming out this year:
Bound Beauty, vol. 1 release date September 15 2008
A Wiseman Sleeps, vol. 2 release date June 15, 2008 (I'm getting this next week.)
Her Majesty's Dog, vol. 10 release date August 15, 2008
Her Majesty's Dog, vol. 11 release date November 15, 2008 *sniff* The last volume!
and Matsuri Hino (of Vampire Knight fame)
Captive Hearts, vol. 1 release date November 4, 2008
Captive Hearts, vol. 2 release date January 6, 2009
Vampire Knight, vol. 5 release date September 2, 2008
Wanted, vol. 1 release date September 2, 2008 I read a scanlation of this a while ago, and I'm thrilled to see it's licensed. Matsuri Hino does PIRATES!
Also, I went to Kinokuniya yesterday (just before coming home and realizing that OMG, Death Cab for Cutie was TONIGHT, or last night) and I bought volume 19 of Kurosagi: the Manga. This weekend I'm going to Yosemite, so scans will be late in coming, but yes - Kurosaki's birthday is February 14, which I thought was a bit rich. And I'm going to miss the release of Wanted and Wall-E. >__< Oh well. It'll do me good to get back to nature.
Courtesy of Unleash the Geek - witness the glory of the Hanadan premiere appearance here and here. Shun looks like all that time hanging out with Johnnies has finally taken it's inevitable toll: he looks like the missing member of a boyband, whereas Matsujun and Shota look like members of an 80s new wave outfit. Abe just looks like he's going to hit the bar running.
Mao looks pretty and summery, and also occasion appropriate. That's why she's the clever mastermind.
For calixa, what Shota Matsuda is up to, besides not being the other half of Erika Toda's OTP in the lukewarm Code Blue (or as D calls it, Dr. Heli and his perm of Doom)

my favorite pictures out of the lot:
AWWWW. HISTORICAL OTP FTW!
If you loved the tech boys in Get Smart, cynicalism, I'm looking at you - they have a spin off DVD of their very own, coming out July 1st.
And now I'm going to go re-read Howl's Moving Castle and stagger off to bed early.

I will reply to comments/stories/bribes/feats of valour next week!
