I am now officially an otaku - I have completed one manga series, which is now currently sitting on my shelf. I purchased the final, 18th, volume of Hiroki Endo's Eden on Friday, for PLN 22,90 (volume 1 cost me only 16,00, but I got it at a reduced price ( Read more... )

I have long ago come to the conclusion that it is not how hard you fight your battles, but how you choose your battles that counts. In a way, it does not matter whether you're walking or running, as long as you are on the right road. What I am trying to say is that, it is more important to know on what to expend your efforts than doing the job ( Read more... )

I just finished the graphic novel "Carnet de Voyage", by Winsconsin-born Craig Thompson, better known as the creator of "Blankets" and "Goodbye, Chunky Rice""Carnet de Voyage" is a hand drawn travel diary of Thompson's France/Spain signing tour and Morocco vacation.

Smeyer describes her as an uber-editor and I couldn't agree ( Read more... )

Welcome to Phase 2 of Project M.A.P.L.E., the in-depth, no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners, hyphenate-shit-a-lot reading of Stephenie Meyers "Twilight" vampire romance novel.

Welcome to Project M.A.P.L.E., or Project "Mary-Sues and People Loathing 'Em". This project was born in my mind when we, as in me and Anna, discovered Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight".

Byłoby to dla ( Read more... )
