MoonShadow and SunKitten's journal

Good bits:
- Just got back from an amazing holiday in Japan with Carol; many fun times were had. Highlights of the trip include Nikko and its beautiful red-leaf-covered mountains, a ryokan with hot springs and yummy food, and cat cafes of all kinds. More photos will come, no doubt ;)
- I was really pleased that my most recent comic, Sun Fish Moon Fish, got a good review at Anime Picks *^^* Thanks very much to Neil who wrote the review.
- My Advent Calendar is running again (only just managed to get it done in time!)

Things to do:
- Finish the Advent Calendar! I left it a bit late... ^^;;
- One short story to write, one long one to edit.
- I really want to do another chapter of Patchwork Sky - #5 would finish off the story arc and I might even manage to get a book out next year ;)
- Along the same lines, I need to find a printer who'll do A6 landscape colour at an affordable price so I can print the first year of A Pocketful of Clouds.
- Mr. toothycat made a really good suggestion for some cards based on A Pocketful of Clouds which I'd really like to do.
- I want to get back to the Dutch translations of A Pocketful of Clouds which my friend has kindly been providing. I'm really behind :(
- Work out how to get comics in Kindle format on Amazon. It's not that it's difficult, I just haven't had the time *grrr*
- Lay out a flyer design for the cafe at my church, which I've been horribly forgetful about.

Worrying faff:
- It's December! Where did November go? I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet!
- The DVLA seem to think they need another photo for my driving licence. I hate going into town on Saturdays, but I suppose it'll fit in nicely with the need to go Christmas shopping.
- I probably ought to make an optician's appointment - it's been two years since my last and they're offering me one for £10. But that means they're going to puff air in my eyes, which is always really painful ¬.¬

Let's see if I can manage to keep updating this - anything more frequent than once a year is an improvement, really ;)

This is a post made by request, as a summary of the anime we saw and enjoyed at Minami this year. The whole con was a good one, in fact, especially the cooking and Akemi Solloway's lesson on the history of Japan. I was, however, particularly pleased to find several anime I hadn't seen before and rather enjoyed :) I did also find some that weren't so good but I can't remember any of them except D-Gray Man. That was a shame since it had promise but failed to deliver.

Anyway, on to the good ones, which I shall put under a cut for the people on here who aren't interested ^^

Serge's computer is off. There is something very unsettling about the lack of low-level fan noise in the living room right now o.O;;

Yesterday, Morag took me to see some owls *^^*

I'll be singing in my church choir again this Christmas :) Sadly I'm away for one of the carol services - the only one I can make is the evening of the 5th December. If anyone fancies coming, let me know or just turn up, whatever ^^

Go here, and start reading at the paragraph beginning "For the past 20 weeks I have been engaged in a very strange dialogue"...

Conspiracy theories are starting to propagate around the net. Personally I believe the Lord is having an elaborate joke.
