something I am grateful for today

Last night we had lasagna, which means tonight it will be leftover lasagna. Leftover is even better -- I think it needs time to cure or something....

comics with heart

Lately I've been deeply moved by a number of stories I've been reading or watching, where something seems to touch close to my heart. It's usually small subtle things as opposed to sweeping soapish melodrama, but I feel like there's deep truth in the corners of these stories. I find myself wishing I could write something [which in my case means a comic] that could reach people the same way.

I also find myself wondering if I even have any similar deep feelings and insights of my own, or if I'm capable of expressing them. In other words, if I'm gonna write something, then what do I have that I can say?

I've been stuck at that point for years....

manga surprise!!

This mornin's shelves at Chapters greeted me with the simultaneous release of both volumes of What a Wonderful World! by Inio Asano! I hadn't even heard that it was coming out at all! Being an immense fan of his Solanin, as I've said here more than once before, I have been hoping to see more of his work. Obviously I am now deeply looking forward to the new read that awaits me.

so no one told you life was gonna be this way

If I thought you were my friend, then I still think you are, even if you haven't spoken to me for many yonks. The only way I will get the hint is if you explicitly “break up” with me.
