something I am grateful for today

The Brothers of the Head soundtrack -- every so often I need to remind myself how much I love it. Recent repeated listenings are doing it for me again now!

digging manga

Just finished reading 20th Century Boys #14 and really enjoyed it, as if there would be any doubt. It remains one of my all-time fave manga.



It's one of those series you can count on. Every volume of 20thCB contains a surprise that I never saw coming. Just like every volume of Yakitate!! Ja-pan contains a genuine hearty laugh, and every volume of Bakuman contains an insight or a new way of looking at the art and craft of creating comics.

Coincidence that these are all among my top faves? I doubt it.

Someday soon I hope to be able to tell you what I can always count on finding in Cross Game -- once I've read a few more volumes...
