Power Pack is Back, if I had kids I’d totally buy this. I’ll probably buy the trade anyway.

how strange

October 20th, 2004 at 9:54 pm » Comments (4)

I’m sitting around after work watching a baseball game. I don’t think I’ve done this before. There must be something in the water.
I taught a class this evening (a very laid-back one, because instead of a professor, this was a class where seniors teach freshmen as part of an advising program), and when they [...]

librarians in your manga

October 18th, 2004 at 11:13 pm » Comments (0)

I read the first volume of Descendents of Darkness a couple weeks ago. I agree with Dorian that it is a pleasant enough manga. It is set in the bureaucracy of the Ministry of Hades.

megatokyo @ your library

I haven’t been keeping up with MegaTokyo recently, mostly because I figure I’ll buy the print collections when they come out, so I was suprised to see that there are now MegaTokyo posters in the ALA store. I might have to pick one up when I go to midwinter…



pants!

Just testing things out with the latest version of wordpress. I’ve been under constant attack from comment spammers (the way wordpress works, none of it has actually shown up on the site, it just gets held in a moderation area for me to delete) so I imagine I’ll be installing some anti-comment spam plugins soon.
