Manga, email, links
9.01.2005 8:37 PM \| Link	Time for another post about a few random topics! First, a little about manga - I wish I had tons of free time to just sit and read manga. It's so relaxing to read fun stories with interesting artwork, and it reminds me of my younger days of comic book addiction. I just finished Yotsuba&! Vol 2, which was absolutely great (and unfortunately reads so quickly!), and I'm getting hooked on Genshiken, too, which is pretty fun to read since the story is about an otaku club that I would certainly like to join. After enjoying three issues of Shojo Beat, I decided I had to subscribe, and I'm not ashamed to be reading what is essentially teenage soap opera stories! When I was in Japan, I saw lots of Nana displays (mainly because of the upcoming movie), and I thought it was cool that I knew about the story, thanks to Shojo Beat. Today I received the most ridiculous email ever! Some guy who wants to buy curb feelers for his wife's car was searching the web for info, and he was actually offended that my goofy opinion on the subject was coming up in Google, rather than stores selling those things. I guess he has no idea how search engines work or what a blog is or any concept of self-expression on the web! Well, his three paragraphs of carefully worded statements definitely gave me a good laugh, and now that I'm mentioning curb feelers again, I'm sure this post will be in other potential curb feeler owners' faces. Here's a few quick links I want to mention: I've been using Last.FM for a long time now (it's tallied almost 6,000 tracks of my iTunes listening), and they recently updated their site design. It looks really cool, so take a look at my listening and try it out yourself! Next, I've recently discovered nihongo.3yen.com, a seriously cool site for Japanese language knowledge! The info is categorized well, and I can't wait to dig through it further. Finally, a new link to WEBmikey! Metroblogging San Francisco had a post about a local circus performance, and they actually linked to one of my circus reviews (see the link "motorcycles circling inside a globe-shaped cage"). I love being linked! Labels: manga
