Blog Recommendations: Manga Junkie

by ardith
I’ve been reading manga in Japanese for a few years, but my skills are no where near perfect (or even that good.) Of course, I have friends who have much more manga reading power on my side, giving me suggestions… leaving things in the bathroom for me to read later.
 
 
You may recognize her blogging style from other blogs, but Shizpoo has started an indie manga blog about manga she reads, but could not really release in the US. *laugh* There is even a rating of whether or not a certain company would release it! Visit Manga Junkie and learn about obscure, but fun, manga.

It’s very, very early

by ardith

Arrived at 4am. I’ll be leaving MN at 10 pm tonight, arriving 1am tomorrow in LA. Can’t stop yawning, but I can’t really sleep. Waiting for Target to open up to get some toothpaste. TSA doesn’t want me to brush my teeth!

I’m in a bagel shop in Bloomington. They’ve got Wi-Fi. Thank goodness. At least I can spend some restful time in a booth, surfing the internet and deleting spam from my email accounts.

Maybe I *should* take a nap. I think my mind is wandering too much. That and there are times when they become crossed.

9am. Mall of America.

Then v. important meeting.

Then Mall of America again(?)

And then home.

I can’t wait to get home, crawl into bed, and sleep. I’ve got an hour before Target opens. *sigh*

A New Hope

by ardith

Well, I’m flying to New Hope, MN for a meeting with Navarre. They distribute for our anime line, Synch-Point. I’m arriving waaaaay early tomorrow and leaving waaaaay late tomorrow night.

It should be interesting. I’m looking foward to it since I really haven’t been in that part of the country. I’ll have a few hours to look around. Visit the Mall of America. According to WikiPedia, Minnesota is part of the Great Plains. Oh, and it’s near a Great Lake. That’s a lot of Greats…

I can’t say I’m looking forward to the check in stuff at the airport. I’ve a feeling it’s going to be suckful. *sigh* I’m carrying on a laptop, DVDs, a change of clothes, and some books. Flight at 10 pm. Planning on leaving work at 6:30pm to park and check in. 3 hours ahead of schedule.
