Um, I don't think I'm an old hand, but I'm not brand-spanking new either. Hmmm...But I really love your kitty spam--oh! Meant to tell you that clipping Murphy's claws has solved the scratching problem, he has been saved from de-clawing. Huzzah!

Besides the fact that I always love librarian LJs and blogs, I have been meaning to read your manga analysises (<---how the heck do you pluralized that?!), but as of yet, have not gotten around to it. *cringe*
