I am reconsidering my assessment of my toe as non-broken: much of the general swelling has gone down, leaving a nice big lump right at the impact point, and it's actually starting to hurt a bit when I bend it, and throb a little when I'm just sitting there not doing anything. Again, not that it changes anything other than allowing me to whine a lot online and at my mother.

No picture, because my digital camera inexplicably reboots Windows when I disconnect it, whether I disconnect it properly using the Add/Remove Hardware, or improperly by turning it off, and as I'm not wanting to take the time for it to reboot at the moment, I'm not using the camera. (The iPod doesn't do that, however.)





Yeah, ok, I'm really posting because I'm in the midst of writng a Tpop column (on Osamu Tezuka, this time) and am finding all sorts of ways to distract myself. But my toe still might be broken.

What or who is Osamu Tezuka? o_o

Oh.. and poor toe! ;_; *hugs*

Osamu Tezuka is the

God of Manga

(that's the title the Japanese give him - manga no kamisama)

He's the biggest influence in shaping manga as we know it today. :D

Oooooh... I see! Are there some titular titles that can be credited to him?

[telophase.livejournal.com]

I shall direct you to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osamu_Tezuka) and TezukaInEnglish (http://tezukainenglish.com/?q=node/16) for that. :D

He wrote 700 stories and 170,000 pages of manga during his lifetime - in the 1980s was turning out 300 pages a month. O.o

o_o Holy cow.

Yup.

I've referred to him a couple of times in previous columns and figured that I maybe oughta devote one to him so that poeple will have an idea of who he was and how influential he became.
