The Mammoth Book of Best New Manga

This is a manga anthology of new Western artists, edited by Ilya, and just published (I think. At least I haven't seen any mentions of it elsewhere on the intarwebs). It's associated with the International Manga and Anime Festival in London - the lead story won the 2005 prize - and has artists from a number of countries, using a number of styles, with a number of subject and approaches, and ranging from 1 to 60+ pages in length. :)

500 pages, $13.95, and worth it for the first story alone, by Michiru Morikawa. I haven't read any others yet, but I urge you to run out and buy a copy now, just for that first story, which is charming and silly and thought-provoking and surreal and completely free of dialogue. The anthology as a whole seems to be all-ages appropriate.


P.S. Please post and remind me to eat, huh?

Reminder: You should eat some food!

(I seriously considered posting some kind of horrible Yakitate Japan screenshot here, but I didn't.)

Hee. :D Thanks. Luckily, I did eat some food - at lunch I'd gotten a footlong Subway sandwich and stuck half in the fridge and ate that an hour or so ago.

And then started playing the Bard's Tale, and have been playing it and running to Gamefaqs and am now switching to Kimngdom Hearts and will probably last about ten mintues there before doing something else. :D

Sorry, I'm already reminding keelieinblack to eat.

O noes! Now I'll never eat!

LOL. OK, go eat. I just hope telling you too doesn't make keelieinblack jealous.

Go eat something now!
Here are some lovely pictures of cookies (http://allrecipes.com/howto/2006-christmas-cookie-countdown/detail.aspx) (with recipes). Remember, they are only pictures, not actual food.

:D Thanks!

I need breakfast now .... cookies have eggs and flour and milk and good, wholesome things like that in them. Perfect! XD
