Whew! Finally some peace and quiet!

This has been an incredibly busy week, at work and at home.

First, our daycare provider became ill, so Matt ended up taking off two days to take care of the baby. Only naturally, the whole house becomes a disaster area within hours, and the girl hasn't had a bath in three days.

Second, I've got a job interview on Friday. (YAY!) And those always take some mental time and stress, as well as updating your portfolio. It's been a while since I last had an interview.

Third, I'm working on another manga adaptation. No title or details until the company's announced their acquisition of the title. Sorry. But I'll say that this is an AWESOME manga! The guys and the girls will enjoy this one!

Fourth, I finally finished Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex 2nd Gig. I thought the ending was perfect, setting the scene for the events in the first Ghost in the Shell movie, with a more philosophical Major, ready to jump into merging her consciousness with the Puppet Master. (Oops, spoiler alert?) I really can't wait to see the Solid State Society movie. I think Bandai said Summer 2007. I hope so.

I also watched the first episode of Gunslinger Girl. Yup, already I can feel the depression and forthcoming love tragedy settling in, but it looks interesting.

The American Otaku column for this week is up. I'd love to get some comments. If only to say that someone's been reading it. :)

LOL I've been reading it, Glyph....

I'm just not sure I understand half of it as I'm starting to believe I'm not the only one here who might not understand it.

What is this manga thing? Some sort of comic book or animation book? I checked out the Books section and our section is filled with manga manga manga stuff.

The newest column has Tokyopop in it...Is that where this manga is from? Tokyo?

It looks like some sort of anime, right?

I've read the columns over the manga stuff but I don't understand any of it so it's hard to comment on it..

Congrats on the new job too!
