We interrupt this journal to bring you shrieks of unholy glee
I have a million things I want to be posting about (and I am hoping to get to some of them tomorrow), but I feel like I just need to get this off my chest first, because I can't put it into a more general post where people might get spoiled ( Read more... ) -
One Piece 34
YAY, just a last little bit of Foxy and we can get to the good stuff!
Water 7/Enies Lobby: best arc ever or best arc ever? (To be honest, it's awfully hard to choose. Alabasta and Marineford are in the running, but Water 7 is way up there.)

One Piece 33
Not sure when mangaroo expects to have this in hand, but I’m going to try to hustle through it, because I find this (mercifully short) arc so painfully dull and unfunny. wrenwyn thought the anime version of it was hilarious, though, so… I hope someone finds something worth enjoying in it.

Icon madness

I owe all kinds of catch-up posts, including a trip report, but in the meantime, have a meme from firesign101. Reply to this post and I will pick five of your icons ( Read more... ) -
Manga impressions
Since I had a bit of extra time today, I tried to organize my thoughts in writing on all the things I've read in the last few days. As so often, it turned into a monster post (HOW do you guys manage to review things so succinctly?). So, out of pity on the reader, I think I'm going to break it up into several posts over the next few days. (Bonus: I ( Read more... ) -
Absent, but not gone
I just wanted to apologize for not having been around on LJ lately. I really want to get back to the One Piece posts! But besides getting adjusted back to life post-sabbatical (which is going busily, but well), the main reason I haven't been around is that I've been getting physical therapy since August for persistent pain in my left arm.

One Piece Vol 31
[Cut to spare anyone who would consider my reaction to this volume a spoiler]Damn you, Oda, this is stealth heartbreak. Skypiea is all dial technology blah blah, Enel boring boring, fight fight yawn fight, all of a sudden FLASHBACK CRYYYYYYY. I call foul!
Actually I love this volume a lot. Light the flame of Shandora!
Also, Luffy, feel free to kill Enel ANY DAY NOW.
