Quick Birthday Notes

[armadillo]

1. I'm officially 25 now! Well, technically, I was born... around 5 PM, I think, and it's 2 PM here right now, but who cares about that, right? Mom is cooking mushrooms for me! And then we'll have a cake and peaches, oh man, I love food. And my family.

2. I really love these character notes from the new edition of Hikaru no Go. I'm definitely planning to buy a couple of books from this set - I'll never have enough money for all of them, but damn, my Italian volume #9 is just not enough (I mean, it's awesome and it features Hong Suyong whose cuteness rivals Hiyoshi's cuteness, I simply want more)! I don't even know Italian in the first place. I'm especially pleased with the bit about Waya and Hikaru's friendship. Somehow... it doesn't surprise me at all. Oh, Hikaru, you're so oblivious to... just about everything around you. And the part about Ogata is absolutely hilarious. And, hmm, the segment about Isumi implies that he and Sai are polar opposites of some sort, on the symbolic level. This is so interesting.

3. Where are my New Prince of Tennis scans?!
