pacificpikachuI haven't read much manga in a while. I love manga, I just never get around to reading it for some reason! I should read the manga for Chihayafuru and Shingeki no Kyojin at some point, though...
But anyway, I heard good things about Oyasumi Punpun and found myself intrigued, so I decided to start reading it. I'm almost five volumes in now and I utterly love it! It's melancholy, but filled with a lot of truth and beauty. The art is fantastic, too. I definitely recommend it. Even in the first volume, I was already emotionally involved. Apparently it ends on December 27th, so I suppose I picked a good time to start reading it.
Expecting another gigantic Pokémon box! It's probably leaving Japan right about now, so it should be here Monday or something, maybe Saturday if I get lucky. Like the last one, there's a fair amount of random lots of things so it'll be fun to dig around in. I hope I'll find some good stuff to keep as well as some good things to sell! I'm trying to buy my chickens $200 worth of kennel covers, so if sales go well that will be a huge help. I also have a big box from Gin on the way!
I always think I'd like to send holiday cards to everyone, and I really would, but I never end up doing it! It drives me crazy. The problem is this: I want to spend forever on each card, personalizing it, writing a long message, finding extras that fit with each person, and by the time I make one or two I've taken forever and tend to exhaust myself doing this kind of thing. I have a hard time going more minimalist, too, ahhh. Oh well. Maybe someday I can show some restraint... e_____e

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way about cards, too! I want to send cards to everyone, but I would completely exhaust myself if I do it because I tend to go so overboard...
