 So, they’ve re-released all the rurouni kenshin comics here with spiff new cover drawings!  to get a glimpse, check out http://www.j-rurouni.com/  its all japanese, but they are lots of pretty graphics if you just explore for a bit.

on other topics.  I’ve had a bit of a killer week at work, and Im pretty stressed out.  But there’s only 5 more working days before Im on holidays and off home for a visit.  opps, better start packing!

This will be the last week for Katie and Sophie, so their replacements will be joining us from tomorrow.  And, unfortunately Venus has had to leave the company due to an emergency, so I’ll be the senior foreign instructor at our school soon.  Thats some what nerve-wracking.  I actually wasn’t able to sleep at all last night

I’ll go back to my happy thoughts….

 





interesting weekend…

well, firstly the great news – Christina had her baby on Saturday morning, and they are both healthy (and screaming, apparently).  Alas I haven’t been to visit so I have no photos to share.

Secondly, I finally managed to complete my set of ruroken figures..  Michele is a very very happy girl.  I also geeked out today and did a bit of anime shopping

I also hired out Ged Senki (Tales from Earthsea).  Its a Studio Ghibli anime, however it isnt done by Miyazaki Hayao, but by his son…  And I think it suffers because of that…  its missing a certain something.  But it does have glowing hearts and swords and dragons.  But if my memory serves me well, they really bastardized the book..  Oh well.  And that was a man?  what the?

much to my surprise and pleasure…  they have released a new set of Rurouni Kenshin figures, and I can buy them at my local 7-11!!!  huzzah!

And tonight, I picked Kenshin!  (he’s the heaviest)  Im pretty impressed, its a very nice looking figure, and comes in almost one piece, so it doesnt have that nasty habit of not fitting together, or falling apart…  I see myself trying to sell these on eBay….
