Long time no blog, eh? akai SKY has been quietly preparing and recording our first EP. We haven’t decided when we’ll release it yet, but it should be soon.
In the meantime, I thought I’d share a scary/gross story…. about the time I came home last week and found a giant spider hanging out on a curtain in my bedroom. OK – it wasn’t a tropical-sized tarantula or anything but it was plenty big – about the size of my thumb plus legs.
Bleh!
I know what some of you will say. “It’s just a bug.” “It’s more scared of you than you are of it.” Well, I wasn’t about to just pretend it didn’t exist, go to sleep and have that thing bite or walk all over my face thank you. I caught it, named it Melinda and escorted it off the premises. And by escorting, I actually mean I flushed it down the toilet.
And that’s just the latest episode of the spider invasion. Where the heck are these things coming from!?

It’s a new year and I’m cleaning out the bookshelves. I’ve got a ton of manga I’m selling off/giving away and a few American comics as well. Scares me a little how many volumes I own.
I remember when I first started collecting manga. The first series I remember picking up was Kodocha. From there I picked up Marmalade Boy, Getbackers and too many others. This was probably around when Tokyopop started making stuff readily available.
The last few years I’ve been decreasing my manga intake and returning to American comics, my favorite from back in the day. I love the superhero stuff. Marvel is putting out some really good stuff with Daredevil, Captain America and Iron Man right now. DC is also doing quite well with Batman. Of course, I’m also into less mainstream stuff like DC’s Vertigo titles. Still, on the manga side, I’m trying to keep up with Urusawa’s Pluto and Yotsuba.
Anyone have any favorite series right now? From anywhere in the world?
Peace,
~ryuusei

Merry Christmas, and to the British folks, Happy Christmas! Hope you are all having a wonderful day however you’ve chosen to spend it. I thought now would be the perfect time to spread a little Christmas cheer by sharing some photos of Christmas decorations I found while visiting Hong Kong and Tokyo recently.
