All Anime World

Hi! Sorry' I've been away for a long time. Traffic, you know. I was marooned. Sunspots. A sudden hurricane. That sort of thing.

I've just started watching Zettai Karen Shonen (brand new in April). I'm also early on in Yakitate Japan, and just finishing up Bamboo Blade.

"Chocolate coating makes it go down easier, but you gotta wait fifteen minutes for full potency. And you shouldn't go swimming for - what?'

"An hour."

"Yeah, an hour."

"A good hour."

My good news is that I'm getting commissions! Lots of them! In fact, some brochures I left at a nearby bridal shop paid off, as this morning I got an email from someone who wants me to make a wedding cake topper for them. Suddenly I'm gettin' BUSY! Wow!

It's done. He passed at 4:15 this afternoon. My dad's home.

My dad, Harold Thomasma, is finishing out his last days. He underwent treatment last year for a tumor in his esophagus. He never fully recovered from the chemo and radiation, so they weren't able to get back inside to see if the tumor was really gone. He was eventually able to get up and around, but...

Simply that he didn't have the slightest idea what the previous post said.

Sending psychic hugs Sakura's way. They don't really work that well, but, y'know, it's the thought that counts.

That's a sound mind in a gorgeous body.

I got the girl of my dreams. Then when she dropped me for the guy of her dreams, I wound up marrying the rebound girl. I doubt I was the guy of my wife's dreams, either, but I've turned out to be a pretty good project for the past 20+ years.

The Cat Returns was a Studio Ghibli movie, but Miyazaki let his newer crew work on it, with his supervision. So in that sense, it's not a 'Miyazaki' film.
