mostly did depressing stuff for the lawyer so i want to talk about something good. But before that, the computer gurus out there want to help me with this. I keep getting the blue screen of death and then this message upon rebooting. I THOUGHT it was that damn new norton but actually last night I pulled out the sandisc pen drive and my computer worked but didn't connect that to this until today when i put it back in (since it has my work stuff on it) and it immediately caused a failure.

So the fun stuff, well go look at my last three bookheaven posts and see all the fun manga I've read

mound of manga one

mound of manga two

mound of manga three this last one discusses the difference between the Chevalier D'Eon anime and manga and since I'm NOT up on the technical aspect of things or news and what not I had a few questions there. But as an example of what I mean about them being vastly different right down to the character design, here:

Anime D’Eon

Anime D’Eon as Lia (note she retains his male clothing which would be advantageous in a sword fight)

Manga D’Eon (sorry, it's SO hard to scan a manga without breaking the spine which i won't do)


Manga D’Eon turning into Lia (included because it captivated me)

Manga D’Eon as Lia (note she insists her brother wear corsets, petticoats, frilly crap, high heels, all the things I want to wear in a sword fight, poor D'Eon, but much more close to reality. D'Eon was a crossdresser)


ETA - Wow, if i had an extra hour in the night I could have met my monthly goal tonight in just a little over two weeks. go me
