Five Things Make A Post
4/5/12 22:331. Naoki Urasawa wrote Yawara? The judo manga that I read bits and pieces of in Mangajin way back in high school? Mind. Blown. (Also, I was just thinking, Hey, Yawara, that was pretty cool, right? I should track that down.)
2. While my brain may not categorize "WTF" as a Swear That I Should Not Say In The Library, it is, nevertheless, probably not wise to say it in the library just because the books are in the wrong place.
3. File under Things I Am Snobbish About, but I itch when I see media tie-in books recommended for really young kids. Parents' lives fill up soon enough with Saturday morning cartoons and happy meals and media put out by giant conglomerations. Sit down and read some Ezra Jack Keats!
4. I walked from the bus stop to the food co-op and home, which is a pretty substantial detour but a nice walk. There are beekeepers in Ditmas Park! They have hives!
5. My monitor is now sitting on my copy of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. This seems like the correct use for a thick, attractive hardcover book that I have no particular desire to reread anytime soon.
