My newest weapon to try to lure people to Damo!

 Anyone want to animate this for me, slow enough to be read, if possible?  (No, the words aren't quite even, but who will notice?)

( When in doubt, bring out the shirtless, angsty swordsman! )

I just want to say...

 THAT EVERY MINUTE I AM TRAPPED IN THIS BUILDING TODAY (AND ANY TIME THAT I WORK TOMORROW) IS OVERTIME PAY!

THIS MAKES THE WHOLE "VIRTUALLY ALONE IN A HUGE BUILDING" THING MUCH, MUCH EASIER!!

 Rightstuf now lists Samurai Deeper Kyo Vol 30's release date as being in 2012.  That...ah...Is what they've changed the release dates of cancelled things to.  Like, you know, the second Kino no Tabi novel.  But Amazon still shows the "right" dates for vols 30 and 31.

*frets*

TOKYOPOP!  I HAVE BEEN BUYING THIS FROM YOU FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS!  MAYBE A BIT LONGER!  DON'T CANCEL IT ON ME!  (With Fruits Basket and Saiyuki safe, this and the Twelve Kingdoms novels are the only things I'll really be upset about if they're cancelled.  Everything else is either completed in US publication, or I haven't read enough to be invested yet.)

And there aren't even full scanslations if it is cancelled...

4 more Sliders thoughts

 1.  They actually had an episode devoted to "if women ruled the world, the world would suck."

2.  Neither Tall, Cynical Boy nor I are any good with science.  We both spent the "Quinn is stuck in the astral plane" episode laughing non-stop at the epic fail of the science.  Also, the girl who saw ghosts sure was eager to announce it every 5 seconds.

3.  What's-his-face that plays Quinn  is so good at the dumb and clueless look that we forget he's supposed to be a genius.

4.  Why are  all alter!Arturos evil, and all alter!Quinns saintly?  Do they not realize Arturos are superior to Quinns?  And most other things...

The Chronicles of Chrestomanci Omnibus 2 by Diana Wynne Jones

The two books in the second Chrestomanci omnibus, The Magicians of Caprona and Witch Week, are not actually about Chrestomancis, but set in the same multiverse, with Chrestomanci(I’m assuming both are Christopher?) playing a supporting role later in the books.

TMoC is set in an alternate Italy, focusing on the feud between the Montanas and the Petrocchis, two clans of wizards who have been enemies for two hundred years, and who provide the city of Caprona with its war spells. When Tonino Montana and Angelica Petrocchi-two children who aren’t good with magic-are kidnapped and the families told not to make anymore war spells, the two clans are quick to blame each other. Thankfully, the younger generation hasn’t had time to get that bad. In addition to Tonino and Angelica working to save themselves, there’s also Tonino’s brother, Paolo, and Angelica’s sister or cousin (I forget which) Renata working to save them. There’s also our version of Romeo and Juliet, Marco and Rosa, who thankfully are much more sensible than R&J. Actually, they’re pretty clever in trying to get around that whole “our families want to annihilate each other” thing. This one was just a pure blast, and I wouldn’t have minded it being a bit longer. I’d love a sequel a few years down the road, with the families still stuck with each other.

WW is set in an unhappy boarding school in a world where magic is outlawed and the inquisition is still going on, but many people are still born with magic. Nan is the daughter of a witch and gets bullied for it, but doesn’t think she’s a witch herself, Charles doesn’t get along with anyone, Estelle is a secret witch sympathizer, Nirupam watched a family member be burned alive, and Billy is bullied for being a teacher’s son. The first half with everyone wondering who the witch was and the mysterious spells and such was good, but I wasn’t overly into it. But then halfway through, we had people showing their true colors and running away and Chrestomanci was showing up in a huff and talking about realities being wrong and there was all the fixing of realities, and suddenly, I was having fun. Though, I probably shouldn’t have bulldozed through it right after bulldozing through TMoC.

Black Cat Vol 13

I apologize to any who saw the title and thought it was the Marvel character.

( at least she put up a good fight )
