She's back!
So Japan? Was awesome. Fantastic, fabulous, only reason I could force myself to get on the plane was the assurance that I will be going back.
The mild case of pneumonia I returned with? Not so much fun. On the mend now, but manga delayed 'til next week. Hopefully will be feeling up for writing soon - been too long since I have, am missing it. More about my Japan adventures later - in a nutshell, Kyoto's as beautiful as they say; Tokyo is way too freakin' big; I want my local combini to carry curry bread, dammit; the best part of the (many) bishounen on the trains is that they can't understand you when you're plotting their abductions; and I did not get a definitive answer to the eternal question "how much manga can fit in two suitcases?", but I can say with certainty that it's more than 50 + 40 volumes of anthology doujinshi (Mmmmmm. Used bookstores in Japan are even more dangerous than the American variety.)
