The one who lets me out shall suffer. There!
I had to go to the hospital today to take some X-rays. I took a chance to take a walk around. Oh, and I bought CCS #2, so the collection is complete! Yay!
In a bookstore I was stopping by today, I glanced at this book ("Japanese graphics now!") and it blew me away. The Japanese publicity art and their product packages are so awesome. I have absolutely no idea how much that book costs there because it had no price tag, but I'm not sure I want to find out. But it's so creative!
In other news, I finished Castle in the Air last night. OMG I LOVED IT. That book made me squee so much it's not funny. I didn't expect it to like it so much, considering a lot of wankers complained because "it's not a Howl sequel and the story sucks". But honestly? Even if the plot looks cliche at the beginning, and Aladdin-like, it certainly has so many great twists it's lovely. And the HMC character cameos were good enough as they were for me. (Well, except I wanted to see some Michael/Martha, but they were nowhere to be seen. I guess they were in Market Chipping, and since the whole finale is around Kingsbury they didn't appear?)
But really, I love that book as much as HMC. And OMG so many OTPs! Of course, Howl/Sophie were so cool, as usual ♥. But also Abdullah/Flower-in-the-Night, and Beatrice/Soldier, and who can I forget Suliman/Lettie. Hell, even Dalzel/fat girls! XD So much fun, that book.
ETA: Also, I cannot believe they just pulled a CLAMPverse.
"Why not go to another world?" he [Howl] suggested. "There are many hundreds of other worlds, you know."
Now every CLAMPverse/Howl-verse crossover can be justified.

Of course they'd bond. And Kurogane would be frustrated at having two silly wizards around, and Sophie would be frustrated at everyone because she's the only sane person in the group.
