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.

I think so many people get disappointed is because they expect it to be eeeeverything about Howl. And it's not.
