Somewhere in the world, it is cool and breezy...
The heat has sucked me dry of energy. I wish my apartment had central air conditioning. Hoth does what he can, but he really isn't powerful enough to battle the direct sunlight on my western window from 6PM to sunset at around 9.
I went swimming yesterday morning for half a glorious hour. I love swimming! It wasn't that hot yet, so it didn't do much to cool me down, but the joy of swimming certainly helped defeat my funk! Even if only for a little while. My fave thing is diving to retrieve stuff from the bottom of hte pool. I have a handy black, flat rock for that purpose. I also found 13 cents tossed in by other people. *laughs* This pool isn't much of a challenge since the deep end is only 6 feet. I spent many years diving for stuff at the bottom of my friend L-chan's pool, which went to a full 8. Ah, memories! I'd love to swim when it's truly hot during the afternoon, but that's when the pool is filled with kids, and I'd much rather swim alone or with adult friends. Besides, all those parents sitting around the pool watching their offspring give me the creeps. You know they'd keep an eye on any adults in the water with their sprogs, and I'd rather NOT be suspected of criminal activity, thank you very much. *shudders*
In work news, Saiunkoku v1, Skip 22, and Naruto 50 are all completely finished. At the moment, I "only" have Clay 17 and Natsume 5. I have 7 pink Clay pages left in this vol, and I'm trying to finish them before I have script for New Title 5. Speaking of which, at Expo, Viz announced their new licenses, which includes the true identities of New Titles 5 and 6. *drumroll*
New Title 5 is Mistress Fortune, by Tanemura Arina-sensei.
New Title 6 is Sakura Hime Kaden, also by Tanemura Arina-sensei.
And now those of you who are familiar with Tanemura-sensei's work will understand why I've been collecting screen tones and trying to clear my other titles like mad. Heh heh heh. ^^;;; If you don't know her stuff, next time you're in the bookstore check out Gentlemen's Alliance + or Fullmoon o Sagashite and you'll understand. This mangaka appears to believe white space is wasted potential. It will be interesting to see how lettering these two Tanemura titles compares with lettering Hino-sensei's Captive Hearts, which was also a lesson in cramming as much as possible onto every bit of page.
I have yet another pink Clay page mocking me from Tsukushi's monitor, so I'd best get to work. It's going to be difficult going today, but I must persevere!
