It's spring, so how about one last snow?? Also Bleach and some health stuff.
Wednesday night, winter said goodbye with a beautiful snowfall. My area had about an inch of snow, I think. I walked in it twice, once Wednesday evening when it had been falling for about half an hour, and then the next day when it was already melting. It lasted until 3 PM, I was impressed. Today on my walk, I saw the sad remains of a couple of snowmen, fighting to live on lawns in my neighborhood.
Good-bye, snow! See you again in 9 months or so. *wistful sigh*
For the record, having grown up in north-central Texas, where snow falls maybe 3 times a year and actually sticks once every other year, it will always hold a magical place in my heart. I'm sure I'd have already changed my mind if I'd moved to, say, Minnesota...but here in my part of Oregon, it snows maybe 7 times a year and sticks for 2, so it's still magical to me. :3
I am also happy to say that I am as caught up with Bleach manga as it is possible to (legally) be in North America! Thanks to my subscription to SJ Alpha, I can read the new chapter only 2 weeks after it appears in Japan. The chances of me happening across spoilers in fic or art are negligible!!! I can now read almost any fic without fear!!! Yes, this pleases me greatly. ^^
Next on my manga catch-up list...Bakuman. XD I have...*checks* 100 chapters to read. Not as bad as Bleach, for which I had about 170! ^^V
I'm hard at work on Clay 21 and Naruto 59. Trying to finish as many difficult pages as I can before Skip 29 and Natsume 13 hit. I have scripts for both, but no raw pages from Japan. Oh yes, and I finished the 2nd one-shot book I did for the new genre sort-of being released by Viz.
I'm also half-way through getting rid of as much yeast in my body as I can, by poisoning it with herbs it doesn't like, and not feeding it. Meaning I'm eating nothing but meat, leafy green vegetables, and some nuts. Oh, and a couple spoonfuls of plain Greek yogurt a day. FUN TIEMS. As a side benefit, I've lost almost 10 pounds in a week. The trick will be keeping it off when I can eat grain, sugar, and diary again. Yep. Gonna have to amp up the exercising...
Last night I alllmost caved and ate something forbidden, like rice or chocolate, but I persevered! Willpower, GRAR! Tonight I'll cook up the Mahi-mahi fillet I bought a couple days ago. We'll see how it turns out. I had to Google to find out how to remove the skin. :B
Once I cut through all this damn yeast, I suspect a lot of my eating troubles will go away. Like being able to have wheat again, less cravings for sugar, and reduced bloating. Hell, that last one alone is worth it.
Back to work for me! I have no idea what is going on in Clay 21, bouncing around from difficult page to difficult page as I am. Everyone is fighting everyone else, I swear. :P
ETA: Fish skin is sticky!! (Apologies to any vegetarians or vegans or see this.)
