Love Hina

lythandra and I finished the actual "series" part of Love Hina last night, including "Bonus Episode #25," which I gather was left out of the original run because it was anticlimactic ... or perhaps was intended to spearhead another season that didn't happen, or something. After the heavy melodrama of episodes 21 - 24, episode 25 certainly seemed like an awkward little tack-on, that should have happened somewhere around episode 15, if it was going to happen at all. (Not that it was a bad episode ... as backstory for Motoko, it was pretty cool. But it was superfluous to the overall story arc.)

I enjoyed it quite a bit. :) In a lot of ways, Love Hina really nails that "Romantic comedy with a touch of WTF?" feel that I want for Suburban Jungle, so I've been drawing a lot of inspiration from it. Naru and Tiffany would certainly get along well, that's for sure! The main difference is that, unlike Kietaro, Leonard can give it back to Tiff just as good as she can dish out to him.

We've still got the movies to get through ("Christmas Movie," "Spring Movie," and "Love Hina Again") ... it'll be interesting to see where things go. Amazon has mixed reviews, but the plot summaries suggest that the story is not quite over yet.

PS: Should it bother me that I know who Krypto, Ace, and Streaky are?

Pardon Me, Reader, Is That Your Watch Ticking?

This is totally fake.

But wouldn't it be COOL if it was real?

-The Gneech *POP!*

This Drawin' Stuff Is Hard Work -.-

I ... wanna goof off.

What I Did Tonight

1. Looked around Barnes & Noble and Waldenbooks w/ lythandra for Love Hina (Manga) #5.
   
   
2. Had dinner at jamesbarrett's Olive Garden
   
   
3. Did a miniscule amount of work on Teenagers From Outer Space
   
   
4. Penciled strips for next Friday and Monday
   
   
5. Paid the bills
   
   
6. Worked from home via Remote Desktop Connection, getting a major chunk of a project that's been looming over me done
   
   
7. Inked said strips for next Friday and Monday, so that I won't have to do any drawing tomorrow when I'll be pooped from Kung Fu (alas, katayamma, I wasn't able to scan 'em yet)
   
   
8. Kept tabs on e-mails that were flying fast and furious among a few friends

Crikey, no wonder I'm worn out! I'm going to bed, before anything else happens!

-The Gneech, worried that somebody will set him up the bomb

PS: Notice that Tough Breaks isn't on this list. Le sigh! Maybe tomorrow after strips are scanned.

Edit: Added "paid the bills," which I'd forgotten. -.-
