Tomorrow is Christmas-- and we are freezing again! The furnace BROKE AGIN, and the temps outside are 30 at nights. Back to the several blankets, and sleeping in a ski hat. I really should draw this, as it is twice now. The parrots are being boarded with the vet to stay warm. I baked biscotti to keep the house warm and keep moving. When my other half comes back from a business trip, we will be gonig to Death Valley , CA for a couple days to take photographs. We both enjoy photography, and neither one has been to the National park up there (the lowest point in the US-- hotter than blazes in the summer). So tonight, again up under the blankets, with lots of anime discs to watch. I apreciated that news article on anime- I agree that the hand drawn cels show a unique art form I will be glad to see to return, and agree that Cowboy Bebop showed some great art, began to explore character relationships, and to me has a timelessness of its own. I strongly suggest watching the Cowboy Bebop Mov and expecially watching the city scenes done in black and white. That takes about 2 min, but I love that section, and Yoko Kanno's music.

Wishing my friends, and everyone a kinder, gentler, and saner new year. This one ought to be illustrated and become a manga or anime, because it has been so odd.
