So I spent most of the weekend resting and getting some needlework done. My head is still having its days, but at least it's nowhere near as bad as it was last weekend, right? While I'm not wild about DMC's mini needlework carrier, I do like the Stitchbow Roll. It holds twenty threads in a roll so I can carry around a fairly decent size project. The only real annoyance is the the little tags with the floss numbers slip off so easily when you're taking the Stitchbow out.

In manga news, Shoujo Beat has revamped their interiors, switching to the brightly tinted pages in the tradition of Japanese shoujo anthologies. What was wrong with basic black and white? I personally found it easier to read that way. They've also swapped out "Godchild" for "Vampire Knight", which sadly is not a FK manga.

Two blogs I'm reading: Deep Genre: Fascinating reading on genre fiction, mostly sf/fantasy and the writing/publishing thereof. And a LJ feed
