MirrorMask

Two things:

MirrorMask. I think we should watch some of it tomorrow night (Yes. We will watch Blood: The Last Vampire on October 30) Here's the Mirror Mask blurb: "A girl from a family of circus performers finds herself in a strange new world populated by mysterious creatures--a dreamworld in which she is about to embark on a most amazing journey..."

There's also in a full-color graphic novella. Both are written by Neil Gaiman. So you know it's good.

Also, Jennifer (where are you?) - we need a few more photos from our cosplay party. Can you upload/bring a disk next time you come to the meeting?

And Happy Belated Birthday to Susan. Singing implied here. And hello to Yulan, who stopped by on Saturday. We miss y'all...

Okay, that was a few more than two things.

STUFFED STUFF

On Tuesday December 4th we're getting crafty -- local crafts impressario Amy Hess is going to be here with lots of materials to help in creating large stuffed objects (pillows, maybe?) & small stuffed objects (decorations? things to hang on your rear view mirror? earrings?). She is going to be making patterns in the meantime. I suggested patterns for, oh, I don't know, PIKACHU? A RICE BALL? THE ZODIAC ANIMALS from FRUITS BASKET?

You see where I'm going with this -- come next week prepared to brainstorm on what we want to make.

And btw, this isn't limited to Manga/Anime Club members, so if you know someone who might be interested, ask h/h to join us.

RECOMMENDATIONS, PLEASE

I just saw Ms. Andria, everybody's favorite school librarian, and she asked me to recommend some manga & graphic novels to her. So I suggested AMERICAN BORN CHINESE and the MEGATOKYO series (the latter because I am still trying to figure out L33T - did I spell that correctly?).

But what else would you recommend? It has to be something that readers of all ages could enjoy. I told Ms. Andria I was going to ask for recommendations here, so she's going to be checking the blog to see what we come up with.

Let us know.

Ghosts

I would like to report that there is a ghost in the YA section.

Also spiders, cobwebs and, uh, things appear to have taken over the library.

If anyone has any explanations, please let us know. Immediately.

Thank you.
