Nyaho!
Hello dear watchers and people who stop by! How are you today?
This is a brand new journal for a brand new season! Finally winter is coming and I'm becoming more and more happy! Weather outside is grey and rainy, no wind and it's fantastic! Unfortunately I won't enjoy it, 'cause I have some cleaning to do...

Yesterday I knew exactly the way

feels when he look at his reading pile. Man, I have so much to read! It came all at once! How could that happen????
I was reading "Tristan et Iseut", in a french version (and that's why it's taking so long!) and then I started "Manga - Masters of the Art", which is a bunch of interviews with some fantastic mangaka (CLAMP and Inoue Takehiko included!)... Then I bought Nausicaa of the Valley, vol. 5 - but I havent' read it yet!
Then :iconCahAnrett: showed me a book she bought by internet called Style School. It's so great I bought #1 and #3! And they have arrived this week. It's about manga, illustration and instructions ("how to" stuff), and I'm interested in the colouring part for lessons I'm teaching at Anima. So, there's two more on my pile.
One of my students (actually former student. Now he's in painting classes...) gave me "Briefe an einen jungen Dichter" (something like "letters to a young poet") by Rainer Maria Rilke (the book is in portuguese, of course! I can't read a word of German) and I started to read it right away. It's very nice and seems to be famous, but I had never heard of it before!!! There's a lot of thinking about Art
and how it affects us, artists... very nice indeed!

have also lent me MUTTS, by Patrick McDonnell, a collection of strips of a dog called Duke and his cat friend, which I'm also reading. So cute! They're naive and simple, just the way I like to do my strips, so it's gonna help me for Kelly strips. I guess. I hope!
And there's also my regular manga reading!!! This week I got Nana #8, Tsubasa, Full Metal Alchemist, Hunter X Hunter #14, Helsing, an I even can't remember what else. I borrowed Bleach #21 and #22 from

!!! Oh, my God, it's soooooooooo cool!!!
Well... guess that's it I have to read... I know

has much more (he's yet reading some comics from LAST YEAR!)to read, but this is too much for me! Hope I can get rid of all of these very soon!
About the journal title... hum, gotta tell you, I'm into punk these days and "Blood or Whiskey" is the name of a very nice irish punk band... If you like it, listen to it! It worth it!
