Well I'm back! It was a wonderful trip! We stayed at a house that we own up in New Mexico and. My mom, cousins, and a friend all went as well as I. We did lots of shopping and brought back plenty of things. I got a few tiger related items, a plush and a few stones that were carved like tigers. Also a couple little dragons, a cyote pendant, and a few other neat things! I also got Japanese Comicers 2 which is awesome. I encourage the purchase of Japanese comicers 1, 2 and Comic Artists Asia, very good books, great artists and inspiration!

The area around is mountains so we did a lot of hiking as well! Tons of pictures and one I know Lumi-san would be very proud of! I saw Xmen 3 while down there and all I can say is XTREME! Very dark, emotional and awesome! Bryan Singer is a doing a wonderful job at these Xmen movies! At least from my perspective, having not been much into the comics. I also saw Over the Hedge a while back which was Awesome! GO SEE IT NOW! Very funny, cute and a great family film! Gotta love RJ and Hammy! So yes, I'm back for a few days and then I'm off again to camp. After that I'll be back for a good long time!

I'm so happy to be back!
