We are finally winding down to the very last of our Teen Summer Reading Talk Tour. We have 5 more stops (out of 20!!!) and we're positively looking forward to them. Tonight's stop is Kapolei - one of the state's newest libraries on the West-side. Thankfully we have a break this weekend (due to the 4th of July weekend), but things start up next Tuesday with Salt Lake-Moanalua, then the Hawaii State Library in Downtown on Saturday the 12th, Kaimuki on Sunday the 13th, and our final stop at Kaneohe Library on Sunday, the 20th. :D

Something we've noticed is that we can tell right off the bat which librarians really understand what we are doing and if they sincerely support their programs - the turnout numbers really show. Any effort they put forth to publicize their own programs really are returned ten-fold. 

This goes to prove that you shouldn't be expecting miracles to fall in your lap if you don't work towards anything - be it a goal, strengthening a belief, striving for greatness, learning something new, etc. 

We sometimes forget that we have to put in our due efforts to reap some rewards. I know I do sometimes~

Anyway - the countdown finally begins for Anime Expo 2008. We're not going this year - it's a little out of our league at the moment, but Pat ofVUDUBERI will be hosting some of our select goods from Fanime at her booth in the dealer's room! So, if you're looking for shirts, books, or even pups, they'll have a few on hand. Regardless, folks should REALLY check out their stuff. Pat, CP, FSc, and Saka are all superb artists in their own right and will likely have stuff you'd be interested in. (I'm a fan of their shirts - super stylish and comfortable. I wear mine all the time... *__*)

For everyone going, HAVE A GREAT TIME! :D POST PHOTOS!!!

And lastly, I'm continuing with Kana and Nemu's adventures in Hawaii~ I think I missed posting the shave ice strip from Monday here, but we're moving head to the aftermath with a couple special cameos from some of my old CultureSHOCK! strips from college. 

Talk about a blast to the past - I hope that I've grown as an artist since 1998...

I have about 20 of the original strips re-scanned and cleaned up for viewing - I intended to have all of them ready by the time I posted today's strip, but I ran out of time. I'll be slowly adding more and more strips to our make-shift gallery.

Enjoy!

1 more week until we're in California for Fanime!

I've been working hard to get as many strips done as humanly possible as this is going to be a super busy summer... and I mean SUPER busy. ._.;

Roaches roaches and more roaches... WTH is going on? I've killed 3 in the past 2 days. KS found another one and is putting roach traps all over the house. X_X;

I'm relatively okay with tiny roaches, but these are like... 1-2 inches in size and just plain nasty looking.

GROSS.

Anyhoo - we've just packed up all our merchandise for shipping to California. I can only hope we sell most of this stuff so we don't have to bring it all back. My biggest fear is that no one will like/buy our stuff and we have to ship everything back. T___T;

Just think positive.

*sigh*

Hrm... just found our calculator... forgot to pack into our shipping boxes.. >_>;; I guess I'll have to pack this into my suitcase. ^^;

Oops - a little behind this week, although our strips published as scheduled.

I had a day-long talk at Le Jardin Academy in Kailua, which is the first of many talks I will be doing this summer with KS. Although, this talk was solo - including my drive there, in which I had to battle morning traffic and the long, slippery ride on the Pali Highway.

I feel a little more confident with my driving skills, although changing lanes still gives me incredible amounts of unspeakable stress. >_>;

Icons will be coming a little later on Friday as I'm trying to get as many strips done as I humanly can before Fanime. Once we return, things are going to get SUPER busy for us, so it's in my best interest to get as far ahead as I can. ^_^;

Wednesday's Comic: A Different Point of View

Today's Comic: No Pain...NO PAIN

Sorry for the late post - for those who keep up with nemu*nemu via my LJ... I had a dentist appointment for my crown this morning and had some tasks to do before leaving.

Long story short: Kids, no pain is no pain. If you feel the pain at the dentist, say so.. because what felt to me like cleaning around the gumline - painful to a certain degree, but not excruciating... became a throbbing, painful, burning raw mess by the time I got home. That much pain does not equal normal by any standards... and it did *not* go away as I had hoped.

It was so horrible, KS had to call the dentist who immediately told me to return for shots. It was enough for me to go home, eat lunch of sushi, drink some liquids and sleep until 5pm.

The raw burning is slowly creeping back, but I have my pain-killers on hand to help me get to sleep for the next few nights.

*cry*

I don't know why the shots don't work for me as well as they used to... in fact, I find I need double/triple the usual amount to get through my dental procedures. Doesn't help that I've had so many procedures done in the past year, I've run out of insurance.

*sigh*

So, sorry for the delay in strip posting - I hope this encourages you to check nemu*nemu if you don't see an update here!

Can't believe Kawaii Kon is in a couple weeks. Things are coming together nicely, but there is still a lot of stuff to do. :\

Can you (local folks) believe that Kawaii Kon is in less than 20 days?? I feel "ready", but I still fell hella stressed out. @_@;
