• We've been reviewing up a storm at Good Comics for Kids, with Brigid Alverson critiquing The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary, Esther Keller reading Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451: The Authorized Adaptation, and me evaluating Self-Made Hero's latest Sherlock Holmes Graphic Novel, A Study in Scarlet. Go, read!

  Thanks to Deb Aoki's Twitter feed (@debaoki), I've been introduced to Asian Food Grocer (@AsianFoodGrocer), an indispensable resource for folks with an interest in Japanese cuisine. This online retailer carries a decent selection of seasonings, noodles, and sushi ingredients, as well as sundries, e.g. frog-shaped chopstick rests, individual packets of soy sauce, plushie cell phone charms. The star attraction, however, is their selection of Kit Kats in hard-to-come-by flavors such as Sparkling Strawberry and Chocolate & Sweet Potato. So much for my New Year's resolution to dial down the carbs!

  Last but not least, thanks to lumi for schooling me on how to pronounce Code Geass and .hack//. I confess that the .hack// titles look more like Morse code than English to me, so it's a relief to know those slashes are silent slashes.
