    The MangaBlogCast was a lot of fun! This is the first time I’m hearing it, so I’ll definitely be looking back to the previous casts and looking forward to the next one in two weeks.

    The Canada/Yaoi thing made me laugh my head off, Jack is a really fun commentator.

    My Yaoi = Lobster metaphor was meant to be subtle humor but was afraid it was too far out, you made it worth my distress — thx!

    Thanks to you both for the nice comments.

    It was really weird to hear Love Manga being talked about like that but also incredibly good for my ego. ^.^
