NYE Japanese style

Have an awesome New Year's Eve, however you end up spending it. And if it's not awesome...well, it's just another day.

belly rub

I sometimes get carried away with the belly rub.

low-cut

Nonsense dream

I have a habit of telling G all the uninteresting details of my nonsensical-but-not-necessarily-exciting dreams. G is very patient about it, but maybe it's about time he made me follow Stephanie's rule for talking about dreams.

Tell-tale signs

Of Santa and Bunnies

Sorry for the lack of panels; hope it's still readable!

Merry Christmas!

A very merry Christmas from Bremen! Instead of a comic, here's the image from the Christmas card I made for G's dad.

inspiration

Hey, you need to look at good stuff to make good stuff, and I find it hugely useful to see what other students and artists are doing. One awesome site that I love looking through when I'm completely stuck is Junk Culture...check it out!

Package

In Bremen to spend Christmas with G's awesome family.

candy canes

I went to the imported foods section of KaDeWe (big department store) and bought some...because I'm a sucker.

Postcards

lots of love!

make-up

The only days I have time for make-up are days when I don't leave the house.

Not Papa

I just watched and laughed.

the day the bunny came home

You can see the bunny teapot and other awesomely squee designs at their website, Handle with Care.

Objection

A propos last night's comic...and how G's objections are generally ignored for the sake of public entertainment.

Holding it in

We are so classy.

The Ultimate Distraction

...and for a split second, all is all right in the world.

Reference my ass

I'll never get to bed tonight.

Spycams

No d'uh.

Eyeballs

And this is why you take good care of your eyes!

G-speak

I'm a responsible drinker

... in the sense that I only drink irresponsibly at home. And poor G always has to coax drunken Nozomi to bed.

Flip

When in doubt, flip it.

8:30am

A little doodle from my 8:30 lecture. (yawn)

Silly

Silly cat video night is a good night.

Creeper

You know you do it too!

future room, future roomies

Moving in soon. So exciting!

unpredictable

I'm still relatively new to Berlin (just hit the 2.5 year mark), but upon moving here, I unexpectedly reconnected with ex-classmates from my year on exchange in France, one of whom is L. We were both non-German art history majors with no prior ties to Berlin, and yet we both somehow ended up here around the same time to pursue different paths.

Conclusion: Life is unpredictable. and awesome!

tell me more

It's true, icanhascheezburger can be really unhealthy for my kitteh fantasy.

Poor G

What poor G puts up with behind the scenes.

Apfelwein start to the weekend

Santa?

Just absolutely beyond my comprehension.

rights are rights

You may remember this flight delay from Stuck at JFK. Okay, so the wait was not all that unpleasant, but major props to G! I didn't even know you could get compensation for that...

ps. that second panel is a nod at you, Iris.

the idiot

...is me.

Fantasy

Having a giant cat named Kerfluffle as a pet.

Meh Blog meets Bring Me Bonsai

I just hung out with Tze of Meh Blog in Frankfurt! An awesome little afternoon of gabbing over bubble tea and mint tea and a quick joint-drawing session.

Monkey what?

Pfft, what do you mean you've never heard of them?

*Sorry for the belated update---I had no Internet connection at the hotel last night! One more update later tonight.

Proper Pronunciation

I think Tze was the first web-cartoonist/comic diary blogger I ever interacted with (Asian girl living in Germany who also does diary comics!), and I'm really looking forward to meeting her in person this weekend. But the downside of a web-only relationship is that...you don't really figure out how to pronounce their names properly. Sorry Tze! I guess I'l find out soon enough.

Anyway, go check out Tze's Meh Blog if you haven't already! She has lots of great illustrated recipes too.

Head-in-Blender

It's just one of those weeks, I suppose.

Handsome Boy

Mama gave G a haircut on Monday. It was fun.

Horrible

Yeah, yeah, very funny. (So many encounters with post people this week!)

Mr. Postman

...you is awesome.

Hat Hair

'Tis hat hair season.

Hangry Hippo

Hangry Nozomi strikes again.

Aches and Pains

Chairs

Chairs. That is all.

Chin hair

Speaking of unwanted facial hair, G gets them too...!

the world is my oyster

It happens every single time! blurk.
