I’ve been rewatching Sailor Moon all week, and I’m a bit over halfway through season 2. (Sailor Moon R, for the uninitiated.)  I didn’t use to like R that much, but I’m finding myself developing a newfound appreciation for it.  The Four Phantom sisters are totally hysterically funny, and even on the non-special episodes, the animation is a big bump up from season 1.  A plot-relevant episode with a big fight scene?  Forget it, the animation is awesome.

I guess R and SuperS got a lot of rap way back when in the fandom (and probably still today to some extent) but I’m really enjoying it this time around. :D

It’s ocurred to me recently that my collection of past sketchbooks is starting to get pretty old.  I’ve used the same type of sketchbook for just over ten years now; about 8.5 x 11 inches, hardcover, perfect bound.  The first one I ever got was a Christmas present from my sister, and came from Barnes & Noble, no doubt.  I covered it in anime pictures I’d printed out from the internet, and named it Belldandy.

Anyways, I used it a little when I first got it, but I didn’t really start making a conscious effort to carry it around with me regularly until about halfway through my freshman year of high school, which would be late 2000/early 2001.

So the first quarter of the sketchbook now contains drawings that are ten or more years old.

Let’s do this.
