So I have the shiny newtype in my hands. It's like a new born baby, totally useless but utterly cute.

So what's inside ?
- The usual : Their iconic manga and their characters (Tokyo Babylon got more page than RG veda *weird*)

- The nice touch : a retrospective of many articles about clamp series (the lego feature didn't make the list T_T)

- The big surprise : Remember Yuukoi.e. clamp is a fan of Cat's eyes ? They did an illustration for a city hunter article... sweet !

- The practical : nice pictures without taglines because we are all layout whores.

- The next in line : ad for Clamp newtype PASTEL tagline : How to hit your fan in their weakpoint to make massive damage

- The you're going to cry because you are not in japan right now merchandise page : special mention for Emily avoid page 132 !

- The X fans are gonna love it while I will wait a translation to eventually find it funny page : A Comic in clamp no kiseki style where Kamui is under fuma's sword and suddenly disappear. He realize he's now inside Yuuko's shop. And as usually it ends up in mayhem and chaos with Watanuki being annoyed with the mess. By the way Kamui in that little comic had been kobato-ed. HA !

- The booklet : no color illustrations ! Well to be honest just like your average tank. The format is indeed really cool because Mokona's drawings are very detailed and you couldn't appreciate all of it with the quality of Asuka pages.
To be honest I felt a pinch in my heart when I open it because first think I saw was the double black pages. I don't even know why.

I'm usually between 10 and 15 hours in front of a computer screen (working time included), whereas on vacation, I don't spend much time on it, and not necessarily by choice.

The only wired computer at home is located in my mother's office. That room is so cold, I had to wear a coat! So the first day at my mother's place is like a being in drug rehab for me (how can I live without my emails and rss feeds ????).
I have a "strict survival policy" i.e. a reduced favorite link list. Everything else is rescheduled at next week, because there's one thing I hate more than being deprived of my beloved lan connection it's freezing to death. But today I made an exception because despite what I'm saying Clamp is and always will be my beloved favorite subject.

- Newtype platinium : oups I forgot about it. It's only those damned missing chapters isn't it ? Yes the cover is gorgeous and if there's still one left in the bookshop (which I'm not sure)I'm buying it, but really wake me up when X will be back somewhere in prep for real.
