a friend told me about this amazing initiative- operation christmas child. you only have one more day to get your parcels out to the drop off points all over the country but i still wanted to write about it (just in case 1 more person sees it). i think it’s a great idea. you fill a shoebox with little gifts for either a boy or girl and the shoebox is then delivered somewhere in the world through the samaritan’s purse to a child who could do with a little joy in life. it’s just a very small gesture but hopefully it will make someone smile whether or not they believe in christmas….

i am looking forward to the january release of the new astro boy film! tezuka rocks! and astro boy is by far one of my fave japanese cartoon heroes of all time! i am slightly baffled as to the new aesthetic created in hollywood for him (i’m not convinced it’s the best look. in fact i wish they’d left him alone. he looks over produced but not in a way slick enough to blow me away but it will not stop from watching my fave boy robot in action this spring on our screens). go astro boy!!!!!!
