Individual Eleven – The World's Cyberbrain

While I was at work one day, I peered over at Tweetdeck and saw a tweet from @mseckington about a Secret Santa for bloggers. I immediately thought it would be interesting for me, as I struggle to find presents for people I know let alone strangers! But the concept seemed fun; initially it was open to London bloggers only but was later opened to a wider audience across the UK.

Lo and behold, Royal Mail came through and delivered my present on Christmas Eve, I was quite amazed it arrived so promptly. And even more amazed when I opened it… as it was a Manga DVD of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Those of you who are aquainted with me personally will know that I have a bucketload of anime DVDs. But do I have this one? The answer is a resounding no, I triple checked my collection just in case but nope I definitely don’t have it. I can tell you now, people have tried to buy me anime in the past and failed. Because it’s sitting in my cupboard already.

To top it off, the anime itself is delightful. A collaboration between the EVA designer in Neon Genesis Evangelion and the immediately recognisable artwork by Studio Ghibli, creates this lovely story. My hat goes off to my secret blogger, a very good choice indeed! You have just made my Christmas, thank you!

HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR!
