Wooooah that's so weird about the guy's question about Tuti! Court and I have spent some time in the past and every now and then bring up the question of Tuti's ancestory. Sometimes we're dead-positive that he can't be 100% Japanese, especially with how strongly defined his features are, and then other times we doubt ourselves and just conceed that he's got an unusual type of Japanese facial structure. But even with his height and bone structure it makes for a pretty compelling case that he isn't entirely Japanese, and in fact we know NOTHING about his father, whether he's alive or dead or what his nationality was. So there's always a possibility out there ^_^

And I'm glad it sounds like you had a fun birthday! What nice gifts you got, and I'm really amused that you managed to get so many people to sit still long enough to look at your pnish books :D And I'd love to go see The Nightmare Before Christmas on the IMAX, hell I'd love having an IMAX here at all, so make sure to enjoy the movie thoroughly for all us other people that can't do the same :(

And yay for NaNo! I still have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do, but I'm hoping that the pressure I feel as the date arrives with get the ideas going in my head XD;
