Well,that's it. That's the end of chapter three. YEAY! Notice that chapter three is a story about YASHA. I like that. Anyway, because I no longer have photoshop, I sent the second and third to last pages to Negshin from Redemption (http://www.mitra-media.com) and she did the backgrounds. Isn't she a sweetie??? I hope you enjoy the three new pages! Now we're only two weeks behind. -Eri

Eri-chan no RANT! Now you people get real rants!!! No more e-mails! Though I wrote several more of those before the trip was over. I *love* cheating on those rants! I already had to work like a fiend to catch up with the pages, so I didn’t feel like writing all new rants, too, but I wanted to have *something* in my column… you know? Well, lookie there… Chapter three is finished! Isn’t that lovely? Actually, this last set of three pages made me cry. Yes, I’m a sissy. And it was late and I was really, really tired. BUT now I can go on and draw a nice, light, comedic omake! I love omake. They make me happy. Which is something we’re all going to need after finishing chapter three! ^_^ Thanks for bearing with me! I’m finally catching up! Love and hugs- Eri

Rei no RANT! i ate chinese food for breakfast this morning. it was actually really delicious, and i wish i had another plate now because i would scarf it down. i haven't eaten dinner, just a carmel macchiato from starbucks, and that hasn't held up well. speaking of coffee, i never realized that you get what you pay for...usually. (there always seems to be exceptions to the rule.) there is a big difference between folgers and starbucks cafe verona, and i am SO thankful i currently have the cash to dish out for the starbucks. it just tastes so much yummier. and i have no qualms with supporting starbucks. actually, i'm not quite sure why anyone has qualms with supporting starbucks. any ideas? i walk into independent coffee houses and they always have this anti-starbucks mentality, complete with bumper stickers. is it because starbucks is making money, and they aren't? i have no idea. i know starbucks is expensive, and they should have student discounts for college kids like me, but life is life, and i will always drink my chai cream frappaccinos and cafe verona coffee in complete bliss. -Rei
