Eri-chan no RANT! OMAKE! OMAKE!!! This took me about half an hour total. I think all pages should be like that. Of course, it's only one pannel with two relatively simple chibis.... so I couldn't possibly do this every day. But for today, it's nice! And Rei is a saint. Just so you know. Rei the saint. She wrote me enough rants to catch up with all those months we were behind. I LOVE YOU REI!- Eri

Rei no RANT! if you haven't heard it, you should listen to the song "mood rings" by relient k. they have several humorous songs (sadie hawkins dance, college kids, etc.) but "mood rings" is a commentary on men's troubles with females and the ultimate solution to that problem. it's so awesome. and it's really catchy and easy to remember, so it lends itself to be sung really loudly in japanese restaurant parking lots, which sonia and i had the joy of experiencing. another song that's really been on my mind lately is a song by the killers. i don't know what i'ts called, but the chorus goes: "somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend that i had in february of last year." i was really confused as to what THE HECK that song was talking about, but it has a really nice beat, so i listened to it. apparently, that's what the lead singer uses as a pickup line. while some pickup lines are getting driven into the ground by overuse, some people are taking it to the next level and using their creative juices to produce new ones. i don't know that i would be taken in by a guy who used that on me, but i DO know that i would find it pretty humorous. -Rei
