Well, I quit collecting... and I abstained from
buying a cel for a long time... and I tried and
tried to find another hobby... and found:

NO other hobby has quite the excitement, 
connection with other collectors, sentimental
visual value, and, well... ENJOYMENT as this
hobby.  Yeah, I'm broke most of the time (my
family is still recovering from the situation
that caused me to sell my entire collection for
them before anyway) and there is the depression
over missing the beautiful pieces you can't 
afford or don't get to first... but thumbing
through the celbook and looking at the things 
you WERE lucky enough to find, just to own a 
piece of your favorite animations, is something
that the (MANY) other hobbies I tried couldn't
compare to...

SO... although I will have a teeny tiny gallery
for a long time as I very slowly build a 
collection, I will definitely enjoy every piece
(as I mournfully miss those which I was forced to
sell and couldn't afford now anyway) and hopefully
have a gallery worth visiting.  =)

Enough mushiness!  :P  

I uploaded a few cels from Pon Poko (that adorable
Studio Ghibli tanuki-madness movie).  =)

I hope you enjoy them as I do... thanks!
