Update
Let’s see… Other than that unexpected tornado, the past week hasn’t been terribly exciting but it has been productive. Much of my paperwork backlog has been taken care of but there are still some things to reorganize. I’ve got another little needlework project in progress now and I’ve been spending the last few days helping my mother paint the basement, including the room my parents are letting me have for a sewing room. ^_^
The main part of the painting in there is done already; only the door and some touchups are left. The wall color is a medium purple and the ceiling, window, door, and trim are white. Mostly, I’ve been painting things like windows and edges with a little handheld brush because I’ve discovered I’m not very good at getting paint even with those large rollers. ^_^;
I’ve also finally managed to get around to watching a couple of the DVDs I bought at AnimeNext. First was volume 3 of Le Chevalier D’Eon. It’s kind of weird and more gory than I’d normally like but the artwork is gorgeous *_* and it has the type of mysterious puzzle-like plot that I love. But considering that I don’t care for politics at all, it’s kind of funny how I end up liking series like this and The Twelve Kingdoms which have lots of political intrigue. o_o;
I’m getting interested in possibly doing a cosplay from it (always wanted to do a period gown type costume) but want to see the rest of the series first. Unless it’s something super long, I like to watch/read an entire series before deciding if I’ll cosplay from it. I sew slowly and only manage about 4 costumes a year so I’d rather see all the outfits before deciding what to make! ^_^; So, I won’t come to a more definite conclusion until around the end of the year.
Also watched the first volume of Tsubasa. I’ve read the first 5 volumes of the manga, too, and I don’t think there have been any big differences between the two so far. (It's been a while since I read the first volume.) It’s interesting enough that I’ll keep watching/reading but for now, I’m not into it enough that I’d consider cosplaying from it.
I suppose it would be more fun to watch if I knew more about Clamp stuff since there are lots of cameos from their other works. I have to admit I don’t even know much about CCS. I just vaguely remember seeing a few episodes of the dub when it was on TV, before I was particularly interested in anime. ^_^;;
Still have volume 3 of Paradise Kiss to watch. Maybe, sometime this week...

And well, reading about CLAMP's other mangas would be advisable, too. Not that it would be *vital* for you to understand Tsubasa, but sometimes there are funny situations or little details that you just let go because you don't know their other stuff... I don't know all of their mangas, but luckily I do know a bit about their major ones [and A LOT about CCS and something about X xD] and that helps understanding some situations...
Again, I'm sorry, I am a bit of an intruder xD

I heard they stopped it because they got problems with the magazine in which X was being published. I don't know if I believe it, because they could easily find another one that could publish it without demanding absurdities. Anyway, yeah, it's going to be a long wait for us to know the end of this manga.
And the movie REALLY sucks. u.u A friend of mine watched it before reading the manga or watching the tv series and he hated it xD No one can change his mind now, he hates X forever. T_T
