Official Katsuragi Misato pendant from "Neon Genesis Evangelion." It is large, but apparently just hollow aluminum (or so the helpful young man at Kotobukiya in Akihabara told me). Price? A bargain at 21,000 yen. Just in time for the holidays! Is it wrong to still want this, knowing how overpriced it is? But, heaven help me, I do want it! Back in 2004 I actually made my own Misato pendant out of a wooden cross, which I refashioned into the proper shape and painted white with liquid paper. It was every bit as beautiful as it sounds. Nonetheless, I have been wearing it ever since. I thought this year was my chance to trade up, but maybe I should wait for the discount version.

$15?! Yet more evidence that I should not buy this official one. I was almost seduced into an impulse buy. It was just so shiny and new... Thanks, Nikko!
