om nom nom Let me tell you guys about my book-haul on the way home last night. Not only did I find all of these books at Half-Price Books, but many of them were on clearance, being marked down EVEN FURTHER. --Claymore, vol. 1 - Norihiro Yagi [Knight-clad girls kick ass and take names!] --Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, vol. 10 - CLAMP --The Queen's Knight, vol. 6 - Kim Kang Won --Vampire Knight, vol. 3 - Matsuri Hino [Manga's answer to Twilight] --Vampire Knight, vol. 4 - Matsuri Hino --Pluto, vol. 3 - Naoki Urasawa x Osamu Tezuka --Buffy: Tales of the Slayer ["Righteous" is my favorite. Joss/Iambic Meter FTW!] --Redwall: The Graphic Novel [I didn't know a graphic novel existed! It's pretty well done. Have you guys read Brian Jacques Redwall? It and its first batch of sequels were some of my favorite books EVAR in middle school. Unfortunately, the dude (or, as I suspect, his ghost writers) keep churning out unfortunate derivations that NEVER END. Still, Redwall and Mossflower were gems, and I like this graphic novel adaptation.] --Angel: After the Fall, issues 5 and 6 --Buffy, Season 8, issues 6, 7, 9-13 --The Dispossessed - Ursula K. LeGuin [Currently reading this for Labels: comics, greed, ks, manga scribbled mystickeeper at 7:53 AM

Technology! Yesterday, I was a consumer-whore, and I'm okay with it. Firstly, in the realm of cheap things, I purchased a flower vase, cheese grater, and plant shelf at St. Vincent DePaul, which were obviously cheap. I also used a Barnes & Noble gift card that I had received for my birthday to get two xxxHolic manga. The largest purchase, of course, was my iPod. I ended up getting an iPod Classic. I figured that if I was going to spend $200 on a 16 GB iPod Nano, I might as well spend $50 more, and get a bigger screen and 120 GB. By the way, my laptop has about 38 GB (I am still using the same laptop I purchased the summer before going to college), so my iPod has 3 times the amount of space as my laptop! I think that this is the most amount of money I've spent in a store at once (obviously, I spend more on rent, car insurance, etc.). I struggled a bit with what to name the iPod. My laptop is Watanuki, being basically a house servant. My Internet connection is Himawari, so that every time my laptop (Watanuki) connects to the Internet, it says, "You are connected to Himawari." BECAUSE I AM A SAP. So at first, I was going to name the iPod Doumeki. But then Antoine pointed out that my iPod is small and black, so I named it Black Mokona instead. So far, for free, I have downloaded: Episode 1 of Honey & Clover A preview special for Star Wars: The Clone Wars Episode 1 of Naruto: Shippuden I am a fan of free stuff! Unfortunately, anime seems to be only available via iTunes in English dub, so that is pretty annoying. In the Honey & Clover English dub, all of the voice actors refer to each other by their first name, and it is skeeving me out. Like, "Shinobo." I am working on investigating podcasts next, in addition to putting my own music on it. I don't think I've ever listened to podcasts before, aside from Ron Moore's pretentious Battlestar Galactica ones.

I just spent the week reading RaceFail posts / I just got a new job Haul Everything was half-off or less, please don't judge me! Sunshine by Robin McKinley High School Debut, vol. 8 by Kazune Kawahara Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale (in hardcover for $5!!) Final Fantasy X Angel: After the Fall, issues 5, 6, and 10 Buffy, Season 8, issues 16 and 21 Blankets by Craig Thompson Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris An amazing Lion King artbook! It's small but has great images - not just from the movie, but all kinds of sketches, and has pretty poetic prose to describe the goings-on. The Lion King is my favorite Disney movie, so I'm pretty excited.scribbled mystickeeper at 2:00 PM
