... wow.

I finished reading the Saint Tail manga! Hehe, it was so cute! It really did have CCSish vibes, although there were different characters and storylines. It had the feel of 'everything will definitely be all right', which was all it needed to make me nostalgic. And the romance was so cute and squishy! I especially loved the picture at the end of them in the wedding outfits. So sweet!

So yeah, that was very much worth searching for and buying. I'm glad I did, and I can't wait to watch the anime version (I have volumes 1, 2, and 5 so far and the rest are on the way)! But at the same time I want to finish watching Kaleido Star and find out what happens... that was a really good buy, too. I bought it on a whim, and it ended up being really engaging! I might have to go on ebay and hunt for the sequel series, because I'd definitely like to see it. But I will be good and wait until my next paycheck, at least. I still have ten episodes to go in the first series of it, and then I'll have Saint Tail to watch, too.

Speaking of things I need to buy... the official box set of Princess Tutu is being released in November. I'm totally going to have to get my hands on that. That series was really impressive, and had a great theme to it. I'd love to watch it all again, but I will wait until I have the DVD set in my hands and can watch it on our nice big 37" TV.

V is totally right when she tells me I'm a collector now. Haha!

Stuff I have bought recently (ie, after purchasing all of Saint Tail) includes: the official thinpak set of Orphen Revenge, the official thinpak set of D.N.Angel, volumes 12 and 13 and the movie for Fullmetal Alchemist, and a DVD set of the Card Captor Sakura official US subs. Hooray for having stuff with grammatically correct subtitles where everything is spelled right!

I already have wackysub versions of Orphen Revenge, D.N.Angel, and Card Captor Sakura. D.N.Angel has been spoken for, but I'm going to be trying to sell the other two off pretty cheap soon enough. I'll be offering them to people in town first to avoid shipping costs, but if anyone online is interested, leave a comment with your email address and I'll get back to you later on. I was thinking $10 per set ($20 for Card Captor Sakura since it's two sets altogether), but I'm totally negotiable and willing to go lower. I just need to make sure shipping is covered so I don't lose money.

No DVDs or manga have showed up in the mail yet... boo... V is still waiting for her laptop as well, so at least I don't feel alone in being impatient all weekend. We went and saw 'The Kingdom' tonight, which was a terrible movie. The company was good, though. All in all, a good evening.

I'm spending more money now, yet again. I bought a bunch of things for Cody, for his birthday and Christmas. Can't wait to see his face when he sees what they are. I would say what I got him, but he sometimes pops in and reads my entries, so I'll keep it to myself for now. It's cool stuff and he'll like it. I'm excited.

Another thing I ordered is the last two volumes of Fullmetal Alchemist, plus the movie - which completes that collection. I also want to start replacing my wackysub sets with sets that have better subtitles. I recently ordered the Orphen Revenge perfect collection. I'm planning to get Card Captor Sakura and D.N.Angel as well, but I'm waiting to hear back from people on ebay before ordering them.

Of course I'll have to rewatch all of these series once I receive them.

This also means that my wackysub versions will become available, since I won't have any more use for them. I'll probably make another post once I'm for sure ordering the new versions (still not 100% yet), but I intend to sell them pretty cheap - I just need something to cover shipping, so I'd probably estimate around $10 per set or so. Is anyone interested?

I have a request, if anyone is willing and able to help. I'm looking at a really cute looking (but old) magical girl series called Saint Tail. All that seems to be available for purchasing the series is separate DVDs, which I hate collecting (particularly since buying the whole series at once would put me over $200 - but I'd be way more willing to spend that amount on a nice box set than individual DVDs from individual sellers on ebay or something).

Does anyone know of any hard-to-find or out-of-print box sets? Or is there anyone selling the whole set of DVDs at once? Please tell me if you know anything!

I finally got my Anime Evolution pics up - take a look here!

Highlights including a Jack Sparrow, Jack Skeleton, a fabulous Tsubasa Sakura, and lots of Tales of the Abyss! Plus tons more - there were some awesome costumes. Go look!

( The other months )

No tags, 'cause I'm lazy. Pick it up if you want.

Well, tomorrow morning (very early), Cody and I are heading off to Anime Evolution. Or rather, to Vancouver, since AE doesn't start until Friday.

Nothing from the girl who was going to make my wig. I'll be claiming my money back after our trip (yay paypal!) but for now, I managed to find a cheap wig at Value Village with a somewhat similar style. It was blonde, but I've dyed it bright pink with hairspray. It's the wrong shade and not exactly the right style, but I will get by.

No custom wig maker is going to ruin my costume by not bothering to tell me I wouldn't have a wig on time! Take that!

In any case, we'll be back Sunday night (probably late Sunday night) and then I work at 2pm on Monday. Should be fun.

I'll probably have updates when I get back, but I doubt I'll be able to keep up with entries, so if something fun (or evil) happens while I'm gone and you want me to hear about it, toss me a comment. I might get a chance to check LJ at the hotel, though... depends on how the trip goes.

Wish my car luck on its first road trip with me! It's been awesome on the highway into town, so I'm pretty sure it'll be fine. I have to check the oil tomorrow morning to make sure it's got enough, though.

So, I have some journals in other places just in case LJ goes buh-bye. I don't know where everyone else is, so please add me if you have journals on the same sites (or comment with your username so I can add you):

The IJ journal is just a placeholder. The GJ journal is my writing journal (not that I update it much these days). But that might change. You never know. Just getting ready for the worst.

Noooo... How could you, Anika??? I thought you liked all my damn porn!!!
