After 3 weeks and no new post, by which time you probably assumed I was dead, I have made a triumphant return. To point out some figures, I've got an arsenal of 254 manga now [2 more than when I last posted], 3 anime series, and 30 bucks worth of gift cards in a pear tree. Just kidding about the last one.
Here we are at last in the final run for your money. The last chance to grab those gifts. The last days in which we run around malls for hours on end only to buy like $20 worth of stuff. Right at this moment, I LOVE YOU BABY blasting and all, I realise that it's all worth it. This one day that no one really appreciates. When the procrastinators come out and prowl. December 23rd. A day everybody just forgets. Stuck between the beginning of the end of the holiday shopping season, December 20th [when all the schools let out, too] and the biggest shopping day of the year [face it even the folks who started in October go out this day], December 24th. I personally believe even the procrastinators cover their bases and go out on the 23rd. Well, let's pray that they do. The congestion's killing me.
Well.... yeah, that's what's going on with me. On December 14th [it was a Friday, I believe] I recieved a Christmas present for myself. At $1.99 a pop [plus 3.99 shipping *grumble*] in other words, 5.88 a pop, I recieved vols. 1 and 2 of Suki by CLAMP. Sounds familiar? Probably not this book went out of print back in 2005 I think. Great story, but unfortunately vol. 3 [the last volume] is $6.XX in other words, I'll be spending like $11 on that, which I really don't want to. Even though it's probably totally worth it. I also bought the Deluxe Edition of the Harry Potter 5 movie. Let's see if I can get any manga or anime for Christmas, today or tomorrow.
It's Sunday morning, and I don't think I could be at more peace. But unfortunately, my morning's coming to an end, it's almost noon. And so my day of disaster, and shopping, will begin. Lastly, I leave you with a Merry Pre-Christmas Shopping Bonanza!
Huzzah for non-denominational holidays. It's a shame this isn't one of them. LOL, just kidding!
---BTW, the timing's wrong on the posts, right now it's actually 11:59 AM. Just in time for the morning!
