I want this.... badly XD. Had I known this existed a few months ago, it would be in my possession. But sadly, I didn't know such a good represention of "The Paper" existed and it's now out of print. If anyone who reads this knows where I can get one, please help me out ^^*
The past week or so has been challenging. Trying to makeup all the work lost on the flash drive has been.... "fun" for lack of a more sarcastic term. The website is still somewhat of a lost cause, but I'll be giving another hand it tonight after this post while at work. However, on the bright side, at least I'm actually learning for once... even if it IS getting confusing keeping all the computer languages seperate. In short, the school life is going well, even though the tutoring job has forced me to make some changes in other activities.... not being able to do anything Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights in a row makes for hard times in my online games - so it's forced my hand in clicking the "cancel account" button on my FFXI subscription. Not even the best guilt trip by the best of friends can rationalize 13+ dollars a month when I can only "play" 2 days a week.
Now, back to bibliophilia....
(I was going to continue with a personal reflection, but I'd rather not at the moment - tutoring's busy and it's causing me to be distracted from the reflection process) Due to the fact that my father purchased some things for me for Christmas that I already had, I was able to return them (and trade in some used dvds) for a 53 dollar Suncoast Gift Card. I had been waiting for the Suncoast near me since then to stock something I'd need to finish different anime collections (CCS Vol 2, Onegai Teacher Vol2-4, etc etc) but even after all this time - nothing. I've been finding dvd selection in general at these places (FYE, Suncoast for 2 examples) to be extremely lacking. But being somewhat lucky, I drove to a much larger mall this afternoon and checked the Suncoast there before work. I would of preferred finishing off a different series (since I still have all of this in Mpeg version) but I was able to acquire the rest of Read or Die The TV. 3 dvds for 20 bucks (after random sale and gift card) Yomiko and the gang in all their bibliophile goodness. Afterwards, half keeping in theme, half being just plain bored - I finally went inside the new Kinokuniya Bookstore that opened up. I hadn't been in one since hanging out with Dan in the city o so long ago. It's too bad I had no money on me - they had the full Evangelion, X/1999, new .Hack mangas.... and hell, they even stocked Read or Die.... the manga. I had no idea the manga was translated! *_* And their art section... makes me want to pick up my pencil (which is a good thing) Lucky I got this tutorial job >.> I will own them all... all in good time. Better get back to work for now though - I can barely keep my train of thought as it is.
