Late Spring Cleaning...
Urk, I'm surprised of how much SHIT I have in my room. If there's one skill I have mastered in life, that skill is stuffing things in a neat manner. LMAO.
I have a fashion magazine stack that's at LEAST 3-4 feet tall. Orz, I even have National Geographic mags from the early 1980s. I found them at a thrift store and they had a November 1983 one, the month I was born. LMAO so I'm definately keeping that one so I can show my kids how the world was when their mama was just popped into it. But I have issues upon issues of ELLE, CUTIE (a Japanese boho/punk fashion magazine) and those VIBE Illustration issues I kept since fucking forever (I especially kept one since one of them had the last VIBE interview that the singer Aallyiah did before she died in 2001 (she was my favorite singer, still one of them even now).
And since I'm selling some of my doujins, I'm planning to sell my Comickers issue and a issue of S Magazine (which is like Comickers but much better and better bang for your buck since you practically pay the same price as Comickers). And I might as well sell that Weiss Kreuz book since I LONG stop fangirling the series (not like I really fangirled it much because it was awful through and through but I liked the characters and my IRL friends were fans of it.).
I might as well get rid of those Imagine FX issues too since there's a demand of old issues since most of them usually go out of print very quickly. I stopped buying them because I lost my job and they're crazily expensive ($15.99 a issue!) and the material wasn't helping me to develop the way I want too so I plan just to buy the compliations they bring out occasionally, I still have to find the first one. orz..
And I'm selling those Teen Vogues too, I have every issue since the first monthly one with Gwen Stefani on the cover to around late 2007, then a couple 2008 issues here and there. I got bored with the mag like I did with its sister magazine, Vogue. Man, it made me wish that ELLE Girl still existed in print format and that JANE still exist. JANE was a fucking awesome magazine, I hate throwing out some of the issue I still had, but I'm definitely keeping the last issue. I was so fucking depressed that they went under and still am, it was the only young women magazine that catered to my age group and wasn't like a grown up version of Seventeen with laughable excerpts from horrible romance novels that worse than the worst smut I've read in my life.
Meh, I'll let my mother get pissed off that I didn't rip them apart and thrown the remainders I didn't wait to keep for archiving later. I get around it next week so I can throw it out next Friday when she goes to Puerto Rico for vacation.
And I REALLY, REALLY want to get rid of all those bootleg cassette tapes back when internet fansubs were still unheard of. I have Ranma 1/2, Sailor Moon, Slayers and all that starter anime fan stuff and some obscure like Shamanic Princess, which I REALLY need to get the DVD of the OVA. But 80% of my videotape is Ranma, Ranma, Ranma. God, I was in LOVE with that series. It was my first manga too (and I still have the crazy prized $15.99 English volumes in very good condition and they were NEW at the time. LMAO.)
Lately, I've been listening to Coldplay's latest singles. I even brought the 'Violet Hill' single, and boy I didn't mind I miss the chance of downloading for free. But I'm seriously thinking of buying the album, but I have to check the rest of the album first. I was a so-so fan of them since Parachutes, my sister is a bigger fan of them although she never brought their last album, X&Y (most due that she doesn't buy stuff without thinking over it many times before buying it and I think Radiohead, her favorite alt. rock band came out with an album that year, so it was a choice between them). But if the album is as awesome as 'Violet Hill' and 'Viva la Vida', I won't hesitate to buy it.
On the subject of music, if I'm not repeating Coldplay like mad, I'm playing Bollywood music... well, close to it. I had surf the intrawebs the other day and downloaded the soundtracks to Bride and Prejudice and Monsoon Wedding. I didn't care much from B&P's non-Bollywood music except that Ashanti song she sang in the movie. But out of the two, Monsoon Wedding's album was much better, especially 'Chunari Chunari' and 'Aaj Mera Jee Kardaa' (Today My Heart Desires). The only disappointment I had with the MW soundtrack is that they didn't have the song that one of the female relatives sang at the party before the wedding, which was a very beautiful and heartbreaking song.
Well, I'm going to go and...err... play Twilight Princess and work on the non-worksafe doujins late tonight to Sunday. A little unknown fact about me: I don't read non-worksafe stuff on Sundays. I kept up that self-enforced rule as part as my religious observance as a Christian. LMAO, I might as well do that since I don't go to church (which, to a visual learner like me, bores me to death and wayyyy toooo lonnnng [the church my family regularly goes has sermons that last for 2.5 hours and that estimated time. At least it wasn't like the last church we went to which was like 4 hours long. I can't even last in an art class that long.)
