I'm an otaku, and I'm okay~
Frustrated with the amount of money eBay members have to outbid me with, I hit Little Tokyo with hopes of getting a certain OVA on DVD. I'd probably wind up paying more doing it that way, but I want want the version that comes from Hong Kong and the one released here is now out of print or something. No good, they only had the Chronicles of the Heroic Knight boxed set, not what I was looking for even if I could afford it. However, I did sight some great SNK artbooks which I wasted far too much time browsing through. Then I went back and spent some time looking through the latest edition an artbook of model kits. Those model kit artbooks manage to be cool yet suck at the same time. They have rare stuff like models of Akari from Last Blade. Rarer stuff like females from obscure series. And then they have ecchi stuff like an injured Rei Ayanami naked and in bondage from her own bandages. However, these are just artbooks. Not catalogues. Oh well, I haven't even assembled the model I got some two years ago.
Speaking of Rei, I looked through her "Graphical Library" again. I tell ya, the psychology is too darn good on that thing. After flipping through only my favorite parts of the book, I considered buying it. I could have afforded it at the expense of not being able to buy other things I need. I even tried justifying it to myself with stuff like, "we'll just sell it on eBay after getting access to a scanner. Hello??" Fortunately I broke the spell. I'm crazy enough as it is without ANOTHER fictional female to admire. I don't even like Rei, but the book is that powerful.
Having wasted too much time (there's a time limit on subway tickets I try to beat) at the bookstore I made a beeline to the nearby market for Calpis and strawberry mocchi. Ice cream is so much neater with a gooey covering dusted with powder. I'll persue other shops another day...
