So, I've been putting off reading this book for at least two years, not been trying to find and failing but actively avoiding it. I got introduced to Cornelia Funke in middle school and loved The Thief Lord and Dragon Rider but I never liked Inkheart as much (and found myself disliking it more with each rewatch) and was pretty annoyed with Inkspell ( Read more... )

Another CMX manga that I only heard about after they went out of business and another unfinished series, 15 out of 21 volumes in the US and since it's a 1970s shojo manga about ballet I doubt it's going to get re-licensed ( Read more... )

and that I should've been worrying about the critique in my photo class today instead. Apparently a number of my classmates were working on stuff late last night instead of a few days in advance (and the teacher can check the logs to see who was in when so I know that rant wasn't directed at me, and she was pi~sed) and the department coordinator ( ( Read more... )

Alright, take two here, since livejournal deleted well over half this entry for the first time and I had no bloody way of getting it back. I was too slow to open up a new tab and use that draft and the undo button wasn't working here. So I'm really pissed that I just spent well over an hour typing and this entry is gonna be a little terse as a ( Read more... )

Blah, the past few days have been both busy and boring, too much stuff at some times not enough in others. I guess the best thing I can do is try to accurately represent both of those times, and frankly I'm bored now so I have nothing better to do than post ( Read more... )

...watch Nurse Witch Komugi. Seriously, it was Magical Girl/Boy night at the anime club and this was the only anime available. And and and, seriously it was made on BAD crack. So yeah, don't' watch it. I tried to take a sip of my Vitamin Water every time i saw sparkles and I ran out fast, not just because I started with a less then full cup. I said ( Read more... )

Got up earlier than I liked for a Saturday but it was okay because I was going to go jump off a waterfall! Well, my dorm was going to this waterfall and, while I wasn't totally keen with the jumping off idea, I thought it might be a good way to get to know other people bette so I signed up. We went to a smaller one than we initially planned on ( Read more... )

It's supposed to go down to seven degrees tomorrow morning, I think I shall stay inside until tomorrow afternoon at least. Shouldn't be hard, I've been sleeping until 10 or 11 each morning anyway (aka, however long it takes that cat to go, hey, she's not awake yet, OH BOY WARM BED! LET ME IN!). But I did for a walk today and, after I froze the baby ( Read more... )

"Yeah, the neighbors might wonder why Sam is jumping up and down in the recycling bin." We only have recycling once every two weeks so our bin gets pretty full, which results in my brother having to jump/stomp down so we fit everything in (and these bins are huge! Like, up to my neck-bone and I can't reach all the way around them huge ( Read more... )

Alright, it's anime review time! This time I am doing in this order: Code Geass R2, Full Metal Alchemist (and then a brief on the movie), Library War, Natsume Yujin-Cho, and Princess Tutu. It's wide range and here's how this works, I post a picture, a link to the ANN info page (since they do summaries better than I do), a general overview, the good ( Read more... )
