I have read the first two volumes of Kamichama Karin and found them to be entertaining. Its all about kids that are able to channel the power of Greek Gods. Its cute and serious at the same time. I like the characters and the story moves along nicely. I will probably request some more of these from the library ( Read more... )

Yet another batch of free goodies from the library. tokraed went by today after her seminar at Florida State. She returned about a dozen books and came home with twice as many! I am so loving this on-line hold capability. I basically got the whole Moonphase collection at one time! I already own volume one but had decided not to buy the series because ( Read more... )

Work was rather less than fulfilling today. I was notified pretty early on that the design for what I was working on had changed and the last 4 days work was a pure waste of time. Yes I learned some new techniques, but I had to dump all the code I did recently. Sigh! Now I am on priority bug fixing for our project. Basically I am fixing ( Read more... )

I just finished reading volume 5 of Megatokyo. I really love this web comic/manga. It makes me laugh uncontrollably and it makes my heart ache. That is just plain good story telling! ... it also gets me so involved in the story I can't sleep. Guess I will code a little WPF and get a jump on the work week! Hope everyone else out there is fast

So another Sunday is here and I have another bag of books from the library. Both of our accounts are now maxed out at 50 items checked out. Hard to believe there are 100 books in the house from the library! I am chewing through them steadily though ( Read more... )

Well we have been steadily attacking the new stack of anime that I bought last month. We just finished Full Metal Panic: Second Raid. This was a lot of fun, but leaned more toward the serious side of the series rather than focusing half and half on the comedy side. I guess this was a reaction to Full Metal Panic: FUMOFFU which was all comedy. ( Read more... )

So we went back to the library again. Its amazing the amount of stuff you can get when you have two library cards and an internet connection ( Read more... )

Up until today I had enjoyed all the manga I had picked up at the library. Today I tried reading Get Backers. I was never really attracted to the premise of people who get back lost/stolen things, but I still thought I would give it a chance. I was not prepared for how really disappointed I would be with this manga. The characters were two ( Read more... )

We went to the library today to pick up the manga books that I had on reserve. I was supposed to walk out with 11 books, but we found a ton of stuff on the shelves and ended up walking out with 38 books! Yes! That $350+ worth of free manga I get to read! I am so stoked!

I end up with:

MegaTokyo : volumes 1-3
Comic Party : volumes 1-5
Anima : ( Read more... )

Looks like today went a little more according to plan. We got all our shopping done, we had lunch out, I got my new library card and we went through cook books tonight trying to compile some new recipes to try on my diet. All in all a good day. Tomorrow at work I will be back on the project I want to be on, but somehow I can't seem to get ( Read more... )
