I has a computer!! *rejoices* It's very pretty and fast and has a 22" monitor and speakers with a subwoofer (I had no idea how much different 2.1 sound was to crappy laptop speakers until now), and is my precious. MY PRECIOUSSSSSSSS.

I named it Kyouko, because I had just finished reading Skip Beat! vol. 12 (oh, I love that series so damn much ( Read more... )

Congrats ont he computer, sucks about the cold. You are correct about the fueling power of Vista. I hope you have better luck customizing it to your specifications than I did.
Have you read most of Tokyo Crazy Paradise? Isn't that the one with the girl who looks like a young boy who ends up being this rich guy's body guard?
Did you hate the Special A anime or manga? The anime isn't very good but, if you can, you might want to consider giving the manga a try. It is soooooooooooooooo much better! I love the manga so much but the crappy quality of the anime is squahing my desire to want to read it.
Patty turned me onto Diana Wynne Jones. After reading Howl's Moving Castle I was hooked. So many differences between it and the movie. Her other books seem to be pretty good so far (The Game was a little eh.)
Oh, Her Majesty's Dog is another pretty good one. Do you know about www.onemanga.com ? It's just an online reader, no downloading.

Yeah, that's the one. It's totally awesome and should be required reading for any shounen manga fans who believe shoujo doesn't have any action, especially of the ones who like the fighting/tournament subgenre. It does have some problems with "genetic destiny", which I'm not a fan of, but on the whole I love the series so. ♥ The only problem with recommending it to people is that it's so frickin' wordy and has scared away many fan translators because of it. Because of this, I think the last two or three volumes haven't been scanlated at all. (I believe there's a members-only yahoo group out there that's doing some HQ releases, but they started back on volume 7 or something, because that's where the scanlations started getting patchy.)

Between Skip Beat! and Tokyo Crazy Paradise, if I could only recommend one despite how much it would hurt my soul, I'd go for TCP. TCP was ( ... )
