One of the things that makes going to Gymboree on Thursdays worth enduring is the fact that it’s right next door to a comic book shop. After The Shake gets her fill of fun then I walk about 20 feet and get mine.

Today I went and got this there. I’ve been wanting to read it since high school, but only now did I pick it up. I just never got around to it, though in my defense, I don’t think it had been translated and published in English back when I discovered the series.

Heck, I had a real bitch of a time trying to find just about any anime/manga that I was interested in back then. I remember how excited I was when I found a bootleg VHS copy of Rayearth (not Magic Knights, just plain Rayearth) at a comic shop. It was the same place where I picked up the first volume of Vision of Escaflowne when it came out on VHS. It wasn’t until several years later that I found the rest of the series (also on VHS) at Suncoast. Of course, by that time, everyone was into Japanese Animation so it wasn’t as cool anymore.

Well, I’m off to read my new book do homework. *cough* Or… exercise. Or something.

When we moved into this apartment I donated four boxes, packed to overflowing, of books to the Plattsmouth library.

I still don’t have enough book shelves to provide homes for all of my books.

And today, my friends, I went and bought more. It’s because of people like me that library cards exist, and yet I haven’t gotten around to getting one yet. My transcription courses are held in a library, and I haven’t gotten around to getting a card yet.

Anyway, I forgot to bring my recommendation list with me so all I got was Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz, and a couple Discworld books by Terry Pratchett. Nobody recommended Terry Pratchett, but I went and got them anyway. Because how can you go wrong with Terry Pratchett? And, all right, I also forgot what all you guys came up with. But I promise I’ll bring the list with me next time.

And I’ll get a library card. (<—That was my six, by the way.)

P.S. Found this at the bookstore. “Eating Star Wars chocolate, I am.” (another six! I’m on a friggin ROLL)

P.P.S. You’re a genuine geek if you not only caught the reference, but knew that Dagobah was missing an ‘h’.

P.P.P.S. Yes, I realize I’m incredibly sexy. *coughchokedie* Actually I thought that merely holding up the candy bar in front of the webcam would be obvious and boring.

I am out of new books for the readings and enjoyings of!

Recommendations plz?

K, thnx.

P.S. No more cold weather.
