Four for $15 - #26

So yeah, I went to Franks today after a really long time, and I wasn't really planning on buying anything. But then I was walking down the third or fourth aisle, and I passed by this one dealer who was selling used books [they looked used, and most of them were kiddish anyways]. Now I typically pass by this shop because they mostly sell girly things, and I'm not really that much of a girl. =p Yep, and as I was glancing at the books whilst I was walking, I saw something--a manga.

It was Orphen, volume 4, and then I noticed the issue or two of Shonen Jump. I thought it was kind of weird, so I looked and there were two small stacks of manga. I was pursuing through and there were some volumes of Utena and something else and like two Japanese volumes. But then I found some issues of Kindaichi Case Files, picked em up, and decided to purchase them. The lady there said they were four dollars each, but she'd give them to me for fifteen. I was glad, thanked her, and found out she usually brings in used books and sometimes there's manga and I should stop by more often.

And I think I will :)

Tres Cajas - #25

Hola, senoritas y sernores! :{D ...Don't ask. Anyways, the third box came in the mail today, and so I will show you peoples what I have been busy ordering. Well, kind of.

Alright, so here we have the three boxes I of stuff I ordered. It looks like a lot, but it really isn't.
One box is from Barnes, the other two are from RightStuf.
Actually, I got two boxes from RS because one item was allegedly on back order for a while so they shipped the two items separately. They were having a sale on Seven Seas so I bought a manga, and the last day they were beginning some DVD sale so I bought one for, like, 2 or 3. dollars.

Now I present you what I've got:

Soul Hunter DVD 1 - middle - This came in first, and was the DVD that cost cheap. I own the first two manga [called 'Hoshin Engi']. I don't know why I bought it, now that I think about it I should've used the money on Yubisaki Milk Tea...
Quantum Prophecy: The Reckoning - right - The third book of the Quantum Prohpecy trilogy. I kind of wish it came out last year so I probably would've had more time to read it, but I'm going to try to read it! Although I don't really remember much from the first two...
Tetragrammaton Labyrinth - left - I actually read it already, and it was pretty cool! :) Okay, so it's labled as 'strawberry', or 'yuri', and although I was expecting a bit more like from Strawberry Panic all the crazy demons and fights were awesome. I'm hoping to get more but I'm not sure where or if I can.

Yup, that's about it :D

XC Practice

Well, I've been complaining about it for the last several posts: Cross Country Practice.

Well, I'm a bit sore every now and then, and my shin splints and pulled hamstring[s] are still here but not hurting nearly as bad as during track. I'm lasting but since I hadn't gone to any practice since the end of May I was a bit out of shape. That, and I have to get up at 5:18 every morning to go run -.-

Anyways, the first two weeks were the 'dead period' meaning we weren't supposed to be running and training and stuff yet. So we did agilites and bleachers and more agilities and bleachers and, last Thursday through Saturday, games :) We have practice Monday through Friday, up until about 7-7:15 because of summer school, although I'm a bit nervous in two weeks when summer school is done and we don't have to stop early...

This week, on the other hand [exluding Monday], concludes my third week of practice [we don't have practice tomorrow, thank goodness]. We've been running this week, and were put into groups on Thursday. Tuesday and Wednesday we ran in groups of 'returners' and 'newbs'. Tuesday sucked 'cause our first official running day, and he made us do Citrus loop [and the wash], which is four miles, maybe. Wednesday, we did Francisquito and back, which is about three miles, after we had to run an 800 to see what group we belonged in. I'm group 2 [most likely not 3 'cause I've done track]. But yeah, so we did Citrus loop again yesterday and Hollenbeck loop today, which is a mile shorter. Truth be told, I'm pretty tired when I run and I know I'll be better after a while. Actually, I get a bit embarassed when the new people beat me...

So yeah, that's practice. Afterwards, when I get home, I take a shower, eat breakfast while watching TV, then hang out. Sometime during the day I take a nap. Then I have to do it all over agian...
