Manga Update

Well it's been a while since I've posted pictures of the manga I've gotten since last time I took pictures. It's not that much but it's still a bit of a leap from where I left off.

[WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD!!!]

AUGUST 26

Okay, first we have School Rumble volume 1, which I snagged for two dollars. It's gross how yellow the pages are... But the series is funny.
Then we have Dark Edge volume 1, which was five dollars. It's about zombies [in a way] and I think it's pretty cool :)
Finally there's Yotsuba&! volume 5. I had finally caught up, but Yen Press has already released volume 6 so I'm behind again

SEPTEMBER 2

Also bought at Franks. These are Dark Edge volumes 2 and 3. [The crazy thing is that the orange one doesn't have a big 2 on it]. Got both of these for five bucks a pop as well.
Personally, I'm liking this series although there was a part in volume 3 [I think] that shouldn't have been there...either censored or rated as M... *shudders*
Anyways, it's still cool but there were a lot of cliffhangers. Um... I think volume 3 was better than 2.

September 3

Okay, I was waiting forever to get CSI: Intern at Your Own Risk this September. I found it to be really good though the disappointing thing was that it's only a oneshot T_T [that and I think it cost, like, 14 dollars and it's bigger and wider than other books]. But it was still awesome.
Oh, and I also got Catching Fire, the second book of the Hunger Games Trilogy. [By the way, that book was freaking awesome!!! Can't wait for book 3!]

Spetember 5

This book I wasn't actually going to buy [I've never even heard of it actually]. It's called The Day of Revolution volume 1. I got this at Franks, too, although I think I was going to try and get Future Diary or Four-Eyed Prince.
Somehow I got into a 'romance' conversation with the manga lady, and then I tried to be polite and be like "oh, I don't know if I want this series" with some books. Then we got onto gender-benders and then it was closing and I figured "why not? I'll get the other books later" so I got this book.
It was okay though I think I'd rather have bought something else...

September 12

Okay, so at Barnes and Noble I got Future Diary volume 3. This book was really good and it was pretty crazy, like the first two books in the series.
I think I was able to get my dad to take me to Barnes but I had that 15% off coupon so I was going to use it on this book and pay for it. Then my dad grabbed the White Album [from the Beatles] and the coupon went towards that and he paid for it :)
But yeah--good book.

October 3

Hm, this one's pretty crazy looking and hard to see.
Basically, I went to Frank and Sons this day since I think my brother wanted to so I thought [why not?] and we also painted. Anyways, so I went and I figured I might get the next Dark Edge. Then I saw this one guy who wasn't there before. And he had these two boxes that said 'Manga $2'. Who the hell would pass that up? I got there and started looking--the guy said he recogninzed me and gave me 'em at $1 each!!! I grabbed the books I recognized and most the volume 1s.
Here's the list: Chikyu Misaki volume 1, Dark Edge volume 4, Dragon Hunter volume 1, Eden: It's an Endless World volume 1, Gundam Seed Astray volume 1, Kazan volume 1, Lunar Legend Tsukihime volume 1, Moon Child volume 1, No Man's Land volume 2, Dragon Wars, Hissing volume 1, Steam Detectives volume 2.

October 25

Finally, these are the books I got yesterday.
The first one is Cirque du Freak volume 3. I know there's a movie that just came out, and the trailer looks so much more different than the manga so I'm like "what? that didn't happen that way" but it might've been that way in the books. I think I might see the movie but I don't know if anyone else wants to...
And we have Negima!?Neo volume 3. Also a book I've been meaning to buy and, well, now I have it. [I found out there's only 6 books in the Neo, which is pretty cool.]
Now yesterday I wanted to go to Borders 'cause they had a 'buy 4 get 5th free' on manga and there were five books that came out this month and I'm like "I'm going to go and get the books all in one go", etc. So I went...and they only had Negima!?neo [and Amazing Agent Luna 5]. I'm like, "what the hell?" 'cause that's stupid. It seems Borders and Barnes sell almost complete opposites when it comes to manga. Anyways, so then I got a book for my eldest brother, and we went to Halloween shops. Then we went to Barnes and Nobles and they had four of the five books I wanted [I think]. And I got these two.

My life's story--The end.

Pancake Breakfast

Well it's been a bit of time since I've last posted here... ^^; [sorry 'bout that].

But I guess I'll just continue off from today. So, it was the Pancake Breakfast to promote Red Ribbon Week and the community service club I joined kinda does the shinddig and stuff. Basically the member got to school around 6:30-7:30 and it went from 7-12. I personally didn't think it would be such a hit but the line never got any shorter until the last forty-five minutes. O.O
It was behind the gym where the table and the griddle was and tables set up down on the blacktop. There were some tents with groups that I think were promoting 'no drugs'. The police was there as well as a mounted cavalry [horse], the fire department and the SWAT team gave a little performance later on. It was cool :D
As per the kids, our club booth had facepainting and a beanbag toss. There was this train ride thingy [kinda lame but it looked kinda fun too]. And finally, there were two giant jumper/slides. One was just a slide and the other was an obstacle course with a slide at the end. I worked at the later one, making sure the little kids didn't get stuck or needed help, as well as giving the okay to let the next set in. This one looked so fun but I didn't go on it though [other big kids did =p
Around 11:20 I was thirsty so I went to get a water and I saw that the line to pancakes was extremely short [and I was hungry]. So yeah--I got pancakes and they were so good XD
Anyways, it ended and we put things away, took a group picture, and signed out at 12.


Let's see, I think I should talk about school but I don't want to take too long. So here's my *updated* schedule:
1 - Chemistry Honors
2 - Algebra II Honors
3 - English II Honors
4 - Spanish II
5 - AP World History
6 - Sports PE
In case you were wondering, my 4th and 5th changed. What happened was that--when I got my schedule--I assumed that I got AP World History and went home. I got to school on Monday and found that I had History with my friend, and when 4th rolled around I got stupid regular >:O What the hell!? I even signed up for AP and I have a crazy high GPA! Arggh!!!
So on Tuesday I went after school and had to wait in line for a stupid hour, which sucks because when I got to line I was--like--two seconds late from being one person ahead and I think the person ahead of me had their mom or something which was why it took so damn long..... [My friend got in and out while I was waiting too, which was annoying]. *breath* So I got in and said I wanted to go into an AP but I needed the signature of my new and old teacher, then come back and get it changed, then get my book... My new teacher was there but my old was gone so I went early the next day to have to wait ten minutes before she showed up. And because of that I couldn't change it before school so I went during nutrition [which was good since my math class is literally right there]. The other thing that was stupid was that me and other kids who were waiting for the counselor waited for a few minutes before he showed up, but then he was talking to some guy until the bell rang. Luckily I was first so I got it changed, then during lunch I got the new book. *sigh*
On a side note, the regular class and AP class are really different [unless you have this one teacher who taught all APs last year but now only teaches one--it sucks for my friend =p]

So yeah, that's part of my life. I guess I'll have to post what books I've bought next time :D
