Well for some odd reason we got Wednesday off for Veterans Day, which is weird becuase it's in the middle of the week unlike a Monday or Friday like usual. But yes--it was fun not to have to go to school :)
Anyways, my mom and I went out and had a 'mommy-daughter' day [too]. Hahaha, so lame, it sounds, but it was pretty fun, really. We slept in a bit and left to go to stores. First we went to Target at about 12 and mom was looking down all the aisles at first which felt like hell.... But I got some stuff for me--just little things--and I think we finally got out around two. Then I needed paper and we went to Staples which was near and at first I couldn't find it, but I did, and yes--I got paper a comp book. My mom and I were hungry so we were going to go to Round Table Pizza but we weren't sure if my brother wanted to go [since he also had the day off] but he didn't so it was just the two of us. The pizza there was good: really good. It took a bit of time to come out [which pizza always does, right?] but it was crazy awesome :D We made a pit stop at home then headed off to the best store ever--Barnes and Nobles. ^^ I wasn't really sure what to get, going down the row of bookshelves for a long time until I decided to snatch Spiral: Bonds of Reasoning volume 9. Then I told my mom I was ready--until I realized I had a gift card and thought--why the hell not?; I'll get another one.
At first I was tempted to get the Artemis Fowl graphic novel; when I first heard of it I thought that there was no way I'd ever consider getting it, but....no, I didn't get it. I finally reached to a conclusion of maybe getting the next Maximum Ride...or the next Pretty Face...but I ended up getting Hoshin Engi volume 2. I got volume 1 back when it came out in 2007 I think--there's 12 or 13 out already though. Finally I paid and my mom and I headed out to the last store, Pic n Save. Well, technically it's Big Lots, but we knew it as the old name and it's weird to say the real one. Yeah, we went and it wasn't bad; we actually left with quite a more than I expected but it wasn't [too] overload. I think we got home at 6 or 7 so we were gone for quite a bit :)Then the rest of the week went by. I'm kicking myself that I didn't finish chapter 14 in history 'cause I got a stupid 81 on my test >:( If I had actually went back and changed my answers that I thought were wrong and thought I knew the answer I could've gotten by with an 89-90 so I wouldn't have to do the stupid Proofs of Reading. Argh!
*sigh* But today was a pretty good day. Last night me and my family [well my parents actually] kinda had the night to ourselves. After piano my dad got [more] Round Table Pizza and the bread twist things, both of which were good. Then we were watching game shows eating pizza, and somehow we ended up watching the Supernanny that was on after it [haha]. I think at first we were going to watch a movie that my mom got from one of her friends but somehow during the show we got aroudn to deciding to play Guitar Hero >.<>
Anyhoo, after a day of doing nothing, really, my brother wanted to go to Franks again today. I figured why not since it has been a while, and I was kinda happy that he offered. So I was hoping that this one guy would be there--the same one that sold me 11 for $10--and he was. Except, he had boxes upon boxes of comics and I thought "darn, he doesn't have any manga today" but then he noticed me and showed me the boxes that had the 'maynga' [he says it like that but whatever]. I was thinking 'but those are comics' and he pulled out a few that were, actually, Japanese. I then remembered that I read somewhere that manga used to be flipped in comic book style as opposed to graphic novel style, which is how they usu
ally are. So I looked through hundreds of hundreds of comics and pulled out one that he mentioned, looking through the boxes until he motioned me to this other box where he found some other series and I ended up looking through almost all the boxes xp There was probably twenty or so but I can't recall. Yes. I ended up grabbing about twenty comics and this Ghost in the Shell book but I put the book away and seven of the comics and went to pay for them--the guy gave me the thirteen comics for only $2! [they were originally a quarter each so I got 'em half off of the already low price]. Here's the picture and what I got today: 3x3 Eyes 1-5, Blade of the Immortal oneshot, Mobile Suit Gundam 1-4, Cthulu Tales 1-2, and Mobius Klein. It's going to be weird to read manga like this but I think I might get used to it. Ah, and by the way, I guess I kinda became friends [a bit] with the shopkeeper, which is kinda cool. He said that he could bring in the graphic novel manga it I'd asked and I asked if he could bring 'em on Wednesday. I'm hoping my brother can take me there so I can--maybe--clear him out of most of the manga he's going to bring [plus I'll probably get 'em for a buck a pop again which would be so crazy awesome :D]
