Manga Update #24

Well, I suppose that having so many entries dedicated solely to manga and books makes me a nerd, but whatever! Although, I have to blame school this year [and possibly next] for not writing so many entries in '10... *sigh*

But here's my update of my manga, everything from this year [except from CMX BARGAIN]:

CLICK FOR BIGGER PICTURE

The manga from my bookcases [and Shutter Island]. Majority of the manga I bought this year, about forty [I think].

I know I haven't bought many books in these last six months [whoa, it's already the end of June!] Actually, I did buy a lot this year, now that I realize I'm 12 shy of 300.... O.o

Anyways, I don't plan on buying as much manga this year as last year: one, it's expensive. two, my mom is a little annoyed I have so much xp. three, I'm getting a little out of it, not entirely, and I'm going to try really hard not to buy manga I don't really want unless I get a good deal :)

CLICK FOR BIGGER PICTURE [although the titles are pretty visable]

The cheap one-dollar manga I've bought this year from my friend at Franks'. I haven't gone to talk to him for a while [in fact, I've kind of been ignoring him...]

Anyways, I hope I can fine more cheap manga :)

CLICK FOR BIG- actually, you don't need to...

The second part of the 365 Days of Manga contest, Galaxy Angel volumes 1-5. I haven't even read it yet, though, but it looks kinda interesting. I was hoping he'd send me more... interesting [and non-shoujo] manga, but whatever. Free's free :)

EDIT: I also realized, like yesterday when I was cleaning up, that I won Galaxy Angel Rune anime DVDs 1-2 baaaack in '07 from RightStuf. It's like a foreshadowing without knowing...

From now on, I will be doing 'Manga Update #'s for my manga, and likewise with books, so if you don't care for these you don't have to read 'em. I'll try my best to update more often since it's summer, but...oh gosh, I just realized when I wake up at 5:15 tomorrow morning, I'm going running........

Relocation

Today, my mom recruited me and my brothers [again] to help pack up and move things around 'cause she has to move her room.

It wasn't too terribly bad, but it was more fun on Wednesday because we played with a bouncy ball for an hour or two [haha]. We finished packing up boxes and bringing the filled ones down to her new room. I don't know how many times we made the trek down and up, but I'm glad it's over xp. But yeah. since one of my brothers didn't eat breakfast, my mom gave 'em money to go buy pastries at a corner store, and they got me a honey bun. But it wasn't any normal bun: it was covered, plastered in glaze that at first I was like 'oh yum' until I found out there was 600 effing calories in that thing. I hate it slooowly the whole day, so that may have been why I wasn't so hungry.

Anyways, the coolest thing evar! :) While looking through one of the closests, we found a globe. I was thinking: it's a globe, not like I haven't seen one before. Until my mom said it was really old and the globe still said USSR or something on it. That caught my attention, and my eldest brother and I ran towards the globe [kind of] and saw that it did, indeed, said 'Soviet Union' on it. :D It was cool! I knew it fell around 1990, so it must have been in the 1980s 'cause, after further inspection, there was even the split between East and West Germany. That. Globe. Was. Awesome. :D It's a shame, though, that my other brother pulled it in half and somehow convinced my mom to throw it away when us two were down in the new room. *sigh*

The worst part was that it two us TWO HOURS to get home today. Why? Well, I'd love to say traffic, but it wouldn't have taken more than an hour. No; we got on the wrong freeway, got off, drove for who-knows-how-long, fuinally called our dad to get directions and found out we were waaay off. He helped us get to the right freeway, which was packed, so after a little while we took the streets for the last hour and drove home. Then, I collapsed on my bed, and slept for two hours. I ate pizza at nine :)

Not much of a day, but it was fun. I'm still sleeepy though, and it doesn't help that xc practice starts on Monday. Oh shiz, I'm going to have to be running....

Summer Vacation

*munches on chocolate graham* Okay, so this is my second official day of summer vacation, and I must say it is delightful not doing anything :D I finally went swimming for the first time this summer, although I must admit: the water was cold! I hated it but it was hot today so after a while it wasn't too bad. The only shame was that my brothers soon tired of the water quickly, so we didn't get a chance to hang out too much...

But yeah; I slept in till, like, 11 today, although I planned to wake up around 9 or 10 so I could work on my story. Didn't work out the way I planned. I need to start my summer reading for AP Language *blech!*, which I will describe later on.

Also, I will *hopefully* actually get around to running this summer for cross country; I blame my ankle and shin splints and lack of not having run for a long time after the accident that made me hurt REALLY bad after my first day. Although, I must admit I was only tired last summer; then when we did the lunges, I felt like crap. *sigh* But I want to be a better runner and I already did track [although I'm not good at it]. I'm not sure if I will have any friends there [I have some but they also have friends and I personally feel they only talk to me because I'm alone [sometimes I feel that way]]. While I do admit I like being alone, I also like talking to people. *sigh* We'll see next Monday...at 5:30...

Well, my summer has consisted of video games and the computer and reading. Actually, that's how my summer's usually are [haha]. But right now I fell in love with this webcomic called "Questionable Content" by Jeph Jacques. I may not get all the indie jokes or whatever, but the comic is generally hilarious. I'm only on number 175 out of, like 1600... Sheesh, I have a lot to read...

Anyways, this comic [to the left] is one that I found hilarious, simply because it takes on D&D but makes it nerdier and funnier. It probably seems funnier once you know who the characters are, so I insist on reading this webcomic :)

Speaking of which, I'm aware I haven't written in a loooong time. Usually, though, It was only about my manga collection and books and stuff. I will try not to talk about it as much, maybe just a mention or something. Oh, which reminds me I need to update what I've bought this year. And I'm nearing 300 manga... holy shit...

Last Thursday at 12:22 in the afternoon, our school got out of, well, school. :D

The only thing is, is that it doesn't qutie feel like school's over. I mean, I haven't been doing much either, but I keep having this feeling that I'm supposed to go and do homework or it's just another long weekend and school will be here again. Hrm...

On other news, my brother came home! Yay! :D It was also last Thursday, around 6-7 in the evening. My dad and I were going to go up and get him Friday, but my mom was compaining that he would have to stay up another day, blah blah. Sigh, but at least we're all a family again :)
