Wii

2007-12-08T01:10:27Z

arrived today (thanks for throwing yet another package at the door, Mr. Obviously-Hates-Making-Daily-Trips-Up-Three-Flights-of-Stairs-Mailman). I'll be even less loquacious than usual, until I get this out of my system. I was looking forward to the Wii Fit board, but having seen an ad for it, it looks pretty bland. Maybe DDR will help get me off my ass -- with the side benefit of putting some rhythm into my clumsy-self.

Fictionwise, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

1, 2, 300...

Five Year Buywise Super Promo.

I am a total sucker for sales/discounts/freebies/promos/coupons. I picked up 87 88 ebooks, only 4 of which I was going to buy regardless. It's a nice opportunity to hopefully discover new authors or even reacquaint myself with authors I've drifted away from.

Of course, now I have almost $400 of Micropay and nothing in my wishlist. Fictionwise is an evil genius, and I am its willing lemming.

Buying Manga

2007-10-26T18:54:14Z

This is just for my own personal interest. I'm curious what recently licensed titles people are reading or are interested in reading.

View Poll: #1077994

And on a totally unrelated subject, I have frickin' four copies of Meatmen volume 19. WTH?

Edit: Oh yeah, "Close the Last Door" fans, there's a fansub by Aarinfantasy of the first OVA (info also available at a variety of torrent trackers including animesuki). And the OVA directly follows the manga, so if you haven't been able to get a hold of the manga, check out the fansub. Deliciousness all around!

Advice from the "Straight" Horse's Mouth

2007-09-16T20:38:07Z

Dear ~~Abby~~TONY:

My boyfriend, "Bunny", recently bought two (TWO!) copies of the October issue of Out Magazine. I found them nestled together (I think they were spooning) in a green Barnes & Noble bag. Should I stop over-~~fantasizing~~thinking this? Should I assume he's reading it for the articles? Why is John Barrowman such a cupcake of deliciousness?

--Perplexed (and horny) in ~~Ghey~~Whey-Diego.

P.S. Your abandoned journal sucks.
P.P.S. I know I have to send these magazines to Italy, but I think the Captain Jack twins would much rather stay and have me ogle them.

Not manga related...

2007-09-08T23:59:42Z

but definitely related to "Teh Ghey". Is anyone (reading this) reading Matthew Haldeman-Time's "In This Land"? And if you're not, why not?!

I tried to be good and wait until this holiday season to subscribe (I wanted to use subscriptions as Xmas gifts, then I'd have friends to "squee" with), but I couldn't wait. Instead, I'm dedicating this weekend to immersing myself in the wonderfully addictive and elaborately seductive and rich world of Orina Anoris. MHT is a ~~god~~. (Okay, he's just a man. With the writing abilities of a god.)

EDIT: I'm an idiot, and actually didn't even redeem the GC I bought for myself correctly, so if anyone else gets a little confused, just make sure you click on "Redeem" on the subscription page (i.e., 3 months gc should be redeemed here).

If you're reading this, yay, you got back home safe and wtf, get some sleep, foo. Unless you're drawing me fabulous images of hot guys in that psuedo-neuvo-euro-comic style, in which case, wtf, why isn't it done yet? (Make me into a bunny, cause bunnies are hot and fuzzy and cute and disturbingly evil... and DO taste like chicken *grumbles* And don't forget my army of turnips.)

And speaking of radishes, get off the myspace so you stop getting confused with all those pedophiles, and upgrade to the drama that is livejournal.
