A Very Otaku Christmas
Okay, so the holiday season was really a big bust for me this year. Everyone knew what I wanted this year: anime and manga. But the problem is that nobody knew exactly what kind of anime or manga to get me. So they had a very simple compromise, just get me gift cards. I was getting them from all over the place. Borders, Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com… which is good, because I sure as hell used up those gift cards the very first night they were placed into my hands.
Also, I decided to treat myself for some pretty big Christmas gifts. The whole reason why I haven’t been updating this journal lately is because I was working hard at my paid internship. So now that I got the money, I might as well spend it, huh? And so here is all the new stuff I got in the past couple of weeks. It’s a combination of gifts, gift cards, and mostly my own personal spending:

Yeah, I strongly agree with you on that one. It wasn’t particularly the best series I’ve ever bought. I guess there was a reason why it was so inexpensive at Best Buy, huh?
