So the other day, as some people might know, I picked up the sixth volume of a series in which a teenage boy hero and his friends join together to battle impossible odds with their special powers. Friendships are made, long-held beliefs are shattered, and the hero sees his archenemy and mortal rival get taken down a notch or ten.

Oh yeah, and in addition to Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist volume six, I also got Half Blood Prince.

Also, this is my new favorite holiday.

...Funny, it seems like there's more...

Yes, I am alive. Miss me?

I've been doing a lot of reading, lately, specifically the manga of Ken Akamatsu. This happened because I picked up Negima! on a whim at the bookstore -- it's just released, and for you manga lovers, pick it up; it's a great read, and Del Ray did a very thorough job of translation, including maintaining honorifics and translating sound effects -- it makes a huge difference. Negima! is hilarious. That being the case, I went back to earlier works -- A.I. Love You, which is a respectable first outing (it was Akamatsu-sensei's first project, and it shows, but is still good), and Love Hina. I finally understand whatr Love Hina is so popular. It's damn good.

I'm waiting to hear on the research assistant position -- still. I do have a phone interview tomorrow, and I plan to ace that. I have yet to see any mail from the Bureau of Labor and Industry, so there may be some hope that Step-by-Step isn't appealing the appeal -- and yes, they can do that, as I understand it, despite having failed to even present themselves at the last hearing.

It's funny... I was offline for days, and yet coming back, nothing at all has changed.

Back to Love Hina.

The first book of Wish, the first two of Chobits, the first Angelic Layer DVD.

And they're releasing uncut Sailor Moon. Oh god, I WANT!

Angelic Layer is a pretty cool manga.
