Retail therapy
Jun. 22nd, 2010 08:30 amI consoled myself for not being able to go to PortConMaine by buying the Basilisk complete box and managed to get the hard-to-find PaniPoni Dash on eBay for less than 50 bucks. Looks funny as hell.
Dropping mad cash
Aug. 16th, 2007 09:52 pmI can't believe I spent that much money in one day. Wow.
I bought:
- Seven new bras, two pair of jeans and a shirt, all on sale from Lane Bryant
- The new Loveless, Iono-Sama no Fanatics and two Fumi Yoshinaga manga (love her!)
- Season 4 box of Naruto (Hey, everyone's allowed a guilty pleasure)
- DVD of Hairspray (Yay John Waters), and a horor movie named Reincarnation
- The Game of the Year Edition of The Longest Journey & Dreamfall (Loved TLJ, have my doubts about Dreamfall (no Cortez). It'll be nice to have TLJ on a DVD instead of 4 CDs though)
- Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil 2, SMT: Devil Summoner and SMT Persona3
- Echo Night Beyond (Ghosts ... in ... Space!!!!!)
- 5 bottles of Ramune for export back to Berlin
The nice thing about my job is that I can work two extra days and all of that stuff will be payed for with change left over. I'm off to watch Hairspray ...

Here's a master list of all the cool shit I picked up in civilization on vacation:
From Tokyo Kid (in Harvard Square) I got:
Jazz Manga vols. 1-3
Parasite Eve Soundtrack
Space Channel 5 Soundtrack (OMFG I can't believe I found this on the shelves)
From Barnes & Noble (in Saugus) / Borders (in Concord) I got:
Bleach Manga vols.1-5 & 7-16 (I went to three stores and couldn't find vol. 6)
Loveless Manga vols. 1-3
Full Moon wo Sagashite vols 1-4, 6, & 7
From GameStop (in Saugus) I got:
Red Ninja for PS2
From the B's Pro Shop in Boston I got:
A set of Bruins dog tags
A new key chain
A replica of Ray Bourque's retired number
From Suncoast (in Peabody) I got:
In the Mouth of Madness (I love that movie!)
I have corrupted my friend Kayla even further. Not only have I turned her on to Playstation 2, now she's buying MANGA! *sobs* I'm so proud of her!
If anyone has a local Border's, they are selling their Viz manga (Bleach, FMA, etc.) for buy three get one free. It's sweet! I made out like a cheap bandit hooker.
And the Bruins won 4-3 Saturday against the abysmally-poor-this-year Flyers, though the Bruins did not exactly play a stellar game. They gave up odd-man rushes all over. And their defense looks like it could use some more talent or steroids or a blow job or something, because I was not impressed. They could have won by a larger margin. But a win is a win, expecially when you spent $60+ a piece for tix. So I'm happy.

Watching Mirage of Blaze is like watching a sublimely beautiful train wreck. You watch with horror as the characters flay each other raw emotionally, and even thought you know what's going to happen (because you've watched the episodes a dozen times) you still can't help but sit there and watch in denial. GOD this series is so good. It makes me want to learn kanji faster so I can read the novels.
Why the sudden rumination on MoB? While I was in Concord, I came across a store that was selling the complete MoB TV on DVD for $19.99. I just about plotzed myself. I felt like walking up to the guy at the counter, shaking him real hard and bellowing, "HOW CAN YOU BE SELLING SOMETHING SO WONDERFULLY AND BEATIFULLY FANTASTICAL FOR ONLY 20 BUCKS!!!"
But I didn't. I kept my fool fangirl mouth shut and now I am the proud owner of the MoB Perfect Set for less than $20 (gotta love NH and it's no sales tax).
I can only assume that such a fortuitous event is the result of really good Karma on my part.
