Retail therapy

Books (All manga/manhwa, as I'd assembled a huge stack and decided not to look in any other areas of the store after that. :D)

Bride of the Water God, vol. 1
Togari, vol 1-3
Parasyte, vol. 2
Cain Saga, vol. 1
Mammoth Book of Best New Manga, vol. 2
Banya the Explosive Delivery Man, vol. 5 - I don't think I've gotten vol 4 yet, but I see this so rarely in the actual store that I jumped on it. I may end up doing the Amazon thing for vol. 4.


Food - from Central Markupet, right across the parking lot from the Borders I went to - and I went to that Borders, near my wor, because I remembered just in time that I needed to get a temp parking permit so I could actually park on campus for work tomorrow.

A small bison chuck roast, a little over 1 pound. I figure I'll crockpot it overnight: a bit of Googling reveals some potential recipes. I just need to decide which ones I'm going to cannibalize to create whatever recipe I end up doing. :D

Also, gourmet butter, because the idea of gourmet butter always makes me giggle. And bread on which to eat it, and some California Jack cheese to eat with it, and some Fuji apples to go with it all.

Some sort of Spanish red wine, which I'll toss a bit into the crockpot along with the other stuff.

Scharffen Berger semisweet chocolate.

And ... er, some other stuff that I don't quite remember at the moment.

Now, I'm just exhausted and I think I'll assemble what I'm going to eat tonight and veg in front of the TV. The TiVo has learned that my seekrit guilty low-class schadenfreude-ish pleasure is watching How Clean Is Your House? on BBCAmerica and I have two episodes waiting for me. :D

I shall do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING PRODUCTIVE tonight!!

(now watch me get struck with an idea for yuletart that simply must be done RIGHT NOW...)

But demands from one's muse aren't the same as demands from bosses or such!

It can even feel good, doing that kind of work.

Togari 3 is out? Awesome.

I should warn you that Cain Saga 1 is pretty bad. 2 is an improvement. But the really excellent stuff is in Godchild.

I ended up with CS because I knew I'd read a bit of the first part of Godchild in SHojo Beat, but didn't remember how much, and wanted to buy a story I hadn't yet read. :D Will keep your warning in mind!

EEEE Yuki Kaori! Third the warning about the first volume, which sucks and bears little resemblance to the rest of the series. The art of CS and Godchild also differs a lot because she wrote Angel Sanctuary in between them.

I am greatly anticipating your reactions ^_^.

Bison pot roast is awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwesome. One of my favorite foods, ever. I really like it with the usual carrots and gravy, but also popovers with butter. Mmmmm.

And ooooh, manga!

I second rachelmanija's comment about The Cain Saga. It improves massively after that shaky first volume. ^^ I'm actually in the middle of reading the whole series, and it's so, so good. I hope you enjoy it!
