azurite: (oh shit)

What a weekend. :P So the Patriots won the SuperBowl, huh? I missed all the good commercials and the Lingerie Bowl, but then, that was only for Pay-Per-View anyway, so... o_O Whatever. Next time I stay at Vince's, I have to remember who snores (so I can sleep farther away from them), and remember to bring earplugs regardless. Seriously, I didn't get to sleep until after 7am... ;_;

Good thing I had today off. Saturday's party was cool-- saw almost everyone again! Lots of people I didn't know *coughcough*fobs*coughcough* were hogging the Initial D machine all night... not sure how they found out about the VIP club, but eh. There's really not all that much to do at RTA anymore, really. I mean... I can't say I've played every game, but then, the majority of the games were either out of order or broken in some way... or token payment. I did get $5 in tokens and racked up some more tix (OMG! I got 100 tix from the Bee game! WAAAAI!) for purchases later on... the VIP card should be worth its weight, if I get off early on Fridays.


Okay, so Del Ray (subsidiary of Random House) has gotten rights to XXXHolic and Resevoir Chronicle. Can we all say "WTF!?!" I mean, who has ever heard of Del Ray grabbing manga rights? Here's hoping they do a good job with them-- but I must say, I'm surprised. Tokyopop has the majority of CLAMP titles (Rayearth, Cardcaptor Sakura, Chobits, Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, Yuki-onna), while Viz has X/1999. And so Del Ray pops up out of nowhere and grabs the title that links 'em all together... WOW. Volume 1 will be out in May.

On a manga run the other day I snagged...
* Pretty Guardian Sailormoon Manga #4 (Jupiter) and #5 (Venus). We're already up to the Black Moon act, and done with the Inner Senshi! Who will be on Volume 6? I'm thinking Chibiusa. There's 12 olumes total, right? So...
(1) Moon
(2) Mercury
(3) Mars
(4) Jupiter
(5) Venus
(6) Chibimoon (?)
(7) Pluto
(8) Uranus
(9) Neptune
(10) Saturn
(11) ???
(12) ???

11 and 12 could be any of the following, or a combination thereof:
Galaxia, The Three Lights, Kakyuu-hime, Cosmos, Eternal Sailor Moon (The SM on cover 1 is the original SM), Tuxedo Kamen, Any of the royalties (Serenity, Endymion, etc). Or maybe someone new...???

As for other manga:

* Shounen Jump (latest issue) -- Yeah, I bought it just for Yu-Gi-Oh and it's really short, but I think I get what [livejournal.com profile] rhapsody_dragon was talking about with Seto not being evil. In his duel with Pharaoh Atem, his father (!?) Akunadin (who has since been possessed by Zork, as I recall) has forced Seto to kill Kisara (holder of the "White Dragon" seirei ka) and use her ka/seirei (the spirit power) to fight the pharaoh. But in the last minute, the Dragon disappears, Seto sees Kisara in a burst of light (she's nude! O_O Ohhohoh!) and... The blast goes towards Akunadin.

* Wild Act 4 -- The plot thickens! So finally Yuniko and Ryu "get together," but is it the biggest mistake they could have made-- now that they might be brother and sister!? o_O Personally I think the real Ryu is either going to be dead, or it's going to be Maki. o_O Well... *shrugs* I can't wait for the series to finish, I wanna make a site for it!

* Forbidden Dance 3 - Yeah, the art style still kinda pisses me off, but I like the story. Tokyopop did something stupid by changing the cover style, though. The title is now in a different font, with a dancer logo between the words, and it's embossed. The black-and-white on a color background is a nice touch, though. And this volume finally sees the "hookup" of Akira and Aya. Though, I still think that other guy from the beginning likes Aya more. :}

Finally, it looks like Kinokuniya will be getting Peach Girl 18 mid-February-- amazing, considering the release in Japan is at that same time! So, I assume it'll be selling like hotcakes. Anyone that wants to get a copy, it'll be $5.50 plus $1.85 Media Mail shipping. Contact me about sending money via money order or PayPal, and I can send you one! Same applies for any other volumes, or the Peach Girl Fan Book (NOT the artbook, the FAN BOOK!)


Not too long ago, I finished preliminary Photoshop work for WDKY's sequel, "Circle of Seven"-- banners and stuff. :) I can't put it up without totally giving away plot points, but it looks GREAT and I can't wait until I finish WDKY. Speaking of which, I ought to work on it now. But BEA's been giving me trouble (stupid "name" values) so I have to keep uploading and testing it... see if it works yet. Thankfully, the people on Codegrrl.com have been very helpful. I just have to make a few more buttons and banners (for BEA and Project: Blue Apricot) and then BEA will be up officially! :DDD

O_O HOLY IXIONS! The test worked out. :O I think... I think it's up! BEA IS UP BEA IS UP BEA IS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*runs around in mad little circles* OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

Uhm... got some DARK CRISIS cards. Not bad-- but I need more archfiends. :) I want a kick-ass occult deck... Bakura-sama... *dr00l* I think I'm actually going to make him a major player towards the end of WDKY, or if not that, WDKY. :D *smirk* You'll never guess how... Bwahahaa...

Oh yeah, and I just paid (er, maybe my Mom paid. PayPal confused me) for a year's FFnet account, so now I have an FFnet email, author alerts to ANYONE anytime I update, plus I can have a wicked cool Profile Picture... :DDDD This rocks! Only $25/year! :DDD And I support FFnet! o_O Which is bizarre, since I hate FFnet's lack of "pickiness," I guess it's called, but now I get an enhanced search so I can prune through fics more. :) Mwaha.

^__^ Yay! I saw your ff.net account! That's wicked awesome! ^__^ Yay! BEA is working! *cheers* I am so a member! Though my explanation that I worked so hard to come up with(Does 5 min count as hard?) was cut off! Though I think that's partially my fault...

Anyway...a WDKY sequel? O.O ... ^__________^ Though I think I'd like to see chapter 8 before a sequel... ^_~

AH...yeah now I remember! On my links thing on my journal main page, I put up a lil' advertising for BEA! Well...it links to the site and says I'm a fan... Ah, well, I guess I'll spread the word in the next ISE, which I have been shamefully neglecting...ugh, I need to get to work......

Ciao!
