Yaya? Who's that, I'm Nana!

azuriteDammit, I've fallen for a new manga. It's called "Othello," but don't be fooled-- it's about a too-submissive girl who has so-called friends that treat her poorly. As a result, she has another "self" that comes out-- Nana, the take-no-prisoners, kick-ass, justice-dealing Loli cosplayer. You can see why I like this, yes? It's got elements of Peach Girl, any shoujo-heroine manga, and countless others-- all in one manga! Plus there's the hot hero who is clueless! I'll have to grab it on my next Borders run. Also the following:
* Hot Gimmick 4 (Blue, Shinogu)
* xxxHolic 2 and 3
* Tsubasa 2
* Sensual Phrase
* And probably some others I'm forgetting... but I'm wondering Tokyopop, what is up with you, these days? Is X-Day ever going to be finished? Are you ever going to number Peach Girl correctly? Is that CLAMP title "Legend of Chou Hyang" (I probably butchered that) also a one-shot?
Anyway, in other happy purchase news, I went to WaMu today and set up an account... the woman who helped me, Farrah, was very nice, prompt, and clear. I actually got PAPERWORK in return, which was a first! I withdrew $100 and headed to DSW-- lo and behold, my boots...?!
No, not my boots. Same location, same brand, same style even, but they'd changed sizes. -_o HRM! So I did something very sneaky and bad and switched it with the full-price ones up front. That is, I switched the clearance (30% off) 55.00 ones for the $79.90 ones. I switched the green clearance tags on the bottom of the boot and side of the box, but the bar code on the side of the box was too sticky to move. But the cashier didn't check, and I scored! Tommy Hilfiger knee-high black leather boots, size 6-- only $55! ^_^
I also snagged those Diba lace-up purple sandals to go with my Emmy costume (gold and purple accent each other well!)- but the heels are pretty tottery, and I need hose and possibly some "sock glue" to hold them up come Halloween.
I've figured out why I've missed all my old "usual" WB shows-- since my initiation into cable-land, I've been watching shows like Stargate SG-1 on Mondays for hours, and Proof Positive and Ghost Hunters on Wednesdays. *grin* If I stay up late enough, I catch whatever's on Cartoon Network, which ranges from anime (Inuyasha, Wolf's Rain) to the random and bizarre (Futurama, Family Guy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force). And you know what? I can't bring myself to care anymore. They supposedly killed off Chloe, my favorite character, separated Lana and Clark, broke off Lex and Clark WAAAY too soon, and also introduced Lois (admittedly, an interesting plot element) WAAAAAY too soon. So... I'm just not interested. But what about Alias!?!?!? It's not coming back until January. ;_;
SHOUJO FANS, ATTENTION! I want you to go here, read the article, and tell me what you think. Agree, disagree? I'd like to write a contrasting/disagree article to send after the fact, but I'd like some supporting testimony from YOU first!
And now, if the shoujo fans are still reading, anyone wanna point me toward some good Hot Gimmick fanfiction? Because if I can't find any, I'll start writing, and if I start writing, I might get out of YGO. ;_;
Anyway, I'm getting a bit tired, but if I go to sleep now, I'll wake up early enough to have a good breakfast and do some studying for math. This weekend I *have* to get working on my Chapter 5 math assignments and notes, and most definitely work on my CAD drawings. *yawn* But I'm so tired...
Final note? I did get to see Grace, which ended up being the highlight of my day. I met her at Borders and we mall-trolled for a while. Had dinner and a Cinnabon with her too, and parted ways just after 7:45 or so, and I came home in time for TV and some cute TMs from Scott. Today's a good day, I guess...
I'm pretty tired.
