    This weekend was really pretty good.  I’d found out that I’d won a Tokyopop manga contest, and received the package for it, which had six volumes of free manga.  Can’t beat that!  However, I’ll be reading all except one of them AFTER I read the giant stack I bought last weekend.  While I’m on last weekend: DAMN.  So far, I’ve been drawn in by every first volume that I’ve read, which is sad news for my wallet.  Fortunately for me, the next volumes are not out, so I’ll just have to be patient.  I can do that, and besides I have plenty to read still.

    My roommate is going to be teaching in China for two years.  The way that this affects me personally is that I technically live in HER house.  So we need to find someone else to come live here and help me pay bills, because I unfortunately can’t afford to pay them all on my own, otherwise I would.  We’re hoping to find someone soon though, and have that figured out at least.

    How will this affect Araknamedia?  It probably won’t, honestly.  I don’t keep a regular schedule anyway, and one to two posts a week for me seem pretty comfortable.  However, in case I don’t post for a while, that’s probably why.

    I’ve been amused to watch the votes trickle in on my review poll.  I’m counting Soul Eater as a shounen action review, so looks like I should review something of CLAMP soon.  I don’t really have anything “new” there, so I’ll probably just pull out something old and write up my opinions on it.  I’m thinking I’ll probably re-read the Legend of Chun Hyang.  Have a suggestion? Let me know in the comments.  If it’s fairly easy to access, that’s what I’ll review.  It has to be CLAMP though.

    1. I hope you find a new roommate soon.
      It looks like I’m the only one that voted for slice of life :(

    2. Good luck finding a roomie.
      & I’ll admit.
      I voted for you to review yaoi. c :
      But as far as what to review CLAMP wise – you should review ‘Clover’.

    3. Yeah I was thinking Clover’d be a good one to review, plus that gives me an excuse to buy the new collected edition, not that I really needed an excuse. Heh.

      I’ll also do a yaoi review sometime. I think I have a good one picked out for that already.

    4. Yep, I’m working on it! I like where I live, so I’d hate to move…

      Since you did vote for slice of life, I will review a slice of life title sometime, just gotta think of a good one to read/watch. I aim to please!

    5. You never need an excuse for something like that. But now you’ve got one, for just in case.

      So long as it’s not Junjou Romantica then that’s fine & good with me. c :
