Comic con lootz

Sunday, June 6th, 2010 at 5:43 pm
Batgirl – Ame comi

$60 – Yikes…this was pricey but pretty damn worth it. This Batgirl is fracking awesome.

Illidan

$30 – Great price for this epic toy. The detail on Illidan is crazy high, higher than any toy I have…

Wonder Girl: Donny Troy

$30 – This wasn’t on my list…but I had considered getting it a couple of years ago. When I opened the package at the store, I was disappointed in it and decided not to get it. After buying this, I feel the same way. It’s nice, the image on the box is nice, but the actual item isn’t as great I thought it’d be. Ah well….

Batgirl – Marcus To

$20 – Great sketch

+ $25 – 2 TPBs: All-Star Superman Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 – The best Superman stories I’ve ever read
+ $25 – Francis Manapul Sketchbook
+ $30 – 4 prints from Marcio Takara
+ $20 – admission
————————————————
= $240 in 6 hours

Comic Con tomorrow and my TO BUY list

Friday, June 4th, 2010 at 10:49 pm

Going to a comic con tomorrow…only $10 admission instead of Anime North’s insane $40. I’m going to wait on my Hikaru no Go and Prince of Tennis mangas…tomorrow’s all about models.

My TO BUY list is going to be located here:

I’m ready for more manga!

Sunday, May 16th, 2010 at 9:41 pm

I purchased an IKEA Kilby bookcase this weekend to story my manga…I realized I had run out of space for my manga…and even if I wanted to collect a new series, Prince of Tennis or Hikaru no Go…I would have no room. With this shelf, I can now go crazy with another series :D It’s a bit…ironic that the shelf looks really empty right now…and I want a full shelf. But if I had a full shelf, I wouldn’t be able to store any more manga…and would have to buy another shelf, that wouldn’t be full. I think it’s just the OCD in me, feeling this shelf has too much space (and it does). But it won’t forever.

Mangas currently on the shelf:

Dragon Ball Z (Chinese) – Vol 33-42
Dragon Ball Z (English) – Vol 1-26 – Complete Series – Collector’s Box Set Edition
Neon Genesis Evangelion – Vol 1-11 – Currently up to date
Get Backers – Vol 1-25 – Complete Series
Get Backers: Infinity Fortress – Vol 1-2 – Currently up to date
Naruto – Vol 1-27 – Complete Series – Collector’s Box Set Edition

And Zena’s manga…which I have no details on:
Kare Kano
Mars
Peach Girl
Cardcaptor Sakura

Whoa. I just realized that Hikaru no Go isn’t a crazy long manga like I thought…it’s only about 25~ volumes. When I randomly picked up volume 12 or something, it looked like the scene I was reading was from episode 13 or something…maybe it was a flashback. Hikaru no Go is 20 issues so far…Prince of Tennis is 36 so far…Slam Dunk! is 11…
I think I shall collect them…ALL MWHAHAHAHahahah! Actually, just Hikaru no Go and Prince of Tennis for now…Slam Dunk! can wait…

I’m pretty excited for AnimeNorth (2 weeks!). I didn’t have that much I was gonna buy before…but things have changed! It’s gonna be one crazy ass expensive weekend.

Site Updates…sorta

Saturday, May 8th, 2010 at 12:39 pm

I realized I had completely misused the “Categories” section and used it like tags/labels…and didn’t use tags at all. I’ve gone through all my posts -_-; and rectified the issue. Ew. Rectified is an ugly word. The meaning is nice but it sounds like rectum. That’s an ugly ass word. Pun intended *ba dum dum ching* ….this is you -_-;

I like my categories a lot more now, they make a lot more sense. I’ve also included a new category, EPIC RANTS…these are my favorite posts, the ones I’ve had lingering in my head for years…the ones that always had a beginning, middle, and end, even a few years ago. They’re supposed to make you think differently about something…Sadly, I thought I had more of them…like, 10. Not 5 :( I’m disappointed…

The site progress has been going well, the only section not completed right now is Portfolio….that will take some time, I’m still trying to figure out how I want to do the layout. I’m realizing how difficult some of these pages are if I change the layout to my Naruto layout (effectively making the main space about 1/5 smaller in width, thus messing with my design). BTW. My Naruto layout has NOT been started…it’s really hard :( this one is way more artsy than my others….and it’s difficult getting the right feel for Naruto…there’s no site out there that’s designed in a Naruto-ish way…the way I want to design my site. If you have any, let me know so I can steal borrow some ideas.

Also: Regarding my last post: I have absolutely no room in my condo for another Manga series. What was I thinking. Though I did decide to get Prince of Tennis if I start another one…yes, that shall be my next series. I will probably start getting it…and figure out the space thing after. I’m sure it’ll work out. O_o
And I plan to read School Rumble and 20th Century Boys in the near future. *goes and puts that on his “To Read” list*. I’ll probably save 20th Century Boys for when I feel like something dark again.

I also got my Kirby pillow in the mail this week :) Sleeping with a star pillow is kinda awkward tho…its corners are always in my face. I forgive Kirby tho cuz he’s so cute!

Stuffed Toilet Roll….wait what?!

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010 at 8:18 pm

Seriously, I have nothing to write about. But I wanted to post something since I haven’t actually tried wordpress out on a REAL new post. I’m resistant to use the interface…blogger was just so simple.

Anyways…a few months ago, Zena and I went to a One of a kind show. Here, they sell things that are….unique, not mass produced, etc. I remember spending like, $200 on food and items…I really have to resist going to shows and cons. I go in with no expectation to spend any money. And then I go overboard. I went to Cobs with Zena once….and spent over $30 in bread and pastries….which I finished within a day. No self control. For serious.

Getting a bit sidetracked…at this one of a kind show, I got that…pad of paper that’s moldable. I got this hat with bunny ears that my co-workers have seen. And I bought this (below). It looks like a toilet roll….but it’s got a cute happy face on it. When I saw it, I lol’d, I thought it was hilarious! It cost over $20. Zena thought it was too expensive for what it was. She was probably right. But again…no self control, especially when it comes to money. I’ll spend whatever if it makes me happy.

Isn’t this thing so cute and hilarious! I’m very tempted to put it on our toilet roll if guests were to come over. As a practical joke, they’d do their business and then…WTF! but I’m a little resistant cuz I don’t want their dirty hands touching my cute little stuffed toilet roll….so I doubt I’d ever do it. The thought of it is amusing tho…
