SHORT LIST OF MY (inexpensive) LOOTS BEFORE I DIVE INTO THE REAL ABYSS OF TAIWAN:
-Bakugan Battle Brawlers Taiwanese DVD boxsets 1 and 2 (all eps, PURELY FOR THE JAPANESE AUDIO and it was relatively cheap. I'll figure out if I want to make rips of it available or whatnot later. ANYONE EVEN INTERESTED? or am I a total lost case for kids shows as long as they have seiyuu I'm interested in lawl)
-2 Honey & Clover clearfiles (there were a lot of other really good ones from other series but I'd only end up re-selling them and have no use for them otherwise... XD)
-Newtype Nov 08, Dec 08, Feb 09
-Animedia Jan 09, Feb 09, May 09, July 09
-Seiyuu Grandpri May 09 (Mmmmmmmm Kamiyan poster...!!! XD And can someone shoot me for thinking Namikawa Daisuke looks like a frog or reptile in a cute/odd way)
-DOLLS manga volume 7 special edition (uwaaa I have to admit I'm so behind in manga in general, I've barely read this!!!! But special edition, wanted to get it while I could XDDD Even though I can't get the drama CD that getting this volume is part of...... Suzuken, Mamo, Tachibana and Sugitan... XDDDD ackkk I want to hear it, does someone have it?)

Heavy (but nice and cheap) magazines are heavy. Must watch out for packing limits...
I tried to find the latest 07-Ghost manga, but couldn't find any of the series at all. Or even Zero-Sum magazines. of course >_>;
Anyway... also saw lots of Kuroshitsuji. One store even played the opening music to Kuroshitsuji while I was there. And lots of so-so looking BL novels/manga. Was almost tempted to pick out something on a whim just to explore it (the only actual BL manga I have is G-Senjou no Neko, and then the Lamento/Messiah artbooks), but all the titles really did look sooooooo... so-so ._. I DID see the Seven Days book, but it was in Chinese. orz

These short few days with my sister and relatives were awesome. I'll up pics when I feel like it? Of all things, I've been getting inspiration to write the Cycle sequel lately, so I wouldn't count on it. XDDD 夜は祭りだから…頭の中で。実際はもう眠いから寝る。

Slowly uploading old (and some NEW old...?!?!) Digimon Savers Thought pics on my devart account as I get the time too ^^;

I made my Kikuchi Masami troll icon~ \o/

Some more Digimon card scans up @ digimon_savers~ Last release for another month at ryuu_rogue too~

Mm, had my last work weekend at Meijer before I'll be in Taiwan for all of July.~ Back in August and then it's grad school at the MPA program @ WMU~
After over a year of having low-paying jobs, this'll be a good change of pace, I hope. Hmmmm I'd love to get a paid internship. =w=;;

LINA WHY YOU DO THIS... XD
She was sleeping on the suitcase next to my backpack for a few weeks (look at all that fur she shed ahhaha... it was hot), and I wasn't planning on using that suitcase for Taiwan anyway. But I can't go without the backpack... today she decides to sleep on it. I leave tomorrow wut's she doingggg

I also find it really cute when she does this, and I found Lucy sleeping in an interesting place the other day, also during the hot weather. I was almost afraid she went there to pass away or something >_>; She hates eating dry food now, so we've been getting her canned food, which I think has been helping her regain some weight...

Oooooooooooookay, so that 1000 yen auction I won came out to total $103.25 after shipping and fees .............
People who said they wanted to buy a Drive pleeeease buy them T___T;
Other than that, it's soooo nice to hold Yakumo's Drive. :)

Never thought I could max out 198 icons, but I did. I gave in and made a colored icon from a doujin. I haven't made doujin icons in forever~ I COULDN'T RESIST...

BECAUSE KOGENTA'S CUTEST OUTFIT WAS WHEN HE WAS WITH THE OLD GUY MONJU WOoooooo.

Looks really bad with my dull green layout, but eh XD

[digimon]
Wizzywig is selling Toei-licensed Digimon Data Squad shirts~~~ (why is the Lalamon one more expensive? O.o)
I want to get the Gaomon one, although I don't want to pay the shipping for it... xDDD;;; Maybe I can stop by the actual store sometime later this year... or maybe hopefully at Youmacon!!! I really want to go this year (or I might just save up for a possible Otakon next year since I'm pretty bummed I can't go this year with all the Digimon cosplay!!).

Working on a matsuri pic, probably for the contest in the DA club and also duo-function as a complementary piece for the Cycle sequel... which has not had much progress except that I dumped the DATS mission for a different idea~ Hoping I can finish the art piece before I leave next week! The sequel itself... errrrrr.

I have to admit, I've been playing a lot of Tales of Rebirth (PSP port) lately. The reviews are right on D8. I haven't played any of the non-handheld Tales games yet but this one's been my favorite (to play) as of yet. The things I do have to complain about this, as well as all of the Tales games I've played in general, is backtracking to old cities over and over and over and over again alllllll the time for a singleconversationeventit'sannoying AND THERE'S NO ESCAPE ROPE THINGAMER to quickly get out of long dungeons. Yeah.

Anyway, I also really like this game for having lots of Digimon seiyuu (WarGreymon, Vajramon, Chuumon, Ken, Jyou/Grani/Neemon/Kurata/toomanyDigimonroles, Sora, Rhythm, yes lots of random connections... XD There are even more). And the best moments for me so far were when Veigue Saves Claire and SHAORUNE...... cute Paku Romi with FLAMMIE ABILITIES <3 ~ omg, every good fantasy RPG requires a Flammie. <3 ~

oh yeah, and Kikuchi Masami plays a hot troll. Well, troll in the mental sense. I want to make an icon out of him with the successful troll is successful... one without a typo that makes it kind of... not successful. I mean he seriously trolled to the bitter end. Successful troll.

Got this one off someone's sig on Devart... XD

Don't mind the excessive emotes, just having fun (｡◕‿‿◕｡)
Ahaha, I asked yesasia's customer service if they would put the x-evo soundtrack in stock and they did XD~~~ w00t, now I get free shipping and Gintama chibi figure to go with it xD; $45.50, beats the $50 with the cheapest shipping from CDJapan, plus Gintamaaaaa omake (￣▽￣)

Digimon 10th Anniversary Maxi single
Digital Monster X-Evolution Original Soundtrack
FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING FTW

I am however still counting on CDJapan for the Digimon Series Memorial Book Digimon Animation Chronicle.

And ShoppingMallJapan has shipped the auction at the top of the sales post (calling it the Onmyou Taisenki auction because that's the best part of it ⌒◇⌒), but I've yet to find out the total for the (killer) price of shipping and fees. Because of the weight and SIZE especially, I won't be surprised if it gets above $50 just for shipping/fees. ಠ_ಠ Serious Drive buyers better be serious. ಠ_ಠ

Baw, I should start packing for Taiwan. But Lina loves my lap... ⓜⓔⓞⓦ

[anime]
I finished Tales of the Abyss anime a short while back. ABOUT TIEM. Don't have a PS2 (want a modded one some day for sure), but I have access to Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 to play around with their characters in-game, and it's still funfunfunfun and Luke is such an uke in it orz

I'm thinking of marathoning the rest of Soul Eater on the way to Taiwan (12 eps to go) and I have tidbits of other stuff to catch up with as well. Basara, Higashi no Eden, Tears to Tiara... mal.net list is useful (and some lamer decided to troll disapprove most of our releases at ryuu_rogue (╬ ಠ益ಠ)).
Gintama and Chi's Sweet Home are totally the only two things I really keep up with lately. ㄟ㋛ㄏ

[gaming]
Also finishing up Gyakuten Kenji (EDGEWORTH~~~~) and probably moving onto the random RPGs I mentioned earlier. Or maybe back to Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, but I don't actually find it all that fun for some reason ._.;
