And once again it's been far too long since my last update. I think I'm mostly done with my expert KH game now - after taking that pic, I played for some 4 hours, killing Defenders nonstop until I -finally- got a Defender shield. (I swear, that's the hardest weapon to obtain in the entire game - I even got two Wizard's Relics in the process of trying to get the Defender shield!) I leveled up some 8 levels in the process too, leaving me 8 levels shy of 100. I still have a Jump Arts to obtain (I've never actually managed this feat) and I would like to build Sora's stats a bit more - for some reason, I got a 3rd Combo Plus in this game, which I never obtained in the Normal game o.O

Anyways, today was a remarkably slow day at work - about two customers per hour - so I was able to step out to Waldenbooks in the middle. I ended up walking away with CCS 7-8 (the first two of the "Master of the Clow" books), KareKano 1, and Wish 2-3. Was going to pick up Mars 1, but it was too beat up, and they didn't have Wish 1. Also, I found out later that CCS 7 is missing an extra insert that CCS 8 had, so I will probably visit tomorrow and see if I can exchange it. And it wasn't even supposed to be limited. This little bit of chat from #animedvd (International-House = Mariela Ortiz aka Sapphire) sums it up...

[02:01] <StarCreator> there's a sakura card in my ccs8
[02:01] <StarCreator> but not my ccs7
[02:01] <International-House> ummm
[02:01] <Praseo> umm i take it these are not the TP versions
[02:01] <carpboy> that just sounds like someone stole it
[02:01] <carpboy> it's not like it's attached
[02:01] <International-House> that isn't supposed to be the case
[02:01] <International-House> it isn't supposed to be LE
[02:01] <International-House> its supposed to be standard
[02:01] <International-House> someone took it
[02:01] <StarCreator> in any case, my ccs7 doesn't have one
[02:01] <StarCreator> and the printing that says it exists is missing from teh back
[02:01] <StarCreator> it was made without it
[02:02] <International-House> well then
[02:02] <International-House> TP is a bunch of lying sons of bitches of course
[02:02] * International-House smiles

Yep. Went -way- over-budget with these manga purchases. Money's going to be pretty tight for a while to come. Fun day indeed.

Be For U - Graduation is a great song, one of the best I've ever heard from the group. ^^
