Rant over, lets find good news.

[meganbmoore]

The good news(workwise) is that I have 100s on virtually every QA that I get(QAs being when someone listens in on your calls and grades your performance) and I'm fairly certain that they were listening in on me a good bit this week because most of the time, the reception over the line is a little bit off(in the form of an echo or a slightly mechanical tone in the voices, especially if they recorded it) so they most likely listened to a few door to door calls this week. Who knows.

School books only cost me around $100. However, part of that is because I had to drop a class. ::sad face:: Only nine classes left to take, but no way I'll graduate next fall and still work 40 hours a week. So that part sucks, but theoretically, it'll help me save money(by paying less on tuition) to move out(hopefully next summer)

Waldenbooks is having another "buy 4 get fifth free" sale ::tries to control herself, but knows she's already failed at that::

I finally got the paperback edition of Kristen Britain's "First Rider's call" 600 pages...about halfway through it now.

Random commentary:

CERES CELESTIAL LEGEND v8/Fushigi Yugi v9: Sigh. The 2 Yu Watase books I read this week and both were a touch depressing. And Alice 19th is a touch dark at the moment and I looked at 10-11 of FY and it didn't look like things were going back to chipper anytime soon...

Dream Saga v1: Bought it on a whim. Much better than I'd expected. Quite cute.

Gadirok v1/KABUTO GN (2001) #1: These both started out mid storyline or something and I only half know what happened in them.

Legend of Chun Hyang: Ironically, this is likely the best thing I've read by Clamp...and yet, it still disappoints. This is advertised as a one shot GN, but it's actually 2(large) installments of what was obviously meant to be an ongoing thing, plus a backup story about the main character as a kid, that was cancelled for whatever reason. And I was really, really enjoying it, too...

Les Bijoux v 4: This was dark. And weird. Ok, so the whole series has been dark and weird, but this was darker and weirder. But still very interesting.

New Gods(1996) #1-5: Off to a better start than Evanier's series, but still a touch off.

SANDMAN: WORLD'S END (VOL. 8): Seems like a follow up to Fables & Reflections. Good, but there'sno comparison between the 2 books.
