Of Swords and Parasols

I am reminded of why I don't do laundry on Sundays...people leave their laundry in the washer while they're in the pool, and it sits there for forever, tying up the machines.  Sadly, this was the last clean shirt this morning when I went to the closet, so it was necessary.

2 down on the Negima icons...dunno how many it'll be in the end.

Between Amazon's "Big DVD Sale"(which evilly did not include Poirot DVDs) Walenbooks "4 for 3" manga sale and Hastings's recent intake of secondhand manga, all progress on backlogs save novels has been fully reversed(and that hasn't recovered yet from a few weeks ago)

The influx of manga, however, made me realize that books that came out during a school crunch were put away on the bookshelf and forghotten...books that normally wouldn't rest there long(anyone really think I'd intentionally leave "Death Note" "Hikaru No Go" "Inu Yasha" or "Fruits Basket" languishing for 2 months?)

Because I have nothing better to do(well, that I have the energy or motivation for) and the current work situation results in plenty of reading time(along with frustration with the general situation and a certain coworker's primadonna hissyfits)




Currently Reading:  "The Wizard of London" by Mercedes Lackey(wait...I thought I was trying to ease off the fantasy novels for a bit...)
Currently Watching:  "Desperate Housewives: Season 1"(which I suspect I'm enjoying far too much)
