Doing My Part for the Economy

Got quite a few new acquisitions in the past week. First of all, what my girlfriend got me for my birthday1:

I've always felt that Who Framed Roger Rabbit was one of the most amazing films to come out of an American studio. The book was one I've been looking forward to read for some time now.

Then I had the following come in from Robert's Anime Corner Store:

I've talked about Sword of the Stranger before and I've enjoyed it in the theater2; it ended up being my first Blu-ray purchase for myself (My first ever Blu-rays were the Japanese BDs of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and The Place Promised in Our Early Days that Astro gave me. I still need to return the favor somehow!). Continued collecting the excellent Moribito anime series, the Monster manga, and the Berserk manga; And I also completed my Tweeny Witches collection with the OVA3. Looks like I won't be able to buy much for myself for a while now.

• 1. Not young anymore at 30... Yet I'm still watching cartoons.
• 2. Despite the theater or projector issues
• 3. I still haven't even watched the OVA after finishing the series. Am anticipating doing so with the girlfriend soon.
