... was on Sunday evening. Had to fly up to Chicago for the second time1 this month for a client, and blogging about anime has been really difficult to pull off2. Still watching and buying though. I heard from my girlfriend that my order from Robert's came in yesterday, which included Slayers Try, all of Tweeny Witches, and My Beautiful Girl Mari. I'll try to get back to blogging form when3 work lets up. Friday is the day of return.

1. 1. I only had 3 days notice for this flight...
2. 2. After dealing with computers for 12 hours for work, the last thing I really want to do when getting home was get on the computer again. Something had to give, and anime blogging doesn't seem to pay the bills...
3. 3. if?

Just a quick update:

I'm still around. Was out on vacation from Oct 11 to 15 and have been swamped at work on coming back. Haven't been watching much anime recently, but I'd like to get a post on what I've watched since my last update. I did complete my Crest of the Stars novels and picked up the first volume of the Dirty Pair novel.

If anybody noticed that I've been missing from here for a while, well, it's been hectic for a few weeks.

Some time yesterday, I had hit the 5000 visitor mark. Now, that would be humbling in itself, but when I started this weblogging thing in October 2006, I never thought I would be linked to and quoted on blogs and forums of several different languages. Not that I'd be able to read what they're saying; I have a hard enough time with English...

Truthfully, I'm more amazed that people are actually reading what I write...

I have the following purchases inbound to me:

• Revolutionary Girl Utena - The Rose Collection/The Movie Boxed Set (Anime)
• Berserk, Vol. 1 (Manga)
• Seikai: Crest of the Stars 2: A Modest War (Seikai Trilogy) (Novel)
• Steamboy/Memories (Anime)

I have the following on pre-order:

• The Twelve Kingdoms 1 (Novel)
• Kino No Tabi 2: Book Two of the Beautiful World (Novel)

I also have Full Moon Volumes 2-4 DVDs waiting to ship with Kino No Tabi.

I caught the flu sometime this week, so I'm out with a 103.5^oF fever. I had watched the rest of Pride (episodes 9 to 11) on the couch while wrapped up in a blanket and long-sleeves.  read more »
