Hello, Mr. European

[snapdragon76]

Well, I've survived my first full week of work. And I'm not as cranky this time around. I think it was due to the fact I was wearing more comfortable shoes.

I was able to visit with my dad this weekend. It was very nice. We went to the bookstore. I was actually able to contain myself and only get 4 books. Three were CSI novels and the fourth one was a mini-book in the Princess Diaries series. I didn't get any manga this time, though (I got Victorian Romance Emma the day before however). I still couldn't find issue 4 of the Legacy comics. I'm getting a bit perturbed.

Afterwards, we had lunch at the Chinese buffet I like. Dad was able to get some of his raw oysters that he likes. I was successful in the fact that I didn't lose what I had just eaten while he sucked them down. Blech!

When we got home, dad showed us his pictures Germany. It's a beautiful country. I hope to go someday.

In regards to Victorian Romance Emma, it a very well done lovely series so far. The cover isn't the shiny smooth paper that is generally used. It feels rough and antiquey. The art is very very nicely done and meticulous. I think I shall definitely be keeping up with it, despite the fact that CMX is the one doing it.

And I just downloaded and "read" the latest chapter of Kaze Hikaru. *squish* Very cute. A few adorable Sei/Okita moments. Plus, I'm coasting on the high of some Vash/Meryl squish in the most recent chapter of TriMax. *dies of glee*

Trivia of the day: Cut-outs of a moon and a star were used in colonial times on outhouse doors to designate the gender of the intended user. Originally, the moon cut-out was for women and the star was for the men. But men's outhouses were usually such a mess that men preferred using the women's outhouses. So, eventually the use of stars were phased out.<--I've kinda wondered about that

yeah, I'm bad in bookstores too.

Thank you, but it was far too short...


Yeah, I can generally find something in a bookstore. My space is suffering for it.

I'm glad your first full week of work went well. Yay!

Oh, I've been wanting to read Emma for a while! I'm glad you've liked it so far; I'll do my best to look it up and start reading.

Could you, please, spoil me a little on the Meryl/Vash front?

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Yep, so far so good.

Oh, I hope you're able to find it! It's quite lovely!

*gasp* Are you a Vash/Meryl fan too! I knew there was even more reason to like you. Anyway, to make it easy for you, head on over to my community dedicated to them, vash_meryl for the scoop! It's squee-liscious!
