My voice is hoarse from too much CAPS LOCK.

Today was made of SO MUCH WIN that I will have to title parts and maybe abuse the bold function.

1. Last day of work before Christmas break.
Sure, it is only a two day break but I am so excited that it's a big holiday. Work was fine. My customer service skills shone through~ Awesome.

2. Some angel ripped AnCafe's Hibiya on the O New Sekai concert

How much do VK magazines cost where you live? Do you buy them online or are there Japanese stores? O_O I mean I have about as many Japanese magazines as you do but I know for a fact that I haven't spent anywhere close to $300 on them.

I buy them from different sources. If you buy them new at our local Japanese bookstore, they mark the price like three times more than how much it is in Japan. I bought a few in Taiwan and they are just slightly cheaper than the ones here because of the currency exchange rate. I also buy them from yesasia.com because even when shipped, it is cheaper than buying it in stores. I try to buy mine second hand from fellow LJers (but resale price for these things are still really high). But I remember spending over $50 on a GLB and a Cure together.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. Holy crap. I think you need to move to New York. I've never spent more than $8 on Cure...or any other Japanese magazine, for that matter. I also buy old and used magazines at Book Off for maybe 2 or 3 dollars. The most expensive magazines are Kera Maniax, GL Bible, and special volumes of Cure & Shoxx and they're usually maybe in the $16-$20 range.

I bought a Cure for $8 because it was second hand and because the girl reaaallly wanted to get rid of it! I WAS SUCH A STEAL. That was the cheapest magazine I ever bought. Most magazines I bought for $20 give or take (special volums are closer to $25+), with GLB at just a over $30. A Book Off JUST opened this year downtown and you have to be soooo lucky to find a Cure or SHOXX or Neo Genesis there. The fangirls here guard the place like hawks and I've yet to see one there in the whole store. And I check it out often because I work close to it, too.
