As to my Amazon.ca shipment, it included Evolution's Rainbow by Joan Roughgarden, Man's Best Friend and Wild Rock by Kazusa Takashimo (can't wait to read those! *^^*), and Academy Award Winner The Motorcycle Diaries DVD *drools over Gael Bernal Garcia ( Read more... )

My time before work this afternoon proved a little more productive than usual, with a trip to the Japan Foundation to soak in the Shojo Manga exhibit and obtain some information for an upcoming project, as well a stop by the Post Office where the girl who now affectionately calls me "honey" found my Amazon.ca shipment despite the computer saying ( Read more... )

Suprise suprise, I was actually able to setup the HP PSC 1510 all-in-one printer I purchased this evening from Best Buy and connect it to my Airport Express Base Station to enable me to print documents via wifi from the comfort of my living room couch! *feels accomplished* Might as well bring my receipt back on Tuesday to purchase the additional ( Read more... )

Chanel's f/w 2006 ready-to-wear collection is gorgeous *drools*

I just purchased a combination of twenty five anime DVDs and soundtracks for a measly $100 USD including shipping to Canada as part of Rightstuf.com's "Geneon Bountiful Bargains" promotion. Let's just hope they arrive on order from the manufacturer before this century is up o_o

...the Pokemon Emerald Version GameBoy Advance cartridge I purchased from an Ebay Seller? A pirated copy :( I've opened a Paypal dispute and the seller has offered a refund, but there's no way in hell I'll be sending the cartrige back before the funds are returned to my account. If he demands otherwise, I might as well kiss $25 of the $26.01 I ( Read more... )

Hmmm... I think Cesar and I may pass on this year's CNAnime Expo. $40 is a little expensive for the two of us just to have access to the dealer's hall in the hopes of finding a few good deals that I could otherwise scout for on garagesalejapan. In any case, I won't know if I'm working on the Sunday of the convention weekend until the Wednesday night/Thursday ( Read more... )
