Hey weekend, come back! I'm not done with you yet!

Well, I once again have not done any homework yet this weekend. It seems that I just am incapable of doing homework except on Sunday nights.

Friday night Chris and I went shopping. I bought the 1st and 5th volumes of the Fushigi Yugi manga, some other random manga, a Babylon 5 script for Day of the Dead, and 2 books on amine and magna that actually might be useful for my thesis at Powells. Then we went to Toys R Us because I was looking for the D-Power, but they didn't have it so I just bought a huge bag of Dum-Dums and a huge bag of Nerds from their leftover Halloween candy. We went to Barnes and Noble looking for the 4th volume of Fushigi Yugi, but they only had the 2nd and 5th >.<. I'll have to poke around and see if I can track it down. I don't want to read the 5th one until I read the 4th one, assuming I can track it down somehow. I was lucky to find the first one used at Powells. I love the art in that series. If I had a scanner, a paid account and wasn't lazy (mostly the last one) I'd make a bunch of icons from it even though it's in black and white.

Yesterday, I went over to dad's house to do laundry, and I decided to clean out my car as well, since I'll be driving a bunch of people to the programming competition next weekend. It seems that my trunk got water in it somehow >.<. So now various parts of my trunk are airing out at dad's house and I am seriously annoyed. I think it's because they didn't put my spare tire back in properly last time I got a flat, and now water can get in my trunk that way. My tools didn't have too much rust on them though, so I think they'll be fine. I'm not sure about the rim of my spare tire, though. And of course a lot of the paper crap in my trunk is not in as good condition as it should be. Also, one of the layers between the spare time and the part of the trunk you put stuff in is made of pressed cardboard, and it is now all warped and waterlogged. Very not fun. So anyway, I spent all of yesterday trying to dry out my trunk. >.<. Then Chris and I went to hear the Portland Baroque Orchestra. That pretty much ate the remaining time I had. We then came back to school, and I fell asleep while he played Civ II.

Today, I pretty much ate lunch, talked with Chris and Elizabeth, came back to my room, caught up on my friends page and wrote this. Now I am off to the library to pick up a book I probably don't have time to read.

I know what you mean :::sigh:::

Bleh, I have so much homework to do and found that I was waayy too good at procrastinating yesterday, as usual. :P That's great that you got the FY manga. ^_^ I actually only read the first 5 segments of it, then I got lazy and went on to other manga. ^_^ (That happens with me... I have to get really into a manga in order to continue reading it, and that one just didn't grab me, I don't know why...) If you're willing to order it online there are a lot of good places to get it from. ^_^ Here are some sits:
www.rightstuf.com www.animenation.com www.animecornerstore.com and a bunch of others, and if you want it in original Japanese there are places to get it, too. ^_^ (all of these places also accept credit cards so you don't have to worry about checks or money orders ^_^) What books on manga and anime did you get? I only know of a few out there and I don't especially like how they look, they tend to have come out quite a while ago so aren't very up-to-date. :P (But I prefer learning about anime and manga online, anyway ^_^)

I second your homework dilemma. I mean, one day Friday's all fresh and waiting for me to dig in, and now here I am, Sunday night just starting on a project. But I didn't procrastinate, I swear! Time just flew by and between soaking a notebook in tea and breaking out the calligraphy pens...

Eh. Never mind. :p Productivity just doesn't come to me on weekends.
