isaacsapphireWell, hello world. I some how got the idea that the entire universe is dieing to know what I have to say on just about anything so I'm going to inflict my opinions on you. :) Or not.
I'm waiting for my summer job to start full time and until then I'm just staying up too late fiddling with scanlations on my computer and sleeping in too late and not doing much of anything. My mom keeps bugging me to clean my room and the bathroom and find the syllabi I need for transferring credits but I don't feel like moving much. Eh, I lack motivation.
And I'm pretty sure I've got a regularly scheduled fight with dad waiting for me when I go home tonight.
The only thing that's really caught my interest right now is Saiyuki. I'd read Executive Committee and Wild Adapter ages ago and I really liked them. This last semester I had a computer graphics course. (bear with me, it does connect) For that course we had to come up with a company that made a product (as opposed to a service) and the final project was the packaging for one of our products. I, of course, had a publishing company that licensed manga. So my final project was a book cover. I was going through my old CDs of scanlations looking for something I had a good enough picture of to be used for this and I came across Wild Adapter again. I ended up using it as my project. (The professor was very impressed with how nice the pictures were :) Thanks Bane Huntress!) So that means I was up to my elbows in Wild Adapter for several weeks. And I liked it even more at the end then I did at the beginning. So I remember about this manga I'd heard of called Saiyuki. I had downloaded the first volume of Gaiden back before it was licensed but never read it. So I dug it out and read it. And then I went online and bought the first five volumes at once. I don't normally like to buy stuff sight unseen but I was able to get all five for $25 counting shipping (well, actually a little less then that because the order also included Clamp Northside, which was only 75 cents!)
But yah, I'll blabber on about that next time maybe. See ya.
