I need money really bad.

Topic number two: Lucky Star is awesome. I've already got "Motteke! Seerafuku!" stuck in my head. It's kind of like Ichigo Mashimaro, but far less pedo, much more stylized, and with a lot more Aya Hirano, which is always good in my book. Now all they need is a guest appearance by Tsuruya-san and I'm in heaven.

Actually, all I need is season two of Haruhi and I'm in heaven. But that's an inevitability for another day.

Topic number three: I suspected it, but could never believe that it would actually happen. Koizumi's album is a mess of bishonen audio, but Kyon's album is actually quite good- his acoustic rendition of Hare Hare Yukai is really nice, and Kentai Life Returns is hilarious.

Looking through that list, I come to the terrifying realization that I don't have all of the albums. Curse you, hard drive limitations!

Topic number four: I've finally gotten back to working out on a daily basis. Can't believe I forgot how good it feels. And it's always nice to impress people by going for a bike ride for a half hour, mowing the lawn right after coming back, and then heading inside to immediately knock out a workout routine. This is all entirely necessary for my plans, of course...

I apologize for what must seem an... arbitrary imposition. I promise this will all make sense in... well... I'm really not at liberty to say.

Damn, now that I've started with the G-Man quotes it'll be really difficult to stop.

Anyway. Tomorrow I'm not going to school for some rather meaningful reasons (little brother's birthday, mother leaving for a while), but we all know the real reason: I'm going to see Spider-Man 3 before the major crowds, though I'm not stupid enough to believe I'm the only person who will do such a thing. Here's hoping for the best.

Title stolen from Concerned . If you haven't read it yet, do it now.

Part of the trouble with liking manga and anime is that it's awfully difficult to not purchase lots of manga and anime. This is even more troublesome when your birthday is coming up, yet that voice in the back of your head that usually leads you astray- you know, the one that said it would be perfectly fine to just see what the inside of the girls' locker room looks like?- tells you to go ahead and buy what you want, as there's little to no proof that anyone will actually get what you want anyway.

This was a bit easier for me to deal with, as I didn't put Megatokyo or GTO on my birthday list. Actually, I don't think I made a birthday list.

Hold on a second, let me fix that.

...

Alright, done. 

Anyways. I was informed that, after being sick for a few days, it would probably be a good idea to go outside and get some fresh air. I scoffed at this suggestion; leaving the comfort of my bedroom is what got me sick in the first place! Leaving the fortress would leave me vulnerable to the f0rc3z of 3vil!!! 

My relative- a man who society has deemed worthy of the title "father"- informed me that he would be waiting for me outside.

I got dressed and went with him for a walk, but I was doing things my way. Not his.

First off, I set out for Barnes & Noble, a plan already in place.

Second, I spoke entirely in lines spoken by Kyon.

When we reached the aforementioned store, I brought this man along with me. I would require his assistance to complete my task.

As previously ordered, he followed me to the manga shelves, where I grabbed all of the Megatokyo books and all of the GTO issues that I didn't already own.

Oh, did he suffer.

"Are you sure you want these?" he asked, with a look akin to that of a man awaiting his death sentence.

"Are you sure it was a good idea to take a walk?" I replied.

Needless to say, I've been doing a good chunk of reading since then. While I've already read all of Megatokyo on the website, it was so truly wonderful that I believed Mr. Gallagher deserved money for his efforts. I have read the entirety of the books (which, unfortunately, doesn't consist of all of what's on the website... volume 5, you shall be mine one day), and I'm finally going back to GTO again. I get the feeling Eikichi will still be a virgin once it's over, but that's just a guess.

Haven't played any video games since my last blog post. Having too much fun reading and writing. The last time I did play, though, I experienced the wonder of God of War II's ending.

Not bad, Sony. Not bad at all. 

PS: Ping's so cute, ain't she?
