Alright, so in order to not think about the past event, I journeyed to Target to pick up Naruto Shippuden Volume 3 on DVD. I wanted to try to avoid Amazon because I wanted to get the DVD before the Thanksgiving Holiday and without paying more than $10 for shipping and handeling. Unfortunately Target did not have it so I had to resort to ordering it from Amazon with one day shipping. This cost $30, but I fortunately had $73 in Promotional Credit and applied a small portion of that to cover the cost of shipping (I should have a lot of Amazon Credit because I traded in quite a few games to them (mainly ones that I beat or didnt like). I still have 60$ in credit remaining (enough to cover the cost of a PS3 game) but I do get 10$ more, $25 dollar (more from extras from VISA redeemable code).

In picture form this is what I received today.

BTW, it carries episodes 9-12. Naruto Shippuden Vol 4 comes out December 8, 2009 (preordered).

Hopefully, I can start Tag Force 4 later on tonight...Anyway, I dont think I will be picking up anything on Black Friday (more on that tomorrow).

Alright so Im back from my trip. It was quite packed with anime. First I was able to get through about nine episodes of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle on Blu-Ray (so about to episodes 11). I love this anime and love the music to it as well. It is fantastic and pumps me up. I love the characters too and how adament Syaoran is (Fai is also a favorite as well as Kurogane!). Saturday night I was able to catch the newest episode of Bleach in English and it was quite epic with the conclusion of the Ichigo and Grimjow fight. I love the music that they used during the time when Ichigo delivered the final blow.

The 50th anniversary event went well and I was able to think my grandparents for all that they did since the year that my mother died. I was also to thank my aunts and uncles and cousins and greatgrandma. It was quite a teary event for me. Beyond that Saturday and Sunday took a turn for the worst. My greatgrandma was 91 years old and ended up falling ill satursday night. We took her to the hospital and she got alright. But this morning we had to call the paramedics then go to the hospital, and then within an hour they told us that she died.

I wish she was still here because she did so much and was such an inspiration and since she lived far away I could only see her once every few years. But I was always like so glad to see her and got teary eyed each year when I couldnt see her and when I did it brightened my day and filled me with so much inspiration, its so hard to realize that she is gone

Alright so I am leaving for a large portion of this weekend so if you dont see my responses dont assume that something happened to me. My grandparents are having a grande celebration (50th anniversary) so I am going to see them and the rest of my family for this celebration. I doubt I will have any access to the internet and will probably take my computer so I can do my take home exam for statistics.

Anywway, today I picked up my first Anime on Blu-Ray, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle Season 1. It is the first time that I would be able to watch an anime in 1080p (well 720p on my laptop that has a blu-ray drive). From just seeing two episodes it already looks more crisp than when I saw it on the standard DVD at an anime club showing of it. But moving on, I finished two episodes of it, and will hopefully get to watch more soon (maybe another episode tonight). Anyway it is three discs and includes lots of bonus features on the third disc. As you can tell Im excited for it.

Also in terms of Anime, I should hopefully be able to pick up Naruto Shippuden Volume 3 at Target on Tuesday before I leave to go home for Thanksgiving Break (I think Im travelling so I want to make sure that I at least have Naruto with me!).

And for games, I played more New Super Mario Bros Wii tonight, me and my roommate finished world 4. I cant believe that we are already approaching the final world (8 I believe) in just one week. There were more things I did in the video games today, but I will save that for a later blog.

Anyway,

Trist
