   I am tired, but happy.
Finally home from Idaho. I am so happy to be back. I love going on these little weekends away, but it is so nice to get home to see my pets! The dogs were so happy to see us pull up to the house. I missed them. It is going to be really hard when we go to Chicago then straight to Anime Expo. It's going to be a good 2 weeks without being home!

So here is the anime shopping trip items for this weekend!

-Robotech Remastered Vol 2 DVD set. I have loved Robotech since it came out in the 80's. It's an important anime to ALL anime fans since it helped introduce anime to America. It's been a major influence on my life.
-Kikaider Vol 4 DVD. I like the old school feel of this anime. Plus, I have a Mitsuko cosplay costume. I have the right haircut for the character!
-Last Exile Vol 3 DVD. John loves this anime. When I asked him what anime he would want to be transported too he said Last Exile so he could fly a vanship. Once a pilot, always a pilot.
-Puni Puni Poemi DVD- Being an Excel Saga fan we had to get this one. With all the "warning" stickers on the front how could be not get it!
-Saiyuki Vol 9 DVD. I don't think I need to even explain why I picked this one up. Sanzo....
-Kare Kano Vol 1 to 5 manga. I wanted to read this one but haven't been able to find it in my small hometown. I figured that right now was as good a time as any to start....and I have to find something to kill some time between now and Vol 2 of Saiyuki!
-One large stuffed Grunty. Ok, I saw him at the mall and he was just too cute not to get. I got a large stuffed grunty. He looks like the little one that came with the .hack/sign box set. "Oink! Feed me I'm hungry!"

Well, I think that was everything I picked up on this trip. I think the next trip I am going to get the boxset of Trigun. I have it on tape but need to get it on DVD. I want the boxset if I am going to get it. Anime budget was dug into a bit since we had the wedding weekend to pay for.

Is it bad that I am thought twice about having the bottle of champagne sent to Jen and Mike's honeymoon suite. $80 could have bought me about 4 DVDs or 8 manga.....I am a bad best friend. The champagne was the right way to spend that money.
