  I know, I know, I said I'd finish the essay later--and I will. MUCH later. It'll have to wait till I go to my grandma's again so I can verify some of my information using her book on alchemy.
Anyway, all sorts of things going on recently. Here's the run-down:
1) Antique Bakery vol. 3 came out recently and Jenny returned the first two volumes to me so there has been much Ono-loving around here. Ah, who can resist the "gay of demonic charm" and his cute little crush on Chikage? Actually, more like barely-controlled infatuation. Mwar.
2) I just finished reading The Princess Bride today. Awesome book. On par with the movie, I'd say, but that is my personal taste. In any case, it's long, but it's worth it, and it sucks you right in.
3) I have two papers due within the month. I could cry. In fact, I think I will, vicariously, through an emoticon. T_T
4) I'm getting a temp job working at the office at Whole Foods MARS (that's an acronym for a very long name), mostly doing spreadsheets. It should start soon and I will get my very own income for the first time in my life! ^.^
5) The commission art shop I set up on Gaia was flooded on Easter and I still haven't finished with those customers. It's horrible, I tell you! They're driving me crazy! With their "take your time"s and their "no hurry"s! AAAGH!
6) I'm getting my green belt in tae kwan doh next week and my equipment has pretty much all been replaced, except for shinguards, hand guards, and elbow guards. Did I mention my entire bag of equipment was stolen? Well, my entire bag of equipment was stolen. What pisses me off most is that it was probably for the bag since it was all nice and new, and the stuff inside probably just got tossed--that's $300+ of equipment (sweaty and used, ew) plus both my belts, an undershirt I rather liked, and my backup pair of glasses. That stuff is worthless to a thief but means a lot to me...
7) We watched Advent Children in anime club today. First time I've watched it all the way through (I am easily bored when I don't understand the plot, which was pretty much ambiguous for most of the movie). My favorite parts: When Cloud is holding a limp and dying Kadaj in the classic hero/heroine pose... Ah, that is beauty... And also (SPOILER FROM HELL) when Cloud got shot. You think the movie's over, everyone's happy, then BANG! Ha ha.
8) The best news of all: On the weekend of the 13th, I will be taking a plane with my mother to Rochester, where we will tour the University of Rochester campus and then... wait for it... GO SEE EXO!! Then we will go to a YGO tournament together on Sunday. I can't think of anything more romantic, myself. Hee, I can hardly wait!
