My Internet troubles continue. No idea what's going on, but I have to restart my computer like, five times to get it to be able to actually set an IP and connect.

Very annoying. I hope that it stops soon.

So, Dr Wilson is apparently fairly sick, so another cancelled class. We got the syllabus in this one, at least. I hope he's better soon, though I must admit I am not complaining too much about only having 2 classes in a row, rather than three. And I have the Avard-Dixon computer lab with not stupid internet access, which is also nice ^_^

It is a rare day off, hurrah. So we are going costume shopping.

OMG! I GOT A PAID BLOGGING POSITION!

I applied for this back in December since well, I do use this thing a lot and just got a response saying that I got the position. We're having a meeting for the successful applicants later this week :]

Very exciting!

So I've been reading the Tsubasa manga, I bought vol 3 over the holidays and finally got a chance to sit down with it. So far...I honestly don't really know quite why everyone's so in love with the thing. I don't know, hopefully things pick up later on, but right now it's honestly the second weakest CLAMP manga in my opinion (the weakest, amusingly enough, being X/1999...I love the anime to death, but the manga just seems to drag on and not be half as exciting...granted, I haven't read it all, but that's because I don't like really like). I definitely think it will be some time before I buy another volume, though I expect that I will, in hopes that it does improve. I do like all the references. But when I compare it to xxxHolic, I just like that one so much more, it's much more enjoyable to read. I like RG Veda better as well, though not as much as xxxHolic, which I think right now stands to compete with Chobits for favourite CLAMP manga.

But right now Tsubasa really isn't doing it for me that much. Especially the action scenes, I have never been a fan of action in manga because I find it hard to figure out what's going on.

There are some awesome characters and ideas though, so yeah, I probably will keep with it a bit longer, but it's fallen down the priority list (and so is behind Genbu Kaiden, xxxHolic, RG Veda, Ouran Host Club, Dramacon (though that's only released once a year anyway), Welcome to the NHK!, Nodame Cantabile, Eternal Sabbath (maybe...I need to read vol 2 of that to decide), and probably is about tied with Hana Yori Dango and Angel Sanctuary...which I need to get vol 3 of eventually XD).

There are also a few other series that I would like to try out, mainly Genshiken since it sounds rather hilarious. I also think Judas sounds of some interest and maybe the series about the Borgias...and I also do want to get more of Absolute Boyfriend and NANA in collected volumes, especially since Margaret and I will be dividing up our Shoujo Beat vols in a bit.

Hmmmm...speaking of Shoujo Beat, I wonder if our subscription just ran out...that might explain why it uh, hasn't come yet this month XD!

Actually yeah...I think that must be it. Guess we have to make sure Hobbyton orders them in then.
