YAY! They're here....

I hate waiting. Waiting for books, waiting for games, waiting for gaming consoles. And some other stuff I hate waiting for. So guess whether or not I got happy when they arrived, all at the same time....

Friday last: Ni no Kuni! Yes! Finally  I've been waiting since this released in Japan in... October was it? I've started to play, and it's like playing a Ghibli film.... neat. For a couple of seconds there, i was a bit worried. I couldn't find the language setting. But, found it! I want Japanese. Now, I don't doubt the dub is great, it's Ghibli after all.... Well, I'll have fun.


Yesterday: New phone! Yay! I've had my last phone since.... ever.... old foldable Samsung thingy. Now; Xperia U! Yay! I'm pleased. I'm a widget-nut, so believe me when I say I downloaded at least 10 in less than an hour.
USB2SATA. I needed this. I have two SATA HDDs lying about with things to rescue. Gotta do that today....
BOOKS!!!! I love books.... as you know.....So last night i tried to cram Star Wars The Old Republic Revan, Luck in the shadows, Loveless volume 1 and 2 and The Hammer and the Blade into my already TWICE filled book cases. Ok, maybe not twice, but I have put maybe half my books in the cellar once. I try to put away at least one book every year =P.

Hmm. lets see.....

SWTOR Revan. Yeah, couldn't really keep my fingers away from this one. I LOVE the old Republic. Not the game, but the concept. Love the game, too.... *confessed*. What I really loved was the old video game Knights of the Old Republic. (*Star Wars fan girl drool*...... *Bioware fan girl death*.....  *Raphael Sbarge/Carth Onasi fan girl megadeath*....) I wanted it from the moment I saw it. Although, now I have a bit of a conundrum on my hands. There are some other books in this series. Do I need to read them before Revan? I don't know.....





Luck in the shadows is actually NOT the book I wanted to read. What I wanted to read was Casket of Souls. Only I found out that it was nr 8 in the Nightrunner series. So first, before I get to Casket of souls i have to read the other 7 books, starting with this. But I still look forward to reading the whole series. Spies and wars and gay guys and stuff. What could be better.

(Nice picture, eh? Or not.... Courtesy of me not really knowing my phone yet....)





Loveless vol. 1+2. I love Loveless. I saw the animé, and then I fell into arguments on whether or not it's shota. It's not shota, at least not the animé. Yes, Ritsoka is a teenager and Soubi is at least somewhat adult (is he 18, is he 25? The animé doesn't tell), but at least the animé give a nice clear line as to when teenagers are considered "adult enough". Their ears fall off. That is, their cat/dog/whatever ears on top of their heads. Their human ears stay intact (thank god, otherwise it would be weird.) In the animé, Ritsokas ears fall off in.... what, the second episode? So there, not shota.....

(Another splendid picture.....)



The Hammer and the Blade. Saw this on sale same time I saw Casket of souls. I felt it was a must-have. I love fantasy  I love epic fantasy, I love sword and sorcery....And, oh.... did I say I love yaoi?








These four books go up on top on my "currently reading" list, pushing some others down.... tooo baaaad....


Happy reading to me =) I hope I then get to rescue my Tokyo vampire thingy......
