Come Fly With Me...

Hey folks, Hatlicks here.
Sorry about the late update, I realize it's Tuesday (Early morning) and I'm sorry for not updating eariler yesterday. (Not that any of you really care/look for my blog actively.)

So this weekend, I picked up a few things at the local bookstore because its going out of business.
Well, first of all, it's rather upsetting that it's going out of business. Its been there since I moved here 10 years ago, and I think it had been there longer before that. I guess the town's just changing so it was only a matter f time.
Anyhoo, I picked up the first few volumes of One Piece. I know that right of the bat, you're thinking of the horrid 4kids rendition that graced the airwaves and Cartoon Network a few years back. Apparently, One Piece is actually a cool story? WHAAAA?!??!? I was confused as well. No lollipops, no waterguns. Just pirates and one comically stretchy little kid. I can honestly say that I am looking foward to reading this.
More importantly, I picked up the volumes of Shaman King that I didn't have before.

Before the weekend, I had the first 8 volumes of Shaman King, and had an absurdly hard time finding 9 and 10. I don't know why! It was like every store within reasonable distance didn't want to stock them for some reason, so I ended up raging everytime I'd walk into a store and eventually stopped reading them. With Hastings (the bookstore I refered to) going out of business however, this opened whole new opprotunities when I realized they had the whole series for chump change. The whole series... except 9 and 10... >_>
Reguardless, I bought them, and then drove an absurd distance downtown to Dragon's Lair and bought them, so now I can read them happily and peacefully. That being said... God, I LOVE Shaman King! Its so excellent! Yoh is so cool, and Amidamaru is the epitome of badassery. Also, how can anyone resist the ghost's little chibi form right before integration. Gotta love the Japanese.

The final piece of the weekend is the "Street Fighter World Warrior Encyclopedia."
Its the coolest piece of nerd gear I've got... including my Zelda belt buckle. I guess I've got some unnatural obsession with Street Fighter, but I think I'm in love with this game, and reading every little detail about the characters is like the greatest of drugs to me. I mean, what the hell would I do without knowing that Charlie Nash likes justice and scotch? I mean Jesus, he's like a fusion of batman and Ron Burgandy (And almost as classy too!)

Momentai, friends.

P.S. Sorry this week was kinda lame. I've got alot on my mind, and I'm sorting it out, so expect a better one next week.
