I just ordered this from Amazon!
I can't wait to receive it.
I really enjoyed the first book.

I also ordered the dvd What the Bleep Do We Know?
I am thoroughly excited about receiving that as well.

Thats awesome I just ordered the first one from amazon since Borders only had the second one. lol I also got The Rage Carrie 2 on dvd and I ordered Ginger Snaps on dvd. However I might not get the Ginger Snaps dvd since I have just learned the company I ordered it from is known for taking people money and never sending what you ordered. They're called moviemars. So now I worried I'm not going to get it and have to harass the jerks and waste a bunch of time to get anything. Ok I'm done venting and feel a lot better. lol

Gaming Goodness:


Xbox 360 Elite

DDR: Universe 1

DDR: Universe 2

FFXI: Vana'diel Collection 2008

Fable 1

Mad Catz: Beat Pad
(It was cheaper to buy the two DDR: Universe games used and the Mad Catz Beat Pad than to buy the Universe 1 or Universe 3 w/ Pad new)


Totally made out like a bandit.
Sure, I probably shouldn't have spent so much of my financial aid on gaming but... I have a HDTV and... I'm young and only live once. Besides, I hardly ever truly pamper myself so... once a year isn't bad. Not to mention, I plan on offsetting the difference by using my income from my job so... it was basically a "cash advance" to myself.

Eh... was going to get the Pro system as I probably/hopefully wont use ALL the harddrive space (though I believe I can hook up an external HD if I ever need)... but then I read something about the Elite being the only model with the HD cable n stuff... plus its black... and does have more space (just in case) so... I'm happy.
Tis a shame they didn't have the one above it... it's gold and shiny.

Edit: Bleh, RavenwindX was already taken on Xbox Live (hmm... who stole the handle I've used for nearly 8 years?) so... went with RavenZeta.

I bought a book by another one of my fav authors...
Luanne Rice - Light of the Moon.
Her books have made me cry a few times.

Bought a Franz Kafka book -- full of short stories and whatnot.

Please don't tell me is the Wall of China. I tried to read that but it just became incoherent.

^^ Naah, it's not in this book...at least, not from what I can tell. I just noticed that it's not really the best translated book of short stories.....

Heh. That's why I read my Discworld books in English; the damn publishing house that has the book rights in Spanish spelt the author's name wrong IN A COVER

My Ginger Snaps DVD and my Love In Vein book came in. Yay!!!!

DVDs: The Mongol, Inland Empire

Books: The Werther Letters by Goethe, the Last Tycoon by Scott Fitzgerald, Fiebre by Miguel Otero Silva
