Considerably less rich

Instead of working on my practice asignments, I ran off from lab hours After the OS class, I took the bus to Cuatro Caminos (a very centric zone), and went to check the videogame store at the mall I reserved Twilight Princess at in the end -because El Corte Inglés sucks, although I still had to pass near since the mall and ECI are next to each other. They still hadn't called me even though they said they would, but I was going to pass by anyway even though they probably didn't had it yet. And in case they had gotten it but never called or couldn't call, I was already there. Or that was the logic. Even if it was a wasted trip, it was still a walk and I need the exercise.

I got to the mall around one thirty or something.

It was kinda funny, because when I got there someone was asking for the game for GC, and I listen carefully. And the guy told him they JUST got it. So it was like "woot!" While the other customer left, the guy picked up the phone and called someone from the Zelda waiting list (he had a notebook open in front of him.) So in short, they were calling people, and if they had come to my name I wasn't going to be home to pick it up -as I was at class and shit, and I gave them my phone number since I don't use the cellphone.

So I went and asked for my copy, and the guy said they had just called me a while before but an older lady had picked up the phone. LOL grandma.

Anyway, it was like hitsuzen.

And speaking of hitsuzen, I um... How can I say this. Some people just have to stop when they see a shop window. I have to stop at a news stand to stare at the magazines because they're so shiny~ So when I was going to leave, I made a full stop at the mall's news stand. And I'll be damned, they sold manga. Not only of the kiosk variety, but also NEW manga. I couldn't help it. My two most beloved fandoms OMG.

So I left the mall with 75 euros less and with the following sexy self-Christmas presents:

- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for Nintendo Gamecube.
- XXXHOLiC #8
- Fullmetal Alchemist #2

So hot. I'm the happiest little geek~

I had my lunch outdoors today, in a plaza in the middle of the city, and it was SO nice, with seagulls flying around. Kinda like heaven should be like.

Such a good day~~~ I want Twilight Princess so badly, but I have to wait untill Christmas because I can't afford it.

I got my copy of Fullmetal Alchemist #2 today too, with D.Gray-man #2 and a present for a friend. *feels poorer too*

I normally wouldn't, but I just got 130 bucks from Christmas and belated allowance. I'll be broke soon too.

I'm holding CLAMP no Kiseki #12, DGM #2, Furuba #thismonth's and MaLoki #2 for January. I have a lot to buy this month and I can't afford anything else.

W00tness~! So glad you could find the game :D I want more Zelda for my Advance DDDD: And new manga ♥ I still need to read HOLiC #8, but I noticed another mistake in FMA -- the first time Tucker mentions his wife, he says she died, lol.

Ok, maybe I notice all those translation mistakes because I've read FMA too many times and I know it by heart, not because it's got more errors than other series. I hope.

Yay! Got The Minish Cap yet? LOL, I don't nitpick up the mistakes in FMA that easily, but to compensate I'm left wondering what the HOLiC translators smoke whenever they transliterate the names of the spirits. Y mierda, se cargaron mi pseudo-momento Clow/Yuuko cambiando "amor" por "cariño" /whines

I loved The Minish Cap, but it's been eons since then D:

Y boo a los traductores, con lo chupi-guay que fueron en FMA con lo de "mi coronel", lol xDDDD;
