"So, what'd you get?"

Back from Lucca Comics... to avoid a lot of questions with the same answer, here's what I got:

- "The art of Spirited Away" artbook. Yum. I can so see myself making layouts with some of these images...
- "Your eyes only" Chobits artbook. Ditto. I also saw the limited edition version, the one with the carry bag, but I didn't feel like blowing €50 on an artbook + a carry bag when the plain version cost €17 - €33 for a carry bag, nope I don't think so :P
- Two "Nana" manga volumes, #6 and #8
- The Spirited Away soundtrack
- A mini Living Dead Doll. It's very cute, in its creepy way. *grin* I wanted one of the larger ones... this for instance... but they cost too much, €40 is more than I can justify spending on a doll, fun though it would've been.
- A keyring with the One Piece skull
- Some assorted manga to read on the train trip back home.

[EDIT] One thing I missed though, was an Atashi plushie (you know, the bunny thing from Chobits), the pink one with its eyes open. The place was so crowded and I didn't feel like pushing through another crowd to ask how much it cost... starting to regret it now, though. Bleh. ;_; [/EDIT]

Trip was relatively pleasant... one of the trains ran late though, so we (me and my brother) had to run to catch the next one and we spent the whole time on that train standing, it was so full. And on the trip back home, we ended up sitting next to Grouchy Lady and her SO... we were just sitting there reading comics and minding our own business, and they radiated disapproval. Could damn well near hear their thoughts of "what the hell are they doing, comics and artbooks, how stupid". Ah well... dumb people. Overall I had fun, even though it was raining by the bucketfuls, so it was cold and wet.

Now to finish catching up on stuff... then NaNoWriMo. Nice way to start, being one day late... *runs off*

Hmmmmm... sometimes black hair with a white streak is the best look, sometimes it'd look better all black. I am right in seeing a white streak in the doll's hair, right? Good stuff, anyway. :D
