suddenly, June seems really, really close

Outcome of LA trip: Rented house selected, applied for, and now obtained, pending leasing and what-all (crap, will they need me to sign the lease proper?) Sims 2 University expansion pack purchased but not yet opened. Lure of Wild Arms 4, Wild Arms Alter Code F, Lunar: Dragon Song, Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, and God knows what else manfully resisted. Friends of the boyfriend met and napped at (I passed out while they were playing video games - I'd had about seven hours of sleep in the last forty-eight.) Crapload of manga purchased, not all of it yaoi, no matter what the guys will claim. Nana artbook secured and browsed but not yet scanned. Tsubasa figure set purchased (Sakura, Syaoran, Fai, Chii, and, um, Primera? Chii and Primera free to good home. Chii also free to bad home. Or fireplace.) Nine episodes of Midori Days viewed; my love of Tsuneo Kobayashi works and green-haired chicks apparently is stronger than my dislike of perky, puppet-sized wifebots.

No pictures of the house yet, because I didn't realize how fast we'd move on renting it and didn't think to get batteries in my camera before we took off to look at it Saturday. We took a few using flurf's phone camera but he hasn't sent the photos to me, possibly because he doesn't really love me. I need to start locating boxes and so forth, not to mention plotting how to cover the fearsomely ugly paneling with wallscrolls.

Suikoden-y

My question earlier about games was based on the fact I have something to exchange at Gamestop. The trip to a Gamestop out in LA, and the lurking around the PS2 aisle of Fry's, and so forth, all that was just a test of willpower, apparently. Or torture. The boyfriend may have a previously unidentified sadistic streak - you know, I'm almost certain of it now, given he took me into Fry's before we found sweet, life-giving caffeine a Starbucks. Anyway, the conclusion is that I will use my Gamestop exchange for Suikoden V, though Lord knows when I'll have time to play it.

And on that note, Suikoden III volume 9 was one of my manga purchases. ( And the usual dissection ensues. )

...holy crap, y'all, we're renting a house.
