Jul. 21st, 2002 10:51 amLet us say that packing two apartments, both up several flights of stairs, and unpacking them in a third apartment, also upstairs, is rather sore-making. Ouch. Ouch. Don't know if there will be any DDR for me today. In the end, though, my brother and Carole and Maggie the dog and Kitty the cat (yes, really) are all tucked away in their new apartment. It's pretty nice. I feel kind of bad for the guys; Carole got Marc an actual 1980 Pacman machine for an engagement present a couple of months ago. It'd drive me nucking futs, but he's a bigger game geek than I am, so it was perfect. However, it's really heavy and really damn hard to get up and down the stairs, especially when one of the staircases curves. Eek.
Wow, that's like, totally interesting, eh? *makes rude noise* Ah well, I'm just killing time until Otakon. Cannot freaking wait. In the tradition of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fadingembers I have decided to make a list of things I can and cannot buy.
Allowed
*The Meryl action figure, if by some miracle it has arrived in the U.S.
*Trigun and Trigun Maximum manga, especially vol. 5. I need angsty schmoop, dammit.
*Butterscotch pocky
*As much doujinshi as my little bird arms can carry, with an emphasis on VashxMeryl and WolfwoodxMilly. Extremely strange pairings with which to horrify people are also acceptable, but then, I've already got a copy of Peeping Room. I just really want the Pannya Soup Blue Honeymoon issue. And the non-Pieces dj by Rosebud.
*Any especially cool Vampire Hunter D paraphernalia forsarcasticval.
Not Allowed
*CDs. They have a st00pid policy about no EverAnime or the like because it's making money off of piracy. As Grey says, "This at a con that shows fansubs and charges for admission." Don't forget doujinshi, which may be fine in Japan butwould drive the copyright holders crazy here. I'm an evil downloading fiend to begin with, so I guess no worries.
*DVDs, unless they are cheap or ahrder to find, like DNA^2. If I do get a normally-priced DVD, I'm limiting myself to one.
*English-language manga that I can get at Mediaplay for 10% off anyways.
*Trigun and Cowboy Bebop mini-busts. They will go down in price, probably in time for Mid-Ohio Con and Ohayocon, and then I can buy ten and become a vicious eBay scalper. Woo ha.
Hmm, not much to report otherwise. Still plugging away at slutfic, though the Crazy AU FFVIII o'Wackiness has been prodding me with its metaphoric elbow lately. The Wolfwood AMV has been driving me crazy, but I'm going to keep working at it in hopes of having a watchable copy by this weekend. We shall see. At least it helps me out with lines like "remember when I moved in you/the holy dark was moving too," because it makes for easier clip matching, and hey, I'm five years old.
