gnine wandering around cosplay gawking and having fun. And buying manga. Does that count as a plan? There's money burning a hole in my pocket that could be Japanese volumes of Yu-Gi-Oh instead! *ahem*
I picked up Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander at Borders a few days ago, because it was on sale and I enjoyed the movie and have been meaning to check out the books. 40 pages in and loving it, I'm so weak to 19th century and pseudo-19th century literary embellishment. I can only take so much of it at a given time, but for the length of a book or two it is such a delightful read. Makes me smile. That the official name of the novels is the "Aubrey/Maturin Series" also makes me smile...wonder if anyone's ever explained to the publishers the alternative reading of the "/"?
