In other news, I'm feeling a bit bummed at the moment. Over at [livejournal.com profile] sailormoonland , they're holding a Last Icon Maker Standing challenge. I made it to the next round, which of course I'm happy about, but I was really proud of the icon I made, so it's disappointing to see that I didn't earn any positive votes and even got one negative vote. I know I'm not the best icon maker out there, but, to be entirely truthful, I didn't really care for any of the other submissions. Some were okay, but none of them really blew me away, so it was difficult for me to pick a Top 3. It seems pretty clear that I must have very different tastes in icons than everybody else... Oh, well, I'll try to do better next round!

Man, I love bargain hunting at Amazon Marketplace. I finally decided to use up my last Visa gift card and bought myself a ton of CLAMP, because I have apparently decided that I need to own ALL their licensed works. (Except for X. I won't be buying that until they start working on it again. And Man of Many Faces, because Vol. 2 is ridiculously expensive.) I blame it on the Southside Artbook I bought a few weeks ago. After seeing all those gorgeous pictures, I need more of the pretty.

Anyway, I ordered the Northside Artbook, Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, both volumes of Duklyon Clamp School Defenders, all three volumes of Clamp School Detectives, and the first four of the five volumes of Angelic Layer. (I ran out of money on the card before I could get the last one.) My one non-CLAMP purchase was the Vol. 5 disc of Hare + Guu that I needed to finish the main series. Paid close to retail for it, but it was the cheapest available, and I didn't want to risk the possibility of never getting it. Besides, I got such a good deal on everything else that I didn't really mind paying a little extra for it.

Now I just need to get that last volume of Angelic Layer, finish up xxxHolic (which I hear is about to end soon), collect Tokyo Babylon and RG Veda, and start on Kobato., and my collection will be complete!

Yeah... I may be a little insane.
