I am so totally awesome

I went shopping this evening.  Headed over to Borders to see if I could use my gift cards up.  Spent an hour or so browsing through the Graphic Novels before I settled on two.  Almost bought the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" one, because it was full of Steampunkish awesome, but decided to get "The Unwritten" and "The Surrogates" instead.  Both of which should be good reads.  :D

After that I headed to Barnes & Noble and had trouble finding Alice, which I fell in love with when Sci-Fi showed it.  Had to ask they guy working for help, and we managed to find it in the Sci-Fi section under the "G"s.  **Facepalm**

But, very pleased with myself, because I manged to use up both Borders gift cards, and of the three B&N cards the last one has $3 and change on it.  :D

I miss having money for books. I decided a while back to trust dragonkaty's reccs and she hasn't steered me wrong so far. If you're into urban fantasy, that is, which anybody who enjoys my We Don't Die should be. If I had money to spend on books, my library would be a lot bigger (and I would be bitching a lot more often about not having proper bookshelves). First, I need to catch up all the manga I haven't bought in forever; I mean, the last volume of Bleach I bought was 21, I think, and I believe they're all the way up to 28 now. I'd buy all the R.A. Salvatore books, probably some books based on TV shows even though the first two CSI:NY novels messed up a couple of backstories, probably some historical things, research material for those rare subjects that Wikipedia's a little vague on, that sort of thing.

*snort* Listen to me. I already live in a freaking firetrap; why not add a little more tinder?

See, I ask for gift cards for birthdays/holidays, which means that I end up with something like $30 in gift cards that I end up carrying around because I tend to be very indecisive when it comes to buying stuff. I love getting gift cards, but then I always want to use them for practical stuff, which is very silly.

Anyways, now I've got to get ready for the beach, as I'm heading on a day trip with a couple friends. Woo-hoo! Hopefully this time I won't get stung by a jellyfish!
