So my DAC came in last week.
Oh god I love it.
I was worried that I, being the Bose-loving bottom-feeder that I am ;D, wouldn't be able to hear a difference when I hooked it up. I was worried that any difference that I heard would be too small for me to justify ignoring the possibility of the placebo effect.
But there was a noticeable difference <3!
(I even dragged omgotarjay into my room to listen to the before/after and verify that I wasn't making it up).
Ahh, what a cute little metal box!

(I dusted on Monday but more has already settled ;_;)

I recently experimented with a forwarding service by purchasing some doujinshi from Tora no Ana (who only ship domestically). I was rather surprised to receive a package on Monday, since I had selected SAL and the forwarding service only shipped my package last week... Lo and behold, when I went to pick it up I found that they had shipped it by EMS. I thought the shipping cost had been unusually high... hmm. They claim it's because SAL would have been more expensive - which it would have been if it didn't classify as small parcel SAL??? I'm discussing it politely with them through email. Other than that, they were great; I'm pretty sure they repackaged my order and shipped it on the same day that they received it from TnA. They were prompt and helpful when I sent an inquiry about whether it would cause confusion if my name appeared in kanji on the package they were to receive.

So yeah. $11 to read my doujinshi a week or two earlier? I wouldn't have chosen it but, meh. I'm not too choked about it either. :D Junk Lab and Raku-Gun original stuffs <3 + the latest touhou-faggotry from Personal Color.

As I could have predicted, my Bakemonogatari v1 (blu-ray, lol) did not ship on time. Amazon kindly split my shipment (without charging me) so that my other stuff could arrive when they predicted it would. I don't mind Bakemonogatari coming later; I don't have anything to play it on yet anyways (and I'd be silly to expect anything else when I pre-ordered a popular item so close to the release date).

I'm surprised at how much I'm anticipating reading more from Nakazato Mitsuru. I enjoyed Dorobou no Meijin, but I didn't think I enjoyed it that much?

Yes I have been spending a lot of money. Lol.
