I acted all noble, and set a spending limit for myself. Then, I go and go way over it in one night! Silly me. Anyway, what could have Alrae wanted so bad to spend so much on? Furuba, that's what! I got the first DVD of the anime. I listened to the voice acting, just to see how it was. Yuki, poor Yuki, has a horrid voice! It's so bland and boring and sighing! They could've done so much better! Tohru's isn't what I was expecting, but I'll get used to it. Kyo's is ok. Shigure's is perfect! It's absolutely perfect! I'll listen to the Japanese voices, too. Soon, my friends will come over and we'll watch all six episodes. We're gonna have our own anime day, Michelle, and it will be better than yours! Anyway, I also got the Kyo hat! Now Gwyn and I can match! Also, I went to see Howl's Moving Castle twice! Once with Shi-chan and her little sisiter, then again with my sisters, my mom, Gwyn-chan, Bob, and Gwyn-chan's sister. It's such a great movie! Poor Howl just HAD to cut his hair, though, didn't he? Ruin his lovely bishie-ness? How could he? *weeps openly* I also had a great 4th of July! We watched 1776, which I adore, and went to see the fireworks! It was great. I FINALLY got Princess Ai vol. 2, which I've been waiting for for a year! It's so good! The silly songwriter could have written better, though. I got Fullmetal Alchemist vol. 2, too! And Demon Diary vol. 3! Finally, the notorious Krayon shows his face!

ACCEL news: It's coming, I promise! The first two pages are done, the third needs to be inked, and the fourth is started. I'll get it up soon. I've been commissioned to do something first, so when that's done, it's straight back to work for me!
