I'm finally done with cleaning. The good thing about having a 1 bedroom apartment is that there's not much to clean. Had a lot of boxes to throw out, but that's about it. Wipe down the bathroom and kitchen counter, whip out some swiffers and my lint remover/vacuum. Pika pika desu!

I spent this evening traversing town. I usually have a ban on shopping at anime stores, especially if they're outside a Japanese community, but I made an exception today and went to AnimeGamers. The reason I boycott most anime stores is because most of them sell bootlegs this and that, not something I want to support. Animegamers, I believe, has ties to a Japanese corporation, so I guess it's still okay for me. It's no different than AnimeJungle in downtown LA. Anyhow, I am very impressed with their store. I had expected them to cater to western audiences only, but I was happily surprised when I saw that they had a nice selection of Japanese manga there. While still more expensive than Asahiya, they're a bit cheaper than Kino. On top of that, they have a bunch of limited edition items that are out of print elsewhere. I came out of that store with the limited edition volume #25 of Ah My Goddess. I have books 1 and 2 of that series, but haven't even started yet. Their location is okay as I can park in the shopping mall across the street (which has a big Barnes and Noble, where I also bought another Al Franken book today). Good stuff. Will return to buy things someday...it's kinda out of the way for me as they're closer to West Hollywood though.
