A bunch of stuff from my Amazon wishlist.
- Akira vol.1 (twice, thanks to an Amazon cock-up).
- Nausicaa vol. 4-7 (now I've finally got the whole collection after getting 1 volume each christmas for 3 years, since for some reason I never ended up just buying it myself).
- Various CDs: The Boy and the Tree, Zero, and Distant Sounds of Summer by Susumu Yokota, The Berzerker by The Berzerker (laughs) and I also got myself Rage Against the Machine's Killing in the Name, to aid with the anti-X-Factor efforts.
- Elite Beat Agents (holy shit why did I wait so long to get this?)
- Looney Tunes Golden Collection vol. 4
- PAL region FLCL collection (I only had two NTSC dvds of it before, not sure why I bought those...)
Things not from my wishlist:
- Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth by Apostolos Doxiadis (looks like I'll get a fair kick out of it).
- A "Forgotten English Words" 2010 calendar.
- A rather nice scarf, two hats (one of which is very nice), and a pair of gloves.
All-in-all, more than I was expecting.
I also allowed myself a super-indulgent treat, seeing how much money I've earned lately, and ordered the Hidamari Sketch x365 Tokubetsu Hen Limited edition (my one concession to Japan's ridiculous pricing model for DVDs, spurred on mostly by my mad desire for
this thing) from CDJapan, as well as all the main soundtrack CDs, since mostly they weren't actually that expensive.
Given those stupid Sonic figurines I got myself for my birthday and the rate I'm going in terms of nerdy obsession, I'll probably end up getting myself a dakimura next Christmas. :(
