Want to watch anime...

Rewarded myself for getting through the week by buying volumes 3 & 4 of Sandman. The silly shop didn't have 1 and 2. Managed to find me mum a birthday present as well. And was well praised in my Arch. practical for doing my research properly. One flatmate is gone for the holidays, with the other leaving tomorrow. Ah, blessed peace and quiet (excepting the construction workers down the street of course, and the drunks who always wander by around 3am and the screaming kids who play around the flat and the barking dogs and...you get the idea). Have also managed to review for the Order. Still have lots of work to do, but at least some stuff is getting done. Only one more week to go of term.

Go you, with the getting all the stuff done, and the praise for your Arch. practical! I think I will get my reviewing done for the order...I hope I will...of course, the fact that FA seems to be down is not helping...*wibbles*

Sandman! Sandman! Sandman!

And that's all I have to say.

Exactly!! I'm only on the sixth trade paperback, stuck borrowing them from a friend, but I'll soak in everything I can get. ^^ Is it just me, or does the trade skip around from issue number to issue number, back and forth like the streams of time at the edges of the dreaming?

*cough* obsessed *cough*

Not that I didn't spend last night with my mouth hanging open in awe while reading the third paperback...I think I'll save the 4th as a reward for when I get home (so that I can buy 1 and 2 first).

Yes, yes I am obsessed. I thought you could tell?

I also reccommend Brief Lives. (the sixth or seventh trade, can't remember as I left it at D's gramma's house for the day)... I can't help but like Delirium... ::wonders how bad a thing that is...::

Delirium...okay...;) Bought the first two paperbacks today, so now have 1-4. Needless to say, I'm not getting much work done. Will get the rest once I'm back home.

Work? ... oh, right. That thing that I do when I'm not reading Sandman or sketching. Wait, I thought that was writing... ::ponders:: OOOOoooooh, that thing I've been ignoring? Right, right.

hehehe... you've been drawn in. Now, can you get out?

The answer, of course, lies in whether or not you want to.

That should be a line from sandman. Maybe it is. If its not, I'm using it in my book... One of them.......

In some ways I wish I could get out...I had my first nightmare in about three years last night. Nothing serious, just me being in a van falling down a cliff but it has been a long time (and I do sort of expect that if I had waited a second more (I just changed the dream when I realized I was falling...) the Sandman would have shown up to save me. And all my dreams were really vivid...

Neil does a great job going from horror to humour and I adore him for it. *goes back to reading*

Uhhm, I hadn't noticed...but then, they recently reissued the trade paperbacks; I have the older versions, so for all I know when they republished they screwed up the order. Hmm.

There's a general overall story, but really what it is, is that the effects of many different stories suddenly coalesece into one unavoidable conclusion. So, it might seem that the plot jumps around, but it doesn't really, because it isn't exactly linear.
