As the sun sets in the West, it heralds the closing of my second day in Home Mark II here in Southampton. A day in which I've done flip-all, owing to my only waking up three hours ago. *cough*
So I'm not to spend as much money this term, because I don't have as much this time round owing to my squandering it all last term. If I wish to clothe and feed myself this term, as well as raise funds for my specialist, and thus expensive, entertainments, I must once again launch myself into the perilous vortex of part-time employment. And after two-and-a-bit years of working in a shoe shop and hating it, I've decided to pick and choose this time round. I really only want to work somewhere where I can be around the things I love, and get a discount on said items. Thus my first ports of call are Forbidden Planet, GameStation, Game, HMV, and Waterstones. Of course, I expect to be diappointed, so I'm willing to compromise if needs be and work somewhere else. But I swear on my mother's grave that I won't spend my time dishing out fast food, or carrying a sign around as a walking advertisement.
On the aforementioned spending front, I admit I have slipped a little already. Within a few hours of getting back to my halls I dished out £20 on the complete Mahou Sensei Negima, the first anime adaptation of my favourite manga. Being bought from a UK seller on eBay, it's probably fake, but at 26 episodes it should keep me out of the shops for awhile when added to my desire to re-watch Magic Knight Rayearth and what I have of Fullmetal Alchemist, as well as there being a few Christmas Presents i haven't looked at yet, and I also want to read through my manga collection again. The benefits of leaving everything in Southampton I guess.
One piece of good news on the Eastern Entertaiment Front is that MVM have severed ties with Funimation, the American company responsible for distributing Fullmetal Alchemist in English. Good news, because with any luck MVM will soon be trying to shift their stock before the license expires, meaning I can get hold of the FMA volumes I'm missing on the cheap before Revelation Films picks up the series at volume 9. Bliss!

if i like an anime alot, i'll buy the hong kong bootlegs just to see what happens. i don't mind reading around horribly phrased japanese-translated-to-chinese-translated-to-english, but you get funky stuff like "he got his sense, here" or "watch yourself, chicken man, or i will be inserting my sharp sword into your testicles."
