Daily Happiness
1. I am really excited about the changes in the most recent Dreamwidth code push. Finally comments will thread properly in gmail! Also I'd given up on ever being able to import my LJ, since I waited too long and now if I did it there would be a ton of duplicate posts, but they've changed it now so that it recognises crossposted entries and won't duplicate them. Whee!
2. We had an excellent day yesterday. We rented a car in the morning and then did a ton of errands. Both Book Offs, Marukai, two Mitsuwas, Sanseido, Fry's, Target, Wallmart, and Smart and Final. Whew!
Best part is that between the $2 I got for taking our cans to the recycling center (yeah, now that we're not drinking soda anymore, there wasn't much to take!), the $18 I got for two bags of manga I sold at Book Off (I try not to think about the fact that it was 70 volumes for $18, ack! But it's better than nothing), the $23 money order I cashed (for some CDs and DVDs), and the $21 I'll get for some manga I bought for someone (I always charge her a little more than I actually pay), that will cover the cost of the car rental itself. And we didn't really spend too much money on ourselves, and what we did spend was for necessary stuff.
On the splurgy side, I got myself four volumes of manga that I have not been able to find scanned. Ppoi! 26 and 27 (26 was used, so $3), Nana 21 (I finally found scans of Nana the other day, but someone had edited some of the speech bubbles with nonsense! Why would someone do that!?), and IS 16 (I'm so glad the little shop at the Santa Monica Mitsuwa seems to be consistently carrying this now! They even got in copies to replace the ones I'd bought). I also got Kirino Natsuo's Grotesque (Japanese version, since the English version has bits cut out; since when are books censored?) and another Ishida Ira book, both on the dollar shelf.
3. I really love the second picture of Maru here and this Wondermark.
