Craigslist is failing to provide me with the perfect apartment of my dreams, internet. Why is this. I thought the crappy economy would result in high vacancy rates and good deals, but so far this has not proven to be the case. I keep seeing the same crappy apartments over and over again, and I've been scouring the listings since February. Maybe everybody's staying put due to the crap economy. Maybe I should stay put too since my job is not exactly totally secure. But I really don't know if I can deal with my downstairs neighbor for another year. Every time I tell myself I should chill out and not let him bother me I hear his voice it's ARGH INSTANT RAGE.

I'm mouldering away with boredom at work as well. Everyone is off at graduation, so it's very quiet and I have already cleared my to-do list. I wish I could just leave.

I need to write a drabble this weekend, maybe take a look at some of the prompts for the Minekura fic meme since I have all this time now. Hmm, and type up my thoughts re: the latest WA chapter. I feel kind of bad for wishing this arc would just end already, but I kind of hope it would just end already. I want to get back to what's happening in the present day.

Oh, Vol. 3. I didn't dislike it per se, but in my head I refer to it as the Hardy Boys volume; plucky boy detectives investigate mystery! I think I felt a little bit cheated at the end because I felt like it didn't move the plot forward or reveal much about the characters. The whole Fortune's Fang thing seemed like a cheat; when all was said and done they actually had nothing to do with WA, so there was really no forward plot movement. And I feel like all we learned about the characters was that Kubota felt like he had become a little bit more human in the past year. Which is great, but I wanted more.

I did love the omake she included at the end of the volume, though. I don't know, as I said I definitely didn't dislike it, but I don't think it resonated with me quite as strongly as the 4th or 5th volumes, which are my all time favorites.
