Random things I have decided I want to share with my poor, unsuspecting audience:
1. Carrots taste vaguely peppery when left out in the open for a few days. Still good and crunchy though! However, if by any chance I end up dead of food poisoning, you will all know not to eat vaguely peppery carrots.
2. Honey and butter Pretz is now officially the Best Pretz Flavor. Ever. I haven't yet decided if it beats the dark chocolate Men's Pocky, because they satisfy completely different tastes. Honey butter Pretz is just a teensy bit salty and a teensy bit sweet, and as such, it a wonderful snack food when you don't feel like chocolate. Amazingly, there are actually times in this world when I don't feel like eating chocolate. However, I don't think I have ever encountered a time when I didn't want honey. This reminds me. I need to go buy frozen waffles so I have something to put honey on.
3. Manga is an excellent way to improve my declining Chinese reading comprehension skills! Or at least, that's what I want my mom to think so she will ship me all my old manga, which I am suddenly dying to reread (Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai!). I also told her to buy me Saiyuki in Chinese! Hey, you never know!
4. People on LJ who send scanlations and episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist are absolutely wonderful and should be showered with praise so that they continue such acts ofcrack dealing random kindness. Aka I got mail OMG SQUEE !!!!11!11eleventyone!!
5. Having a roommate means I feel about ten times wealthier, book-wise, and I eagerly anticipate the looting of communal shelves. It also means I somehow get to feel that I'm all clean and stuff because her room is spiffy clean and spotless, even though I'm still the same messy person I was before.

Tue, Apr. 19th, 2005 08:37 am (UTC)I was going to write up a brief blurb on each of the manga I sent you, but I erased the list of them by accident, so I guess it's going to be random fun time. Cinderella Boy, The Ice-Cold Demon's Tale, and Silver Diamond are all by the same manga-ka and were written in that order, and I recommend reading them in the reverse order--Silver Diamond blew me away, even though I only have four chapters of it, and without it I probably wouldn't have persevered with the other two, which are much more ordinary.
