Thanksgiving weekend
Weekend almost over, yay! Normally I do not cheer the end of a long weekend, but this year, I so am.
Too many people, too much driving, too much wrangling for parking spaces, too much attempting to be on time and not and forgetting assorted things. Also, I didn't even have that much good food, and considering all the nasty parking, I didn't even get that many good bargains.
I have instead overcompensated by spending entirely too much money. Sigh. Must budget better next week.
Loot includes:
- Samsonite luggage set consisting of a wheeled carry-on bag large enough for more-than-overnight-less-than-a-week trips and a duffle bag. $70! I am actually proud of this one.
- Um. Too much yarn. In my defense, some of it is for Christmas presents. Maybe Christmas presents for next year, considering the rate I finish things, but still! Also, I wandered into my local yarn store today to find some gorgeous colorways of self-striping yarns for 70% off! Four dollar yarn! 100% wool! Soft! Beautiful colors! I got Cognac and Lilac Blossoms.
- I bought Angel Sanctuary 13-16 (Eng.) and Nana 16 (orig.) from Kinokuniya. I probably should have waited for AS, but I wanted to read more.
- I nearly bought Night of the Beasts, which I saw advertised in Her Majesty's Dog. I managed to resist and only ended up getting a new Judith Ivory (ok, not new, but a reissued Judy Cuevas I've never heard of) and Rent and Pride and Prejudice (I am strangely fond of Keira Knightley in this one!). I probably shouldn't have gotten anything, but the DVDs were $8 each, and I know they will be comfort movies.
- Have spent too much money on food that wasn't even that tasty. Sigh. Weekend will be over after classmates visit, but hopefully that will be less expensive and more fun, given that it is hot pot, and it is perfect weather for hot pot.
In other news, it's grey and rainy here, and it finally feels like November. Ugh. I think I will curl up on the couch with rats, knit a scarf and watch Rent and sing aloud at the top of my lungs later tonight.

I am now contemplating getting started on assorted fingerless gloves instead of scarves.
Btw, is there anything you'd want as a knitted present? Of course, with the caveat that you'll probably get it three years down the line.

Odd fishing-expedition manga/anime-knowledge question
My little sister wore a t-shirt to Thanksgiving bearing a girl with long black hair in a (black-and-white) maid's uniform and ENORMOUS FEATHERED WHITE WINGS. I smiled, and asked what series it was from, and she completely straightfaced said she thought it was Evangelion.
Even *I* know there's no 'angel' angels in Evangelion! And I've only seen like three episodes.
Do you have any idea what it might have been from really? Not to demand that you do my homework for me, or anything, but if you happen to know I'm curious. Or at least it'll give me options to narrow down with further websearching. :->

For additional cheering, I will tell you that I was on Capitol Hill (gay neighborhood pending gentrification) last night with a friend, and she was looking at Hello Kitty stuff in a shop window. I looked too, and saw Bleach stuff behind it, so I commented on that, and then they had a shirt with Gaara on it! So I walked along for half a block chirping about how I could buy a shirt with Gaara on it! and she had no idea what I was talking about. :)
