Finished up to #36, starting #37 sometime tonight.

Whenever I get back from the bookstore, because there is new YGO out! And I'm not sure I should be reading/capping anything while I've officially entered the Crazy!Emotions zone.

Twitchy and vibrating like a plucked string, but at least it didn't blindside me this time. So I won't have to kick myself for stupid irrational decisions.

Except maybe the idea that I can get this completely finished in one weekend, considering I have 3 episodes and two movies that are four and five episodes' worth themselves. x.x

ETA: I just checked the properties for what I've done so far? 1.17 GB in 39,524 files in 133 folders.

And I thought everything might fit on one disc?! omg XD

Well, I made it back home. I got Dad to give me directions there in the first place, since he knew how to get there without crossing the horrible Matthews bridge. (of which I have complained many times previously, and will try to restrain myself. x.x )

It was wonderful, I went over the Fuller-Warren (he insisted I'd see a sign reading thusly, but I never did - however, I went over a bridge not the Matthews, so that must have been it) and made a couple of very widely spaced rights and came straight to it. None of the irritating twists and turns and cutting through downtown that I usually have to deal with, and I'm pretty sure I've got the whole thing memorized.

If only I hadn't gotten lost on the way back home, it would have been perfect. x.x But - I think I know where I went wrong, I need to remember North I-95 coming home, not South.

*insert chanting of 'North to come home' here*

And they didn't even have my Yu-Gi-Oh, but they ordered it for me and I'll be able to come get it in about a week - thus giving me an excuse to get coffee again. Meanwhile finally noticed a copy of the first issue of Yami no Matsuei, and The Snow-Walker by Catherine Fisher, which looks interesting. Also I found the most wonderful little things: they're called Book Darts. Paper-thin little metal arrows for marking a place and line you want to remember without dog ear-ing a book. 18 to a pack, I'm wondering how long it will take me to go through them.

And when I opened it (they're packaged like bookmarks, a thin plastic sheath with two rows set on the adveristing slip) I found the most perfect quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson used inside: "Sure he is that he read it there, but no one else ever read it, nor can he find it again, though he buy the book and ransack every page."

And having done the ransacking every page bit myself... *dead*

ETA: I have been gifted with Watership Down fic! *_* Go, go read here: The Story of Marli-hrair and the Black Rabbit of Inle
