Fullmetal Alchemist Pocketwatch

I got this pocket watch off eBay a while ago. Of course I don't think it's a real one for the price I paid but that's beside the point. It serves it's purpose and I'll but a real one in due course.

Exterior with chain.

Interior. I don't really like the actually clock bit. It ticks and when it's really quiet in the middle of the night, you can hear it.

I'm not entirely sure what the date inside should be.

Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 9

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 11

Some people wouldn't believe me when I said the dates were different. There's the proof. So.. what should the date be?

Vampire Knight Manga

Yesterday I received yet another package from The Book Depository. This time, it was my Vampire Knight Box Set which contained volumes 1-10 and Vampire Knight volume 11. I'm still surprised this place makes a profit with their dirt-cheap prices and free shipping. It's also amazing that the books are in such good condition. I'm actually very excited to receive the 13 remaining books in my order.

Vampire Knight Box Set Volumes 1-10

RRP: $120 approx.

Cost: $57.82

That's what the books looked like inside.

Vampire Knight Volume 11 (Newest Release for the series)

RRP: $15-17 approx.

Cost: $8.15

The box set comes with an exlusive Day Class Planner. I'm not really into it but the more hardcore fans probably would be.

Since I have no other volume 1s to begin with in any other series, I'm going to start reading this first... unless my Cardcaptor Sakura or Shakugan no Shana.. or The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya arrives. I have to read a novel for English first though. The problem is every time I start English I start procrastinating a lot.

Kuroshitsuji Volume 3

I had the most boring and slow day at school. We had Swimming Carnival and the best part was the cheering but other than that it was super boring. I went to Liverpool Westfield and ordered a biology textbook and bought two English study guides. How boring. I also got some liquid chalk from Spotlight for $1. What a bargain.

The main thing is when I got home I received my first book from The Book Depository. I was quite a surprise since I wasn't expecting it to come this soon. It arrived in perfect condition considering the fact it was shipped in a bubble wrap envelope and I had read many complaints about damaged books. It totally made my day.

I haven't actually read it yet but I have watched the anime and I really liked it. I'll start reading the manga when volume 1 comes in the mail. I'm expecting Cardcaptor Sakura, Shakugan no Shana and Vampire Knight as well. SO EXCITED.

PS. Can you see my awesome MK&A book underneath? :)
