Jun. 9th, 2010 07:08 pmThis week has been a bit oncoming-train somehow. I have a test tomorrow (which isn't something I Must Do Brilliantly On but which has registered in my brain as A TEST OH NO SKY WILL FALL anyway) and a doctor's appointment on Friday.

I also went to the SF bookshop, because I just can't help myself, and used my last bit of birthday money to buy Yoshinaga Fumi's All My Darling Daughters.

( Thoughts )
I might come back and pull apart the stories and what I thought about their ideas in more detail some other time. But then again, my attention span...
