Well I ordered a new computer. The shiny new MacBook Pro high end 15' model with the processor upped to 2.8 Ghz.http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/ My totally awesome parent's are footing the bill for the majority of this amazing machine.
I also ordered Doki Doki Majo Shinpan! used from eBay for about 10 dollars + shipping. This is the infamous witch touching game. Play-Asia is having a special on the sequel by the way.
My SAL box from CDJapan came with my LB! long strap, it is indeed quite long unlike most other cell straps from the Japanese market, I can fit both hands through it comfortably. The cloth strap is decorated with the baseball chibis of all the main characters, girls on one side, boys on the other. It comes with a metal charm of the teams logo also.
I also ordered Re:Package, Hatsune Miku's first commercial album, all musical performance by livetune. I might have actually received the sold out first press as it came in a fancy hologrammed box with such kanji on the label. (First press bonus is a caramel box what ever that is) I will update this post when I listen to it so check back :3
UPDATE : Fun electronic-style music. Unlike many albums I actually like all of the songs. Recommended

Deep red clouds, memories too, they leave and flow far away.
Ringing bell, fragments of you piece by piece
Become a clear tomorrow.
Buried beyond the stars
Staring at space I walk, a single light
Alone above the moon but
Running to the end of the spiral
You said we should be able to laugh after we cry
Don't let our journey be forgotten.
To lose nothing magic is cast, not saying goodbye
Someday we will walk again.
I cannot forget the disappearing silhouettes as the street is dyed by the setting sun.
From that tall place I can see you off with our promise.
Tomorrow, we will link hands.
Fluttering in a rainbow breeze,
The place I am going cannot be found.
The far side of an unknown dream,
bewildered Alice, going to that kind of place.
Words that cannot convey through the end won't do,
Our journey is again a forked road.
But still, when you wake up it will disappear.
I smile with all my might as I see you off.
Words that cannot be found and our promise that cannot be fulfilled.
Things like a never-ending end don't exist.
You still don't know and I still haven't said,
However surely we cannot return.
You said we should be able to laugh after we cry
Don't let our journey be forgotten.
To lose nothing magic is cast, not saying goodbye
Someday we will walk again.
Japanese
茜色の雲 思い出も二つ 遠く流れていくよ
響く鐘の音 カケラ君と一つずつ
明日は天気になれ
星の向こういけるかな
空見つめて歩く ひとひかり
月の上 一人でも
螺旋の果てへ 駆けていくよ
君は泣いたあと笑えるはずだからって言ったんだ
僕らの旅 忘れたりしないよ
失くさないよう魔法かけて さよならを伝えない
歩き出すよ またいつか
消える影法師 街は染まる夕陽色 思い出せない
高いこの場所で見送る 君と約束
明日は手を繋ごう
虹の風になびかれて
見つからない僕は どこへいこう
知らない夢の彼方
戸惑うアリス その先まで
伝えられなかった言葉を 言えたら最後にしない
僕らの旅 また分かれ道でも
それでも目覚めて消えてく
精一杯の笑顔で見送るよ 君のことを
ずっと探せない言葉と 果たせなかった約束
終わらない終わりなんてないこと
君は知らないままでいて 僕も言わないままで
だけどきっと帰れない
君は泣いたあと笑えるはずだからって言ったんだ
僕らの旅 忘れたりしないよ
失くさないよう魔法かけて さよならを伝えない
歩き出すよ またいつか

Computer, do me a favor....
Well as some of you know, the body of my compaq presario 2104 had a failure in the wiring a long while back. To my joy, my sister's much abused old computer of the same model (she got a new one because "it made funny noises) could still turn on. (Mind you this was prime time to buy a macbook) So my hard drive was swapped.
Now we are at the end of the macbook cycle, as in "updates as soon as 7 days from now according to popular rumors". End Of Cycle. Of course now my parents want me to get a new computer not wait for the new model.
But I am determined to ride this piece of shit at least another week. (It's well over 4 years old)
Problems with this PoS in chronological order
- I UPGRADED it to 512 RAM.... and that's as many slots as it has....
-USB port 1 : physically destroyed by my sister being dumb and leaving computers with plugged in USB devices on couches
-Headphones port : cuts in and out due to manufacturing defect (also evident in my dead body but much less severe) I tape the cord to the body at an angle to hold the port correctly
-PCI slot : broken (for wireless card since internal is crap) I sit with a cord running from my wireless router to my computer....
-Right click trackpad : Sometimes works sometimes not, sister's cat sitting on said sisters lap and trackpad when sister used said PoS
-Keyboard : Only two keys missing: [ and ], just kind of fell off one day.
-Charging port : At first it heated up to not let me unplug the charger, now I can only use my sister's old one as it won't fit my targus one anymore (my compaq brand on broke long ago). You could lift the laptop by the charging plug when it was hot. Now the charger doesn't unplug from the computer. Ever. So its become shaky and doesn't work all the time.
-USB port 2 : Inconsistent but mostly not working. causing the coolerpad to not work leading too.. Probably because it became the port sister left USB devices plugged in to and then left on couches
-OVERHEATING : I've burned my self on this thing... this causes the charger problem too as something in the port swells around the plug or something...
So lets all pray for new MacBookPros on October 14th okay?
(Since I've been wanting a mac for about three and a half years...)
and remember... Friends don't let friends buy Compaqs

Kamikita Komari PVC and a Kudryavka Cup, Domo too
Toyslogic box came today. Aki and I are going to do a photo shoot of Komari so no photos now.
She is super hard to dissasemble (to get the plastic protector sheets out of between pieces) but shes amazingly cute. She has toenails! Absolute favorite 1/8th figure I own. The essence of moe. SPOILER on color changing "secret" : panties change from white w/ red stripe to lavender w/ no stripes but I was too lazy to wait that long with the hair dryer so I got to lavender with pale stripes. ^^:
The Kudryavka cup I ordered on a whim. She is very nice looking and I am about to go make a cup of tea after this post. See her here: http://www.hlj.com/product/CSP31421 (you can backorder her here too but I am not fond of HLJ)
Lastly, I got a little envelope from eBay. The completely sold-out (in San Diego at least) Domo Reuseable bag from Target. It folds up very nicely and has two pockets. I also got the Domo Target Gift Card (empty) because noone sold just the bag.
