Note to self: Missing "Manga Mania" issues 3-8 & 16. Spares of 2 & 13-15. Also all issues up to #17 of successor "Manga Max". 04:47:29, 2012-12-29
Numbers 8 & are on ebay. *bid* 04:53:46, 2012-12-29
It's odd looking at these old magazines, the echos of memories. Also seeing where characters influenced the sorta person I'm attracted to. 04:54:42, 2012-12-29
Also found my few remaining Ninja Turtle mags. Wish dad hadn't thrown the bulk of them out. 05:02:38, 2012-12-29
Apparently Manga Max only ran for 20 issues, so I'm only missing 3 there. 05:09:20, 2012-12-29
Only issues on ebay are in the USA tho. Not prepared to pay £10 with postage an issue for sake of completion. 05:11:17, 2012-12-29

Apparently "Battle Angel Alita: Last Order" is still ongoing. As in he's still writing more. I've got up to book 9 but there's 17 atm. 22:35:24, 2012-12-29
Battle Angel started in 1990! 9 issues up to '95. Now 17 more in 13 years. Extended story fun, but after 23 years I'd like a conclusion. 22:37:15, 2012-12-29
It makes it feel less believable that Last Orders is "the ending he never got to write" and is more milking it to death. 22:38:05, 2012-12-29

Will dig in PC parts tomorrow. See if I've got an alternate cooler/fan for graphics card. Wondering how long it's been like this. :/ 02:11:38, 2012-12-26
