So I now own Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All.
What I lack is a DS.
Oh, there is a DS I am occasionally allowed to play, but it sorta belongs to my youngest sisterand it's pink. So I've also invested in a DS of my own, the order for which was placed today. I can hardly wait!
Also: I re-read Good Omens yesterday. Only I'd forgotten just about everything, so it's almoust as though I was reading it for the first time. I have never before stayed up all night to get to the end of a book I've read before. I knew how it ended and I still couldn't put it down. I'll tell you, it didn't have as strong an impact on me back when I was thirteen, and I suspect that's because it was the Finnish translation back then. I know for a fact that Terry Pratchett's writing doesn't translate easily, and I suspect Neil Gaiman's doesn't, either.
Also Also: sketchdump on the way. Maybe tonight or tomorrow, depending on stuff.

Re: tl;dr warning :D
I wouldn't (probably >3>) buy anything pink for myself, but borrowing one? With GLEE ;DI guess Pratchett's books aren't too bad a source to learn english? ;)
Well, I've only read Neverwhere, Stardust and Coraline. And the comic Sandman, which was darker than any of those. And I think you're right about the deaths (I remember the first one way too well, yuck :/).
Also true. And I think I've noticed a difference in the "darkness level" in Pratchett's own books as well. My theory was that it might have a lot to do with the setting, and in some part in how real world-ish it is.
For an example, bad things happen in the books starring Death and his aquitances, but somehow the Watch books often seem darker in some way. Or maybe it's just all the crimes :P.
