The wanderer returneth (more or less)

Am hogging an internet kiosk in Narita terminal 1 to speed-read the flist (I've been here for a good hour and am only up to last Wednesday), because I'm an arse like that. It only gives me 800 seconds to finish typing this post, and either my nails need cutting or I've really forgotten how to use a keyboard in my two weeks of not doing so. Also my luggage is too heavy for my string-bean arms, i.e. customs/terminal change at O'Hare is going to be hell. But never mind that. What I really need to know is:

1) Is anyone going to see Wong Kar-Wai's 2046 in the very near future, as I cannot do so because the universe does not like me and it's only going to wide release on the 28th, even though the press premiere was actually in Shanghai a week ago and I could have pulled tickets if I'd only FOUND OUT ABOUT IT EARLIER ARGH?

2) For various reasons, I am even more obligated to watch Juuni Kokki than I was previously. You have another hour to tell me which (if any) of the novels I should buy for reading post-anime.

EDIT -- Okay am off to do productive necessary schtuff like buying manga weeklies getting food. Next post from Montreal if not crushed by suitcase. x_x
