I’ve been sooooo out of it lately.
Wednesday: Went to the mall w/my dad (weird). He spent his EBX gift card on a joystick and FF7 for the comp (which cost $5!), and somehow the gift card ended up being for $50 instead of $30. We spent too much money at the music store, but the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack and the Matchbox 20 CD were for my mom. Dad got a Jeff Beck album and I got Moby’s Play. Picked up my car from the shop.
Thursday: Went to school, homework went over ok. Went to Red Lobster to eat w/my parents, hit Starbucks and the video store. We rented A funny thing happened on the way to the forum, keeping the faith, and charlie’s angels. We watched Funny Thing last night… I hadn’t realised it was directed by Richard Lester!
Friday: Er, that’s today, I guess. I keep thinking it’s Saturday. Slept in, went to the mall with Ash. The WB store and the World of Science stores were closing and everything was on sale, so we bought stuff there. I got the kid’s red/white/blue Quidditch jersey for 40% off, and a new monkey and a wizard’s hat for 60% off. Ellie suggested Ringo for the name, which I think is a good name for him.
Um, what else? Cath – I’m getting the rest of CardCaptor Sakura, so you can watch THAT and not CardCaptors. They skip episodes and jump around way too much, and change a bunch of stupid little stuff.
Oh, we started on my Selphie costume, and got the fabric for my Beatrix costume. The trick with the Beatrix costume was finding something the right colour that wasn’t see-thru!
I ordered the Utena movie soundtrack from AnimeCastle earlier this week, and today my box came… with the wrong order inside. I got Richard Stone’s Silent Hill soundtrack instead. I was sooo tempted to keep it, I’ve been wanting that. But, I want the Utena CD more, so I emailed them and, as always with AnimeCastle, they were very prompt and courteous. I sound like an ad.
Tomorrow is going to be busy. We were supposed to go see “Just Visiting” tonight, but it got moved to tomorrow. (if anyone has seen that, tell me if it’s worth the trouble, eh?) So tomorrow, we’re going to go get lunch, go see the movie, come back to my house, take new pictures of the costumes from last year, and then go out for my mom’s bday. We’re going to Nagasaki, you know, one of those Japanese places where the chef cooks at the table. I can’t remember how to spell what they are, but I can say it. Originally it was just supposed to be me and my parents and Ash and her parents (Ash’s mom and my mom have the same bday), then we invited my aunt Na and Kristie along so we’d have a full table and wouldn’t have to sit with strangers. Then my grandparents somehow got invited, and now my uncle, aunt, and 3 cousins are coming along too. It’s a regular party. We had to get 2 tables. And then of course, Sunday is Easter, and we’ll go over to my other grandmother’s. She made spaghetti just for me and my cousin :3
My aunt & uncle came back yesterday, so I’m not watching my Kevin anymore. My aunt brought me back a gorgeous silver bracelet… she didn’t have to do that! It’s nice and simple, just the way I like jewelry.
Last thing I’ll babble about. Our final project for illus class we get to choose: either 2 CD or vinyl jacket designs (we have to do the whole thing, the cover, inside and back), a movie poster, or a beer box with the beer labels. My first thought was to do a new Utena movie poster. I had to do a movie poster back in early 99 for my first illus class, and I did the Utena movie for that. That poster SUCKED which is why I never put it up, but I came up with something cool for the new poster (it does help that I’ve seen the movie now). I was sitting there thinking about it as the teacher talked about the project, when suddenly he said “No animated movies!”
ARGH!
But BUT BUT!!!! I found a loophole! HAHA! I can still use my idea, still use the Utena movie… see, the reason he said no animated movies is cause he wants us to use the actor’s faces, ya know. Sooo… I’ll just use pics of the actress who played Utena in the live musical >D *laughs evilly*
