i_paint_the_skyHey hey, everyone. I have a lot to get through today, so expect to read a LOT.
Anyway, was too tired when I got in a 10 last night to update, so we'll start with what happened yesterday. I spent the day with one of my best friends in the world, Ria. She is crazy, and I LOVE her. Anyway, we went and had a nice meal at Boston Pizza and got to catch up on all the latest gossip (mostly about celebrities because we have boring lives =P) and basically talked for a LONG time.
Then we went to the AMC, and found that it was closed until 3:40, though I could have sworn the newspaper had showings listed for earlier than that, but I could just be crazy. So, we walked back towards Boston Pizza, to go to the comic store I just found out is there. I got to look through a magazine with some Fushigi Yuugi m-AAAAAAHHHHHHHH-nga (take that, Margaret'sKatie...who informed me that I was pronouncing manga wrong before) which was cool. And then off to Chapters.
Now, since Sackville is rather lacking of a Chapters, I had left my Chapters card with my mother while I was at school. So, of course, I didn't have it with me. So, I decided that there were only two things that I would buy, if they were there. One was the Gravitation manga vol. 2 (it wasn't there, but is carried by Chapters, so woohoo!). The other was the manga Episode Zero for Gundam Wing (it's a prequel...comes before episode one...he he he, I like the name). And, what should I come across, sitting on a table in the front of the store (marked as Children's Graphic Novels, but I wouldn't let a child read GW!), for TWENTY PERCENT OFF no less, but, you guessed it, Episode Zero. It was fate. So I bought it. And read it. It makes so much more sense after having SEEN the series...plus I love that it has the ONLY thing set AFTER Endless Waltz. Wow...my caps lock key kept getting stuck there. Oops =P
Anyway, after reading Ep 0 for a while, we went back to the AMC, and finally got to see some movies. We saw Big Fish first, which was pretty good, had an AMAZING ending (there goes the caps lock again). And then we saw Calendar Girls. I cannot say enough how amazing that movie was. It was so good on so many levels. Hilarious, because the British have the best sense of humour in the WORLD, but also really touching. It was just BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (yikes...caplamations)
So, after the movie Ria and I started talking about our plan to go on a trip to Europe after graduation. Yes, EUROPE!!!! We hope that our parents will make it our grad present, though we don't expect them to pay for it all. I can hardly wait though. We've chosen 4 countries we want to visit, though I'm beginning to think we may have to limit it to perhaps 3. But we want to go to the UK, France, Italy and Greece. It's going to be so amazing.
As long as we don't kill each other.
So, that was yesterday. My life got a bit interesting, didn't it? On to today.
Today, I watched Trigun. Dubbed. And discovered another Trigun/Digimon voice actor. Izzy's voice is the kid on the train-thingy (I'd already recognized ickle Knives' voice as being Tai's.) That was exciting. I also worked on writing and recording this song for the JC House Cup. Sadly, I'm such a perfectionist that the recording didn't really go that well. I'll try again tomorrow, I guess.
Um...anything else today? I got caught up on my soaps, I finally have clean clothes again, and that's about it. Back to boriness for me.
Oh well...I hope to work on some fan fic tonight, as well as get a hold of Elise so we can plan to see each other sometime. And that's my life.
Wheh...that was hard. And now I'm being kicked off the computer by my father. I want MY computer back :(
