This weekend was decent. Friday night, everyone in the house went to see New Moon, cause it was playing for free at the Union. As I expected, this movie had much more angst than the last one. That didn't mean it wasn't lol-worthy though. The over dramatics were laughable. I never want RPattz to show off his pasty vampire abs again, thnx. I decided that I liked movie!Jacob more than book!Jacob (though I'm sure he'll be just as douchy as book!Jacob was in the later movies). I felt sorry for him. Also, Alice is still my vampire girlfriend. She's such a cutie.
Saw some friends this weekend, too. We went over to Alie's apartment on Saturday night for a little get together, where we played some games and watched some movies. Then, Jamie crashed on our couch Saturday night because she happened to be in Bloomington for grad school related stuff. We all went out to lunch the next day. Afterwards, in what was probably the highlight of my weekend, we stopped by Jamie's friend Kyle's house to play with his puppies! Kyle and his boyfriend have a sweet cocker spaniel and a rather excitable boston terrier. I miss having a dog so much while I'm at school.
On a different note, this weekend I decided on my new cosplay for ACen. I'd been waffling between choosing Joker from Kuroshitsuji, Vincent from Pandora Hearts, or Chane from Baccano. I was leaning towards Chane because her costume will be easier and less expensive for me to make. Then, Friday night, I had a dream that I was Chane (and I was marrying Claire, win). I figured this was my subconscious telling me to go for the Chane cosplay, so that's what I'm going to do. I'm excited and wondering if I can't poke one of my friends into cosplaying Claire.
Also, started watching Durarara this weekend! I've been enjoying it a lot so far, even if I am still trying to figure out exactly where the series is going and what it's doing. It's from the creator of Baccano, so I have every confidence that it's going to turn out completely awesome! It makes me miss Japan, especially Ikebukuro, something desperate though. The series is set in Ikebukuro, and as I watch it I can sometimes recognize exactly where the characters are. They walk by a lot of the same places we did everytime we would go to Ikebukuro. It makes me want to go back there.
Midterms start this week. I've got two coming up and a third take-home midterm due a week from today. I'm unhappy about the take-home midterm though. It's for my Gender Studies class. It's supposed to be a 8-10 page essay. I think it's unfair of my professor to expect us to write something that long and that important in a week's time. We were only assigned it today! It would be okay if we had a longer time period to work on it, or that was one of the only things I had to do this week, but it's not. Ugh. I'm already looking forward to spring break and it's still about three weeks away.
