(no subject)
Back home for break. Time zones are a bitch. On the plus side I got a 3.47 GPA, which is better than I was expecting after a few first-term fuckups. And I'm finding it really hard to not gush about potential spring break adventures (SARA IS THIS STILL A THING THAT CAN HAPPEN?), because if I do my grandmother will lose it and start babbling about money and be Very Disappointed, and I can't anger her when she's footing so much of my school bill.
I have missed being cold. And I have missed rain and snow. And I have missed knowing what the plants and animals are. And I have missed good food. The people I spent Thanksgiving with are not as good cooks as the usual suspects. And I have finally, finally, FINALLY gotten a new pair of winter boots. They haven't arrived yet but there is so much coincidence involved it can't not be fate. I went looking for the same brand as the old ones and surprise! They have a model called the Ellery boot. Shit=lost. And then, to top it all off, they had one pair left in my size in the color I wanted. If these boots don't fit I will be very disappointed in chance. I have also acquired a red sweater and some grey dress pants. I just need a blazer and my Ellery Queen costume will be complete. And then there's also this gorgeous vintage dress, at least 50, probably over 60 years old.
So I got in Saturday afternoon, and then that evening I went to Hobbit. It was... mmm. It was paced like a book, which would work if it was a book but it's a movie. So, definitely a bit slow. Sylvester McCoy was perfect though. Absolutely. And of course my exhaustion led to some very bizarre dreams. Detective Conan meets the Hobbit set in this weird Minecraft-like world. Gandalf was this senile old wizard that Saruman was keeping on a tight leash, and Kaito was trying to get him back out into the world but Gandalf was actually legitimately unstable so he always ended up raising enough of a fuss for Saruman to come running and berate Kaito. And Saruman and Nakamori were working together to catch Kaito Kid. And there was this movie that had a jet pack hang glider in it, and Kaito just dropped hints around Saruman that it would be super cool if it really existed, so Saruman built it and then Kaito stole it. Meanwhile Shinichi and Heiji were roommates at 221b, and Shinichi had somehow come into posession of the One Ring. Shinichi ended up helping Kaito and at one point gave him the Ring to help him escape unseen. Heiji meanwhile was all "you guys are crazy" and just sort of existed in the background, and the only times he really raised a fuss was when Kaito decided to fuck with Shinichi because Kaito.
