I spent too much money yesterday... not that I care overmuch, but still! ^_^ It was all Christmas money... Mom and I have a deal, I bank my paycheques but I can spend any other money. I suppose letting almost $200 dollars accumulate and then going to Toronto wasn't the worlds GREATEST idea... *laugh*
We went to the Eaton Centre first (Oh how I loathe that place...) But we were there early, so nothing was open. But, while sitting on a bench a Lord of the Rings commercial was playing on a TV, we kept squealing everytime Legolas appeared... we scared a LOT of shoppers...
Um, went to Music World after that... I had a gift certificate for $75... I didn't buy any CDs though... nothing I really wanted. But I did buy videos! LOTS of videos! I got "Labyrinth" (I've always loved that movie... *smirk* It's so fun!) "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" (Another of my favourite movies of all time... Mel Brooks rocks!) "Quest for Camelot" (This isn't the greatest movie ever, and I have yet to figure out why I love it so much...) "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (The copy I taped off of TV was getting old... I HAVE to own this movie...) and "Dragonheart"... you'd never think I loved fantasy would you? ^_^
We walked down Queen Street, Jess made us go in some scary clothing store she likes... we got to Kikiwai and, stupid us, it doesn;'t open until 1:30 *smacks forehead* So we wandered around to King and ended up eating at Shoeless Joes... *shrugs* I can't eat Chinese, which is what Jess and Janine wanted, so we hadta go somewhere relatively bland... I'm allergic to way too many food items.
At 1:45, we went back to kikiwai... I had $165 at my disposal! *cough* I bought the rest of Weiss Kreuz (I'm in love with that show) and the last two volumes of Cardcaptor Sakura, plus on of the Digimon CDs... can't remember which at the moment... oy.
I still had money though, and I felt the need to spend it ^_^ So we went to Fata, and I got the first four episodes of Trigun, and first four of Ayashi no Ceres and the first four of DBGT (I only wanted to see a few, I'm not gonna go and buy the entire series for this one...) Jess bought her fist anime video. *wipes away tear* I'm so proud... heh, she got the volume of the Fushigi Yuugi OVA with Tasuki's episode and Mizu Kagami... *shrugs* She overly loves those two.
I was lugging 16 videos and a CD around at that point... Oy. Janine got an Evangelion wallscroll, two more FY Sequential CDs... (She only needs one more now) and some other stuff I can't remember...
But those videos were heavy!! By the time Jessica's mom picked us up, I thought my back was going to snap! ^_^
Oh, when we stopped in the Silver Snail we spent a good five minutes looking at the Legolas action figure... are we sad? I thought so...
I watched a TON of Weiss Kreuz when I got home... still have nine episodes to go though... ^_^ OH! And there were three episodes in a row which directly featured Omi! Yeah! ^_^ I love Omi... ;)
I watched two of DBGT... the quality is REALLY bad... *laugh* There's a snippet from a Japanese mcdonalds comercial halfway through... oh well, I just wanted to see a little bit of GT.... I also watchwed the first Trigun episode, it was SO fun! *victory* I'm gonna watch the rest of it later... that's probably the next series I'm gonna try to buy all of ^_^
Went to The mall today with mom *sigh* Hadta clothes shop... I got two new pairs of jeans (And they're actually different! I normally wear these six pairs that are all identical... *laugh* I'm very particular about my pants...) a new t-shirt, and a new jacket/sweater thingy... I dunno what those are called... they're jackets because they zip up, but they're more like sweaters.... oy... the confusion.
I went to Comic World, but the old lady was working. I love her, she's SO nice to me... but she doesn't know anything. I was trying to order a couple of Slayers NEXT tapes, but I gave up. I'll wait until Bill Gates or Android 17 is working... I did get the new rentals for Janine, Jess and I though... Utena 3, Saber Marionette J 5, and Rurouni Kenshin 1 (I've only watched the first three so far, but I violently love this series!) I don't care much for the first opening theme ("Sobakasu") But The ending is Tactics, which I already had and I love ^_^ So it was all good.
Um, I got a haircut today. Nothing drastic, just cut it back to just above my shoulders again. Any longer and it's REALLY annoying in the pool... The girl was kinda rude though... she accidentally sprayed me with water, and didn't apologize, then wouldn't finish drying my hair... she didn't get a good tip, needless to say :)
I should be working on my English Essay... since I hafta completely redo it and compeltely redo all the research for my World Issues ISU... but I'm not *laugh* I'm best under last-minute pressure, you know?
I'm still workin on the new HSC layout... It's so fricking hard to make DBZ layouts, you know? There's a SEVERE lack of good quality pictures, and I can't draw fanart... I'm using one from my original layout, just changed the colours around... that's the problem with having a DBZ site... the layout has to be content-centered... can't be centered on an image 'cause there aren't any good ones...
I don't really love DBZ as much as I used to, though... sometimes I consider closing HSC... but I don't really want to... it's strange... *shrugs*
My Jyou shrine is nearly ready! I love Jyou! ^_^ My writing site is also nearly done, I'm getting pretty proud of the fact I'm actually FINISHING sites I say I will...
As for House of Hair... *sigh* We lost SO much work to my computer that it's gonna be a while before we can rebuild it... the Yaoi section was ready, a sectionc alled "Is that a horn on your head, or are you just happy to see me?" Was done. Something tentatively called "The room of KAWAII!" Was ready, and another section on bedheads that we hadn't titled yet... *sighs* It was so funny too! I was so proud of how funny we were being... (As opposed to how stupid we normally are.... heh)
Oh, I bought a pack of LoTR trading cards at the mall.... not sure why... I didn't get Legolas =( But I did get Merry and Sam... *shrugs* I'm not gonna buy anymore, I just wanted to try once... Oh, I also got the archer from Lothlorien.
I fixed the minor problem with my new domain layout... *beams* I love my new layout... it was a bitch to build, but I love it... plus Xellos looks insanely cute! This one's gonna stick for a while, since I love it so much ^_^
I'm probably gonna go watch more Weiss Kreuz now... the second... well not "half" of the series, but the second little story arc is pretty good so far... (Although, I have to yet figure out the deal with Omi's strange midrif baring shirt... was he stealing things from Yoji's closet or something? *giggle*)
I'm easily amused... ^_^
Ciao!
