So the postponed Birthday trip for my sister was put off until tonight. Friday night. Friday the 13th. Really, nothing bad even happened. There's too much hype on these Friday the 13ths going around.
Anyway, I hadn't been to Kingston in a few months, so it was nice going back today and seeing what had changed. It's a really nice city. :D Once we were out on the main street, we walked down past a theatre where I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw what was coming to the theatre in a month.
Urinetown, the Musical.
I think I scared my sister half to death when I started gushing out about how I knew all about the musical and that we would have to come back and see it. The only reason why I even know of it is because of Sherlock2040 who was kind enough to share clips of it with me. It's a brilliant musical and I do hope I get to watch it. :D I'm just slightly freaked out since this is one of the many times in my life where something is mentioned to me, and then later on it fully becomes part of my life, it's odder than anything but it happens a lot to me and my sister.
After my freakout on the main street, we made a move to a local movie store where I managed to find "The Great Mouse Detective" for $5 in the discount bin. Why it was in the bin, I'll never know! I've looked all over for it and was told it was rare! Lucky me, I suppose. :D
I bought my sister a few video games she'd been wanting and then we left that store and went to the "Indigo" book store across the road. Indigo is pretty much a brand of another bookstore in Canada called "Chapters", it's probably the most well known bookstore that Canada has. When we were there, I was asked for assistance and so I went ahead and asked the woman for "Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula".
I almost died when some guy behind the counter grinned and was like "Hey, that sounds familiar.... ". Sadly enough, the book wasn't there, and wasn't even available to order into the store. D: Seriously, if I can't get it there, then there's no bookstore in Canada I can order it to unless they don't have it already. I suppose I'll have to search lesser known bookstores instead.
I did get two "Self help" books that I've had my eye on for a while though. "Memory Power" by Scott Hagwood and "The Power of your Subconscious Mind" by Dr. Joseph Murphy. Flipping through this book I saw a passage on "How to use your subconscious mind to summon blisters." ...so that might be a chapter that I skip.
Now, I'm dreadfully tired and I think I will go off to watch the GMD before I turn in for the night.
