First day of school...

Oh, how I don't miss it. Of course, once I get into the workforce, I'll not have summers off. That's a mite dissapointing, but I can deal.

Not much happened this weekend. Both mom and I were lazy. We just stayed inside on Saturday. I watched 'Pride and Predjudice'... again. Love it! Sunday we went to church and did our errands. I bought some coolant, but we're gonna recruit some help in getting it in the car since we have to drain the radiator and all sorts of stuff. So no going anywhere for awhile. *sigh*

Well, 'TriMax' 6 is out and so is RK 17 and 'Saiyuki Reload.' Man, where is everyone getting these? Why do my bookstores have to be behind on everything!

Since I don't know when I'll be able to purchase my 'SamCham' DVD's, I'm taping the episodes since they're being re-aired on [adult swim]. But I do definitely plan on buying them eventually. I must get my fix of Jin... *droool*

Some more memes I came across. Don't worry, they're not surveys or anything...

So I guess this is a good opportunity to use my Snape icon again, eh.

Oh, and you simply must check out the 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' summary on [livejournal.com profile] m15m. It's a side-splitter.

Ahhh, I see. Well, that's sounds pretty cool. Did I mention I'm the Minister of Magic? *sticks out tounge*

See, I just got OotP in paperback. I really need to get a reading marathoin a goin' but time likes to run aways from me. I try not to spook it, but...

Sure. Go ahead and use it. Just keep in mind that I, being a dutiful Auror and all that, may steal it...for the good of the Order, you understand.

I think I did read that when you posted something about it a few weeks ago, or at least I *think* it was the same site.

Minister of Magic, eh? Nothing wrong with that. If I recall correctly, the Aurors actually work for the Ministry of Magic. And it isn't nice to stick out your tongue.

If you haven't listened to any of the Potter books on tape, you're missing real entertainment. One guy, Jim Dale, does all the voices of all the characters - over 100 of them - and he does them well. We both got engrossed in them.

Fine. Fine. Just keep in mind I didn't make it...

Cool. I just want to pimp it out a few more times since it's really cool and all...

Who are you, my father? Oh, wait. Never mind... j/k

I think they're on CD too. Well, one of these days I'll read 'em by gum!!

*shakes fist in air in defiance*

Consider it swiped...One of these days, I'm gonna have to have you give me a primer on how to make those things.

You must be thinking of Darth Vader. That's a whole different fantasy.

They are on CD, but those cost a lot more. You'll get 'em read. I have complete confidence in you.

Just give the props to [livejournal.com profile] cleolinda.

You should check out [livejournal.com profile] potterpuffs. The girl who runs it makes images of the HP characters rendered like The Powerpuff Girls. It's really cool!

To make some of mine, I use the PS 7 you sent me (along with massive help from [livejournal.com profile] icon_tutorial. A lot of the ones I did I through trial and error.

This one I used is one I made a few months ago. Before that, I pretty much sucked. I next want to try and tacle animated ones.


Oh, I know I'll get them read eventually. I'm reading quite a few books at the moment... a-heh.

I used to make icons in Paintbrush. They were pretty crude, but they worked. Trial and error isn't all bad. It's a great way to learn.

I probably shouldn't tell you this, but at the Elkhart County Fair a couple of weeks ago, there was a vendor there selling all kinds of trading cards and the like. He had a whole bunch of them with those Anime characters on them that you like. One of them I remember was Fruits Basket, which I've seen you mention several times.

O_o


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[identity profile] dbates.livejournal.com 2005-08-11 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
So you're saying I should have bought them and sent them to you?

[identity profile] snapdragon76.livejournal.com 2005-08-11 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
*blubbers*



*lower lip wibbles*

I forgive you though...

[identity profile] dbates.livejournal.com 2005-08-11 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorr..eeee!!

Gosh, I didn't realize this would be so traumatic for you. Glad you forgave me though.

If I ever see them again, I'll see about picking them up for you.

Why thank you. I'd appreciate that...
