Hey all...


Today was boring. I had no checks come in and very few charges, so I spent the majority of the day scrolling through TV Tropes all day.

We didn't do much of anything over the holiday weekend. Stayed home and watched the fireworks on TV. Played a few video games, ran some errands. That was pretty much it. It's OK though. Some days are like that.

Bought a few DVD's. Persepolis and Be Kind Rewind. The first one is pretty good. Very gripping. I watched it in French with the subtitles. I dunno how the English version is though. They got some of the same actors to reprise their roles, except in English.

I also bought volume 20 of Furuba and volume 29 of SDK. Both are nearing the end. I'll try to write up my impressions of Furuba at least sometime. I tend to slack off in that regard.

I finalized some plans with my dad for this summer. We're gonna be doing a lot of stuff in the few days we have. One day there's going to be an after wedding party, which I'm kinda thrown in the middle of, but since it was preplanned already...

I'll try not to let my "inner introvert" freak out too much, as Ysa is fond of saying. I don't do large crowds very well, even less so if it's with people I'm largely unfamiliar with. Needless to say, I never attended very many parties in my younger days.

Mom and I set up appointment to get massages and mani/pedi's the weekend before we leave (which happens to be the day before my birthday). I'm pretty excited. I've never had a massage that wasn't from Massage Therapy students. Moreover, my masseur is a guy! *eep* Name JASON! O_O I'll try not to wig out too much. Either that, or I'll turn beet red...

I've had, like, twenty windows open at once. "Hmm, what's a Lancer? What's The Paolo? Xanatos Gambit? Ohhh, Animorphs uses the Xanatos Gambit. Now what's the Xanatos Roulette? Oh, neat, Big Damn Hero. How would one Break the Cutie>" Etc.
