.:reflections of twilight:.

Annnnnd, today starts off our 'Veronica Mars' quote week. Today's is from Season One Episode 2 "Credit Where Credit's Due." Man, how I love Wikiquote...

And let us start things off with a nice ol' weekend outline, shall we? I know you just peed your pants in all the excitement.

Friday:

Movie night! We watched POTC in order to prep ourselves to see the second one which just came out. Plus, it's a fun movie to watch. Orlando Bloom can swash my buckle anytime...

Saturday:

The majority of the day was spent... in pajamas. Exciting, eh? But we cleaned ourselves up and prepared ourselves for dinner with some friends of ours. It was very nice. The food was good and the company was very pleasant. We stayed until almost eleven. We talked, we saw some photos from their honeymoon as well as the proofs of the wedding pictures. A good time was had by all...

Sunday:

Morning was church. OomA wasn't there like last weekend. *siiiigh* My old boss was there though. He hadn't been to our church in quite some time, so it was kinda nice to see him there (along with his lady friend).

Afternoon, we stopped by the storage place and dropped a few things off. Next weekend sometime we're gonna have to take out our sleeping bags since there's gonna be a local ladies retreat two weekends from now. Thing is, they're kinda buried underneath a bunch of stuff. I sure hope we don't have any more we need to put in there, because it's almost filled to bust already.

We then went to get a few things at the grocery store and then we made our way home.

Most of the afternoon I spent catching up on my FL and reading some. I read vol. 9 of the FMA manga, and I will say this, I was really disappointed in Roy. I'll go into further detail on my Greatest Journal (which I've decided to transform into my anime/manga journal. Nothing against ryudoshi, but I dislike having to sign out of this account and resigning into the other one. Too much hassle, especially since I use this one more). I will say this, though. Ed has some of the greatest expressions of any manga character I know. Three panels of him expressing his extreme nonverbal displeasure of discovering Ling is the same age as him yet about a foot taller. Hee!

Today I need to go and pick up my prescription and that's about it. I want to try to conserve gas, so I'm not driving any more than I have to. Oh, and my "Check Engine" light went out. We discovered it was probably from emissions, so we switched to a different grade gas and it seemed to help. Good! It saved me from a $75 diagnostic fee!

Trivia of the day: California sea otters spend almost all of their time in the water. Alaska sea otters often sleep, groom, and nurse on land.

I'm waiting for a phone call to tell me that my car's been fixed. Hopefully it'll fall under warranty so I don't have to pay for it. *crosses fingers* So I can't take my shower just yet until they call, because knowing my luck, they'll call while I'm in the shower... It shouldn't take too long to fix, but I know nothing about this sort of thing, so who knows.

We got quite a bit accomplished yesterday. My aunt and I were in the kitchen mostly doing the cleaning (it was the dirtiest). I cleaned the dryer, the refrigerator, the dishwasher and wiped down the cabinets while my aunt concentrated on the stove. It took her quite some time to do it, too. It was pretty dirty. I think it's because it's a gas stove and natural gas tends to leave residue everywhere, which is one of the reasons I like electric. She cleaned the stove top, the hood, the filter (nasty), the oven, the oven racks, the broiler, the broiler pans and the stove pans. A very time consuming job to say the least. While we were doing that, my uncle was cleaning most of the rest of the place. The master bathroom (mostly the shower), the windows and vacuumed. He also switched the shower head in the master bath. It may not seem like a lot written down, but it was. We have to go back on Wednesday and do some finishing up, mostly the counter tops and the floors. Plus we have to turn the keys in by then. It'll seem so strange to see it completely cleaned out and empty. And after Wednesday, I'll never go there again. That'll really seem odd.

I got 'Lady and the Tramp' yesterday. I'm not supposed to tell anyone, so that's why the small font. Shhhhh...

Hopefully today I'll be able to get more reorganizing done for in my room. I need to go through some of my magazines and cut out the articles I really want to keep so I can toss the rest of the magazine. They're taking up a lot of extra space...

Trivia of the day: The dog and the turkey were the only two domesticated animals in ancient Mexico.

'Howl's Moving Castle' is released today!!!
