Bring the hankies.


*sobs*

Today wasn't so bad, actually. I came across a few issues, but I was able to work through them.

And I discovered there's a community dedicated to guys with long hair. longhairedmen. I've actually considered joinin' since, even though I'm not a guy with long hair, I still like 'em. Earrings too. As long as they keep it clean and nicely trimmed. Nothing scraggly, thank yew!

I got FMA 14. I haven't read it yet, but something happens in it I'm not overly fond of, I'll tell ya that.

I have an eye doctor's appointment next Friday. I want to get contacts and possibly a new pair of glasses. The ones I have now are serviceable, but I think I want frames that are a little more... hip. Plus, perhaps a pair of prescription sunglasses.

Word of the Day: gourmand
Pronunciation: /gor-MOND/

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.

Well, I was successful in my hunt for a cell phone cover. It's plain black, but it serves it's purpose. Kureno and Hatori are still on there, but they're nice and protected and as long as I know they're there, that's all that matters. And Hello Kitty is still able to peek out from the top.

While I was at the mall, I found the hat I was looking for. I really like it. It looks kinda... jaunty. It's really cute. I also bought 'SamCham' vol 6 (anime) and FMA vol. 5 (manga). Not a bad haul if I do say so. When I was in Best Buy, I got to play with an Ipod Nano. The lust for one is still there. I tried looking for the 'Veronica Mars' First Season set, so I could price it, but it wasn't there. Also, the copy of 'Serenity' that was there was the Full Screen version instead of a Widescreen. I want it in Widescreen.

On Antiques Roadshow last night, a guy brought in a set of insense holders... in the shape of the 12 animals of the zodiac! I was very good in containing myself, since mom would wonder why I'd be so freaked. They were made in Japan in the mid-1800's. The appraiser said they'd probably be worth between $6,000 to $8,000! Cool.

Well, I have some CD's I need to burn and I also need to load the Money program so I can access the info I need for taxes (ugh).

I will also be camping out by the mail box waiting for the tatsudoshi necklace flamika sent my way. *vibrates with excitement*

Trivia of the day: The world’s largest and finest natural green diamond is the 41-carat Dresden Green. The Dresden, owned since the 1700s by the Electors of Saxony, is surrounded by white diamonds in gold and silver settings.
