I met this guy Matt at Natashia’s birthday gathering last month. We’ve been trying to find a time to hang out for about three weeks now so I could be exposed to the brilliance and AWESOMENESS that is Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Seriously, friends, if you get the chance to see it, I totally recommend it. Especially for Kris, since he’s all about the FF stuff. (Incidentally, has anyone seen/heard from him lately? Is he directing Street Theatre again this summer? I haven’t “heard” from him on the comments lately. Then again, I haven’t from Grant either and I’m fairly sure me Da is alive and kicking. Anyway…)
Advent Children is truly a thing of beauty.
It was late last night that we got together so it was no surprise to me that I missed the last train. I considered hoofin’ it back to Imazato, since I’d done it before and I didn’t really feel like paying for a cab. I was wicked tired and all and I knew that I was supposed to go shopping with Darya today.
Matt can be pretty persuasive, however, because we ended up watching another movie. Appleseed was all right. There were parts in the movie that seriously pissed me off in the way that only I can be pissed. Suspension of disbelief and the like.
Since we were up, we figured we may as well stay that way. I mean, I was a mere two hours away or so from first train. We weathered the rain to 7-Eleven (yes, 7-Eleven…except they don’t have any Slurpees) for some Red Bull. I was pretty happy that they carried the stuff. I mean, thanks to Melany, I know the joys that is the liquid Smartie flavored beverage. How do you think I made it through my last semester as a college student?
Matt’s a pretty good ol’ guy. He hails from Australia and definitely knows his movies. We got to talking about video games, a dialect of geek I freely admit I’m about as fluent in as I am to say my Nihongo — although at the rate things are going, between Jacob and Matt I’ll soon be speaking it quite eloquently.
I couldn’t believe I stayed up the whole night. It was pretty fun.
I was pretty tired when I got home, of course. I told Darya that I wanted to sleep a little before we ventured to Shopping. (We’ve decided that since so many people “go to shopping”, it must be a town or something.)
The plan got a bit hitched when I got an e-mail from the comic book store in Sannomiya. I had the dude put aside 52 and Civil War and we all know how I frequently lack patience. Thus, Darya and I headed out that way first and then returned to Umeda for some shopping.
Has anyone else noticed that I’ve started shopping for clothes once a month? Is this at all disconcerting to anyone else?
Woot! Got me a letter from Vicki of Wau-con-da today! AND seashells from North Carolina!
Score!
Once a month is good turnover time; new stuff’s bound to be out, so you’re not revisiting the same old threads (which would be indicative of either high boredom or high addiction to clothes shopping - neither good) and yet not too infrequently that your wardrobe stagnates and you find yourself realizing that you wear the same thing every time you see a certain group of people or do a certain activity.
Can you tell I’ve put too much thought into a rhetorical sort of question?
hmmm… Vicki/Jessi just made me want to shop… but not until I finish writing my long ass email to Jessi.
Chris is alive but pretty busy. He is workin with 4 of my students, so they keep me up to date on him.
Yes! No shopping for Chris until she writes me an e-mail. Much needed e-mail. TeeHee.
mmmm….liquid Smarties……coulda used some of those last night….stupid writing stupid final exam stupid summer schoool *grumble grumble grumble*
