*shrugs* Friday Five and Thursday Three. ooooold

1. If you could only choose 1 cd to ever listen to again, what would it be?
Mm … I don’t know … I suppose right now it’d be The Cardigans’ First Band on the Moon

2. If you could only choose 2 movies to watch ever again, what would they be?
Wait Until Dark, and Three Faces of Eve

3. If you could only choose 3 books to read ever again, what would they be?
O.O Okay, I thought the first two questions were hard? This one is completely inane. o_< I suppose … Lirael, Garth Nix; Keeping the Moon, Sarah Dessen; Dancing on the Edge, Han Nolan

4. If you could only choose 4 things to eat or drink ever again, what would they be?
Udon, ochazuke, shrimp, gyouza :9

5. If you could only choose 5 people to ever be/talk/associate/whatever with ever again, who would they be?
… Do I even want to answer this? Noelle, Mommy, Matt … Adam … .. …. … aaand … ….. Jesus? XP Thursday Three, even though it’s Wednesday and I’m lame and doing the old one almost a week after it’s posted. *shrugs* I’m bored. Even though I should be going to bed just ’cause I need the shleep.

Do you believe the general public spends less time watching television time due to time spent online?
I automatically say yes, but then I remember the people without internet access, and they’re probably watching just as much, if not less because of poor programming. So then I think no, but there are people who surf the ‘net instead of channels now, right? *shrugs* In between. Favoring the yes side. :b

Do you feel that surfing or creating for the Internet has taken from your television viewing time? Is that a good or bad thing?
Yes. It has. I used to watch maybe 15 hours of TV a week. Now it’s more like three. Four if you count the uninterested viewing of the TV that someone else is watching. It’s a good thing, people! I’m doing things with my mind now! *rolleyes*

Have many hours of television do you watch per week? Favorite show?
Hah. Three. XD Answered already. I suppose my favorite show is CSI … no WAIT! I forgot all about Monk! T.T How is that possible? I keep forgetting to watch CSI anyway. Monk is my favorite show right now. ^-^ Oh! But this Friday is the season finale. *weep weep* Such sad news.

laptop; Lirael; books, reading

Wheee, my laptop came today. :D It’s heavy. T-T And the case is heavy too. O.? Umm, Hidek turned it on. ¬_¬ And I don’t want to turn it off, cause … well, I’m not at the main screen, it’s a screen saying I have to read … stuff, and then press any key on the keyboard to say I’ve read it, and I don’t want to read it, so I don’t want to press keys on the keyboard either. And I don’t want to just turn it off because … I think that would be bad? ^_^;;

Um, did I ever say? I finished reading Lirael. Last Wednesday. ;_; Are authors allowed to do that? Make a whole long really good and juicy book, then make it “to be continued”??? Hmm, I don’t really mind, since it just means more goodness from Garth Nix, but still … when is Abhorsen coming out? :( *checks Amazon* “This item will be published in January 2003.” Wahhh!!! *sniffles* How will I live?

Oyeah, Hidek, Mama, and I went to Super Crown on Sunday, and the new ownership really really really … stinks. There were two shelves of sci-fi (two Star Wars books O_O) and the Young Adult and “chapter books” were still stuck together. >_< Seriously, does this tell me I’m supposed to move on from Young Adult? grar. They didn’t have Caroline B. Cooney, either.

So we went to Barnes & Noble, at the mall, and they didn’t have For All Time either. ;_; But I bought Episode Zero, Chobits 1, Crown Duel (double book version *dances*), and Witch Child. Born Blue still isn’t in paperback. *ponders* So, I read Episode Zero, and spent last night reading Chobits, then had a really weird dream that I don’t really remember. ^_^;

And Simpsons is in Spanish again. O.o What’s going on?

1:24 Mommy isn’t home yet. Wow, the laptop’s been on for quite a while …

Yaaaaay! I finally got to go to Barnes & Noble!! yayay! And um, if anyone was paying attention, no Mommy did not take me when she said she would, ’cause I didn’t have any money and she didn’t feel like lending me any. ’Tis okay, this way I got the books I’ve been waiting for for suuuch a long time: What Janie Found by Caroline B. Cooney, Dreamland by Sarah Dessen, and Lirael by Garth Nix. bweeeee! such fun, such fun!

They didn’t have For All Time though. :( I’ll just have to buy it off Amazon. :b Daddy told me Amazon lowered their minimum free shipping order to $49.99. From there I want Episode Zero, Chobits, X/1999, and Star Wars Ep II visual dictionary. Oh, and For All Time, of course. ^_^
