I’ll fight that

Saturday, 20 September, 2003 at 3:05 am

I watched Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door Thursday, with Noelle. ^__^ (And since then I’ve had two separate mentions of Halloween. O.o One from SM00, I forget what for, and one from my mom today, talking about doughnuts she bought with orange and black sprinkles. “What am I supposed to do, keep it for a month and a half? They wouldn’t be doughnuts anymore!”)

Wheee! More Spike and Faye-Faye and Ed XD goodness! Plus hearing the soundtrack that I’ve been listening to for about a year now without having ever seen the movie. ^_^;;; That was cool. “Ooh! This song! *hums along*” ^-^

We made a stop at Mitsuwa on the way home. Mommy and I shared a “pork-flavored ramen” from Tampopo. XD And it was better than the other, a bit … still really salty. Not that that’s bad, I’m just thinking about my system digesting it. ^_^;; I also got her to buy nori in the market. (wheee, nori!! :D)

Then we looked at that “book” (manga) store. There was this huuge thing with GLAY on it. $50. Hm. o_o (They’re like full of pictures, or something, I don’t know.) The Ayumi Hamasaki one from some 2001 tour is still there, $15. And I knew no one else there. (There was a book on the top shelf that was labeled Brad Pitt. :b) Couldn’t find Gokinjo Monogatari or Paradise Kiss or any other manga I knew and was interested in (Inu-Yasha :b). The Ring 2 video is still there. *shiver* Must watch some time. ^^

Looked through Trendy (really, it’s the store’s name). Not much. Inu-Yasha DVDs, three, for $60. All-region coding, too. And subtitles. But … I didn’t want to spend that much money at the moment. And there was this Totoro doll, too. One of the smaller ones. It was so round and cuute! ^__^ Me want. But didn’t buy. (*can imagine SM00 hiding him as well* D<)

Then after dinner Mommy, Hidek, and I went to Westside Pavilion. I wanted The Sandman: Season of Mists and maybe some shirts, and Hidek wanted an Element hat. What we got: Element hat (black and red, oooh), Element t-shirt, and Vans t-shirt, and two pairs of shorts (Dutch girl style, as Mommy said ^_^;) and a Nirvana book for Hidek; larger purse (ish cool ^_^) to fit my sunglasses, The F***-Up, For All Time, Sorceress, Born Blue, and lastly, The Sandman: Season of Mists, all for me. No manga this time. *gasp* (And the string of “teen” books, I’ve wanted them all for a long while. For All Time since 9th grade or whenever. o_o)

I don’t know how much I spent … hopefully no more than $50. ^^;;; Oh yeah! Westside Pavilion has a skate shop. I never knew. They also have a PacSun that’s more LA-style (read: more coool :b) than the one in Thousand Oaks (i.e. upper middle-class x_x). I was actually beginning to think that it might not be so bad after all. :b~ Ooh ooh, and and, there’s an anime cart right outside the PacSun! *dances* Although it’s not as fully stocked as the one by Noelle (two shelves of manga and one shelf of DVDs *sniff*), it has a website! :D I still have to check that out. ^^;; Will do tomorrow.

Parting words … new layout (BoA ^^) at [STF (link to layout archive)]. I still have to make a new layout for IAT. And make the wallpaper site. (Or maybe not.) And divide Elsewhere into writing and images (I’m gonna rename EW “Ever Elsewhere.” ^^)

shopping buh

Busy day today. Whoop. I went to bed after 12 and probably fell asleep around 1, then woke up about 9 but kept trying to sleep. :b Mommy told me 9:30 breakfast was ready so ten minutes later I got up. After that … a mixture of doing homework/other “home work,” then went to the mall with Mommy ’cause I had this 15% off coupon for Waldenbooks, got The Sandman: The Dream Hunters (25% off! w00t! XD), Kare Kano 4 and Mars 3 >.> dunno why, then went to Claire’s to look for some watch I could attach to my belt or summing … no find, then Macy’s and Robinson’s May for Clinique stuff, which neither of them had, then Suncoast where I got Animerica, dunny why.

Home, then to Best Buy with Hidek where I got Chobits 1. :D $30, though. :/ Along with the … $35 at Waldenbooks and $5 at Suncoast … x_x Hey, I had a lot more money in my wallet than I thought. Hahaha. Oh well, no more spending. And another DVD to add to my “watch some time in the future” pile. ^^;; (So far it’s got Cowboy Bebop the movie, Count of Monte Cristo, Escaflowne movie … I guess with the Chobits DVD that’s four. Well, with the VHS I wanna watch too … but I’ve forgotten which ones those were. ^_^;)

Ooh! At Waldenbooks I saw The Wolves in the Walls! Writer Neil Gaiman, illustrator Dave McKean. Ooooh! It looked wonderful … but it was in hardcover, and I’m cheap. <.< Dave McKean ish good. I wish I could design covers and stuff like him. ^^. I also need to get Coraline. And Stardust. And the rest of The Sandman collection. :D Actually, at Waldenbooks … someone is cruel. Well, they got all these new books in. Except for two of them. They had 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and The Dream Hunters (which I of course bought). How could they not have the third one?! Wahhh!!! T-T Mm … well at least I have The Dream Hunters. :D Looks delish. >D Woonderful illustrations!

Mitsuwa, Ringu 2; tv, Ewan McGregor, RRK

Mommy and I got treats at Mitsuwa. We got nori and boro and rice candy. w00t! Except … they cheated me. ¬_¬ It saaaays “free children’s STICKER inside” and they give me a temp tattoo. Boo.

Mommy and I saw “Ringu 2” at Mitsuwa. Actually, I think that store is called Book Market or something. (It says “Recycle!” on their bag, haha.) Anyway. We were looking at the back and then Mommy put it back and as she was putting it back I noticed this tiny picture in the corner and I picked it up again and showed it to Momma and said, “That’s creepy.” It was just a picture of hair hanging off something with a white sheet covering the head and body. ^.^;; But it still gave me chills. >.> Yeah. I wanna see the Japanese version. Muuust haaave! Also the Animatrix. Hehehe. We watched the second one in multimedia. It was cool.

…

After dinner today I flipped through my favorites and Ewan McGregor was on the International Film Channel. I think he did an independent film recently? I’m not sure. It looked interesting, the little clip I saw … He said he doesn’t limit himself to just Hollywood films, he bases it on whether he can get excited about the script, and I thought … ‘He liked the Phantom Menace script?’ Well, maybe it looked good while it was on paper or something …

Oh yeah. I saw the last ten minutes or so of Rurouni Kenshin today. I saw what’s-his-name, the guy Noelle is talking about, the “12-year-old assassin.” :b Yeah, no kidding. x.x I don’t like his voice. I also don’t like Misao’s voice. Wai wai! I saw Misao today! Coool! :D (‘Cause Kaoru was such a disappointment :b) And people kept calling Kenshin a bum. Haha. Oh yeah. What’s-his-name. The guy who’s being called “Leader.” (I say, “Take me to your Lee-dur! :B” whenever I hear it. ^^;;) He had those two blades out of one sheath. Hehehe. nifty. Yeah.

Mitsuwa ramen

Friday, 13 June, 2003 at 5:04 pm

Mommy and I went to Mitsuwa, the one on Venice. ^__^ There’s a restaurant called Tampopo there. Haha! So cool. So I had my first real bowl of ramen (as opposed to instant noodles or something). I have to say … I like udon more!! >.> I dunno. My complaints are that the noodles were tangled (Mommy: You look like a bird. Me: I know! *tugs at noodles* Grr.) and that the shiru was tooo salty. Yuck. Made me sick. x_x But not too sick to go to other stores. XP

I got a BoA album. Yay! XD It has Every Heart and Amazing Kiss on it. I also like this other song … I don’t know the title of it. ^^;; It reminds me of a lullaby or something … Anyway. I also got origami. Not really fancy or prettyful or anything. I just liked the rather Japanese-ish designs on it. ^^ I was thinking of getting something like that anyway. Oh yeah. I saw Gokinjo Monogatari there. :D But I decided not to get it … I dunno. It said 505 yen. I don’t quite know how much that converts to. Around $5. ^^;; I didn’t want to spend money on it.

Omocha Box

Mama took Hidek and me to umm, first … I forget the store’s name. o_< It’s next to The Hobby People. Hah! I remember their name! *celebrates* So, uhh, The Hobby People was boring to me, because I’m not into that kind of stuff, but the other store was fuuuun! ^-^ Although perhaps a bit too much DiGi Charat stuff … *gets pelted by DiGi Charat fans* Um, yeah.

It’s bigger than Banzai Anime. Ehehe … ^.^;; And a wider selection … I mean … it had Japanese manga, not American published. And it had some DiGi Charat headgear which looked cute, and totebags (is that what they’re called?), and well, more stuff. *wonders how many more times she’ll start sentences with “and”*

I saw my Chobits poster there! hehe. Um, other items of interest: Sakura Wars regular sized (whatever that is) poster (but it had only Sakura. not that that’s a bad thing…); Cowboy Bebop artbook that I don’t have, and I don’t mean the Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door one, for $26, money I don’t have T-T ; and limited Cowboy Bebop CD-Boxes, for $120 each. *sniffle* I want that …

Ooh, I figured the thing about Banzai Anime! It’s supposed to rent anime, not exactly sell products! ^_^ *is happy she figured that out*
