hung out with phil today.
i so would have done that sooner
except for the soreness
and the legend of zelda addiction

i didn't know if we'd do something walky
so i wanted to wait til i felt less sore
and i've been spending most of my time lately playing video games
we went out for coffee, and i told him about the whole medieval manor thing
and asked about the monkees, which he knows just as little about as i do
it was nice to hang with him, made me wonder why i don't more often
though it's probably because i'm no good on the phone
and therefore don't call people very often
and therefore don't hang out with people very often

so that was good.

it was so late in the week, though.
i told beth i'd call him soon, and here it is saturday
the day before she comes back, and it's the first time i called him
not that i did it just because i said i would
but i mean, i did say i would, and i don't want to seem totally unreliable
because i'm not, i wanted to invite phil to the picnic we were having that day, in fact
but i was sore, and just wanted to be inactive until that stopped
which, of course, i was not allowed to be

today, though, i woke up feeling better
which was great, because i was going to call phil today
achy, or unachy
i'll only procrastinate so long
and today, being the third day, saw me stop that
cause there's a certain point where just playing zelda for half the day gets pathetic
that's when you don't play so much, and get out to do something
which is exactly what i did today

so later, i told my dad how i wanted my room done
worked up an alright setup
then we went to wal-mart to see about beads for the bead thing.
or maybe i'll have a shower curtain or a regular curtain. i dunno.
didn't get those, decided to wait and see what kinda paint i wanted
then i can decide on the rug
and then i can decide on other stuff.

so anyway, i ended up getting stuffing for a panda i'm gonna crochet for erika.
again, i'm sorry it won't be ready for your birthday.
it'll be early for the next one, though, at least i think it will.
shouldn't take me *that* long, hopefully.
and i also bought "princess mononoke"
which is an awesome movie.
i hearts a good bit of anime.

it was the only one left, too.
i might do some comics in anime-style, if i can manage to draw it in a way that doesn't seem like crap (which i'm getting closer to, actually. i've got two anime panels in the last alf comic). i just can't seem to draw bodies anime-style. i'll have to work around that somehow.
i got an idea to do a large, adventure type thing in anime-style. i'd probably end up doing something comedic, but it's an interesting proposition, at least, me doing an anime adventure. this is my brain on princess mononoke... any questions?

well, anyway, i'm gonna get outta here.
good night.

mmmm... ryoko figurine...
how awesome is that?

anyway, the day after i bought that, i went to wal-mart, and i bought ocarina of time and majora's mask (i only went in to see if ocarina was there, and to buy yarn, but since i didn't see majora's mask at the toy store, i figured maybe i should get it, too). i should not spend any money until at least the 12th.
because on the 13th, i'm hoping phil and beth will accompany me to medieval manor with my family. cause the 14th is beth's birthday, and i think it'd be nice (we're going cause the 13th is my aunt's birthday). and then i get to go see the monkees with the gang on the 14th! yay! and that, surely will cost money, so i need to not spend what i've got. i will be so broke by the 15th. it'll be pathetic.

i still ache from just about everyplace.
it's not fun.
seriously.

so on the way into wal-mart
right at the intersection
my car stops working
(a sure sign that i, as i have expected all along, because of how they
kill everything else around, should not be going to wal-mart)
luckily, i was able to get out of the way of traffic just on momentum
and also luckily, some guys came to help push, just as i was telling my car how much i hated it
then some wal-mart guys helped too
after that, it was a matter of coasting into a parking space
so i had to walk home
again
which equals more ache
plus i slept wrong on my shoulder that night
making it extra sore for the 4th
a day in which i was suckered into going swimming
which is *not* laying around, letting things stop aching
in case you needed to be reminded of that
as i surely did not

and now i'm up way too late, and i'm gonna sleep way to long
which i'm not going to be happy about when i wake up
i'm so tired

i think i'm gonna go to bed now. good night, everyone.

two bloggies in one day? this be unusual!

anyhow, i ache like some sort of thing that aches a lot.
in the first place, it was from moving furniture for the past few days because of the friggin malodorous damp that placed itself all over my floor. but now, it's because of walking down to the plazas and back because i locked my keys in my car. and it was the plaza that was furthest away from my house (okay, so i'm sure there's a plaza somewhere in the middle of china or some other far off place that actually has that title, but of the two nearby, the one my car was stuck in was farther away).
see, cause i'd gone to the video place to see if my feeling about ocarina of time was right, and of course it wasn't, so i went to the toy store to see if anything was there. nothing in the way of video games, but i'll get into that later (well, there were some lovely gameboy games... pokemon silver, and the powerpuff girls games, i shoulda checked for the new zelda games, i don't know if they're out yet). so i went to the record store and looked around to see if there was anything nifty to pick up. i'm holding out for mink car, personally.
ok, so i'm walking back from the record place (i stopped into the pet store on the way back, and looked at the animals. they be cutes), and i reach into my pocket, and there be no keys. so i was like "i hopes i left 'em in the door!" but no. in the ignition. walked all the stinkin way back to my house, got the extra keys, and walked all the way back to my car. i don't really want to move furniture tonight. i'll prolly end up doing so, but i don't want to.
ok, bright side- at the toy store, i saw a bunch of awesome toys, but the only thing i bought was a ryoko figure thing. you know, one of those ones that comes with a pedistal and doesn't move much. it came with ryo-ohki, and in the process of getting her out of the package, i broke one of her ear tufts (just a note- i've read the information on both of those pages, and i think there're more reliable sources out there, however, i'm too tired to find them). i'll have to glue it. ah well, i have ryoko standing on my side-table, and let us not forget, erika is legal. and i have a bottle of root beer in my room. mmmm... legal erika and root beer. mmm.

while i was at the toy store i saw a couple things that would be perfect for beth's birthday, which is in 12 days (this being the 2nd). the toughest thing is to decide which one to purchase.
bob just informed me that there be two new gundam wing shows that are going to be on cartoon network rather soon. gundam wing (at least the series i've seen of it) is one of my favorite things ever. i hope these are as good. i love tenchi too, what an awesome set of series. i just wish i could both find and afford video tapes of the show that aren't edited like they are on tv. even if only to hear them say "sake" instead of "tea" when they're getting drunk. not that that bothers me, but, you know, it'd be nice for the butcher that is american tv to just let something be itself, pure and honest. of course, the country's way too stupid and conservative and... well, i'm not going to get started, cause i'll be here ranting all night. not that it wouldn't be a nice change from the horrid smell in my room. if people actually came to my house, and went near my room, they'd be mortified! it's not my fault, i just have to live in it, cause i don't know how to fix it! *sob, weep*
alright, time to go now. i'm thirsty.

today, in case you didn't know
is erika's birfday!
happy birfday erika!
her 18th. mmmmm... legal erika...
i've been legal for over a year now, and it hasn't done a thing for me.
it seems noone be wanties for me.

lauren- "no dan, everyone does! i do, though i be engaged! you be pretties!"

ok, so lauren doesn't talk like owlie, and it's usually me who points out that she's engaged. and i don't think she ever said that everyone does. i'd write a more accurate version, but i just realized that i can't so much do lauren-speak. anyway, noone wanties certainly not be the case for erika. i can see a fist fight breaking out.

okay, to bring the mood down from it's high and lofty happiness-
my room flooded in a recent storm. not a lot, but it soaked parts of my carpet (it covers about 1/3 of my room), and now my room must be rearranged, and the whole thing smells awful, and i don't know where to move things. the floor is still soggy! so now all my stuff is all in transitional mode, and i can find so few things that it makes me ill. okay, so the horrible smell of it all probably has something to do with it. not even candles or nice smelling sprays will help!

i'm getting some kinda presentiment about going to buy things today.
like if i go to the video place, there'll be something i want to buy there.
maybe it's just the money i didn't think i'd have now, since it's past the 27th, and i expected to go see tmbg again then, and thereby be broke now. i think i might go see whether that feeling is right. maybe ocarina of time will be in the for sale bin at the video place. i think i saw burgertime in the section with old school nintendo games. i want an atari so bad. someday, i will find one, and it will be mine!
i'm having issues with clocks today. i'm seemingly unable to tell if any of the ones in my room are correct, specifically the one on my stereo. i think it's right now, though.
another thing i'm feeling today, there's a sense of doom somewhere in the air. i don't know why. maybe it has to do with the drive down to the plazas to go buy things.

well, that seems to have made everyone sufficiently miserable.
but hey... legal erika!
at least *something* is right with the world! ^_^
