Just had to share

Went out with my friend Roberta and through a series of misshaps, wound up sitting in the front row (only two seats left) of the movie Pursuit of Happyness. And, wonderful message/heartwrenching depression aside, that movie? Was like 75% Will Smith running. Jerky, moving cameras. First row. OMG, the motion sickness! I had to keep looking down so as not to upchuck. I glanced over to Roberta to see her doing the same thing. We laughed about it the whole way home. Urp.

BTW? Will Smith crying? Made me sob every time. Good job, Will. Good job.

In happier news, JP bought us the coolest toy EVAR. It is so wonderfully awesome that I can't explain it. Go get one and see for yourself! Tell me it doesn't remind you of every cheesy-cool sci-fi you watched as a child. ^___________^

Odds n Ends

I forgot to mention it, but my parents, JP, and I are taking a cruise in a couple of weeks. Woo, much-needed and well-deserved vacation! Anyhoo, we will be gone for a week, Saturday to Saturday. I hope my parents like it - dad doesn't always do well in new situations. *crosses fingers*

And then, today, I found  out about this.  Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go!!! It happens on the day we return, but since it starts late, there is a decent chance I will make it. Assuming everything goes on schedule and they don't move the time for the event. Etc, etc. I wonder what I should bring for the mangaka to sign? Since she had a hand in the manga and anime, I guess I can bring my one douga set. *grin*

In other random news, I am waaaay behind in my DVD watching, especially anime. Netflix has been making a killing off me for the past couple of months. Pooh.

I have also been hankering to redecorate the bedroom. But that's moola I just don't have right now. Actually, it might not be too bad: I really just want to shove the dresser in the closet, replace the computer desk and night stands, and buy a new bookcase. *cough* That's almost nothing, right? If I got exactly what I wanted, I could bring it in for under $550. *swoon*

Focus, Melissa - there are toilets and cracks and dead grass to deal with first.

Um. Okay. I'm done. Night all!
