Exhausted!


All day Friday was spent in the company of my mother and sister, shopping for crap for my cousin's bridal shower and wedding. Around hour 4, I was starting to get irritated, but thankfully my mom and sister decided they had everything they needed except for the arras (couldn't find them), which shocked me because HELLO! We are in the Mexican-iest town in the U.S. Well, except Laredo, and frankly, with all the border violence, I'm not too pumped about visiting down there anymore.

Then yesterday was my last minute gift shopping, afternoon wedding at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens (lovely, even though not a lot was blooming except in the conservatory), hilarious minister that sounded like a cross between a Shakespearean actor and a TV Evangelist, dinner #1 at the Spaghetti Warehouse (good but slowest service EVER), wedding cake, and then a mad dash across town to my next party. I'm like the wind, baby!

At the Kona Grill, I sampled sashimi (fantastic), some nigiri sushi (adequate), and sparkling sake (tastes like a flavorless champagne - I loved it). Then we went back to the birthday girl's house for ice cream and cake (she is an admitted Narutard and had a picture of Neji screened on the cake...LOL). Then we sat around, gabbing while I tried not to die from all the crap I had eaten.

Came home around 10pm, returned a couple of phone calls, and fell into a deep and blissful unconsciousness.

The end.

I can has MOAR anime?


I swear I am going to behave after this, Budget. I will not cross the line again for at least one or two months. BUT. When the Best Buy down the road is on the list of Best Buys that are discounting their anime, you must ACT. So, I did.

All the anime was 50% off, so I got the following:

Beast King Go-Lion, 3rd collection
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, limited edition
Negima!, complete collection
Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid, complete series
Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles, season 1
Code Geass, season 1, parts 1 & 2 (I am going to give it another shot)

I did show restraint - I actually put some stuff back. ^_____^

*sigh*

I made Japanese curry tonight. Yummy, but no matter how little I make, once all the meat and veggies are put together, they expand somehow and suddenly I have enough to feed a family of six! Seriously - I used ONE potato, half an onion, a handful of baby carrots, and less than a pound of meat. Now we will be eating curry for days to come. Not that I am complaining, but I would really like to learn to cook something without making leftovers.
