current mood: drained
Finally back from another long day out. I'll still be busy tomorrow, since I have something to get done for school and grocery shopping.
Anyway, the weekend was a lot of fun. On Friday, the actual day of my birthday, I was shopping in the city with my father. It wasn't really for my birthday, just that he had the day off that day and was planning it anyway, and invited me to come. Still, it was nice because I got to have a Jamba Juice, and I just love being out there. I miss living there. Too bad nothing really went in my favor when trying to transfer schools.
As for gifts, I got two of the R2 Battle Spirits DVDs, volumes 1 and 13. I also got a truckload of cards, including some that I particularly wanted. I've never actually played the game (partially because I don't have anyone to play with) but they're kinda fun to collect, especially the ones used in the show for fannish reasons (ie: I got J's overkill X-rare, the card I jokingly dubbed months ago "the symbol of Card Sensei/Eight OTP" and a ton of Smile's original deck.)
Today I went to the Palisades Mall, basically my most favorite place. It was fun, and I got all the food I wanted (more Jamba Juice, TCBY, Cold Stone Creamery, a salad from Blimpies.) Unfortunately, the Kinokuniya was a disappointment. Usually it's great, and I actually can find better things here than the one in the city. However, they didn't really have anything I was looking for. I thought of getting some of the Railgun manga to spoil myself on the anime (speaking of which, episode 10 was an awesome birthday gift) but I figured I should just save my money, because I'll find out eventually. The art isn't as cute as the anime anyway. Also, they used to have a lot of open samples of the magazines and artbooks, so I could skim through and see if something would appeal to me. The only magazines they had open though were either ones that had things stolen from them or no articles I was interested in. I'd rather not buy something on impulse without knowing the content, so I decided to pass on any of the rest.
I can live with it, obviously, but I missed Battle Spirits this week. Hope it shows up online soon. I spoiled myself on 2chan though. I know the character designer for this series is different, but why did they change Seven's hair color from blonde to white? The mascot character's hair is also blonde. Unless it's Ko-Galaxy instead, but I know it's not. He still looks pretty, but it'll take some getting used to. Regardless, I should not be more excited about this than this. Sick, twisted pairing is sick and twisted.
