Dude, vacations are so much more fun when you do things during them. Also, you could replace the word "vacations" with "relationships" and you would have a similar assertion from me.
In summation, as my camera is big and does not travel well, and thus I don't have a picture summary of the past week and a half:
1. Furniture building is fun! Can I build it? Yes, I can!
2. How the Hell did I ever live in a twin bed? Granted, sheets are more expensive now, but man! How did I survive?
3. Kamikaze Girls is very much fun. Viz, when did you get so awesome? Release on DVD and soundtrack on CD soon, plzkthx.
4. I don't think they're actual giants. But they might be. Whatever they are, they're good in concert, especially when it's free. Also, TMBG has apparently been around since 1982 also, and thus I feel kinship.
5. DDR is ferior to Pump It Up. I will still waste credits at Dave & Buster's on it, though, as I refuse to lose to a machine. Kasparov won, I can do it too! Similarly, piles of little crane-game stuffed animals are cute and comfy.
6. Downstairs roommate is not as awful as former roommate Jen would have had me believe. She does however have her own set of problems.
7. Word Wars is a pretty dern good documentary about the Scrabble-obsessed. Now if only there were some show about those obsessed with the Pursuit of Trivia.
8. Terry Pratchett seemed like a lovely gentleman, and I'm sure he was very funny, but the only book of his I've read, I didn't like, and while he was speaking, my nose was buried in the new Arkham Asylum GN.
9. You'd think orange roses would be harder to find, but they're not. Not that I'm complaining, because yay I heart having orange roses in my room. Though they're kind of dying now.
10. Goth clubs are fun, especially as they play music I like, I can dress how I want, and everyone's got their own style of dancing/is too wrapped up in themselves and friends to notice other people, so I don't feel like a total spaz on the dance floor.
11. Nintendogs is not worth all that money to get a DS. Nintendogs is not worth all that money to get a DS. If I keep repeating it, perhaps it shall sink in. Nintendogs is not worth all that money to get a DS.
12. Having a Denny's to just the two of you at 1am? Bliss.
13. Discovering the Palisades mall? AWESOME. (shit, I'm a Jersey girl now, aren't I?)
14. Showing someone Utena and trying to answer perfectly innocuous innocent questions without giving anything away? Really fun.
That's it for now, as my sleep schedule is all over the map, and I'm waking up at 6am to get to work. Oy vey. Remember, 9/19 is "Talk Like a Pirate" day, so keep at it, mateys! And now, an unanswered question from this weekend:
If you're a furry, but not a vegan, does this involve some bizarre form of cannibalism? Discuss amongst yaselves.

Nothing beats explaining to out of staters what's exactly in there. "Want to go ice skating? Ride the ferris wheel? Let's go the mall!"
... now I want to go back to the Rainforest Cafe.

Date: 2005-09-19 01:32 pm (UTC)Also, Good Omens, which he co-wrote with Neil Gaiman, is one of my favorite books ever. The basic idea is that Armageddon is upon us, the Antichrist is born, and then there's a mix-up, and he gets raised by the wrong family. World-ending hilarity ensues. I strongly recommend it to everyone I know that reads for pleasure, to the point where,when I worked at B. Dalton, I felt like I should have been getting a commission on his sales.
