I'm going to be away for the rest of the weekend--we get back on sunday but I'm not sure when and I'm going to have a lot of stuff to do. . . so I'm not sure when I'll write next. could be a couple weeks, or even more. . . or it could be on Sunday--hopefully I'll be able to get on at some point.

We went to the mall today--very successful trip!!
1) We (me and Katie) bought Spirited Away! Woo hoo! I've wanted the DVD since we saw it in the theater. lol. We first saw it for $30, but our friend told us it was on sale elsewhere, so we got it for $20--only 10 each :D
2) I got to buy a comic book (again, with Katie's help--but she wouldn't have bought it if I wasn't there). Whenever we go there, the bookstore sucks me in (bookstores call to me! :D) and I always go and check out the comic book section. Usually they don't have anything that we don't, but today I found Nightwing: The Hunt for Oracle. We have the actual 4-issue miniseries crossover thingie that actually bore that name as individual comics--but this trade paperback also included several of the Nightwing's leading up to it, which we did not have, and which I'd never read. So I was vastly pleased. Especially because I've just been reading the Incidentals storyline, by nw's chick (I've finished! ::wails:: No more Incidentals to read!) and even though Tim is definitely my favorite (I seem to be alone in this), I was definitely turned on to Nightwing too :) Incidentals surprised me because it was a pairing that I'd never thought of and that surprised me (because of the age difference, mainly, and it takes place when they're a bit older), and it was really, really good. A little too much Dick worship and not enough Tim worship, but I take what I can get--aside from that it was fantastic!
Katie wants me to read Sea & Sky now. I'd started it before, but it never stuck, even though I enjoyed it. I've been reading Incidentals non-stop--and there are waaaaay less. Eh. I just like Tim so much!! :D
I also read the part in Crisis on Infinite Earths where Barry dies. :( I love Barry--my very favorite character! So I had to see his noble sacrifice. He's the best :D
3) We also got ourselves things at K. B. Toys. I got Digimon erasers :D and Katie got teeny tiny pens.
Oh, speaking of tiny things, we saw the cutest little dog! It was so small! It was sitting in the crook of this guy's arm, and then he sat down near us at the food court and the little dog was kinda wandering in the little area between the tables--it was so cute and fluffly. It was a little dark terrier or something.
4) Katie got herself some cool stuff--a bag with a Monet painting on it--very pretty, and this little round fluffy stuffed chick that chirps. It's so cute!
5) We bought our parents an anniversary card--20 years on May 15 :D

I think that's all. Huh. Everything except the erasers I bought with Katie. lol.

OK. I gotta go to bed now.

I have a lot of reading left to do, kinda. I'm taking some with me--as well as SAT practice tests. We'll see what I get to do. Uhm. . . (I keep trailing off cos I'm tired ;) I think I would have been able to work things out ok except for my sketchbooks. I have 3 more to do--and all when I should be studying for my APs!! Augh! And I'm not sure what to draw or how. My theme is Life. I want to return to it because I've been kinda just drawing what I want and then relating it. lol.
My art teacher is a pain in the ass though!! Augh! She's not easing up for APs at all--not only are there these sketchbooks, but she's also not giving us enough time to finish our latest project, so I'm going to have to come to extra help or something. shit. I don't like her. She likes me half the time and doesn't like me half the time. ::shrug:: She's a pain and she gives better grades to people she likes and lets them get away with a lot. I'm not going to get started on the copywrighted (sp?) characters thing. . . ::spits:: (figuratively)

ok. I'll pull through. I need to start working harder though--I've really kinda not been as diligent this vacation as I should have--except that I usually do most of my work in the days that are coming up, and I'll be away!! Very inconvenient. . . I wish we'd gone away earlier, but this is when Wellesley held their thing. ::sigh:: Oh well. I'll be ok.

:) I have a "website" like that--I use it to store pictures, sometimes photos, sometimes drawing that I want to post, and sometimes background images. It's actually a mac.com account, which is basically supposed to be just a gallery, but I wouldn't want to send anyone to the page itself.
