no one's dead yet

[cornerofmadness]

I made it home. Today mom decides we're going shopping. Okay my least favorite things to do but if she's buying...I snag two sets of pants and a skirt at 50% off from Kaufmann's (sort of like Macy's) and insist we go to halfprice book store which sells used anime (picked up Boogiepop Phantom 2 &3...haven't seen one mind you but at under 8$ each I couldn't pass on them) and insisted on Barnes and Nobles (Picked up some more manga, Legal Drug by Clamp and Bleach)

My cousins came out today and seemed to stay forever so I got nothing else done writing wise, or test making wise sigh. However later I made my parents watch Howl's Moving Castle. Mom liked it. Dad just kept saying 'this is too bizarre.'

and now I'm exhausted and heading off to bed.

thank you. it is a challenge

Coincidentally, I showed my mother "Howl's Moving Castle" a few nights ago as well. She wants her own copy now, plus she's watched "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Spirited Away." We're corrupting our elders. Go us!

sadly i only have Totoro on a ratty old (like 10 years now) VHS taped from japanese tv...i could show them that and watch their heads explod.

Hope you survive the holiday, and if you don't, remember, easter has always been the gory holiday anyway. :)

excellent point

speaking of parents who like things we dont' think they will - did i tell you i lent vols 1 & 2 of Preacher to my s/dad? This was the week before the cyclone, and mum told me later she found them in the linen cupboard, and when she asked why, he said he wanted to make sure they were protected during the cyclone cos i would have killed him if they got wet or damaged. Very true. However, when he returned to them to me, he said "When are you getting the next one? I'll buy it!" Heh heh. My s/dad likes Preacher.

Oh and I bought Gravitation 1 & 2 online and should be getting them soon. Funniest thing - they refer to "him and her" on the blurb on the site. Heh.

that's funny about Preacher, relaly.

and that's even funnier about Gravitation since yeah there's no real 'her'

If he think's Howl is weird, try him on Triplets of Belleville.

i still need to see that one myself

My Dad's still not sure what to do about my anime fixation. *laugh* Well, neither is the rest of the fam.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

my dad's like they always look the same. Why do they only have one face type?

I was checking the FMA dvds I bought to make sure they worked and Mom says, "Is that by the same artist that does all the girls?"

It took a few seconds to realize that she meant Miyazaki and I said, "No, Ma, different studio. Same country, though."

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well they do tend to draw things very similarily

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yes. We had that conversation, too. *laugh*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes
