Yesterday I hung out with my brother and sister. I took them to the conveyor-belt sushi place on Airport to (mildly) dazzle them. But we got there at 3 in the afternoon and we were the only ones there so the sushi had been doing quite a few laps by that time. Room temperature maki? Bleh. They still enjoyed it though. After that we went to go see "Shutter Island," which turned out to be much better than I expected (I had my doubts since Leonardo DiCaprio was in it). The first half of the movie I was thinking, "This is how the Silent Hill movie should've been. All it needs is fog!" The second half I was thinking, "This is Memento! We're going down the rabbit hole!" Yup, I was quite pleased with it.
After the movie was dinner, then idle chatting time. Everyone headed out at the end of the night.
Oh yeah, I managed to get a comparable laptop yesterday morning. I sprung for one about $100 more than my target, because I impulsively decided I wanted one with webcam capabilities. (Maybe I want to be a camwhore too!) I've been transferring my big computer onto the satellite laptop; it's been taking hours. And that's not even including the mega-database of porn. I'll be leaving most of that behind, I ain't got the patience to do all that downloading. Ha ha ha. Just the basics: anime, music, and cosplay stuff.
random tangent )
Today I've got to do tons of laundry and pack. Right now I'm pretty hungry but I've successfully emptied my pantry, so I don't have anything to eat here. I guess I've got to go eat take-out. Bleh. I'm kinda tired of that stuff. But I need fuel to get everything ready TODAY!

I got paid this week so I bought a little bit of fabric and guess what I've been doing all weekend? That's right, working on cosplay! This is by far the easiest mascot I've made; it's actually fun to work on it, it's that easy. I've been focused on cosplay so much these past couple days that I've been letting my household chores fall by the wayside, like laundry. So this afternoon I was all *sniff, sniff* . . . my socks smell funky. I guess wearing them 3 times is the limit. But rather than stop to throw in a load of laundry, I just took some scrap fleece and made me some patchwork booties. New booties = clean booties! Maybe with practice I can work my way up to making shoes out of animal hides and tire tread, like in Mad Max or something. The booties are ugly and too warm and too slippery on the tile, but I still like them. Now I can skate across the kitchen!
I'll probably watch the Superbowl tonight. Normally I don't give two toots about professional sports, but I did get talked into putting $5 into the office pot. So the possibility of winning money plus the entertaining commercials give me enough reason to watch.

I was out of clean clothes this morning so I threw a quick load into the wash as I got ready for work. Come 8 o'clock, the dryer was still going, but I had to get out the door. So I took the jeans out anyways and put them on.
Ooo, they were so toasty warm! On such a cold morning, that was fabulous! Then it became apparent that the pockets, seams, and crotch were still wet. And thus, cold.
But those first ten seconds were pretty good.
