ickaimpMade it back to Tucson, safe and sound. Had a bit of a sloth day yesterday, sat around watching the entirety of Yu-Gi-Oh! the Abridged Series while attempting to unpack and and do laundry. And discover how melted the chocolates were. ^^;;
Spent a wonderful day in downtown LA with Tdei and Daniel, a friend of hers who was flying back to England the next day. Wandered around the Flower, Textile and Fashion districts, going ga-ga over the fabrics. *purrrrrrs* Had lunch in Little Tokyo as well and dragged everyone to my favourite temple down there to get our fortunes read.Evidently this is a very good time for childbirth for me. *snerks*
Went back to Torrance to show Daniel my old school, where they shot Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Was amusing to watch him go into fangasams as he recgonised places where they had shot various scenes. Buffy's house is around there as well, unfortunately I don't know the address/exact location, so was unable to show people that.
Stopped by the Book Off again and watched people go nuts. Again.
Allie and Mati went to Tdei's house to spend the night and I spent a quiet evening at my Folk's house. My sister and her husband, kid and dog had gone elsewhere for the night and my brothers were out as well. Unfortunately, my stepmom's under a massive amount of stress and this made me an easy target to take it out on. *sighs* I can't win. I'm an 'inconvience' if I drop by, then she wonders why I don't stop by for years at a time... *grrr*
So spent the night over at my youngest sister's place rather than start fights. Spent the day with her until Mati and Allie got back to Torrance. Which, due to their own adventures, was kinda late. Dad called me up just as they got back, inviting me out to a Father/Daughter meal, which I had to regretfully decline cause we were leaving. ;_; *emo*
It took us 9 hours to Tucson, which isn't bad really. Got here at 2am. And! We found some more Yu-Gi-Oh! figurines. >D I now have Yuugi-oh, Jounouchi and Kaiba stuck in a bubble together. Is like a magic 8-ball three some porn generator. ^__________^
So Allie leaves today (woe) and on Friday we head to the Grand Canyon (yay). Have gotten Allie hooked on 'From Eroica with Love'. *cackles manically* I think her brain broke on the underwear thing. ^__________^

Date: 2007-06-26 07:44 pm (UTC)O.o they shot Buffy at your school??? Awesome!!!
*giggles* Yeah... everytime I've gone to NYC my Dad's had to sit downstairs in Book-off while I spent like... hours upstairs XD Is it sad that I find that more entertaining then going to see like... site seeing and stuff? XD (though the fact it was like across from the NYC Library with the lions and what not was almost as exciting XD)
^^ One of my friends doesn't like much manga (she's tried it and just can't get hooked) however she's in love with "From Eroica with Love" XD I must look into this ^^;;

Date: 2007-06-26 08:08 pm (UTC)My High School has been filmed at for lots of things. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrance_High#Filming_history) #^^# Was kinda of disappointed when we walked around, evidently no one's cleaned it in a few months, the place is a mess. >P
Makes sense, hanging out at Book Off. ^^;; We ended up making a grand total of three trips to Book Off, people kept having to go back to see stuff... *laughs*
The summary on wiki doesn't do Eroica justice. I found the art style took some getting used to, but the writing is just so clever that after a while you get used to it and it becomes hard to picture it in any other art style. ^___^
And best yet, it's like a time capsule, back to the Cold War days. All of a sudden, those boring history class stuff kinda comes to life, because Klaus and Eroica are living the intrique.
Allie's currently got to the 'Pope on a Rope/Eroica's got a souvenier from the Vatican' story arc and I think she's having trouble breathing.... >D
