Meet me in the hotel lobby

Yes, yes, yes! ^_^ You know, despite missing the rare Blood Moon, I had a great night yesterday. I finished my Media Notebook and turned it in, went home and had some delish spaghetti, went to the mall and got my nails done (and as you can tell, I can STILL type! wahoo!) and then shopped around... I shouldn't have kept Grandpa waiting at Borders, but I wanted to get a candle and a bell for Halloween night... yes, I'm going to talk to my sister. I try to make a point of doing that at least once a year, and it's just easiest at Halloween when the veil is thinnest. Thing is, the bell isn't crystal, or even a hand-ringing bell. I have no idea where to get those kind of things. I went all around the mall, and the closest I came was too-expensive porcelain wedding bells at Hallmark. I settled for a christmas ornament with my name on it-- a typical jingle bell, but good for its purpose nonetheless. I guess. With my name on it, I can really make it my own, and focus my energy, I suppose. Still missing some consecrating oil though. I wonder where I put that eucalyptus oil?

After I got some candles (and the girl at the store thought I was 14! She saw the "I Voted" sticker from the AS Votes, and was astonished), a candle holder, and the bell at Robinson's, I swung by Amuse... no decent pins. Not even Robinsons May had any good ones-- all too expensive, the wrong color, or the wrong size. I guess I'll just be inking the ones I already have. :) I swung back to Border's-- thank goodness Grandpa didn't leave without me. I got HG#4, those Orbita Pens I like so much, and Mulan, the 2 Disc Special Edition. (It was on sale for $20, I couldn't help myself). I am determined to build up a Disney DVD collection! Waha! (And maybe this XMas I can finally beat my games, like Kingdom Hearts!)

After I got home, I watched Proof Positive and Kevin Hill (I <3 Taye Diggs!) and partook of some delish roasted, warmed yams! <3 <3 Then came time for my hair. I used this Herbal Essences hair highlighting kit, but I screwed up... kinda sorta. It's not a bad-screw up, it's just a "I don't look like the girl on the box" screw up. My hair looks good; the top layer is a blonde-ish red, and the bottom is my sorta-natural dark brown. If you knew me from the last time I bleached my hair, it's kinda like that, but mixed with brown. Even better, no sting! I watched Mulan while waiting for the color to set, washed it out and watched the rest.

I'm actually looking forward to Mulan II, even if it'll be a butchering of Chinese history (and all Disney direct-to-videos don't use the original actors, which is a bummer whenever you have great comedians like Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams). I'm actually tempted to check out some Mulan fanfiction...

Anywho, I look like a stoplight today (choir windbreaker + red pants) but I'm in a great mood. Did you know that the moon is aligned with Jupiter, Pluto, Uranus, and Saturn, forming a star-shape in the sky? This whole weekend (technically starting with yesterday's Blood Moon) is a very magical time, so stay in high spirits and be sure to enjoy yourselves this Halloween. I'm not sure if my comp will work when I get home, but if so, you'll all see some fics from me soon!

Then comes cookies, costumes, and... eep! San Diego!

And one final note... ( A review of Utada's 'Exodus.' )
