Info dump and then some!

...ya know, ashleymouse once told me on a day that I didn't update my LJ that if I didn't post here, she didn't know what was going on in my life. This was said while we were sitting together eating dinner, of course. But yeah, I'm starting to kinda fail at posting here. *is probably bricked by everyone going WTF?*

L'anyhoodle, yesterday my mom proved that she is really awesome. See, we'd rented some movies from Blockbuster, but we kinda returned them late. They said that we needed to return them by Sunday at midnight, or else we have to pay for the movies. So Mom took them back on Sunday afternoon. Monday, we all come home and find a message on our answering machine detailing that we owe them the buying price of all these movies.

Needless to say, Mom was on the phone pretty damn fast. I missed the bulk of the conversation, but I came back upstairs to clean Kaito's fishbowl, and was accosted by my mother in the kitchen. She said, "Did you rent a movie called Find Me Guilty?" Now, I had not, and started to say that I had not, but Mom starts nodding her head up and down really big, so I figured I was supposed to say yes, and so I did. And then Mom asked me if I found it in the middle shelves or around the edge of the store...while drawing a square with her finger, and so I said, "Around the edge." Then she asked me where it was, and I pointed to the kitchen table--I'd seen it sitting there earlier. And then she went off and talked to the guy for another minute or so before hanging up and telling me I did a good job.

Apparently, she'd told this guy that we'd returned all our movies, and he found all of them on the shelves...except that one. Well, after raising hell for a while, Mom realized that she'd rented it on Sunday when she took the other movies back. Well, she couldn't very well say that after giving this poor guy such a hard time. So she said that perhaps her daughter had rented a movie and not said anything. And lo, I saved my mother from a severe case of Footinmouthitis.

I am a good daughter :3

Yesterday, went to a jazz competition with the high schoolers. Had a great time, and got to hang out with the students. A couple of them are real sweethearts ^_^

I have been very productive lately on finishing some projects that may or may not be stuff I'm going to send to people. Speaking of which...I haven't seen fyliwionvilyaer online lately--I just wanted to make sure the package I sent got there safely >.>;; If it didn't, I might cry. But yeah, stuff is getting done :D

Oh, and I have discovered a new anime. It is called Ghost Stories. Thus far I've only watched the dub (which I understand is quite different from the sub), and I'm actually enjoying it. They seal a ghost by chanting, "Kutabe, kick the bucket! Kutabe, you can suck it!" over and over again. And the closing theme is called Sexy Sexy,, so much love there :D

And finally--and this might be a long shot--but does anyone happen to have an mp3 of the song "Que Sera, Sera" lying around? That might be willing to share it? We're looking for it for the elementary school program ^___^

I'll have to check out Ghost Stories - sounds interesting, and that chant totally rocks. Lately I've been starting to watch Blood+ (also dubbed, unfortunately - hey, it's on the Cartoon Network). It picks up after Blood: The Last Vampire.

Glad school is going well and that you've bonded with some of the high schoolers. :D

Ghost Stories, in it's original Japanese, can basically be described as a kinda-lame children's show. When they did the dub, basically they told the voice actors to adlib whatever they wanted. Hence why the dub is so freaking hilarious. XD

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

:D Especially when the actors actually start making fun of each other/themselves!

"He's as crazy as Chris Patton!"
"Or Greg Ayres."

Both were voice actors on the dub. Plus, the ghost stories themselves as a whole lot different than anything we've got in the States, so I'm enjoying that aspect *is a devout lover of ghosty-type tales, yes*

I saw a poster for Ghost Stories at Drunkcon Vision-Con. I remember I thought I wanted to see it because the art style reminded me alot of Yu Yu Hakisu(sp?).
Sadly I missed the showing of it. So you bringing it up gives me hope.

...I'vev still never been to a con D:

I think you'd enjoy it--if you ever want to borrow it, you're welcome to. After I finish watching it, that is. I've got the whole series :3

Moohaha...I see your icon and MATCH IT WITH MY OWN!!!

Oh, yes, Ghost Stories is a lot of fun! I even have the full closing song if you are interested. I have, oh, the first 8 ep fansubbed and haven't watched any in years. You might just get me back into it.
