At home.

[snarp]

1) Went to Barenaked Ladies concert with Mom, Dad, and thegeekgene. This is exactly the third concert I've been to in my life, if you count Sesame Street on Ice.

I will never again attend a concert without earplugs. I still hear roaring.

Mom says it wasn't really that loud.

1a) There was a Yelling Shithead (TM) behind us. He was a middle-aged man who was balding and had chosen to grow his hair long to in some way disguise this. He screamed constantly and derided the intelligence of his companions ("'Mediocre' - oh, do you know what 'mediocre' means?"), whose responses we could not hear. (Or, actually, I'm not totally sure those poor people were actually with him.)

He yelled "Nutshelllll!" at regular intervals throughout the concert. I was pleased that they never played it.

2) Dad owns a t-shirt with the election results printed on it.

3) Okay, I'm going to have to make my family buy a new monitor. This one is going to kill their eyes. I guess it's been kind of blurry for a while, but it was actually painful for me to read through my friends list just now. Urrrgh.

4) Joseph Beth in Lexington was having a huge manga sale. $2 a volume. I mean, the stuff that this applied to was 90% crap or random high-numbered volumes of series no one wants to buy all of - to give you an idea, I think about a fifth of the selection was comprised of volume 4 of Shaolin Sisters: Reborn and volume 18 of Samurai Deeper Kyo. But I still found eight things I wanted enough to buy, and I didn't even realize there was a second tableful downstairs until after I'd checked out.

* The World Exists for Me 1, Chiho Saito and Be-Papas - hahaha, I'd wanted this forever
* Petshop of Horrors 1, Akino Matsuri - duplicate copy, for evangelical purposes
* Chobits 4, CLAMP - because I'm going to want to read this eventually, there is no use in fighting the CLAMP addiction anymore, o I am slain, etc.
* Suki 1, CLAMP - yeah
* RG Veda 4, CLAMP - indeed
* Dragon Head 1 - I've heard people say nice things about this
* The Dreaming 1, Queenie Chan - internet people keep talking about her
* Jing: King of Bandits 6 - I liked the first 3 volumes, but stopped buying it because there was other stuff I wanted to spend $10 on more. (Apparently Jing aged sometime during 4 and 5? And he's kind of hot? (Am I a pedophile?) Darn it, now I'm wondering if I should read those first.)

(and also FMA 10 and Monster 4, not on sale)

5) Mom and thegeekgene are watching the Sci-Fi channel.

Mom: "It's - what are they doing now? Why are they running through a field?"

6) This seriously is hurting my eyes, I'm going go cook something in the properly-equipped kitchen I have access to.

I could have sworn it was Disney on Ice. Didn't a get a Minnie Mouse flashing thingy? Or am I thinking of something else?

It doesn't hurt my feelings at all that you saw BNL without me. Not at all. I'm going to Spamlot, anyway. Tim Curry is in it. I clearly win.

You could just hassle our cheap Jew parents into buying a wireless router, you know. I would appreciate it very much.

We went to some kind of Sesame Street thing, because there was a big furry thing that picked you up, and you got upset because it got fuzz in your mouth. (I remember we went to a special Disney restaurant once - for breakfast, because I remember a pancake with mouse ears or something - and one of us got scared of Pluto's tongue. I remember the Minnie sirens that made Mom think she was getting pulled over, but I have no idea where they came from.)

Everything we do is merely to irk you personally.

The wireless router will not prevent us all from going blind, but I will bring it up.
