Morning guys.
Sorry to hear you're not haveing the most fantastic day tachi.
Voddas - sounds like you had a decent long weekend then. I always appreciate some manual labour, if I can do it leisurely. I wouldn't like to do it all day long though.
My long weekend was more eventful than what I first planned it to be.
Friday was ok, just chilling out, replying to posts trying to schedule flat viewings and such. Then Saturday came along with my trip to Brighton as a volunteer on the Asahi anime festival.
Had a great day, even though I've had to work most of the afternoon at the info desk, it was fun to meet more fans and even better to actually meet more fans that are past their teenage years. Oh, and I've also met Mononoke there. Only realized it was her after looking at her entry form for the karaoke. She is shy in person as well.
There were 5 marriages in the church right in front of us, I was really surprised to see so many groons and brides walking along the cosplayers.
Highlight of the day was this couple's proposal. The girl came to Decla, the artist working on the stall beside ours, and asked him to draw her proposing to her girlfriend with the words "will you marry me?". She also asked us to take pictures of all, but when I was about to take the pictures, her camera failed. :S
I've took the pics with mine anyway, until my own battery ran out.
After all the craziness, I went with the other guys who helped organized this to have dinner, chatted a bit and took the train back home.
On Sunday, my laptop start acting a bit funny, untill it decides to die on me =S
Of course that I can't live without a working computer, so off I went to get a new one at Currys. Got myself a red Dell and once I got home, I realized that I must be one of the few stupid people out there that buys a laptop because it looks cools, rather than looking at its specs. BTW, I haven't figure out it's specs yet, as I couldn't be bothered.
Then a friend of mine called me an asked if I wanted to go to the movies. I took her invitation and she decided to see Alice in wonderland, which unfortunately, was not being screening at the time on the reasonably priced cinemas, so we decided to go see The disappearance of Alice Creed. What an awful movie! It fails on its attempts to be too serious.
The gay scenes felt so forced in an attempt to give credibility to the movie that a few people in the cinema, me included, actually laughed at that My friend couldn't stop talking in the middle of the movie, which got a guy to telll us to shut up.
After the movie, we went to find a bar I've recommend that went out of business, then we went to antoher one that was closed until we settled for a bar called Zebrano in Soho. Nice bar, but a bit overpriced. My friend bought me a wrong drink, which was possibly the most girlie thing I've ever drunk. it was a pink martini with a cherry on it, when I actually wanted some rum drink. In any case, after a few drinks we ended up discussing relationships as we usually do. She is the younger sister that I never had and we've known each other since my teens, we have enough in common to go well, but for some reason neither never felt that click, you know?
Anyway, after quite a few drinks we headed home and met another brazilian guy at the bus stop. For some reason, we told him there would be no more buses to where he was going at the time of the night, so we convinced him to walk. One minute after he left, his bus came and we couldn't stop laughing. No we didn't told him to go because we were trying to be mean, it was just that at 2am in the morning we were not expecting the bus to still be running, as it wasn't marked as a night bus.
Anyway, got home at 3:30am, slept 3 hours and woke up for work. After work, I had a japanese lesson, which kept on talking abotu Tempura. So, by the end of the lesson I simply had to order some tempura, otherwise I'd crave it for the rest of the week. The driver got lost, so my order took an extra 30 minutes to arrive
He gave me a little discount as an apology, but that seved as little consolation for the cold Tempura.
