That was by King John from Disney's Robin Hood. Peter Ustinov was awesome.
So I went w/ J on our biweekly shopping trip (biweekly b/c that's how my weekend rotation for work is), and T came in when we were there. T had to exchange a book b/c he'd already gotten that volume of Naruto but didn't have his receipt and already opened it, and luckily Lin was there (which is the other reason we always go to Warp on Sunday). Still it wasn't very good for T since he isn't a regular regular there, and Lin was kinda looking tentative, so I went all friendly friendly to T (not that he's not already my bud, but just to emphasize my relationship to him), and so T was able to exchange the book no prob for FMA. Yeah, so after we left and T went thru my bundle (over $150 of books cause it was a biweekly haul and a lot of Viz came in), we were talking how Lin basically looked from T to me and back again to decide whether to cut T any slack. We've come to the conclusion that if T needs anything from Warp, he should come in w/ me, since I usually spend at least $200 a month there, whereas T usually spends $25. Same thing w/ J, although he spends more than T and is a regular there (b/c he comes w/ me and is the driver), he still uses my account for the GST discount. That's the kinda power trip I like.
But anyways, T walked us to the car, and J was saying how there are so many silver Corollas around so we always get lost, but he wanted to add PowerPuff racing stripes so we could find it. So T said "and maybe add some pink triangles?" And J's like "Yeah, that seems like a good idea." Basically T had to say that he should enter it into the Gay Pride parade, before J got it, and then he made some comment about PowerPuff stripes being manly b/c they beat people up. Talk about clueless. Ah, but it was good to see T outside of work. Sometimes it surprises me how much he looks like a guy, even though I've known him for over a year and a half. I guess it still shows why I sometimes still refer to him w/ the wrong pronoun, b/c when we were talking at work, and I was mentioning how difficult the operation would be for that big of a change, he told me to keep it vague b/c some people don't know, and I was kinda surprised. But it's not the sorta thing that you put into your introduction to someone. *sweatdrop*
Anyways X'mas shopping is done for the twins. Too bad the gift receipts don't last longer. They really should. Some of us do start shopping right after people's b-days. Er, well maybe just me. Oh, so I went to Wal-Fart. Saw Shawna there, and we talked a bit about work. And then afterwards J was like "Who's that? What was her name? You have so many friends, it's hard to keep track." I was going to say that Shawna's more an acquaintance vs a friend like T, but you know what, just let him think whatever. If he's going to be jealous, he's going to be jealous. The other day, I waited for T to finish, and told him that we had to pretend that it was me that was late b/c of a call and T found me instead. So T said that he should pinch my butt and then ask if I was going to his place like last night. While T shouldn't tempt me like that, I was giggling and said that J would flip. But T said that he wouldn't try it b/c J would probably beat him up and knew which apt complex he lived in, b/c J scares T. And I would agree, since when we were in Uni, and we were trying to study for a test, and J couldn't get it, he started banging his head against the metal railing. Hard. And it wasn't once, but like for a minute.
Anyways, I've spent enough today. Me poor credit card. Well I guess it's time to read my manga. I've had to move my Vampire Game into my Finished Series drawers, even though it's not quite finished, b/c I'm running out of space in my In Progress drawer. That's right, drawers. Malms to be exact, from Ikea. Drawers are more useful b/c they keep out the sunlight and dust, show the spines nicely, and you can use them for other things, versus the manga boxes that they were selling at Warp which only fit a certain size of manga. The Malm drawers are deep enough to fit the A5 sized manga (like Blade of the Immortal) and long enough for 2 rows. But b/c mangas are heavy (if you have enough of them!), you have to use the smaller drawers to fit them 2 rows deep. The wider drawers are only useful for 1 row, b/c otherwise I think the bottom of the drawer could break (it's just a thin sheet of particle board after all).
Oh, gotta feed the fish....*3 1/2 bloodworms later* So I still haven't really named it. Well it's either Fish or Stupid. I told T my dilemma, and that it was mostly swears I called it, so he told me to use the most common insult I have for it but to rearrange the letters. So far I have Diptsu, Pidtsu, Pitsud, Ditsup, Pustid, Dustip (which is very close to Dustox, but I hate insects)... maybe I should name it Magikarp. Both are useless, non edible, and takes a lot of work to make them evolve into something better. What's that Pokemon called in Japanese? I was looking on Wikipedia for Bulbasaur, Ivysaur and Venusaur. While I was at work, of course. I've used Wikipedia more at work when I'm on Duty Desk than at home. So Bulbasaur is Fushigidane, Ivysaur = Fushigisou, Venusaur = Fushigibana. Magikarp is ... Koiking. Hmm, more similarities, both can withstand waters that would kill lesser fish and used to be a more useful pokemon in the past. Hmmm... seems to fit quite well.
These reptiles, famous for their hard outer shells, spent their days roaming for food and relaxing in the water. As a turtle you are not very speedy, nor are you soft and cuddly. You tend to hide in your shell and you aren't much of a sprinter, but you are quite tough. You also happen to be as cute as you are fascinating.
