Last day of AnimeExpo (Part 5 of LA Trip)

This is a backdated entry...Um, I'm actually trying to clean up my desk, and I figured I should get this posted since this was all typed up from when I had no Internet access in September. Of 2008, which was over a year ago. Anyways, the joys of online diaries!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
10:00
It’s all shopping today! Breakfast at IHOP again. Order the Red, White and Blue this time. It’s pretty good. The waiter was there again but didn’t serve us. They must love us there. We’re non-disruptive, patient and give good tips. The manager remembered us just the 2nd time we went there. Today I’m wearing simple high ponytail with the angel wings barrettes on either side of it, and my jean shortalls w/ black rib T. Gotta be comfy to shop!

14:00
Okay, break for the Deux raffle. Man, am I obnoxious now. When I couldn’t hear the guy calling the numbers, I immediately yell that to him. Well at least we can now hear in the back. And the frontliners also repeated it for us too. Anyways, didn’t win anything. Also nothing won at the Vampire D panel. That’s okay. This other guy who had tons of tickets won 3 prizes, 2 which were the same. There was a bit of grumbling when that happened. Darn, they close the Dealers Hall at 3. Shop, shop, shop!!!!


15:00
Okay, well nothing to do now except head back to the hotel and grab food. Took some pics of the convention and with P-chan being there. It was hard finding a semi-clean area to place him on. I want to get my own digital camera. I just love posing P-chan and all my plush in different ways. They’re just too cute, and expression-able. But it’s sometimes a huge challenge to capture w/ the camera what I can see w/ my eyes for angles/closeups. So I guess I would need a higher-end camera maybe. Anyways, I should’ve taken pictures on the first day of the convention b/c it was completely packed.

Got some map info from the concierge. H gets money from the ATM. Head to Macy’s Plaza for shopping. Two Latinos checked us out and commented to each other in Spanish. Apparently, I’m the cute little Chinese girl and H needs more ass. LOL. Nothing for earrings at Macy’s. It’s kinda like the Bay of the USA. Go to this Mexican Grill place that’s nearby to check out authentic Mexican food but it’s actually a fast food place. Geez, and after all that work! We’d tried to enter it on Friday and Saturday, but they were closed all the time. Anyways, we get subs at Subway b/c they’re $5 for foot-longs. Man, food’s pretty cheap down here! But as we were walking back to the hotel, we see that Wokcano was open, so we went in. Guess it’s subs for breakfast! The restaurant people give us a light ribbing about the subs. I had the Double Chicken Kung Pao. It was pretty good, and $2 for a rice bowl, $1 for green tea. But they gave us a lotta food, that H had to doggy-bag hers. But it was a fancy place so we were quite out of place. But they still treated us well.

Midnight
Finished reading “A Foreign Love Affair.” It was romantic and explicit. Yamane-sensei is soooo awesome. And so having to be shipped up. I have a huge stack of books that have questionable covers. Customs suck. Also bought a purse b/c the Champs Elysee/Nina Ricci store was selling them at 90% off. But there’s no label on the bag, so I think that’s pretty weird to be selling that kind of stuff from a hotel store. But it’s still a good bag for only $19.99. They had some NKOTB T-shirts there, but only in small. Well it’s still a good joke gift. H used the phones in the lobby to yell at Air Canada b/c it was free to call toll-free numbers. So we didn’t need to use the cellphone. But she did say that b/c she was in a public place, she watched her language and tone more. They also had a computer that you could pay to use, so H had to do that to print off the claims form for her luggage. Kinda watched Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix. It’s okay, although H was going fan-freaky. Her and her Sirius Black. I’m like “whatever, the f/x are pretty cool”.
