I just want to say that the college textbook market is a giant scam. Long story short, I bought used textbook, needed passcode from the book to do work for class online. The site didn't tell me that each passcode could only be used once. I went to the publisher's website to see they offered new passcodes for sale for a mere $130. The price of a new book is $90.
I sent off three very angry emails that probably won't be read or even acknowledged with a canned reply, but it still felt good to call the publishers disgusting cretins for charging that much for a six-letter code.
Needless to say, I am not adjusting well to "real" college.

The Princess and the Frog.
BEAUTIFUL animation, I was very impressed. My boyfriend was such a good sport to take me.

An XBox 360, but I know it's not happening.
More realistically, I want a padded backpack I can carry my laptop in for college. And money. I'm trying to replenish my savings account.

So my birthday's coming up in less than two weeks. Now that I've figured out how to play Windows games on my Mac without installing Windows itself, I wanna treat myself to a game.
Team Fortress 2 is $19.99 when you download it from Steam online; the Orange Box is $29.99. I'm stumped. I'd probably only be playing TF2 and Portal since I don't have much interest in Half-Life 2 at the moment.
(I REALLY want Brutal Legend since I got to play it at the Dethklok concert, but I don't have an Xbox 360. Maybe for Christmas.)

I went to a Dethklok concert with my boyfriend. We were two of the more "normal" looking people there. I wish I'd gone in costume, but I couldn't come up with anything good... so we went as Dethklok fans.

Roppongi is a well-known red light district. "Nanpa" means "flirt." So it's entirely possible Mr. Ikuhara (could it be Kuniko?) went to pick up a lady of the night, that's probably why he was so tired. Dirty animators! In the manga, I believe Rei's grandpa named Phobos and Deimos "Roppongi" and "Black Pearl" before she showed up.

Yeah, but the 3D wasn't all that great. They weren't made for 3D, so it's not like Buzz Lightyear was flying at us or anything.
I saw Zombieland last night and The Invention of Lying tonight.

SMU has been notorious for those mistakes for YEARS. It amazes me that the site is even still up! I can't believe whoever owns the site is still paying for it.

I like how they say Michiru's favorite show is Party of Five and uses Al Bundy to prove her straightness. ;D Seriously, there's been worse sites. I was just on a late '90s/early '00s nostalgia kick not long ago and went through a bunch of old Sailor Moon sites. This one has some weird misinformation, but it's hardly one of the worst. EDIT: Like I was saying... Awww yeah, sweet embedded midis, frames, and animated gifs on every page. It's like I'm back in 1998 again!

Eh, the only trip I took was a day trip back in June. My boyfriend took me and my sister to see Transformers 2 at the IMAX theater in Baltimore. Other than that, I've spent my summer working, hanging out with my boyfriend, etc. Nothing special.
Right now I'm waiting to see if my college application got accepted for the spring semester to SU. I'm so bored!

Extract. Didn't think I'd enjoy it, but it IS a Mike Judge movie, so of course I did.
