Mexican Ingenuity

Yesterday I spent part of the day with my lovely cousin Gina, grod8404, who took me to the mall to buy me a birthday gift. First stop was Waldenbooks where we both took advantage of the sales going on. Bargain books and paperbacks were both "Buy 4, get the 5th free", so I ended up buying 10 manga books with the gift card my mom gave me (and I still have $112 left on it ^___^). Gina spotted some witchcraft and vampires books in the bargain books section that she got super excited over. And damn were those books thick. I swear they were heavy enough to use as substitutes for weights (and yes we all--me, Gina, and two employees-- made those obligatory jokes about beating up boyfriends with them/breaking toes by dropping them/etc. 'cause we're all lame, haha). I had Gina buy me the Angel Sanctuary Artbook since I adore Kaori Yuki. ♥

Then we went to Hot Topic where Gina totally started hyperventilating over a The Nightmare Before Christmas metal lunch box. I'm serious. She was talking to me while I was looking at their anime shirts and she just started gasping and talking incoherently. "Jack...Nightmare...lunchbox...there..!"

They had the Vincent Valentine Advent Children action figure there but I didn't buy it since $25 seemed too expensive. Anyone know how much Texas Toyz is selling Advent Children figures for?

Came back to my house and watched ANTM (Grr...Bre you suck!). Afterward, Gina decided to go home, and this is where her ( Mexican Ingenuity kicked in. AKA  )

Blah, this post turned out long and rambling.

Mario Kart, ANTM, Iruka, and Ophra.....what an odd combination. ^^;

Mario Kart DS is so much fun to play! I gave it to my brother for our birthday and we've been playing multi-player mode together. Haha, I think he gets annoyed that I keep on getting 1st place 'cause he's the Mario Kart Master. Since he usually beats me in games I'll savor my victory while I can. ^__^

Okay, to any ANTM watchers on my friendslist, since next week is the last episode, who do you think is going to win?

The person I want to win is Nic. She's gorgeous and all of her photos look amazing. She's also the most professional acting of all the girls. But, the person who I think will win is Bre. I don't know why, there's just this odd feeling that's she's going to. Sure she takes a great photo, but her look outside of photoshoots doesn't say "I'm a model". Her attitude in the past couple of episodes has irked me (Getting worked up over a granola bar?! Ugh, so juvenile.) so my respect for her has dropped a lot. And Nicole? She seems like the long shot to win. She's cute and all, but she doesn't grab me in the same way Nic does. She kind of fades into the background like Jayla did.

Why don't I think Nic is going to win? She's weak as a spokesperson and the filming of the Cover Girl commercial is what's next. If she does well on it I will be surprised.

And since I'm such a dork over ANTM, if Bre wins next week you can expect a ranty post from me. XD

Poor Iruka-sensei, he's getting totally dissed here. Whatever, I still love him and think everyone is underestimating him in the same way Rukia from Bleach is always picked on. I ♥ them both.
