I guess the universe wanted to make it up to me for disappointing me so badly on Thursday. We won the costume competition at Armageddon yesterday.
Giffy talks about it here, and I totally agree with waht she says. The fact is, our costumes weren't the most elaborate or pretty or *made with the most skill* but we did have a skit of awesomeness and we did stay in character *A LOT*.
Still, the judging was a huge surprise and I didn't recognise our names when they were called out. Then I squealed a lot.
I bought lovely anime DVDs of happiness with my prize money. I got Angelic Layer volumes 4 and 5, Azumanga Daioh number 1 plus box (Ewwww! English dub is gross. Chiyo-chan's voice is sooooo annoying. Osaka's southern accent is kinda cute though.) And Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi number 1 plus box. Kewl.
Also on the weekend I went to the Girl flat + Svend's party which I had a lot of fun at. Lee turned into a pumpkin though, so we left earlier than I would have liked.
Also Lee bought the box set of original Star Wars trilogy on Saturday and I went into Lush for presents for Svend and saw lots of nummy new products. Mmm Lush things.
Last night I watched Laurel Canyon which is a movie set in Hollywood and very good. Christian Bale and Kate Beckinsdale aren't as cute a couple as you might think. I wouldn't think this movie would appeal to everyone but it was neat. Sort of cool and laid back and Almost Famous-esque, kinda.
I also read a book called I know what you did last Wednesday by Anthony Horowitz which is a very funny and scary kid's book about the Diamond Brothers. The elder Tim, is very stupid. The books are from younger brother Nick's point of view and he is very sarcastic. As you can guess the book was set out like a horror movie.
