Sweet Dreams

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers reading this! ^_^

However, even though it was Mother's Day, I have to admit I ended up making out like a bandit. *laughs* My parents got their economic stimulus check (or whatever it's called) in last week, so Mom and I went to Best Buy after church to check out their TVs, since Mom's been wanting a new TV so she wouldn't have to deal with those new converter boxes. According to the guy who was helping us, though, even if we bought a new TV, we would still need to get a converter box. (I'm thinking maybe he just didn't know what he was talking about, because I was under the impression that all new TVs were ready for the switch to digital next year, but, oh, well.) Mom didn't see the point of buying a new TV if she was going to have to get a converter box as well, so we decided to just wait until we got our coupons for the converter boxes (one for my TV, too) and used the money we were going to use to buy the TV to go on a little shopping spree. ^_^

Not only did I get the Peach Girl boxset for our family's made-up holiday of Daughter's Day (technically tomorrow), but she also bought me Tales of Phantasia for my GBA, three really cool shirts from Cato's, and a proper TV stand for the TV in my room. (I have been using an end table for the past couple of years.) Don't worry, though. Mom got more than her fair share, too, including the hydrangea bush I gave her for Mother's Day.

All in all, pretty cool mother/daughter day. ^_^

01. Pick five of your favorite singers/groups.
02. Go to Last.fm or Wikipedia and look up their biographies.
03. Post at least one interesting fact for each singer/group.
04. Tag five people on your f-list to do the same thing.


As for tagging...do it if you want.

Now, to the squeeing!

First off, my Emma manga volumes came in on Tuesday, and I finished reading them yesterday. Blue, thank you for recommending it to me! ^_^ I loved it, loved it, loved it! The ending was a little weak, in my opinion, but the rest was near perfection. I do believe I'll give it the number three spot on my favorite manga list, just behind Chobits and Fruits Basket.  

This week, I also finished watching the Peach Girl anime, which I've been renting from Netflix. I've heard a lot of bad reviews for it, especially compared to the manga, but I actually really loved it, in a guilty pleasure kind of way. *laughs* It kind of makes me want to check out the "superior" manga, but considering that it's eighteen volumes long and I already have a "to read" list that's a mile long, I think it's probably better on my wallet if I just stick to getting the boxset, which just came out a couple of weeks ago. (Good timing!) Just need to scrounge up the money...

The biggest squee of all, though, is...

World Championships on ABC! Tomorrow!

*jumps up and down like a crazy person*

Whoo! You have no idea how excited I am! Three hours of figure skating goodness! Of course, being the fanatic I am, I already know the final results (except for the men's competition, which isn't over yet), but... 

Can it be two o'clock tomorrow already?
