Apparently there's some serious shit going down at Virginia Tech. So if anyone on my f'list goes there, or if you know anyone who goes there, I hope you're safe and that your friends/family are, too. And I don't really know what to say aside from that, except that I'll be praying/sending good thoughts your way.

Defying probability
Apr. 16th, 2007 06:49 pmSo, against all odds (all odds being a Spontaneous Family Outing to an authentic Mexican restaurant, and if you don't believe that Iowa has them then you have never been here), I am actually in the computer lab and online before seven o'clock. And I don't even have to deal with a lecture from Dad or anything!
( Cut for smalltext example conversation, as it'll make this post that much shorter. )
Anyway, restaurant. A very nice place, over all, called La Rayna [The Queen]. The food was quite tasty, but what probably made the biggest impression on me was the music. The waiter said it was something/one called Las Cinco Estaciones [The Five Seasons]. I need their music now, despite the fact that almost none of my one semester of Spanish stuck. (I'll just look up the lyrics online...)
Stopped by CVS pharmacy this afternoon and noticed they had some shirts for sale. Plain white long-sleeved t-shirts for $3.33 each; I snatched a few up :3 No sense in letting a good bargain go to waste, especially if I can then Pass My Savings Onto The Consumer! Or whatever.
Woke up this morning from some very bizarre dreams. I can only describe them as bad Avatar fanfiction, except that I was dreaming them. I think I can possibly blame this on my having watched the Avatar School Shipping Special for the first time yesterday, but even that might be stretching things. I can hardly remember any of the details, except that they were pretty bad.
Aaaand that's all I have right now. I'm sure I had more, but I can't remember it. (T-shirt calculation, which may go up in a post shortly, does not count. It is a separate issue.) If I do remember, I guess I'll make an edit or something. And now, I'm off to figure out how Meebo works ¦Db
Edit: *is now signed into MSN* Niiiifty....
Edit 2: Oh yeah, that's what it was! I was going to talk about how much Sugiura Shiho owns my soul, and how the lot of you should be reading Silver Diamond and Koori no Mamono no Monogatari yesterday, and how pretty her art is and funny her stories are, and how I really shouldn't go looking for fanworks of it, as I am sure to be disappointed. Or something. Anyway, read her work! *will upload*
Edit 3: I am now officially looking forward to St. George's Day :Db
