My stuff hasn't arrived yet. I was pissed for awhile but then I found out that the guy running the website was in an accident so I don't mind anymore, hope he's okay. Truthfully I'm kind of forgetting about the stuff, I feel like it'll never come so it's like, whatever.
I went to Blockbuster and my brother and I were walking down the main isle. I must have been looking down but my brother who was next to me told me to look up, or more specifically a grunt a nudge and a point, ant there standing in the corner was the female gator mascot for our cities teams. I was in shock 'cause it's not often you find yourself ten feet away from a standing gator when all you're looking for is a good movie. So he and I turned around and jogged in the other direction, not that there's any problem with mascots, I just think it's creepy not knowing who's in there. My brother ran simply because I did and he tends to stick by my side whenever we go "exploring" on our own. Me and Sean had decided that there were no decent Recent Release movies so we headed for the Anime. The biggest problem was that the thing was close enough to that section for us to hide and pretend to look at the action movies while kinda trailing our dad. Me and my brother still have the adventurous imaginations, or that's what people tell us, from when we were younger and in our minds if we got anywhere near the thing it would tickle attack us and the world would end! Horrible I know. So when it left we made a break for the anime, my bro chose "Chastle in the Sky" simply because we both knew it was a Miyazaki film and we now love his movies. I chose what ever had artwork that looked like it might be Miyazaki drawn and got it. My dad got "Cats".
I chose the movie "Grave of the Fireflies". It's about two Japanese{duh} siblings that are orphaned during WW2 and try to survive an their own. One is Seita a fourteen year old and the other is four year old Setsuko. It's really sad. I cried when I watched it, not wailing and sniffling, just tears rolling that I couldn't control. I watched two more times with the same result. It's a good movie, just sad.
Oh I forgot to mention that the mascot was there handing out free tickets for the ladies basket ball game on Sunday. She had moved to out side of te door aswell as a cow mascot, though what it was a mascot for I'll never know. When I went outside the cow bowed to me, which I thought was strange, because It didn't bow to anyone else, it must have known the costume creeps me out and did it because of that.
