other things

we just watched Ghost World while Eli did his laundry. I have to do my laundry tomorrow I think. Otherwise I will be doomed.

I don't think I understood Ghost World. Well, not the ending, I don't really know where I expected it to end though. on some level it really just bugged me because it reminded me of how much I grew apart from one of my high school friends, to the point that when I see her now I want to smack her, usually. So I don't see her anymore. and I mean, it's like, Enid just fucks up Seymour's life completely and it's not like there's even any repercussions for it. That bugs me, like there's some weird imbalance.

anyway... shrug.

I forgot to note in my entry last night how cool it was to see Steinar at bridge. I remember meeting him like six years ago when he showed up at Rodef one day and just kicked ass at bridge and placed first with a random partner. Mark and I were in awe. Then he was cool enough to come play bridge with us at bridge club. I guess he's really busy now, but he said he would point his advisees at Noble's bridge class. Heh.

I think I ignored the 4th of July last year. I wish I could decide where to go for it this year. Sigh. I guess, well, I could just stay in town, for my last summer in Pittsburgh, and do the whole Pittsburgh 4th thing, and then celebrate birthdays and stuff with people (not just Rebecca, I think Regan is also having a party, and I haven't seen her in a while either). but I dunno. something about me is always inclined to GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

random bubblings

today I did laundry. I messed around with my computer some, and I did some errands. I took the tape back to C. Video, and I went to Phantom, where I bought the copy of Nippon Rails that Jeff ordered for me, and I also bought a copy of Iron Dragon. Now I just need to convince people to play with me. I wonder if I should try at Gaming Club on saturday. Maybe rjmccall would know.

I went to geagle and picked up some food and stuff, and I'm going to make ravioli for D&D because I am a lazy twit.

I thought a lot about cosplay and conventions today, too. I still want to go to Origins, but planning it might be a pain. If I can find somewhere in Columbus to stay for one night, maybe I could go for two days of the convention and hope to play a lot of Iron Dragon. Or something. As for Otakon, I want to go, badly, but I just don't know if that weekend will be free then, or if it'll be the weekend I'm moving out of town. But I had some interesting cosplay ideas. Nothing as complicated as celine's stuff, or sorakirei or anyone else who is serious, but a few things in addition to DDR characters. My favourite is to cosplay as Capture the B34R. I'll just take the outfit I wore at Capture the Flag this year and... augment it. It'll be cool. I'm thinking of dressing as Nina 4th Mix at the next Pittsburgh DDR tourney, too. It depends if I can figure out a way to get the hair to stay on my head. Yeah.
