Reaching Out

Yesterday, I hung out with people! NaNoWriMo people! Chet (as usual; we've met every year for the past four years or so?), Pat (@geminianeyes, mistressnaoko, who I've known since 2003, re-introduced by divabat?, and then met each other again on NaNo, and then @aprilyim tried to re-introduce us but we already knew each other), as well as someone I had no prior acquaintance with. We talked for HOURS. My brother called me several times and I didn't hear it each time. I feel bad about that. I got thirsty and still kept talking to these wonderful women.

My brother came for me around 3.30, and we went to get his friend. When I got home, I crashed into bed SO HARD. He woke me up at 5.30 so we could go for dinner at Carnivale, which is purportedly a Brazilian style restaurant where people bring meat over to you.

Then, because my brother wanted to check out hand lotions (WTF?) we went to Sunway Pyramid. I shall take some pictures for you all to witness this monstrosity at some point.

While there, I got Baskin Robbins ice-cream (chocolate mousse royale) and harangued my brother to take me to a DVD store. Found a treasure trove selling anime, a range of Chinese and Japanese movies, as well as some Hollywood. (dump, I tried looking for stuff that seemed steampunk-themed, but alas... they didn't even have K-20!) No Lady General Hua Mulan, though. I was disappointed at the lack of Shaw Brothers movies. I bought the following, or rather, I made my brother buy the following:

- A new Gibhli set (including Howl's, Earthsea, and Ponyo)
- Avatar The Last Airbender (for RM39.90. That's CAD$12 or so.)
- The Heroic Trio AND The Executioners
- The new Mulan movie (I HAVE THE NEW MULAN MOVIE!!! Even if I missed it on the big screen I can still see it)

Also, check this out, the trailer for Kitaro and the Millennium Curse. It's a fantasy movie that came out a couple years back.
