I came home to nagging about not having a job yet, and how a family friend's daughter sent out twenty-five applications, so clearly I am way behind, etc. etc. which slightly negated the point of my trip, but hey.
San Diego was fun - we wandered around Balboa Park, Old Town, Ocean Beach, Sea World, Seaport Village, the Gaslamp Quarter, the convention center (zomg, HUGE), and the maritime museum (with various old ships we could go on, including the ship from
Master and Commander, and a Russian Cold War-era submarine). Aside from the brief stop in Avalon on Catalina Island, the cruise was mostly eating and sleeping, and watching the movies they ran every day. We saw
Slumdog Millionaire and
Fantastic Four 2 among others (like
High School Musical 3 - ugh, at least the first one had some catchy songs).
I fell in love with
Commerson's Dolphin at Sea World (aka the dolphin that everyone sees and goes, "BABY SHAMU!" at >.>). They're so pretty, and like to swim upside-down. XD We went to the dolphin show, the orca show, and the sea lion SNL spoof, which were all entertaining.
( Trip blather, con't )I skimmed the flist today and yesterday, but please let me know if I missed anything you want me to know - personal, or fandomwise! I saw that Alice Nine is settling on 'Alice Nine' as their name (thank you for being straightforward and not like some OtheR BandS who like eXtr@n3ou$ markings, A9! XD), and that Nakayama Yuma with B.I. Shadow (or is it just Yuma with B.I. Shadow now, cause people were messing up his name?) is the next JE group to debut, along with NYC, a temporary group also with Yuma... nothing against the guy personally, but it is a bit of a WTF choice to me, next to all of the other Juniors that seem to have been getting pimped more. But then, the Kansai kids don't seem to get as much screentime normally. And hey, SHINee's done well, so why not debut an even younger group! >.>
Um... what else. Oh, I watched episode 2 of
MR. BRAIN yesterday instead of the next episode of
Hyoryu Net Cafe, and spent half the time staring at Kimutaku's awesome hair. No, that's not sarcasm. Gackt probably had a lot of fun with his role. Watched the
Ousama no Brunch interview with Kame and Kimutaku this afternoon, which was amusing. I quite liked the episode I watched (as much as I SIGH-ed at neurology, I must admit that it does make some TV shows and things easier to understand
and nitpick now), though it was probably not the best thing to watch right before bed. Now I'm looking forward to subs for episode 3, but I don't have space for the 1GB first episode, so it's off to find it *gasp* streaming somewhere for now.
...and then try to catch up on everything else, like finding a job. >.> And icontesty things, since Mom is not home and I am taking advantage of the nag-free time. XD
