feeling: groggy
listening to: Dir en Grey - Ain't Afraid to Die
Some cool/interesting/amusing things that happened today:
On the way to international studies class, I finally saw our campus' resident white squirrel. ^^ I've heard so much about the little beast over the past couple years, that it lives around the main library/Oval area, which is probably the most traversed area of this campus... but I'd never seen it. Then today, there it was, right in the middle of the Oval toward the north side. That was pretty darn cool.
Then I started reading Lord of the Rings again. It's been over a year since I finished The Hobbit and started the Fellowship of the Ring... I got less than 50 pages in and just stopped for some reason. Actually, I started over with it last night before falling asleep, and just today got caught up with where I was and got to move on a bit more. Not nearly as cool as a white squirrel, but I so rarely read for fun anymore... it was nice, says I.
Then during an afternoon nap, I had my first Dir en Grey dream. Finally. :P Wasn't much, and it didn't even account for a very large part of the dream... somewhere toward the end I was watching this tape or DVD or something I had just received from an online order... I remember purple-haired Kaoru screaming into a mic during a concert (Kaoru on vocals? O.o), and they were performing a song that I've never heard before and probably doesn't exist... which is too bad, cause it was darned catchy. :\ Yeah, that's about it... not nearly as cool as that Gackt dream I had a while back... *swoon*
Then I woke up and went to the commons for dinner... and as a special, they were serving cotton candy. O.O!! heh, I never get cotton candy from fairs or festivals or ball games or anything like that... used to, but it's been ages... but yeah, when your college cafeteria serves fresh-spun cotton candy with the meal, you'd have to be a fool not to get a cone. >:P And I learned it's impossible not to be joyful when you're carrying cotton candy around... lol
And this is VERY cool... it seems Neopets has developed a new color for pets that is actually depressed. Talk about a step in the right direction. I was getting sick of all the cutesy overly happy pet species... especially when they revamped my Faerie Kougra and she went from a cool proud winged tiger to some disturbing hybrid of a koala, a kitten, and a bubble... -_- Anyway, so now there's this new grey color, and so far only the Cybunny, a pet notorious for being sickeningly cute and fluffy and perky, can be painted with it. And crap it all, I WANT THAT BUNNY!! Screw the happy giddy regular colors, the little miserable grey guy in the corner with the bandage around his wrist in the beaten pose is all I could ever want from a Neopet. They darn well better make this color/attitude available for looooottts more pets in the near future. Best thing to happen to Neopets since the Zomutt (which I actually finally own now :D BOOYA!)
...And as of now, that's pretty much it. The days are just packed. Although, I'm currently trying my butt off to download this song, Lord of the Dance... I don't think it's the same one from Riverdance heh... but it's an Irish/Celtic classic that we sang in choir a couple weeks ago, and it was pretty darn awesome for a choir song. We're even planning to do a little puppet thing to a recording of it on Easter Sunday, which makes me quite yay-ful. Anyway... but there seem to be dozens of different versions, and none of the ones I've found yet have been the right one. Grr. I AM going to find this song.
