Of puppies, Ren Fests, and Bleach.

Today, Kurama and I went to the Renaissance Festival. .^__^

Well, I mean, I went last week, with friends and dolls (which I still need to post pics of..), but we didn't stay too long, and didn't see too much.

I must, as usual, fully advocate doing things on one's own. There's something to say for being able to go where you want and do what you want and see what you want, without having to compromise your wishes with those of others. =3 Today, the only person I had to confer with was my puppy, and she didn't care where we went, as long as there was stuff to sniff. X3

Everyone loved her too. .^-^ Everyone wanted to pet her and said how cute she was, and tried to figure out what she was. .^o^ She got called a fox, a wolf, a coyote, an African spotted wild dog, and a raccoon (WTF? .^^* ). And she had such a good time! .^__^

She was also 100 times more well-behaved then most of the children there. Handled all the pettings and other stimulation very well, didn't try to run off or anything, and the only time she barked at all was when we were watching the joust, when the horses first came out. Then she settled right down and continued flirting with all the humans around us who wanted to pet her. .^,^
So why it took so long for them to decide dogs were ok, but have always welcomed kids, is beyond me.

But someone tell me, WTF is up with people bringing babies to the Ren Fest?? It's not like they can appreciate or enjoy or understand what the hell is going on. All they know is they're hot and tired and miserable. I swear to gods, people should need a license to be a parent. .>_< Hey, lets go give our baby a sunburn so we can get drunk and eat turkey legs! Huzzah!! .... Idiots. .-_-

Anyway! About the joust! =D We happened to sit on the side designated to cheer for England. =D =D Yey, England! XD ( ::randomly blows a kiss to Brishen:: >3 ) But in the end, the German won. XD Yey, German! ( ::randomly blows a kiss to Gü:: XD ) It was big fun.

And now I have a pooped puppy. =3


The other day (or was it yesterday?), I finished downloading the Bleach movie 'Memories of Nobody', so I just now finished watching that.

It was ok. ::nods::

I mean... I think there was way too much focus on this original character, and not enough on the characters we know and love, and are actually watching the movie for. But then, isn't that how all anime movies are?

I think it'd be more better if there could be a movie about the things we actually care about. As an expansion of the series, where we can explore things we'd really like to know. Like... what's the name of Kenpachi's zanpakuto? What is Ukitake's bankai? Just how cute was Ukitake as a child? What do Ukitake and Byakuya do when alone together? Will Byakuya ever top?

You know.. important things. XD
(clearly, examples of what I would like to see are a bit biased)

In this movie... Byakuya got all of, what, two lines? Fucking Mayuri got more lines than that! (though I will admit to squeeing obnoxiously when Ukitake first appeared X3 ) Ishida and Chad showed up (at least ::eyeroll::), but didn't do a single thing. In fact, Chad's only line was a tiny, blink-and-you'll-miss-it grunt.

Shafted, man! Shafted!

Oh Bleach. I expected so much more from you.


::streeeetch:: Anyway~ early class tomorrow. Time for beds.

おやすみなさい～
