Happy Father's Day, Otosan :)

...yep, 'otosan' is Japanese for 'father'. But only when you talk to him. When you talk about him, you use 'chichi'.

I got my dad the new Green Day CD, and we had prime rib burgers for dinner. Mom gave Grandpa some golf balls.

I'm done reading Fruits Basket #2, and I just love Hatori Sohma. I can't wait until #7, because I think that's the one with the page about the Year of the Dragon, which is Hatori's Chinese zodiac sign. I reserved #3, and hopefully it'll be in by Tuesday, which is the day that our DVDs are due. Which reminds me, I have to watch Slumdog Millionaire tomorrow...

Blech, it's gotten humid. That's always fun... NOT!

I should go check my library account...

Mall crawl

So my mom and I got dropped off at the mall so that I could get my last-minute father's day shopping done. It actually went well. I got him two golf shirts, and because I forgot to get him something for his birthday in February I got him a new corkscrew. We browsed in between - we were tempted to buy jewelry at The Bay, because they had nice earrings. We also went into a store called Green Earth, which has some funky stuff - jewelry, figurines, picture frames, that sort of thing. We also saw CDs there, one of which was a disco compilation. I wanted to get this Marvin Gaye CD, but I had no money with me. Shame... I like his music. We also stopped in a Coles, where we saw more CDs. I wanted to get Supertramp's Crime of the Century at Shopper's Drug Mart, but as I mentioned before, no money. Oh well - I'll see if I can earn money by doing yard work, then I'll go to HMV during one of their big sales.

Yay!

Not much to report, except that I'm going over to my uncle's house on the day before Father's Day, which is pretty awesome. My uncle's a wacky guy, and my cousins (his children) are also awesome. One of them is going to art school in the fall!

Plus, tonight the finale of Rock the Cradle is on. GO JESSE BLAZE SNIDER!!!

Also, I've figured out how to use up my blue acrylic - a ruff! I'm borrowing a knitting book called One-Skein Wonders from the library, and it has a pattern for a ruff. I did a test swatch, and it's close enough, so the pattern will most likely work!

The only downside is that tomorrow's Monday, which means I'll have to get back to my math. But hey, that's life...
