St. Augustine was... really fun. It was a beautiful night, warm enough not to even need a jacket and comfortably crowded. I got a lot of exercise heading off in the wrong direction at first? ;p It felt eeriely like San Francisco at one point, walking past a lot of little hotels. Didn't really do anything except window shop and enjoy the atmosphere - except stopping in this little handmade candy store. Handmade. Candies. And icecream, of which I had a scoop. Peppermint! And I bought a bag of saltwater taffy.
This is important, because the stuff you buy in stores? Or at least, any that I've ever bought in stores? Yuck. I have a bag of real, delicious saltwater taffy, and I've been craving that forever. ^_^ Not letting myself have more than one or two pieces a day, though, it was $6 and the bag is not that big. ...I don't care! mmm, taffy. Almost as good as chocolate and so much harder to find.
Other things of importance, let's see... oh! ;p Shiny presents from Shusu! eee, I have a Sesshomaru! I will love him and hug him and call him Fluffy, and make Seto pretend to be Inuyasha, and have little arguments between them! XD And gorgeous pictures of winter, one of which is my new desktop. There are animal footprints! In snow! snowsnowsnow ^___^
!!! must make icon thereof !!!
And a neat little notebook, which at first I thought was a purse. But then at first I thought there was glass in here somewhere - that something was made of glass. I have no idea where that idea came from, but that's what I was thinking, so. :P
And Katamari Damacy. Which will be the first thing I play once I'm done with FF12. I've heard of this game? But I don't know what to think. It looks strange... *pokes it*
Also on the to-do list: Another trip to St. Augustine, to take pictures in the daylight. That will need to be another weekend, probably next weekend, so that I can sleep in afterwards without worrying about work.
We have an Egyptian exhibit! I must go see this. Must
There's at least one movie in theaters that I hope I remember to go see while it's still in the theater - Night at the Museum. I have seen the trailer for this too many times, and it looks fun. Other things I'll want to see aren't even out yet - Spiderman 3, the next Harry Potter. I have seen trailers for the next HP and it stopped me dead in my tracks. Of course, said trailer contained Snape, so that was bound to happen. ;p
But right now, there are goals I will achieve, even if I don't manage everything I wanted to this weekeend.
ETA: I keep forgetting to mention this. But, once I get other things out of the way, I'm going back to my NaNo to keep at it until the rough draft is done. Once that's done, I'm going to go back through and make a journal for it, for purposes of sharing and hopefully constructive critiscism? And so on through every story that belongs in the same universe, before I even think about trying to get anything published. I need to have the world down before it goes anywhere.
ETA the Second: Katamari Damacy is the shiniest pure crack since Yu-Gi-Oh, and I keep imagining the King's voice as Pegasus's. XD But it bizzarely cute and fun and clearly going to be addictive. I'm making stars! Stars made out of stuff, like my first one made out of snacks and games and stationary. How utterly appropriate! :D
And you can go to a spot to look up at the night sky you're building. ^.^
...just, you know. Don't screw up or the demented King will insult you. Admist the lightning and the thunder and the pouring rain. O.o;
Wheeee!
