random things that happened this weekend
We watched X-Men 3: The Last Stand. X-2 was waaay better, but it was still enjoyable. I really just didn't care about anyone in this movie except maybe Wolverine. And I was just reminded of how much they changed Rogue from the cartoon/comic book character by how completely horribly she was written in this movie.
Superman Returns looks AWESOME. Fast & the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift still looks ridiculous, but I am still planning on going to see it.
Yesterday we went over to my parents' house for dinner. I was supposed to go over on Saturday, but we didn't have time, and my college roomie was driving up to visit. (She came for dinner, too.) My parents made a big deal about me coming on Sunday instead of Saturday, but didn't tell me why. I originally thought it was because of the holiday (fifth month, fifth day, I think, but don't quote me on it), but I found out from my aunt that my parents had been helping out with a funeral all day on Sunday. Why didn't they just tell me this? Because my mom is really superstitious and will not mention the word "death" in anyone's presence, or talk about it.
So we ate, and had some Chinese tamales after dinner. They weren't as good as last year's, possibly because my parents were feeling rushed. They're still awesome, and I was given about a week's worth of them. My roomie bonded with Kaitlin, possibly because they're both only children, so they understand each other's boredom. :P
Kaitlin showed me some manga she was reading - it was the Sneak Peek manga sampler that Viz releases every season. My older sister had probably given her some doubles. She giggled a lot at one, and said, "Kim, read this! Mark, DON'T look!" So I looked at it, and the dialog is: "I'm not a slut, okay?!" and there are panty shots. On the back of the book, there's a rating, and it's rated "T+ for older teens" which is "Recommended for older teens and adults. Possibly sexually-oriented nudity, but no explicit sex."
I took the book from her, which she seemed fine with. The other ones were rated "A for all ages" so that was fine. And I promised to get some "W.I.T.C.H." comic books for her from the library. It's her latest obsession - the new Sailor Moon!
