Need sleep for now.
Edit: (Tuesday Morning) Uh, I am only half awake yet, but... explanations!
So, here is what happened on Sunday. There is a 'concerts in the park' program for the summertime in the park near where I live. There are some week day concerts and some weekend concerts. We were supposed to go to one of the weekend concerts on Sunday. I remembered from the website and little leaflet I had that the concert times were in the evening. So the friend who was going with me didn't worry about getting here -too- early, or protest too hard when other people delayed her.
Then, after she got here, I dug around to find the leaflet so that we'd know exactly what time to go, and discovered that the weekend concerts are in the afternoon and start at 2:30 and end around 4pm. (She arrived around 4:15.) sweatdrop
So instead, we hung out for a while and then caught a showing of the new Harry Potter movie in the evening. On the way to the theatre, the car brakes stopped working properly. We actually nearly skidded into an intersection even though we were only going about 20mph. We DID leave tire marks.
We were only about 3 blocks from the theater at this point, and it was late enough on a Sunday night that auto parts places were closed, so we continued on to the theater where, I somehow on instinct guided us on the first try to a row where no less than 3 parking spaces opened up within about 30 seconds. o.o Inspection later revealed a complete lack of brake fluid, which was soon remedied. (Yay for house mates!)
I enjoyed the movie, but there are definitely some pieces from the book that were left out. I don't think anything major was changed though. I need to re-read the book to remember why Sirius looked different as a dog. That part threw me for a bit.
Monday, I went to work. I came on for a bit during the day with images turned off, trying to conserve bandwidth at work. (Plus my work computer is ANNOYINGLY slow and clunky.) Friends met me for lunch. By the time I arrived home after work, I was seriously tired, owing mainly to insufficient sleep the night before. So I sat down with my laptop, discovered I had about 2.6k in gold or something for the day's earnings, and decided to go hunt up that Brown Magical Giftbox I got a couple weeks ago and sell it.
I figured that would give me enough gold to get one of the two remaining items on my wishlist that were priced around 5k before everything moved up to the 10k range. While waiting for it to sell, I went to wander around Towns, looking for bugs so I can make ink for tattoos and bouquets. Towns is annoying because even on my desktop where such things run better, it crashes far too often. I really really like though, how I can zip through and just snag a bunch of stuff in a relatively short time period.
When it crashed repeatedly and wouldn't let me back in, I gave up for the night.Then, after quitting towns, I realized that I had new PM's. This always makes me wince at the moment. I had got through Sunday being gifted nothing more than an Orchid Brooch, which I didn't object to, so I had been hopeful that the gifting had died down a bit now that everything on the list is getting more pricey. When I checked my inbox, sure enough, I'd received two gifts. Both anonymous. >>;;
Upon opening the boxes, the two items proved to be.... the last two items on my wishlist that were worth around 5k. I face-faulted at that point, and my friends, who had come to hang out for a bit, were laughing at me. Then I got another PM. I winced, but went to look. Oh... lookie there... my giftbox sold. gonk And now I had nothing to buy. I realized shortly after that though, that the Raptor Tail was only a little over 6k, and the sale of the giftbox had given me enough to get it. So I hurried over to get it before someone else could gift it to me. <<;; So that was a win... kind of... preceded by failure.
However, when I went to complain about this... somehow this resulted in someone promising to gift me elegant stuff. x_X; Complete failure! gonk
And that's about it... and I should go take my shower and get ready for work today... so... uh... I'm not awake yet, but I'll go for now. whee
