If anyone wants to invite me over to see "Return of the King" I'd be most grateful ^_^
I'm housetrained, will clean up after myself and require low-- to no maintenance *bats eyelashes*

There's been close to no sunshine the past month, putting a serious dent in my mood (which I'm sure you all caught on in my previous post). But the past two days have actually been sunny !
Yup. No clouds hindering the sun from splashing onto my face, no fog that dampens my spirit. Simply sunshine *sighs dreamily*

" He touched the butt ! "

Yesterday I went to Gothenburg with my younger sister to watch "Finding Nemo", half expecting that it'd be a waste of time and only fuel my testy-ness even more. I was pleasantly surprised !

They did an excellent job in the voice casting, the animation was superb, it felt like they had actually sat down and thought through how this could be portrayed as naturally as possible.( Fish in Ocean –> Fish to Tank –> From Tank –> Ocean )

The encounter with the "Butt" (boat) cracked me up, cause I didn't see it coming.

" I think it's called a … butt "

" Wow, that's a big butt "
…

" He touched the butt ! "

Nemo's facial expression in that scene was spot on, in my opinion anyway ; )

Doris attempt at "Whale" was hilarious !!!
I laughed until I cried and then I laughed some more *lol*
She was an all-through great supporting character, she came close to stealing the spotlight from the "actual" leading man : D

"Put that hammer away… I'm a natural blue… "

The Sea Turtle "Crush" completely rocked my boat, man *peace sign* ^__^
I wish I remembered more of what he said… totally awesome Turtle, Dudes !

Oh yeah, my sister and I also decided that since we had made the trip (Gothenburg is 1 ½ hours away from our little town) we might as well see 2 movies !

"Finding Nemo" started at 13.30 and ended somewhere around 15.00.
At 15.00 "Pirates of the Caribbean" started ^_^
We figured that we'd only miss parts of the introduction in Pirates (we got there just in time for Jack Sparrow's magnificent entry, phew).

The only thing was, the cinema we saw Nemo in was at the bottom floor and the one where Pirates were showing, was at the top floor. And when you're laughing really hard, you can't really climb stairs well ~_^
When we got up there, no one was checking the tickets, so we just kinda snuck in and plopped ourselves on the first best seats we could find in the dark.

Sort of felt like we were movie hopping *silly grin* Which we weren't, cause we had tickets… *blink blink*

Before we went to the cinema, we made a quick visit to the Science Fiction Bookstore and drooled over the Manga books. I saw so many titles that I recognised, some from the animes I've seen and then others that I've heard about in OB.
My sister bought "Wedding Peach" in good fun and another one… can't remember what it was called… Clover.

I didn't get anything, though I was tempted to buy a whole bunch of 'em. I'm not the kind of person that can buy just the one book and wait patiently for the next to come out, or working hard on finding a copy that's missing in the collection. So I intend to steal anything my sister buys : P


When we got home (around 19.30) mom made us some yummy dinner (we hadn't eaten anything since breakfast, 09.00) which we tucked into while laughing about Nemo and trying to explain it to her. Although we weren't very successful in attempting "Whale" *lol*
