I feel like being healthy today.

Although the bolognese hasn't really gone down yet, I still feel like eating some fruit or at least having some pure apple juice. *gets some* Mmm, lovely ^_^ Now my Photobucket account is working nicely, I think I'll start a picture of the day/week thingummy a la teh Juu, cause that would be fun. For now, I have the pictures of Mimmi's visit. I'll put them up a few at a time so as to prolong the experience, heh ^_^ Day 3 part 1. These photos are from the bowling alley and Chichester itself, where we did some shopping ^_^. Well, Mimmi did shopping. I've done shopping in Chi already and I can never remember what it is I need. I did get a sandwich, though. There were a couple that I took when she wasn't looking, but they were sneaksy and so not allowed ^_^; Piccy 1: Mimmi having just taken a photo of... something. I can't remember what. Oh, probably the Butter Market building, but it's too big to really capture from street level with a normal camera. Piccy 2: Mimmi, having just bowled her turn. It was probably an impressive move but I was concentrating more on taking her picture before she objected to it, heh ^_^. She really doesn't need to object though, as she's very pretty. Piccy 3: The first pic of Mimmi that was officially approved, heh. I took this one a few minutes after the first. She was beating me all the way through this game ^_^; Piccy 4: The Lost Bin! There's a bin in the Bishop's Palace Gardens that looks like it was just ripped from a street and dumped inside the scenery, almost like the Statue of Liberty in Planet of the Apes. I thought it was cool, anyway >.> Piccy 5: Shoe! Mimmi has cool shoes, heh. I have quite a few more left to come yet, so I'll try and space them out as best I can. I'm afraid I don't have any of me because I was the one taking them, but Mimmi should. Eh, there are slightly more stylish ones than the one of me in the chair, though ^_^; Go see her site for teh detailses. On Day 3 I took Mimmi to our chocolate shop, Montezuma's. It's a lovely lovely place that sells lovely lovely chocolate (well, I hope Mimmi's mum thought so, heh), and I also took her around many of the other places I usually go to. It's not a very impressive town, but it works for what it is. There's certainly no shortage of places to eat- you'd think people in Chichester would be obese with all the eateries lining the streets. It threatened to rain all day but remained nicely clear even when we sat outside for a few hours waiting for the film to start. At one point about thirty to forty people with cameras appeared in the gardens, all trooping through. I've never seen so many people with cameras! normally whenever I see that many it's at Arundel Castle at an event and they all want individual pictures. but these weren't Chinese/German/old tourists, so we were left to our own devices. Which was spying on George... George! George was a gardener working at clipping... something (we couldn't quite see what, but we presumed it was probably a hedge) opposite from our bench. He was working incredibly dilligently and didn't say a word. Or if he did, ther were too quiet for us to hear. I made a joke about his tool- I think he became suspicious of us laughing, heh. He kept his composure and trimmed the entire thing though, and all the while we kept trying to take pictures of him. Every so often he'd look up and see a camera pointing towards him, so we quickly had to turn away and make it look like we were focusing on something else ^_^; It got incredibly farcical, especially as Mimmi's camera kept blurring up the pictures. George's Wheelbarrow of Goodies! Tools, sweets or instruments of conspiracy and secrecy intent on destruction of the Government? You decide! Meanwhile, we took pictures of each other taking pictures to prove to you that we were, in fact, taking pictures. Here's my half of the exchange ^_~ Return of The GeorgeWhen he was getting this close it was hard for us to hide our sneaky intentions, so we left. Hellboy comes to mind again (seeing as we saw it that day): it lacked... something. The characters were cool and the dialogue was pretty nice in places, but a lot of it really needed some tuning. Like the ending: it didn't actually feel like a climax at all. I half-expected there to be something else afterwards, but otherwise it just felt like the middle of the movie. Not that I particularly wantedthere to be more, mind, but it didn't involve me that much. My favourite character was Abe, and even he was given nothing to do by the end of the film. Peh. Enjoy the pictures ^_^
