:D
I've been waiting 6 months, and it finally happened! Since early November, the anime club in my school has been sponsor-less, and with no sponsor, there's no club. On Friday, a teacher of one of our members asked him whether anime club was still going, and when he told them that it wasn't, the teacher offered to sponsor us not once a week, but twice - on Wednesdays and Fridays. Not only that, but I talked to my English teacher, and he said that he'd let us use his room for the club meetings; we're talking a high-tech room with 8 tvs scattered around. @_@ This guy named Art is president of anime club this year, and I'm vice president with a guarunteed president spot for next year. I'm just so happy that we're finally getting this started again, heh. ^_^ It's so fun to be able to get together with your group of friends and just hang out watching anime and eating pizza every week.. or perhaps eat anime and watch pizza. <.< I found this all out on Friday, and our first meeting is this Wednesday.

On Saturday, I took a trip to New York City for my little brother's 14th birthday. We had to leave our house at around 5:45 am to get there for the 7:00 am bus ride, and I drove down seperately so that I could stay at my friend's house when we got back. The bus was very nice and roomy, and I even got 2 seats to myself. They played some chicks flicks on the way up, which I declined to watch, and had School of Rock and Italian Job on the way back, which I fell asleep watching. We ended up getting to the city at around.. I dunno, 11:30 or so, and got dropped off at this Farrarri show for the 50th aniversuary or something. We went to the NBA store, Nike store, and this Sony place first. The NBA and Nike stores were a lot of fun to browse, I thought (imagine living in new york and being able to say "I want to get some stuff for basketball season", or "I think I want some Nike stuff to wear". Crazy!!), but the Sony place was kind of boring. All you really did was examine different information center things. Not anything very.. "cool", like computers and PlayStation. After these places, we went to get lunch at this buffet place where I got, like, orange chicken, fried and white rice, and maccaroni and cheese. O.o Lots of walking. We browsed through these outside shops, and then got on the metro which took us [forever to get onto the thing, and then went] to this other place in NYC. More walking. At this Virgin Records store, I completed my Sublime collection with their second album, Robin the Hood, which, when you listen to it, sounds like they're testing out different sounds. o_O; Lots more walking. On our way to China Town, we stopped off to watch this professional street performer who was saying how he was about to swallow this really big sword. Half an hour later after all of these other crazy tricks and after he has gathered quite a lot of money from people in the crowd, he finally swallows the thing and we get out before the next performance starts. China Town was a lot of fun. Not only did it have stuff from China, but we found a store filled with (go figure) anime and gaming! :D They had about 8 different types of DDR pads, including 2 metal ones, and the walls were lined with anime and video games. It was all very cool. I also think China Town reminded me of how utterly attractive Asian women are. *cough* Despite a few leg cramps, at the end of the day I had a fun time. It was my second time in New York, and if I don't come back for a while, I do want to come when I'm 21 so I can see a comedy club, heh.

Nothing much else important happened last week. I got about 5 CDs from my friend consisting of Incubus and Sublime, and I was introduced to the web.. series, Red vs Blue. It's sooooo funny; you all should see it if you haven't done so yet. It's this spoof that these guys made using the Halo multiplayer game.
