The autumn holiday has ended. Damn. I could've used a two-week holiday instead of just one. ^_^ I got the Gloomcookie-album I wanted, though I now have absolutely no money at all, and my sis bought me Ceres 2, since I had bought her a ticket to the Rocky Horror Picture Show at Åbo Svenska Teatern (that's the Swedish Theater of Turku).

We saw Rocky last Saturday (now I'm not a virgin anymore)! It was so awesome, even though it was in Swedish (the reason I understood the thing was the fact that I've seen the movie so many times), and the guy who played Frank-N-Furter was marvellous. We really got on the right mood (oh, it was me, my sis and my cousin). We were all dressed and made up in appropriate garments, and since we sat in the second row, we got much attention from the players. It was so cool! I'm a real Rocky fanatic as you probably can tell. Frank waved at my sister and when Rocky is born and runs around the audience teasing the viewers with Frank chasing him, he came to sit next to me. In the end we also got up to the stage to dance the Time Warp with the cast! And later on, from our bus stop, we saw straight into Riff-Raff's dressing room, heh. Now I can't think of anything else than Rocky. The songs go around and round in my head... I just want to see the show again. Perhaps I could... I don't know if I have the money, and if my cousin would agree to go see it with me (she's seen it two times already). Perhaps I'll have to be satisfied with just watching the movie.

We also went to see Battle Royale on Friday. It was alright and the "baddie exhange student" was cool, though I don't know how well that fits into the message of the movie... Well, can't help it.

I sent some pictures of Jenny to Dan (let's see what he thinks), and Sade finally wrote Arassa so I can get back to Damon! Woo-hoo!

I think I'll stop now. Someone says the school net is freezing up once again... it sometimes does that. I hope all this text doesn't go away! In about an hour Japanese lessons call again (oops, I haven't read the 2 chapters we were supposed to read, though I've done the exercises, oh well)!

It seems I'm not that good a blogger :P It's been a while, so I just dropped in.

Well, I watched the anime. Cowboy Bebop was neat, but it bothered me that at least the episodes 1-10 didn't have a common, bigger plot. They were just one-off episodes, mostly. Escaflowne was interesting, but not anything mind-shattering. Now I've borrowed Mononoke Hime and Fushigi Yûgi 1-4. I'll watch them next week with my sister. It will be really interesting to see how the animated version of FY looks and if they have made changes to the plot. I also bought the manga Ragnarok 1 and 3 (there was no 2) from Fantasiapelit ("Fantasy Games"). They were quite cool. I liked the way the characters were drawn, especially the boys. ;) But there were too few male characters! One of the ravens, was it Muninn, looked like a guy, but then it turned out it was a girl. :( Well, that was a first. Mostly people think manga guys are girls. ^_^ Anyway, Dread Skurai is my new favourite! So cool.

Next week (I think) Ceres 2 will arrive to Fantasiapelit, and so could Gloomcookie 2, also. I ordered the latter from the Helsinki store, and I hope they get the order right. I've heard stories that their system isn't the most reliable. But I want it!!!

Well, that's all for now. I'm heading home after a day of learning to use Dreamweaver.
