This past weekend was our state's little anime convention; Animazement. I went with an animal/polka dot theme except my bunny ears didn't stay on well for Friday, and Andy told me the bear ears were silly on Satuday.... so I still had polka dots! Friday afternoon we went out for sushi at Sono, which was outstanding!

They held dances each night and I enjoyed the DJ, and a band even had a concert and encore concert over the weekend! Uchuu Sentai NOIZ, they came all the way from outer space to play for us! {We were eating sushi when the concert started, so I only managed to squeeze in to about the 5th row once I got there...}

We're moving. I don't want to leave this apartment. It took me two years to find one that I really like and that doesn't come with horrible neighbors. We're moving to a townhouse. It's not close to where I work or my summer classes. I'm not really happy about it other than there is a stream out my back door and a big grassy lawn to the left.

When I was young I saw Star Trek on the television when my dad watched it. I suppose I liked it, but was never in love with it or would go out of my way to see it. I enjoy sci fi a lot though. Word of the new Star Trek film came around pretty quick to me since I had not been spending the money on movies to see any new trailers. Seeing only two trailers for Star Trek, I didn't really want to see it but Andy and Rick roped me into it.. and I'm glad they did! It was excellent! I was delightfully surprised. I was however, disgusted with the raised prices for food in the theaters! $5.75 for a SMALL POPCORN?! Wow, just... unbelievable.. the last time I went, Rick and I had gone to taco bell beforehand and I just stuffed my drink and taco in my shoulder bag. Oh I felt so weird pulling out a whole soda from my bag in the theater, hahah.
I would recommend Star Trek if you either enjoy sci fi or enjoyed the original Star Trek series. I was happy with the cast, and they even brought in Leonard Nimoy, and who doesn't love him? Simon Pegg {maybe more popularly known as shawn of the dead} played Scottie quite well! I was surprised to see a new face as the main character of Kirk! Well, apparently Chris Pine has been in a handful of films that I haven't seen {ie: the princess diaries, okay yeah I don't care about that movie so, of course...} I think he did pretty well! I find myself strangely interested in him though, and I don't like it. I've never been fans of the "pretty boys" in films, but I must say this Chris Pine guy is kind of fairly attractive. Maybe I just like his shiny eyes? Anyhows! I enjoyed the film and I hope you do too!
{honestly I hope this film does not explode in the teen scene... there were some annoying girls next to us that practically peed their pants when Nimoy showed up o__O }

I've decided to post my coordinates to my journal also, instead of just to daily lolita. Too bad I didn't think of this earlier on... XD I don't really get too many pictures of my coordinates because I hate setting up my tripod to get the shot and have to set the timer and run back and stand before it goes off.
I wish I had got some wintery shots wearing plaid, but winter doesn't last long here... but here's some plaid now! {yeah, not that it's 80 degrees out..}

I've never been that in to having lots of shoes - just what I need: hiking sandals, flip flops, running shoes, casual wear flats/sneakers, and cute dressy shoes for egl. But lately I have been wanting even MORE shoes.... and I consider myself to have more shoes than I need already! I somehow ended up with more flats than I wear or need, two pairs of running shoes..? and I bought new sneakers because I thought I lost my old ones! Turns out they were in the wrong pocket I thought they were in my suitcase... ;^___^ I don't really have anywhere to store said shoes! It's getting annoying - I had bought an actual shoe shelf, and the damn cubby holes aren't WIDE enough to fit a pair next to each other! I have to set them on top of each other and that's not how I want to take care of shoes that can get scuffed up.
Does anyone have a great shoe rack they just love?
