#1: Had some friends over to watch Seven Pounds. It was just as excellent the second time through, and amazing to see how they worked all the details together to lend to the plot. I know I keep harping on it, but see this movie. :)
#2: I visited Pepperdine twice, Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday I went for an "official" visit; tour, meeting with a counselor, all that. I was very impressed. Friday, a friend of mine from China was in So Cal visiting colleges, and she was going to Pepperdine that afternoon, so I decided to join up with her. All in all I love the school, and it seems like a good fit. Right now it's about 95% certain I'll be going there this upcoming fall. I'll be commuting from home, but I think I'll like driving through Malibu Canyon everyday. ^^
#3: I've kept my "classic rock" playlist on whenever I've been in the car this week. Gosh, the 80's were such good years for music. Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Asia, Eagles, Van Halen, all that good stuff. :) Here's a wonderful bit from Asia's debut album (that I consequently have had stuck in my head for quite some time.) Asia really has one of the most "classicly 80s" sound I've ever heard. If that makes sense. =P
Only Time Will Tell - Asia
#4: I *finally* was able to go into Teavana at the Oaks. It was a friend's birthday, and we were hanging out around there, when suddenly I saw it. I could feel it drawing me. As I entered, the aroma of heavenly tea surrounded me. Heh, it was almost that dramatic. =P Anyway, I didn't have money with me, but I found two teas that I'm definitely going back to get: a chai mate (not sure how those to mix), and Jasmine Oolong. Very good smelling, and I'm sure they taste even better. That time at the mall was grand... got to spend some time with people I haven't spent time with in a long while.
#5: I had my first experience with Wii this weekend. First was Friday night, when I was ridiculed by the Wii Fit's board. I was hanging out with the friend from China and another good friend, and got to play some balance games with her family. It was tough stuff. But almost more hilarious than DDR. =P Ah, and apparently Mr. Sahakian thinks I look like Philipp Lahm from the Munich soccer team. I'm not so sure...
#5: The second experience with Wii was on Sunday at the Cragoes house. I was playing Sammie, Gracie, and Danielle at SupermarioKart. I can't say I was *that* great at it, but I got 1st out of 12 once, and I'm very proud of that. I think Wii did a great job of adapting the game from the original. That's one videogame I've always enjoyed... especially when I get to be Luigi.
#6: I think I'm finally coming around to So Cal weather. Even though it was blazing hot on sunday, it was gorgeous in it's own way. We took a lovely walk to the park. I love parks... they usually tend to show the community side of people. It's beautiful.
