After getting home from the Event of the Mel-lennium (Red Robin plus walking around Eastridge + wandering around Capitol Square Mall + Target + Mel’s house), I was greeted with Code Geass and…100 dice? Give or take a few, I suppose. The dice are a lot smaller than I thought they’d be and the colors aren’t very really pretty. They might not be good stocking stuffers when they are so small… I had to pay for school today since my parents have been hounding me about it and checked my grades at the same time. Er…yeah, pretty much what I expected, though I was a little CONCERNED about Archaeology. I must redeem myself next year with my Livescribe Smart Pen. Those $150 must make me a genius!
I have to sleep in a bit for tomorrow’s SF Japantown trip so I won’t really delve into today’s details. Well, more like it’d result in my typing 1500+ words about things I don’t remember clearly since it’s been a long day. Yeah, very unlike me to not even bother, haha. Mainly because I’d rather complain about something else, heh. I suppose highlights would include us making fun of Mel and her crazyyyy driving. And Jenny being forced to associate with us hobos. And Mel harrassing the server about drinks along with Kim ordering extra spit for Mel’s meal. Oh, and Mel’s mom wanting to buy a Christmas tree. Come to think of it, what are those trees actually called…?
Regarding the two Code Geass boxsets I got, I’ve seen the packaging for the first set before, so I’m pretty satisfied with them. I think the space may be a little…much since the items actually have room to move. Not that it’s bad, but I’d rather it be a little tighter. As for the second boxset, it’s TOO TIGHT. Geez, there needs to be a happy medium. I made this ugly crease in the bottom flap. Luckily no one can see it and its ugliness can only be witnessed if I pull it again, but it lives on in my miind! The top flap is easier to pull out, but it’s still too perfect for my liking and can be worn out, so I left it out a bit to make it easier. Now it looks awkward since it’s not shoved down all the way, but I’d rather it last long and be in good condition. I wanted to take screencaps, but the DVD doesn’t seem to work well on this laptop. The subtitles are yellow on television but green and pink/red on my laptop! Very funky. I think it’s more of a laptop thing though.
I’m kind of surprised by Lelouch’s voice here. His voice is gentler and not as deep or flamboyant/overexagerrated. I don’t remember Zero’s voice being distinct from Lelouch’s. Was Fukuyama Jun getting used to the voice or did a certain event occur in the story that resulted in Lelouch’s voice being all Zero-like? Hmm, maybe it’s mentioned in the, uh, booklets. I read them but already forgot the contents!
