[Sorry, no photos yet, the USB cable for my camera's still at Davis and I might not get around to it until tomorrow.]
And yes, this is going to be an actual recap. Of yesterday. Because it's something I usually do and I hadn't time to do it yesterday?
Right.
First off I'd like to mention that Kate's mother was driving a different car which looked black but is actually really dark green. I got picked up at around ten-ish and met everyone at Valleyfair mall, the Macy's kitchenware department entrance, where we agreed that there's something with the Lunatics and kitchenware (or just Macy's kitchenware? What good advertisement). Then we went over to ...I think Century 24 theatre? By walking. Passing Satana Row along the way, where Anna was very thrilled to discover what I shall now call the Pumpkinheads Trio...i.e. three mannequin with pumpkins for heads in the display window. It was ...very festive, I guess. Discovered that I am not up to the speed anymore on the level of randomness generally associated with a gathering of lunatics but, fear not, I think I've more than caught up at the end of the day...bad jokes included. Heh.
We got to the theatre early, so went around to the Toys R Us store next to it where Christine tried to joust with a purple unicorn (stick horse thing, don't know what to call it) and a parasol, ranted over the Lego dragons and where Lucy renewed her acquaintances with the Darth Vader respiration sounds, namesly in an aisle end that was piled full of Darth Vader mask toys. Listening to a lot of them (didn't count, sorry) go off at the same time is slightly freaky, a bit like, and I'll stick to my words, the pulmonary department in the diagnostic hospital. Bronchopneumonia much?
Left to watch movie (eventually, of course). Serentity. Sci-fi western all the way. Slightly overdone symbolism as with all movies, but overall quite good. I want to do a rant on the role of government in the progression of humanity but that'll have to wait. Toys 'R Us afterwards again (because, you know, we just can't get enough of it), funny pokemon video games where all the figures sway from side to side throughout the entire game. Walking back with Christine pretending to be on an invisible pony...which she didn't name...which eventually and unexplanably ended up in the glue factory, leading, somehow, to the discussion of Darth Vader on a pony.
Hence, you know, what I said earlier about Lunatics and randomness. Major increase of entropy.
Passed by Pumpkinhead Trio again, which Anna enjoyed. Went to Santana Row for lunch where we drove Kate crazy with our lack of preference and eventually ended up ordering pizza and observing the trouble there is with freewill, aka allowing us to costomize things. (By the way, I googled "pesto" so now I know what it is!) Where Kate obsessive-compulsively (yeah I hate grammar too, cheers) straightened the alignment of napkins, forks, tableware in general and Lucy pointed a knife at her (though event #1 is not the cause of event #2, we hope). Where Anna finally succumed to Kate's haranguing about her shirt and donned her jacket and then was freaked out by Christine who was chomping the slice of lemon they stuck on the edge of the cup, before eating her pizza with sugar.
Bookstore time next, where we added stuff to "to-read" lists and wishes there were more hours to the day to dedicate to reading (or, in my case, figuring out to get a library card at Yolo county). Back to Valleyfair and then, quite suddenly, it was time to go. I'd describe the day either as brain-melting or awesome and I think I'll stick with brain-meltingly awesome. That works, right?
And oh, Harry Potter (or Harrius Potter, in this case) in Latin is ...just...astonishing.
It was a great day everyone.
Thanks.
