Nov. 30th, 2007 01:09 pm◆ I really need to get out and do something, but going out usually involves spending money and I really can't afford to go anymore of that. I think I may start to run under budget. But retail therapy sure works wonders (at least for awhile). I bought a 500gig external drive yesterday. It's my new baby. The one I wanted was in the brochure for $186 but they didn't have any left so the guy gave me the only other 500gig drive they had for that price. It was worth $250. I was so happy, new hard drive AND a bargain to boot. I really ought to stop though. I'm a little scared, I'm taking the kids shopping tonight 'cause they have a wedding coming up and I just -know- that I'm gonna end up buying something. ;_;
◆ Mum left for Thailand on Wednesday! I'm next~ 25 days and counting! I'm really excited. Hit a hitch yesterday though. I had honestly thought we had everything booked and paid for. Turns out I had forgotten to purchase travel insurance for me and my grandparents. Crap! This was meant to be done weeks ago! My credit card has not arrived in the mail yet so I have to borrow my stepdad's credit card since mum's not home. Will do that tomorrow once my bandwidth resets (I don't trust doing any sort of transaction with my dodgy bandwidth atm).
◆ So, not having bandwidth for nearly 2 weeks is a real killer. All the stuff that everyone on my flist is talking about, I haven't watched yet. KAT-TUN's Con DVD, ctKT, Yukan Club, Utaban (lol all Kat-tun related), and Muchaburi/Janiben etc. I haven't been able to download any of it. You watch, Imma gonna go on a download spree tonight when it hits midnight. Then I'm gonna disappear for a week while I watch everything. >.<; I swear, it happens nearly every month.
◆ NEWS TOKYO DOME CON! I don't care if this is old news. I'm a little conflicted with this news (no pun intended). On one hand, I'm estactic for them to finally get a Dome Con, but on the other hand. The day they slipped the con in is exactly one week BEFORE I get to Tokyo. *0* And I can't change any of my itinerary to accommodate it cuz well, we'll be -somewhere- in China (I don't even know where) with the family, and everything is booked and paid for. We can't even change flight dates cuz all our flights are internet-booked. SO unhappy. I've been looking into going to the Tokushima con (cause that coincides with our dates) but it's FIVE hours by shinkansen from Tokyo and no guarantee that we'll be able to get tickets. ;A; What to do? What to do?
ETA: Who hasn't left me their address yet? (scroll down) Pleeeeeease?
