Today has been a very good day so far and it's not even over yet, woo! It started off after midnight technically with me playing lots of LOTRO with [livejournal.com profile] believeitup (haha, I almost typed user=portobella XD ♥) and loving it, which was very fun and kept me up until after 5am, woo for late nights! Then I slept until 10:30am or so when mom woke me up and I got up (around 11am though >.>) and headed into the city, where I had an elaborate plan to see two movies. She dropped me off at the mall and took my vehicle and went to hang out with my sister, whose boyfriend was working today, so it was win all around.

First up: Smart People )

After the first movie I had a little over an hour to kill, which I did by browsing around the mall and popping across the road to the comic store to get my subs (new Angel and Buffy ones, plus picked up JSA #14 and Serenity: Better Days #2). I also picked up some D&D Miniatures, a starter kit of that and one booster pack, as something to try out with either my cousin or my sister's boyfriend when he comes out. For some reason I want to try that stuff out again, see if I can get into it. I got some miniatures for it aaaaages ago and they're on the shelf, I hope they're compatible with the ones I got today. We'll see later on I guess! I also bought a book called the Guiness Book of World Records: Gamer's Edition 2008 which is all about video game records, seems like an interesting book to pick up and browse from time to time, which is about all the reading I do lately, something else I want to change if I can.

Then it was back to the mall for the second movie: Forgetting Sarah Marshall )

(I cut the movies for those who wish to remain spoiler free, though I don't think there are any real details in there to spoil anyone. But just to be safe!)

After that, I met up with my mother and sister and we went back to Jen's place, dropping her off after deliberating about going out for supper or not. We decided not to, and after a quick stop off back at the comic store (this is when I bought the aforementioned D&D things, not on the first trip), Wendy's next door for supper, then at my friends Joni & Alex's to drop off a towel I had taken from them (they were in Cuba and while staying overnight there last week I brought home one of their towels I used to wash & dry rather than leaving it at their place all wet), we were on the road back home. We got back out around 9:15pm or so, after first stopping to pick up some supper for dad who had called on mom's cell while were on our way out to say he was hungry and hadn't made anything for himself. XD

And then I watched the remainder of the Boston/Montreal game 6 in Boston, omg. Such a see-saw battle, the B's went up 4-3 with 4 mins. left in the 3rd but they let Montreal score frickin' 11 seconds after that. Luckily they ended up scoring the game winner with just over 2 minutes left and held on to win, forcing a do-or-die game 7 for both teams on Monday night in Montreal, where they blew out the Habs last time 5-1. Here's hoping there's a repeat performance this time around! Even if not, I'm so damn proud that they've gone this far with the team with the best record in the East (note I didn't say the best team in the East). Lots to build on from what they've already accomplished and worst-case scenario they've worn the Habs down for the second round should they win, which I hope they don't. Go Bruins! :D *uses appropriate icon*

I also randomly came across this FigurePrints site, I forget how, and I know I've been there before but not lately. It's basically a business that offers to make a collectible figure of your World of Warcraft characters for a price, using a fancy 3D printer to make them. Demand is so high (and it takes so long to make them) that there's a monthly lottery to determine who gets to order their characters, and after reading this article about it all, I signed up on the site and put my name in the hat for the April 25th draw. It sounds really neat and looks cool too, and my main character, a level 60 Paladin named Rhorx, is still linked in the WoW Armory much to my delight. I think if I win the option to get one I'll reactivate my WoW account once again and make sure I pick / buy the right gear to make him look as cool as possible, hehe. My others are still there too which is nice to see, but he's the one I miss the most. Here's hoping I get the chance to order him soon!

Annnnnnnd last but certainly not least, [livejournal.com profile] believeitup will be home from work soon and we will be able to chat, which will be the perfect icing on the cake for the day, huzzah! And this is the longest entry I've posted in ages, holy crap. I'm hoping to get back in the habit of using this thing again, so here's hoping this is a good sign that I'll have more to write about. :)
