...Then got it immediately annulled. Why I am not surprised? Did some tequila and a 'Friends' episode inspire her? Well, it's all "reported," so maybe I should have some doubts about our beloved B.S.

Hee, I finally got my RK Theme Song Collection CD... Yaaarg... having to take a subway and bus to Queens just to get it... (an anime "warehouse"). The train ride was nothing, but I accidently took the bus that went in the wrong direction and rode it for almost half an hour to Jamaica rather than the 10 minutes to College Point!! Stupid!! At least I wasn't alone... but when I got on the bus that went in the right direction, I think it was the same! I thought the driver looked suspiciously familiar, and I remembered this cracked part above the exit (and my friend recognized the oil stains on the back of the bus). How embarassing...

Happy late New Year and early Three King's (and way early Chinese New Year's -- money, money, money).
