(First of all, this is a LOOOONG entry.)

Last night my sisters and my future roomie (Lauren) and I drove out to Syracuse to the Carousel Mall and saw the Death Note limited release in theaters. It was great.

One of the funnest things to do was look around the mall and see if we could spot any cosplayers. I actually saw a few and then we ran into some in Hot Topic. The exchange was priceless. There were three girls all going together, one dressed as Misa, one as L, and one as Light. I knew they were yaoi fangirls because the girl dressed as Light had L on a chain. xD It was kinda creepy.

So anyway, the girl dressed as Misa walked into the store and saw Eloise (my sister) and her Pokemon shirt that she happened to be wearing and just yelled out, “Oh my gosh! I have that shirt! Pokemon is awesome!” and she started talking to us. She said she was going to the Death Note showing and when we told her we were going too she was all squeally and hugged my sisters and I. Lol, it was funny.

So then she introduced us to her friends and we left to go to the theater and get our seats. I expected the theater to be a little more full than it was but I was glad it wasn’t jam-packed cause we got good seats and everything. The girls from Hot Topic sat behind us. I did Clarice’s hair (my other sister) so that she could look like Misa too and the girl from HT was all like, “You have my hair!”. Clarice looked super cute that way. I think I’ll do her hair like that more often, lol.

So anyway, before the movie even started people were freaking out and being normal fan-people. They were all talking about Death Note and L and how much they hate Light, yadda yadda yadda. One girl in the front stood up and turned around, asking everyone whose side they were on and most people (if not everyone) said L. No surprise there, Light’s a freak. (and L’s voice is sexier…but yeah)

Speaking of voices (and no, I’m not hearing them). I went to the movie fully convinced that it would be subtitled and we were all prepared for it (Lauren and my sisters and I). The movie came on and someone talked and once we realized it was dubbed we all just kind of looked at each other. I could FEEL the disappointment in the room because I know a lot of other people thought it would be subbed as well. In the feature film behind-the-scenes thing at the end they had subs for a lot of it and I could hear people talking about how the movie should have been like that. I agree. I’ve seen it with subs and it just looks so much better when the characters mouths move correctly.

HOWEVER, they did use the same voices as the English Dub, which was amazing and great of them to do. It made me feel better because then at least the voices were familiar and consistent and not some random person trying to sound sexy like Alessandro Juliani (L). It made me feel like they at least put some time and thought into it.

So yeah, the dub was great. It’s only the fact that the mouths don’t match the words that bugged me. Ah well, it was still great though.

My sisters loved it too. I was so happy because I was afraid it wouldn’t be their thing but they seemed to really enjoy it. I can’t wait to see if they put the second movie in theaters as well. If they do, I’m totally there. Lauren said she would be too.

So anyway, we got slightly lost on the way home. That was fun. Stupid I81 that we couldn’t find. I realized that I am a failure at life while helping someone drive and find signs, especially if I don’t have my glasses. x_x

I played spades with Jeremy until wayyy too late at night (early in the morning). It was bad. xD But yet…so fun at the same time.

Today I wasn’t planning to do much but then around 2:00 Lauren called and said she was about to go to Watertown and on the road. She said she then remembered that I would probably be home and bored too and wanted to know if I would go with her and I was like, “YES” so we went. Hah.

You people have NO idea how much of a life I DON’T have…seriously.

Anyway, so we went to Watertown with no goal and just to randomly hang out so we went to the mall and wandered around and stopped by some places including FYE where I bought a bottle of Ramune and some Japanese gum. It was kinda funny cause it was actually labeled ‘anime candy’ as if only anime fans buy/eat it. xD We stopped by the 99 cent store too and Lauren and I bought some oriental parasols for 2.99 each and we’re going to hand ours above each of our beds in the dorm. It’s going to be great. Lauren plans to do some paintings possibly that are asian-inspired for our room. It should be great, I can’t wait to see what we come up with.

I also plan to make a bunch of paper cranes over break to hang up scattered across the ceiling. It’s gonna look really awesome, especially if Lauren manages to get an asian-inspired bedset too. =) We need some anime posters/wallscrolls to top it off. (besides my fairy posters and my Sesshomaru wallscroll). Hopefully we can secure some FMA wallscrolls or something. It would be great. =)

So anyway, after we did the mall we went to Target and I got a bunch of awesome stuff from the $1 section. I LOVE their $1 section…seriously.

After that, Lauren got a call and found out she wouldn’t have to go to the stable so we went to McDonalds instead and ended up talking about random religious things, life issues, the world, creation, politics…and pretty much everything you can touch on in about an hour, lol.

It was awesome. I had a great day, or rather, a great two days. I love my life.
