Ooooh ....
Damn long day.
Hied our collective butts into Portland - and over to PCC to see about ID cards and arranging for Direct Dep of my FinAid haul (which I won't see until well after the term has started. This is a pain in the butt, even if their reasoning is sound. Anyway.)
Then PSU, so Andi can arrange for things. Turns out that's a little more complex than first anticipated.... typical.
Then, we hit Regal's Fox Tower 10 to see Howl's Moving Castle. (From the novel of the same title by Diana Wynne Jones. I've read it, Andi hasn't. Can I find a copy in Powells? No. *sigh*)
Oh, /wow/. Okay, so it didn't follow the book that closely. Who /cares/!? The scenery, the story - it was good! Of course, I've come to expect good stuff from Studio Ghibli and the guy who did Spirited Away (.. I can't spell his name correctly for the life of me and I refuse to garble it!) and was not disappointed here.
Now I have to get my paws on the book so Andi can read it. Heh. (Btw, I recommend /both / - but read the book first, if you can...)
After that, we hiked /way/ the hell up Sandy to Gustav's and had dinner. (Gustav's - German restaraunt Andi wanted to test out. ^^) ... we were favourably impressed. Hell, I'd go back just for the raspberry lemonade and the salmon.... ^^
In other news, the kitten has /finally/ been given an official name. He's 'Omen' - hopefully, a /good/ Omen! ^.~ (Well, not so good right now - he's trying his best to 'help' me type this out ... Heh.)
We decided to call him that after I pointed out his habit of getting /right/ in your ear (laying down, or sitting up - he gets up on your shoulder) and mewling and moaning. He's very vocal. ^^
... and wtf is up with Blogger?! My previous two posts are all the way the hell down under the goodie-box - what's up with that?!
