Could My Summer Get Any Better... I Think Not

These are the little terrors that have recently been preventing me from getting anything done. But I loves them anyway. They are also my new kittens. Well 2 of them anyway, we had to give the other away.

About a week ago one of my friends who works on the farm down the rod told me that someone had just dropped off 3 black kittens in a box at night on the front step of the main house. The farmers didnt want anything to do with them and were pretty much just goign to let them go free and the survial of the fitest rule take its course. He didn't want this to happen and decided to call me since he knows I just love cats (I already have 2 other black cats), and if we wouldnt take them than he would bring them to the shelter where they may or may not be adopted.

We were finally about to convince my parents to let us have not one but two of them (the other would be lonely without a playmate was our reasoning), and they are my first kittens in at least 10 years. They are like my children and I love to cuddle with them and watch them play. Unfortunately I am leaving for college in less than a month an I wont even get to see them for a long time. So, basically my sister who doesnt even like cats a much and wont take the responsibly to care for them most of the day is going to get them instead. TT_TT How can I give away my babys?!

Oh btw their names are Luna (named by moi) and Roxy (named by my sister and her friend). I was thinking about giving her an anime name, but decided against it since I knew I would be the only one who would be able to pronounce/spell it correctly. However, my next cat is soooo going to be named Aruruu LOL.

Chinatown Here I Come

In other news, I am going to be traveling to the California San Fransisco Bay area tomorrow for a week. Family reunion and grandparents anniversary aside, Im hoping to get to go to a few other more fun places like Chinatown too since I havnt been there in a couple years. Of course my little cousins will be tagging along with us but I dont mind too much as long as I get to go. Maybe Ill even get to go to Japantown if Im lucky.

After that once I return Ill spend a large portion of my time packing and planning how to pack for my NCSU dorm moving day on Aug 16th so Im assuming this will be may last journal for at least a month. I dont even know where to start unfortunately when it comes to packing. Then my first week I have a whole bunch of events to attend every day and then classes start on the 20th. Then comes the homework. I see myself being very busy in the future but hopefully Ill be able to fit a few drawings in every once in a while. Wish me luck.

Better Class of Criminal Indeed

So I just came back from seeing The Dark Knight (seriously, who hasnt), and I feel I must confess that I have fallen in love with the joker.

Heath Ledger's interpretation and performance as the joker was nothing short of brilliant. I could not even recoginze him at all. There are no words to even describe how awesome the joker is in this movie. Finally, someone did it right, really caught the essence of the character that other movies and cartoons could not.

The joker is not a clown and not a comedian. He does not want money or power. He is a scarily smart psychotic murderer with no particular objective other then upsetting the balance of the bland and stable world around him. The little quirks and habits like the way he licks his lips, the way he walks, how he hold himself and addresses others are all so real and tangible in this movie. His character just comes to life so vividly I have a hard time believing he is not a real person.

Also the gadgets, like always, were awesome too. But god, hands down the best thing ever is the Batpod/motorcycle. That thing was well... sexy. I loved it and practically cheered every time I saw it, watching raptly on the edge of my seat trying to study it.

The movie was a bit long but it was so worth it. If you havnt seen it yet...get up off your ass and go NOW!!!
