Damn, the snow stuck.

I had to clear off the car and shovel the driveway a little when I drove Maryann to the train this morning. But I wore my fleece Artemis Neko Hat (made by Carrie), so it completely made up for it. I ♥ my Artemis neko hat!

So it was just me, Juliet and Will who went to see Aeon Flux this Friday. The movie was better than I feared it might be, but not as good as I'd hoped. From Juliet's POV -- someone who has never seen the MTV cartoon -- she enjoyed it, and at least the plot seemed to make sense. I did like the feel of the movie, and I enjoyed it. But mostly, it got me excited to see the cartoon again. I had downloaded all of the episodes from WinMX last year, and never got around to watching all of them... but then after my harddrive crashed, they were lost. =( Now that WinMX is not free (I seem to remember, according to gokumew2), I'm considering buying the DVD of the complete series, with extras, on eBay for... I've seen around $35 including shipping. And I know that Paypal has some holiday 10% off coupon, so it would be closer to $30. I'm thinking about it. If anyone knows of a download or torrent for it, I am totally willing to be persuaded not to waste $30 on the official DVD.

Maryann and I drove over to Victor's house last night for a lil get-together with Chris, Carrie, Sean Kelly, and Crystal. Which was actually quite nice. Haven't seen them since once in mid-October! We've all been so busy with work and school and such. I was so happy to just go and hang out (especially since I had the car)! We played Soul Caliber 3 (which I hadn't seen until then, but I'll have to get for Liz) and kind of watched some of Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, which was MUCH better than I thought it would be! I really liked what I saw of it (and I think I'm one of the few who really didn't like Mononoke Hime, although I think that's mostly due to the fact that I thought the dub REALLY REALLY SUCKED, and haven't seen it subbed)! When we were leaving at around 3am, it was snowing ~ so pretty! Drove Chris & Carrie back to Chris's house. Crystal lives in Queens, so I gave her a ride home, then back to my house. The drive in the snow was beautiful and exciting ~ 'cause it was snowing softly, not so much that it blinded. I really do love making the drive over to Staten Island, I guess just 'cause I enjoy driving a lot and it's a long enough drive that I can enjoy it, but not so long that it's tedious. And also, the fact that when we leave there are barely any cars on the road adds to the enjoyment. ^_~

I'm really looking forward to hanging out again for New Year's Eve (if not sooner).

Hmm?? WinMX is still free. S'just its servers are "shut down," though there's a patch to get around that. Yar. Tell me if you need it and I'll up it for you.

Oh, okay. I must have been skimming that day, I don't know where I got that idea. Could you ul the patch for me, though? Sankyuu!
