Hello my pretties. Today I tell the story of me and the trip to Edmonton.
Yes, the weekend trip to EDMT was pulled off, though barely. Was much fun however. Friday night after work, showers and changing of the car oil, Way and I departed for the great capital of our province. (whee) We met up with Kashie, Em and RockGoddess at the Sands Hotel bar. It was Kareoke night and RG was DJing it. Had fun watching drunk people try to sing, though there were several people that actually sang quite well. Kashie, Em and RG being three of them, those girl got good voices. Then we went back to Kashie's house and finished watching The Time Machine with Chuck and Jay(more friends). I was then subjected to some odd cartoons called Space Ghost and The Brak Show. Strange to say the least. Saturday morning was spent bleary eyed on the couch upon which I slept, until everyone else was up. Then Kashie decided to make pancakes which was fun. As she didn't have a recipe, she ended up calling her grandmother to get one. That required writing it down. But there was no pen or paper to be found so she dug out her trusty laptop and typed it up. After breakfast, nummy pancakes, Way, Em and I decided to hit Whyte Ave for a little shopping and browsing. Took transit to get there. Damn train stops always have to be air conditioned. But once we got there it was worth it. First stop was the Celtic Shop. I wanted a new kilt pin but they didn't have the one I was looking for. Next was Mars and Venus, a quaint little punk store. Took a look at the armsbands and chokers, but didn't see anything that looked interesting. Wandered around a bit more, stopped and had "coffee"(Coke) at Naked On Whyte Netcafe. Then came the fun part. First, we went to Sancturay, this really neat little store. They sell all sorts of New Age and Occult stuff plus clothes, make up, art work, music and calanders. So I managed to pick up a calander of Spike, red hair mascara and red and blue lip liners. The calander is for me, I like Spike he's a bishie, the make up stuff is for my sister and cousin for halloween. Then we hit Warp One. It's a comic store and I was in heaven. I went straight to the manga section and just drooled. Bought myself the three latest issues of ParadiseKiss. Way got book three of Oh My Goddess for my sister Rachel and also purchased the DVD boxset of Neon Genesis Evangelion. The people at the store actually had to search to find it, which means he got the last one. Uber cool. So then we headed home, stopping by Subway to grab some munchies for supper. Then proceeded to watch the first four dics of NGE. Again, uber cool, but also uber fscked up!!!! I got so lost.
Sunday was time to hit The Mall aka West Edmonton Mall. As it was also time to leave for Lacombe by about 6 and Em wasn't awake, Way and I went by ourselves. Had a load of fun window shopping for the most part. Way picked up cargo pants at Supply Seargent and chocolate fudge from Rocky Mountian Chocolate Factory. I of course bought chocolate as well, a watch cap from SS, some glow in the dark tape and nail polish from, well, Glow, a poster from Millenium(LOTR i think it was). two Rammstein CDs and more posters at HMV and two comic books at Comic King. HMV was the really fun part though. Half the staff in the store must think I'm out of my ever loving mind. Went to look for Rammstein in the Industrial section where they always are. Snagged the CDs I wanted and was just turning away when something caught my eye. Take a closer look, dear god can it be? Look again. Holy shit it is! De/Vision CDS!!!!! So I'm jumping around, giggling insanely "D/V CDS, D/V CDS" over and over. Now Nicki, you would understand my behavior, the HMV staff, however, did not. I got a couple wierd looks as I was drooling over the CDs. You see, De/Vision CDs are very hard to come by in North America, as in, pretty much never found. And here's the really sucky part. By the time I'd found the CDs I was out of money to spend. ARGH!!!! Oh well. At least I got some Rammstein. Hopefully those D/V's'll still be there next time I go back. I'll buy them then.
