dolariI can' sleep. My day has been filled with fun goodness, but these last hours were filled with a kinda melancholy that just zapped the will to do anything from me.
We had a fun filled day today, stopping by Zany Brainy to play with educational toys, and get a load of the new Playmobil stuff. From there, a snowcone at Casey's (which closes for the season this week :( ). From there, we hit an anime shop I found.
The shop is called Morning Glory, and seems to sell LOTS and LOTS of San-X stuff. Which seems to be distributed by a company called...Morning Glory. So is San-X opening up shops like Sanrio did? And if so, why such a hole-in-the-wall in Austin? Anyways, lots of good toys for girls, and robots for boys. Not to mention a game room and a viewing room that, once you close the door, looks like someone's living room (someone with a TON of money, that is).
We hit a Korean grocery after that and did "Gourmet Noodlebricking." AKA, buying good ramen, that's stll cheap. Didn't find any of the Indomie ramen I've been looking around for, that Dean and I BOTH want (oh, it's good). The problem with Korean packaging, is...well...I can't read Korean. I can phonetically read Japanese, and some survival Chinese, but Korean is beyond me. Usually buying stuff at oriental stores is easy, since ther're usually English instructions, or pictures of what flavor your ramen is on the package.
If I was to go by what Korean ramen shows on the packaging, I just bought a non-descript bowl of ramen in some kind of soup that someone put a crab on.
Thankfully, kimchee is plainly written as Kimchi, and I can skip that.
I did tell dean not to get a ramen because I actually recognized the packaging a brick of ramen. Oof, it was so bad, it seared into my head what the packaging was. Bad bad bad.
From there, we came home, I had dinner, watched some TV...then kinda sank into a funk for no reason. Just sad for the "Good old days" I guess. Go figure.
