Pointy objects! [spont.]

I woke up this morning to a lot of snow. That sucked, considering I wanted to go to the mall with my neighbour to pick up some pointy objects. But I wanted to go to Chinatown first because my neighbour wanted bubble tea and oftentimes collectables are more inexpensive there (even if they're 'made in China,' but sometimes quality doesn't matter that much). The one that I got was the only one left in the store, so it was the display model, and its chain was broken and it's missing a couple of screws on the sheath. Oh well, at least it's fixable (it'd be a little difficult to find the correct size of screw though), and I got a discount for it. And I got a journal notebook that I had had my eye on since the Fall (October, I think?).

Then we went to the mall and I was going to buy another, more practical sort of pointy object, but (again) they only had the display model left for the one I wanted, and they couldn't find the box (or the sheath) for it, so it wasn't worth it for me.

Anyway, I was surprised to find a copies of the Russian film Kukushka (which I had screened at the Calgary International Film Festival last year) at A&B. I had been trying to find a copy of that without the Russian dubbing over the Finnish and Saami parts, and here it was, so I had to buy it because it's such a funny movie! Then I didn't know what to get my mom for Mothers' Day, and I knew that she liked Shirley Temple films but I couldn't find any, but I remembered that she liked Gone With the Wind so I got that for her.

[Ooh, she just came home and I gave it to her, and she loved it!]

Anyway, that's enough talking for now, I really need to get back to work on my project for Virtual Science Fair (ahem, it's not really me working, because I can't program, but I'm the one trying to get Paul to work faster to finish by the midnight deadline).
