Thursday, June 26, 2003 hey !! nothing much happening in my life. we're (me and my cousin stuart) playing onimusha 2. or rather, he plays and i watch, cheer, squeal, strategise (sometimes) and solve a puzzle occasionally. and me and adit borrowed all these books from the library for me to scan pics from and put on the wall.
one of them is about ukiyo-e .. or the japanese block prints of pictures from the "floating world". thems japs have been pretty obsessed with sex for a *long* time.
i will put a pic of the diver and the octopi in the photo album sometime soon. it's pretty damn funny =))
oh. and we went shopping today. i shopped and adit got dragged around. quite fun !! new cardi, new trenchcoat, and new pants. the pants rock !! rocking pants. sort of pinstriped but much cooler *whee*
oh and about the octopi. the diver is female, looks nothing like a diver. and the octopi are .. well .. think: suction cups.
