Yay ^^ This week seems to be starting out much better. **prays it will keep on that way. Doesn't want another week like the last one.**
I've watched some of the stuff I got. Not all of it yet. I saw some of Cowboy Bebop, but not really enough to make a good assessment XD I liked the first episode, but the second one wasn't of the same quality. I think I've already determined that the episodes I will probably like best are ones dealing with Spike's past because they will most likely be very angsty. The two episodes I saw were Session #5: Ballad of Fallen Angels, and Session #19: Wild Drive (I think. It was Wild something XD). I really REALLY enjoyed the first one for the most part. There was some good character development (another favorite thing), some kewl "return from the dead" kinda scenes, and oh man, the scene when Spike was shoved out the cathedral window was spectacularly done! I will be watching some more episodes, but I wanna get the scoop on which ones have the most character development ^^ I've heard that My Funny Valentine is good.
I also saw Adventures in Baby-Sitting. LOL! Oh that movie was priceless XD The only thing that could've made it better would be if they took out the swearing >< If I could find a TV version or something that had the bad language cut out of it, I know I'd buy it for keeps ^^ It was just the kind of movie I enjoy.
The girl is trying to baby-sit, but then her friend who tried to run away from home calls from the bus station and begs to be taken home. So! Off goes Chris the baby-sitter, with her charges in tow XD And they get into all sorts of trouble! First the car tire blows out, then they get towed into the city by a guy who winds up fighting a brawl with some dude who was fooling around in his house and a gun goes off! So Chris gets everyone into another car, which is in the process of being hijacked! They wind up at a car thieves' hideout from where they must escape XD Then they're chased all over town because Daryl took a magazine that has criminal information in it. They even wind up having to sing at a blues club! That was one of the best scenes ^^
Let's see . . . after the blues club . . . I think it was the train scene. Two rival gangs start fighting and Chris tries to make them stop until she can get the kids off the train. Then they start cussing at her and Brad gets mad and stands up to them. So then there's a bit of a fight and a knife goes into Brad's shoe. Ouch. Then Chris takes the knife and forces them to allow her and the others to pass.
So they take Brad to the hospital where he gets one stitch. He doesn't think that's good enough for what will probably be the only gang fight he's ever in. XD He loves Chris (he's only two years younger than her) and wants her to be impressed with him. The doctor, meanwhile, is half-asleep and hears that another patient with stab wounds has died. So then, as might be predicted, the doctor mixes the patients up and tells Chris that her friend has died. And she promptly faints in horror. XD! So then Brad comes in and he's like, "What's going on?!" And there's some sibling and friendship cuteness! ^^ Then Chris wakes up and goes, "Oh, I had the most horrible nightmare. We were running from some guys . . ." And then she trails off and is like, "Wait. It really is happening, isn't it?!"
So then they're running again and they meet the mechanic guy who towed them. He says that he paid for the broken windows, but Mr. Dawson the owner says Chris has to pay for the tire. And it's $50 that they don't have XD But they manage to get hold of $45 after they meet a nice guy at a frat party Daryl insists on investigating. Mr. Dawson doesn't want to let them have the car at first because they're five dollars short, but there's a cute scene between him and Sara (the little girl, who think that he's her idol Thor) and finally he agrees to let them just take the car and go ^^
But still their problems aren't over. They see Chris's boyfriend's car in front of the fancy restaurant he was supposed to take her to and Chris realizes that he stood her up instead of taking care of his sick sister, like he said he was going to. So Chris goes in to yell at him, and Brad does too, and then Daryl kicks the guy XD Sara, meanwhile, takes a eclair and goes to look in the window of the huge toy shop. Then she gets chased by the bad guys right into the huge building where her parents are having a party!
So then the others come out of the restaurant, see her role-playing cape and realize that she went in there. Chris takes a mink coat and hides amongst the guests in the party. Sara's been chased outside now and is clinging to a window right there looking in to the room where the party is. Another bad guy inside notices, but the parents don't XD
Chris, Brad, and Daryl run to rescue Sara and manage to get her inside safely. Then the guy who stole the car comes up and helps them get away 'cause he's really a good guy at heart ^^ They manage to get Brenda and return home without the parents ever knowing what happened! All in all, a very very funny and suspenseful movie ^^ I REALLY wish I could find a copy that doesn't have the swearing in it.
.......... Not all modern music screams @@ There's some really good artists nowadays. It's not like the only decent pieces are 200 years old. XD LOL. This is a new subject now. But some of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard were released in the last few years. I just need to sing them in my vocal range and everything's fine. ^^ I can't think of anything more lovely (save for hymns) than the words and melody of songs such as There You'll Be and Remember Me This Way ^^ I just adore those songs and I love to sing them =) I prefer to do it without a piano, though, 'cause the sheet music is too low for my range XD But I can sing them in my usual operatic voice when I do it a capella. ^^ It's a lot of fun.
