Nothing here but my musings about daily life, books, anime, and food.
Since I went to the mall yesterday and my hun was too tired, we didn’t get the chance to do our date night. So we ended up just hanging out slightly earlier today.
So what did we end up watching?
M:I-4 Ghost Protocol. Well, we wanted to watch the 3rd installment first, but it’s currently unavailable on any of the streaming services we subscribe to. So we just decided to jump to the 4th movie. This is the last movie I watched from this franchise and is also my favorite. My hun preferred this movie as well. Why? Personally, I just like the fact that there were a lot more edge-of-your-seat sequences in this movie compared to the first and second. Don’t ask me about the 3rd movie. I don’t really remember much of that movie to make an informed decision. So for now, we are taking that installment out of the comparison.
Toy Story. We are always down for an animated movie. And my hun’s pick was Toy Story. He hasn’t watched it in years and that goes for me as well. It was a pretty cute movie. But I have questions about this Syd kid. Why in the hell was he allowed to have all those tools and dangerous things in his room to play with? Also, why the hell was a kid allowed to order a rocket? Why in hell was their dog allowed to sleep on the porch without supervision? It’s so dangerous for the dog. The dog could get hit by a car. Almost happened while the dog was running after Buzz and Woody. And yes, I am criticizing the parents of this kid. They don’t care. And I’m annoyed.
My hun and I decided to cut it short today. He was having a bit of a headache and to be honest, I was feeling the beginnings of anxiety just because it’s too hot. And I was melting on my seat. Well, still melting on my seat. My anxiety is also stemming on the fact that tomorrow is the beginning of another work week.
Yesterday was…interesting. Chris and I decided to go to the Southcenter Mall. Why? Well, we were going to the mall anyway to shop for some clothes, but we also needed to go to the grocery store to get some food for the week. So we decided to just kill two birds with 1 stone. Southcenter Mall has a grocery store in it, specifically, Seafood City. We haven’t been there since we moved to Washington. And since Jollibee is also there…Yeah, it was an easy choice.
The drive was horrible. I hate driving south. Why? You hit the downtown traffic. Didn’t help that the Emerald City Comic Con was this weekend, and there was construction going on resulting in having 4 of 5 freeway lanes being closed. Was I annoyed? Yes. I am not really a fan of driving on the Seattle downtown freeway in general and add these things and I hate it even more.
Anyway, we still got there early enough. Maybe twenty minutes after the mall opened. It was a regular Westfield mall. Something that is all over in SoCal so nothing really different about it. But the surprise was there was already a line formed outside of Jollibee! It was very interesting. But then again I was not surprised. This is the only location in the whole of Washington. So yeah. The line was expected.
What surprised me more was the fact that the mall got crowded so fast. We went to H&M first and got what we needed from there. I needed some shirts for work so I got that. Chris got a button-down shirt for a wedding she will be going to in September. After that, we went to JC Penny to see if there were some dress pants. Then we went to a cellphone place since I have been wanting to change my carrier for a while now. That process took a lot longer than I wanted but it got done.
We got some sushi for lunch. We haven’t had sushi in a while so that hit the spot. I had a sashimi plate combo – it had 6 pieces each of salmon, tuna, and yellowtail. It also came with cucumber salad and miso soup, as well as fresh seaweed salad with octopus. It was so good. After that, we went to Seafood City to get some groceries, then to Valerio’s Bakery to get some bread, and of course Jollibee.
Driving home was not too bad. It was a bit of traffic in the downtown area but it was not too bad compared to driving to the mall. The rest of the day was spent just relaxing. Why? It was too hot to really do anything. And honestly, I do not like being at the mall for hours. So I was tired. I practically just spent the rest of the day in front of the fan and ate a lot of treats from Valerio’s Bakery.
