Birthday and OMGWTF....

savvyliterateI had a very VERY enjoyable birthday yesterday. It actually began Friday night when I opened up a package from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ely_chan and thelonepig and out sprung a stuffed Kirara doll!! SQUEE!!! I squealed and immediately hugged the little stuffed youkai. Then I hunted down the real Kirara and managed to snap a picture of the two together. Very sweet. I'll post it when I get a chance.
Then I headed to Atlanta yesterday for the Anime on DVD manga gathering. It was a lot of fun and I spent a few hours chatting with good people, eating some of the best Japanese food I've had in a long time and having fun. On my way out, I stopped by Oxford Comics and they had Inuyasha Movie #2: "The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass!" I squeed again and snatched it. Yes, it is a bootleg. No, I don't care. To be frank, this is the only bootleg that I own and the movie is so good that it's worth it. WHEN is is released legitimately here in the United States (2005 or 2006 at the rate Viz is going) I will purchase the legitimate release. Again, it is that good.
Then I headed to Tuscaloosa. During the trip I listened to the Inuyasha CD drama, "The Shichinintai Who Waited in Hell," and got a few good laughs out of it. I figured out what Inuyasha and Bankotsu were doing with the "baka" deal too. They were trying to see who was the bigger idiot. My favorite parts:
When Kagome "osuwari"s Inuyasha and amazes all the oni. So she starts singing "osuwari" and repeatedly slams him into the ground. She was having WAY too much fun.
When the Inuyasha-tachi decide to use their respective attacks to take out the Shichinintai and Kagome freaks out, screaming at everyone not to do so. Kagome goes spastic. I love it!
Mukotsu asking Miroku if he preferred Kagome or Sango, then the men proceed to check out the ladies.
Jakotsu's singing.
Whatever Sango was saying to Kagome about Inuyasha. I know she was talking about their relationship because of how flustered Kagome got.
Inuyasha and Bankotsu calling each other "baka" then forcing the others to prove which one was the bigger idiot.
Kagome calling them BOTH idiots.
Hatchi talking everyone into drinking the drug that sends them to Hell to begin with.
Inuyasha forcing said drug down everyone's throat. Why am I not surprised?
Jakotsu having a dog and naming it "Inuyasha."
The Shichinintai's cooking skills and how they prepared the food.
Inuyasha-tachi countering with ramen (or I assume that it was ramen.)
The ending, where Kagome realizes Inuyasha is sad and he is because he wanted to see if Kikyo was in Hell. Kagome get a VERY evil voice and says if he tries anything with Kikyo, that she will "osuwari" him back to Hell and proceeds to do so.
I then got to Tuscaloosa and had a very fun night with Celeste,caligogreywings, shamaneyes and a new friend, Laura. Nicky made her VERY excellent pan-fried chicken and I had nice discussions with everyone. Nicky, Laura and I plan to head to Birmingham today. I'm treating Nicky to dinner as a belated birthday present. Celeste got me the remaining volumes of Cardcaptor Sakura that I was missing. Wai!
I also spoke to my family on the phone and got two big shockers. My oldest brother got a 52-inch TV. WOW...I'm going to stop by his house and see it on my way back to Bristol on Monday. Then my dad told me he got a 2004 Jaguar. That was the OMGWTF moment, which is what my brother and I both agreed on. Daddy with a Jaguar...oi ve. Oh well. He's almost 54. He's a big boy now. Still...wow.
