King's take:
We found some shirts and pants that would fit me. It was fun. We tried to find some striped socks but they were too expensive. All the yellow shirts were really big.
Then we tried Best Buy to find a CD or DVD. They didn't have much anime. We looked at the games. We were going to get Wheel of Fortune & Jeopardy, but the lady at the counter said it was $30, so we decided to try GameStop.
The game I got at GameStop was Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. I spent my $20 on it.
Then we went to Ruby Tuesday to order our lunch and drinks. Patch is going to pick us up after we finish our lunch. I'm very excited about getting endless french fries. I'm sorry they don't have honey for you. Miaka asked for honey but they didn't have any. I asked for a bacon cheeseburger.
Miaka's take:
Sorry this has taken so long to get up, I had a very bad cold that I'm just getting over.
Our plan for today was to hit the mall, as King needs some new clothes. Mom said his pants weren't fitting all that well anymore, so she asked me to help him find at least one new outfit. My cold had us getting a bit of a later start than originally planned, and not taking the bus--I was pretty miserable.
We went to Sears first, to look for pants and a shirt for King. It took us a bit to find the right spot to look for the kind of pants that would work for him, but once we found it, it didn't take long to locate a few pairs that looked quite serviceable and happened to be on sale. Once we'd picked up a good pair of on-sale pants in his approximate size, we went to look for shirts. Bright yellow, because it's his favorite colour. Unfortunately most of the bright yellow shirts we could find were size large, x-large, or xx-large. King wears about size medium. We did find one bright yellow shirt in size medium (it had a silly face on it), but it was rather expensive, so we decided to go with a plain bright-yellow shirt that was only $8 but was a size large. I figured that if it didn't fit, Mom could return it and get a different size.
Once we had pants and a shirt, we went to look at socks, but they were all about $12 or more per pack, so we decided not to get any. Off to the checkout, and then across the entire length of the mall to Best Buy, so that King could get a CD or DVD or something. He was talking about possibly picking up a One Piece DVD. Unfortunately, upon arriving at the DVD section in Best Buy, we discovered that the anime section has been reduced to part of one case-thingy. Very sad, there is almost no anime at all. And of course there was no One Piece in what little anime was present on the single section devoted to it. So King went to look at the games. He picked up a two-game box set, of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, which the shelf-tag seemed to say was $20, and therefore within his price range for the day. Get up to the counter with it, and we find out it's apparently been put away in the wrong place and is actually $30. King doesn't have $30 for today, only $20, and the cashier was not willing to fix the pricing for us, even after I brought her the price-card it had been sitting in front of, which apparently was actually for a different game. King sort of shook his head and decided to go elsewhere.
So we walked all the way back across the mall to GameStop, and King found a pre-owned Wii game to get, paid for it, and we headed to Ruby Tuesday for lunch. On the way there, I called Patch for a ride back home, since we needed to give him time to get back to Manchester.
Lunch at Ruby Tuesday was good. King enjoyed his bacon cheeseburger, and I had some very yummy chicken soup, which did have me feeling a bit better. We talked about a variety of things, including what series to start watching after we finish all of the second season of Rayearth. Patch called just as we were getting ready to pay the bill, to let us know that he'd arrived at the mall.
Because of my cold, Patch dropped me at my place and took King home, rather than having King hang out and watch more Rayearth. Next week we'll probably finish off the last disc.
