HELLO DOGGY

Went to a movie with Jenn the other night. i rode a bus and then the max out to beaverton, where she met me. we went over to the cedar hills mall and had about an our to kill before going to the flick. we decided to wander and browse.

inside the frou frou japanese toy store (nothing but chococat, hello kitty, etc) we looked about and jenn located the above notebook. for $1.50, we almost walked out with it because it was so engrish we couldnt stop staring at it.

“when you left me… the sunshine filled this empty room.”

we could not quite put a finger on the meaning, intended and mistranslated,nor the new meaning.

if this were a greeting card, it would just be one that was sarcastic and funny.. but as a notebook of paper, it was a new thing all together. does it mean the person was very large and they blocked the light? does it mean that he dog owner was a real jerk and the dog hates them? maybe it is a simple commentary about how the owner/loved one works during the day, and when they leave it happens to be when the sun comes up?

leaving the shop, we went over to powells book store and perused books for a while. i can spend hours in any book store, small and local or big and corporate. i cant help it. we poked about and i managed to find a new copy of “go ask alice” which i have been meaning to read again for quite some time. (jenn loaded me up after the movie with 5-6 more books from her storage unit, so i am now swamped with reading, an awesome situation to be n even at its worst.)

the movie enchanted ended up being fairly hilarious. going to the film was near spur of the moment. we discussed wanting to see it on a previous day. i didnt even know it had been released until i received a text message from mouse stating she really enjoyed it.

jenn and i laughed the whole way through it. it was clever and witty and overall not the average disney princess film (though i like those too).
