Alphonse 2.0, Iris, and the Knights Who Say Ni

Ahh...weekends at campus. They're a fun time, mostly spent eating and doing art homework (ha!). But this weekend has been a bit more something.

Thursday night I got my new cell (via 2-year upgrade), a Pantech Jest that I've dubbed Alphonse 2.0 ('cause the original cell was Alphonse, you see).

It slides to reveal the keyboard and stuff of that nature. So far I've been playing with the keyboard to get used to it, but it shall all come in time. I've mainly been using it to communicate at night (when I should be sleeping) by hiding under the bed covers and texting to one person in particular. It's like I'm five or something.

Today, me and the crew went out shopping to Michaels to pick up paint and other such supplies. Lauren and I really want to decorate the room more for whatever occassion and began poking at the clearance items. She picked up a bowl and we began to muse.

"This would be so cool for a fish."
"I dunno..."
"Betta fish wouldn't be hard to keep. I've had them."
"Ooh! We should get one!"
"We should!"

So we got the bowl, got some rocks, and then went over to PetCo and bought our fish.

(From when we were acclimating the water temperature.)

We named her Iris, though since we kept calling her "little lady" before we thought of a name, we use that as a nickname. She has turquoise strips in her too that you see in better light, so she's quite pretty. And because I have less stuff on my desk, she gets to be on my side. 8D

After the excitement of getting a fish, we decided to run an experiment on Terumi and Jiaqi, which was watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail. They'd never seen it, so we decided they had to in order to be considered American (pardon the irony). The experiment was a success, though in a weird way, as their favorite parts were the animations rather than the scenes.

Though it is fun to have an excuse to say "ni!" to people.
