Snow first hit us on Sunday. :D Unfortunately, it wasn't dangerous enough for school to be canceled yesterday. :( While I was driving to school though, I was at a stoplight and suddenly an icicle came crashing down from the light. XD I was lucky it didn't hit me and that I was at a stop. It sure jolted me though. Haha. So yesterday evening I ended up watching the news to see if it got any worse. It sure did, and school today is canceled! I jumped when they announced it and high-fived my mom (who works for the school district too). XDD YAY FOR US. I went to bed soon after and then our electricity went out. My first thought was, "My BT download! T___T" LOL. I'm so sad.

This is what it looks like in my backyard. I wish there was more snow, but I guess the ice is bad enough on the roads.

And a close-up of the ice on the branches. :) Winter is such a wonderful season.

I also found THIS on the kitchen counter when I arrived home from school yesterday. I just stood there shocked for a minute at least. I love my dad. He knows how much I wanted this movie on DVD. I was eventually going to buy it for myself. He found it for $5.95; well, I don't know how much he loves me but we sure are a frugal family. XDD

Date: 2007-12-12 12:09 am (UTC)And yay! Iwo Jima! I am actually forcing my aunt to buy me the DVD or the VCD at least for Iwo Jima but to no avail. I love Iwo Jima.... Although my aunt thinks the purpose of my purchase is because of Nino.. Sad.

Date: 2007-12-12 12:43 am (UTC)XDD Yeah, I've watched Iwo Jima twice in one night. Once, by myself and once with my dad. I think I've convinced him enough that I wanted it. If I were you, I'd go on and on about how learning the history of the war is very educational, etc. XD That might help.
I have family who live in CA and they just recently moved to Kansas, where I live. They've said they never seen snow, ever until now. D= During the wintertime over there, it just gets chilly. Maybe in the upper areas of CA, there's a small chance of snow but I don't know either. XD

Date: 2007-12-12 08:28 am (UTC)We have tons of copies of Iwo Jima here and they never run out of stock [ironically Flags has less copies..] so I am waiting for the holiday sale sometime in late December and January. My aunt always buys loads of DvDs to watch during holiday breaks because she's a movie addict and I benefit too since I would just smile [really really big hopeful smile] and hold up a copy of the movie I want and voila! Rush to the cashier or you'll never gonna have it.. Hahaha!

Date: 2007-12-12 02:23 am (UTC)OMG! Where did your dad find Letters From Iwo Jima for $5.95? I added that to my Amazon wish list for like a year, and those used ones are still $7. WTF. They have like 95 used and new and it's still 7 bucks. I'm not buying it unless it's under 6 dollar! LOL. That movie is SO good. Your dad really loves you! =D Too bad Nino never come to the West Coast for the promotion. Ugh.

Date: 2007-12-12 02:44 am (UTC)I so agree! I LOVE this movie. :D I explained how I got it to Kaori but Copy & Paste works too. XDD [lazy]
"At our local supermarket (which has a movie rental), after a DVD has been out several months and can no longer be a 'New Release', they'll usually put it on the shelves right outside of the rental area for $7.95 and then later $5.95. My dad and I have been waiting FOREVER for them to put out Letters from Iwo Jima and they just recently put out just 2 copies. Luckily, my dad rents movies so often he was able to grab one for me. :D We went back again today and there weren't anymore copies. We definitely were lucky. *__*"
Flags of our Fathers (with tons of copies) was available months ago and I was about to give up because it just wouldn't make sense to sell that DVD and not Iwo Jima. XD Good thing I waited.
And yeah, it's too bad. If Nino ever came to West Coast for a promotion, I'd be rushing over there. No one ever comes to the Midwest for anything. LOL. Although, I'd probably hear about it too late; I never know these things until after they've already returned to Japan. XD

I love winter and snow. Your backyard looks so pretty! My backyard is just a large patch of grass, no trees or anything.
And wow you got a great deal on the Letters from Iwojima dvd!

Date: 2007-12-14 12:36 am (UTC)Aw, thank you! It actually doesn't look that nice. I just cut off the parts of the ground that stuck out. Haha. XD So basically, only the trees are pretty. *_*
