Man, what an exhausting Saturday. First I took my parents to the station, then I met Demi and we walked in and out of shops all day. In the morning the bigger shops were packed, around 11 there were already long queues of people in front of the counters, it took us almost 3 hours to see just a couple of shops, it was insane. Luckily in the afternoon things got better, we steered clear of the most crowded streets and were able to buy a few things in relative peace. Demi bought a lot of things, I bought only a few but I'm very happy with what I found. Especially because I found these:

♥♥♥♥♥
I literally gasped when I saw them, I hadn't seen them around before. Sadly the first 2 shops that sold them didn't have my size (damned big feet), but the third one did. Hah, I hadn't worn a pair of Converse since my first year of high school. I still think shoes are too expensive, though.
And the rest of my shopping was a bit "teen-oriented" as well.

If you had told me I'd buy a strapless top last year I would have laughed in your face. But when I saw it yesterday I thought "Why not?" Weird how people change.

Another top from the same series. I like the casino theme.

And an "Emily the Strange" T-shirt. Such a glam kitty.
No wonder people think I'm still 19. But hey, there wasn't all this cool stuff around when I was 16, so I'm buying it now.
In the evening we went to Demi's place and had dinner while watching the football match, then Demi's boyfriend came around, but we were all too tired to go out, so we watched a few episodes from "The Twilight Zone" DVD. I had never seen the series before, but now I understand why it's so famous. We only saw three episodes, but it was very clear that series is a milestone, there were situations or techniques that are still used nowadays. Like, there's someone at the wheel, he/she moves the rear-view mirror and sees someone sitting in the back seat. How many times has that been used? They didn't just invent a genre with that series, they invented a whole new part of the cinematografic language.
And it was very interesting to see how people in the '50s thought of the future, the idea of space-travel, the looming shadow of a nuclear war. It all reminded me of Philip Dick, who wrote some science fiction classics around that time and is one of my favourite authors.
But I was too tired to stay and watch more and I'm also easily frightened, so I called it a night around 1.30 am. I'd really like to watch some other episode, but not so late at night. :P
And it feels damn good to play piano after such a long time. *sigh*
