eve_primeOur first day of vacation was pretty low-key, both of us being tired. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fractal9091 arrived around 2:30 p.m., and we started with a picnic in the meadow on the south side of our neighborhood hill, which is currently filled with tall grass and queen anne's lace; we ate smoked-turkey-and-tilsit sandwiches. We also tried to read (Ella Enchanted for J. and more of Blue Adept for me) but were uncomfortable in the sun so came home and resettled under the cottonwood tree in the back yard instead. After R&D came home, I grilled up some buffalo cheeseburgers (that is, buffalo meat + cheddar, not beef + buffalo cheese), and we read outside some more. In the evening, we watched The Rundown, which I'd seen two-thirds of (keyboard_monkey, you know, I haven't heard of any more movies from The Rock in some time, what's up?). We then watched half of a DragonBall Z episode, a show called Project A-Ko, and half an episode from the most recent season of Charmed.
We were pretty unclear on Project A-Ko. It felt like an episode but was presented like a movie. A-Ko is a red-headed teenage girl with superpowers, very pretty except when she eats, and C-Ko is her ditzy blonde best friend and a royal princess. They live in a town which uses an alien spaceship as its rec center; the aliens are sort of transvestites, that is, they are drawn "male" (this is all anime, of course), and have deep voices, but wear evening gowns. Meanwhile, classmate B-Ko is conspiring to get C-Ko away from A-Ko (hard to understand why it's not the opposite), and B-Ko's father (who can fly around in sort of a bustier-thing) is a tycoon who wants control of the spaceship. Ahh, and here the web helps out: Project A-Ko is a series of six movies, and the one we saw last night was #2, "Plot of the Daitokuji Financial Group."
