ahhhh, life is good!

hey, my parents left for estonian class a few hours ago and i'm feeling good. for about an hour after they left me and my brother peter read books and played all sorts of games (patty cake anyone?). then he got tired of that and started being fussy and asked me to put on a video for him, now you have to understand, when i say he "asked" i mean he got a video, hit me in the leg with it, then pushed me over to the VCR and threw the video at me. he can be quite persuasive. so anyway i put the video on for him and he sat down on a chair. i decided that he could take care of himself for a minute and went on the computer to check my email. i had gotten nothing interesting and was just getting off when i noticed something. it was quiet, too quiet. i slowly got up from the computer and stuck my head into the living room, expecting to either see (more of) a mess, or peter holding something that he had ripped apart. i looked in and what did i see? peter lying on the chair, snoring lightly, the video had put him to sleep. and i didn't even think i had to worry abuot putting him to sleep for another half an hour! awesome! so then i went and made raman noodles for me and my sister, and got to eat in peace, with out peter screaming.


so now its an hour later, my parents still aren't back, peter's still sleeping, and i feel like blogging. sorry about that last post, don't you just hate it when i think? when i think too much and then blog about it its real annoying, sorry. but anyway i want to tell you about the new kauba maja (literal translation would be like "stock house" stock as in stock in a store, or at least thats the best translation i can think of). this thing is huge! and it's not just a kauba maja or i wouldn't care, this is a mall!! a big, fat mall!! straight in the middle of tartu!! well yesterday this huge place opened and me and my friend Liis had wanted to go shopping for someones birthday anyway, not anyway important of course. and definitely not sarah! ;-) so we decided why not go check out the new kauba maja! i mean the whole place was packed with people but who cares! right away we went and got some food, not the best but whatever. and it was nice becuase since it was the first day of the resturant we went to they didn't have a price for the Liis ordered so we had to stand around for, no kidding, around 15 minutes while they worked this all out. so by the time we sat down our food was cold(ish) and we ate and were satisfied enough.


then we went exploring! we went first to kauba maja. now i know your saying "i thought you were already in the kauba maja!" but no, this was the kauba maja within the kauba maja. so we looked around and of course after 2 minutes i figured out this store was a bad idea. becuase i was in a department store with a 14 year old girl! "oh look at this!!! isn't that cute!!! oh, smell this perfume!!!" and the whole time i'm thinking "RUN RUN RUN!!!!". but anyway we found nothing of interest to actually BUY (crazy girls, always look but never buy!) so i of course made a bee-line for apollo raamatupood (apollo bookstore) and we decided to look around there. now of course a book store had hours of interesting stuff in it. i marked the place in my memory as a place i would visit often. we found the english section and i almost fainted at the amount of good english book they had. and on the bottom shelf they had anime! now i know where to take anneli.


so i enjoyed the books until Liis bugged me to look around the rest of the mall. there wasn't much interesting (to me) but she was exciting to see they had both a "terra nova" and "vera moda" right accross from each other now of course that meant nothing to me. first she said "lets go to terra nova!!" and i'm like, whatever. and then shes like "lets go to vero moda!!" and i was like "we just did". i mean come on, whats the difference, the names even sound the same. so then we went and checked out "filmipood" (movie store) and saw they had some good movies cheap (i'll be back...). and then went to some junky jewelery store, which she of course loved. then i saw a store that actually interested me.


"universaal universuum" (universal universe), a store that was selling all sorts of indian/asian things. we went inside and of course she went up to where they where selling all the nasty, smelly things that girls love. i, on the other hand, checked out the drums, they where just like my chemba, only some bigger, and some smaller. but all way more expensive then the prices i could get in town. and then as i looked i saw something. in a basket at the end of the shelf, was a sword! i walked up to and slowly pulled it partway out of it's sheath. it was beautiful. this was a real sword, and it was old. it was the most amazing thing i had ever seen, it had a keen edge and a georgous hilt. i looked at it closer and saw small markings on the blade, some sort of writing, awesome! and i looked at the end of the hilt and saw something that both made my heart jump and fall in the same instant: a price tag. i looked and the price tag and saw something that made my pace quicken, the price was only 300 kroon! thats less than 30 dollars! give me 2 months and i could have that much! i took the sword and asked the lady who worked at the store where it came from, i was still in awe at the beauty of it. and she said that it had been imported from india or indonesia. awesome! so now i am official anounceing that i have fallen in love with a sword. if i can i will buy it and display it in my room. it's georgous. or probably by the time i get back to the store other idiot will have already have bought my precious. what ever. some things aren't meant to be i guess...


then after that we left and i came home and had a snack, but i still can't stop thinking of that sword!! now i'm done blogging and am expecting my parents home any minute. well anyway i'm gonna tell you a quick joke and then get off. please comment and tell me what you think of the joke. note: it's corny.

Why did the one handed man cross the road?

To get to the other side! No, wait. I mean, to get to the second hand shop! HAHA!!

Cya later!! ;-)
