Well, it has obviously been an extremely long time since I've used this. But now that Naka-Kon (that one thing a long time ago) is over, I'm back from ACen, and school is out, I finally have some time to do this. Lets start it off with a quiz/survey/thing I fill out and you read. ( Click )

Initially I was shocked and angered about the Naruto license, but after a full night's rest I'm collected. Let me list the complete contempt I have for Viz ( Read more... )

I took the $50 I won from Super Bowl gambling to buy Taiko Drum Master. Tammy and I broke it in after making cookies. The cookies were fine when baked, but the batter was awful. I guess it's one or the other when it comes to cookies, even though I know it's not. The game was pretty great. It isn't as challenging as DDR as Tammy and I could ( Read more... )

I really don't care to watch the Super Bowl anymore (not even for the commercials), except when gambling is involved. Since the score was 14-14 at the half, I got $50 in this pool that my dad's friends do. I think I'm going to buy Taiko Drum Master with the money. Tammy will have to help me try it out on Tuesday night when we are making cookies.

Kristina and I decided to have a party on Saturday and I spent all Sunday recovering. We left up the Christmas tree and made it into a holiday tree and said that we should have a party each time we changed the decorations. We now have Valentine's day decorations, but I don't think that theme was carried in the party. Oh well. We forgot to make ( Read more... )

When I was working Friday night, a guy (late 20ish) came up to my drive-thru window lane on foot. This is one of the few things that I can't stand, plus the fact that he came 10 minutes before we closed made him the most hated customer of the night. He was smiling a little too much for my liking and was speaking really familiarly to me. Here's ( Read more... )

School has officially started and it looks like I have a light load. The only classes I have are Japanese 4, Japanese pedagogy, and some East Asian course about entrepreneurship. They look to be fairly simple, which means that I'll have a lot of free time on my hands, but that hasn't been the case so far. Somehow I end up wasting time and I have ( Read more... )

I've finally got my computer working with internet and Windows XP; both of which took a long time to do, but are worth it. Mad props to Tammy for the CD. I'll list my events of the week now ( Read more... )

My last day at my job for the break was yesterday and I'm planning on going back to Lawrence either tonight or tomorrow. It all depends how long I will be at the casinos today. Then again, I may not come back at all. If I win $1000, I've decided I'm leaving for Japan tonight. I'll be sure to post here before I do, though. The post will read " ( Read more... )

During all of Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, a wintry mix of ice rain descended on Kansas City and its neighboring towns. The local schools were closed because road conditions were too terrible. Since my mother works for the school, my father pours concrete (not a good idea in this weather), and my sister and her fiance are jobless ( Read more... )
