Giving yourself a reading challenge with some rules around it is not an easy ( Read more... )

And this is the part where I stumble upon myself trying to make resolutions I know I won't stick to. It's still a little ridiculous, but I don't think that I'm setting myself up for failure this time around ( Read more... )

So recently my husband and I were at Best Buy and we saw in one of their "ooh shiny new release" carousels they had some anime. Being that Best Buy doesn't usually carry more than DBZ and Bleach we were curious and started looking at the fancy box art. One such item we picked up was this anime called Karneval ( Read more... )

This morning was the international premiere of the Sailor Moon reboot called Sailor Moon Crystal in celebration of the franchise's 20yr anniversary. The animation style has been updated, the seiyuu have been updated (however Mitsuishi Kotono remains playing Usagi - this represents a sense of familiarity and normalcy for me) and the setting has been ( Read more... )

The people of Sidney, NE have left a mark in my heart. They are some of the most kind and nicest people I've ever met. They went out of their way to make myself and my co-worker feel at home, like one of the family. In the business that we're in you don't always get that. It's so heartwarming.

Well, RGPs never really left but my interest in the has definitely been renewed. My husband has been pressuring me to finish FFXIII, rightfully so - he's trying to do me a favor by not spoiling the next two sequels on me. But, it does mean he's waiting on me to get my act together. Lately, I just haven't had the desire to really play anything more ( Read more... )

Many would like to think that the resolutions created in 2013 are a list of items we'd all like to achieve and get done before the New Year. That's totally left up to one's free time, determination and ambition ( Read more... )

The end of the year exhaustion is starting to set in. I'm on 6 projects at work, and for one of them I need to work on it in my spare time at home. Let's face it. You can't be allocated to that many things and just not let things fall. Everyone's priority becomes your priority. I'm alright, except for the this creeping overwhelming feeling of ( Read more... )
