I have been pretty anti-social lately, because work has left me exhausted.  What I have been doing to relax is watch anime.  I got PS3 Media Server working on my computer, and have been watching a lot of shows the last few months, and I've been wanting to post something about that, so here you go!

I know I've been horribly out of touch this last month, and I have many things I could be reporting about.  Mainly I have been working long hours and not had much time or energy to stay in touch with anyone.

However, having just returned from what I believe was the last theatrical showing of the film in San ( Read more... )

First of all, happy birthday to calintz_san !!  I hope things are going well for you.

Jones has taken to urinating on things.  This morning, while I was out for my walk, he pissed on my dirty clothes on the floor of my closet, which includes the jeans I wore yesterday, which still had my wallet in it.  I've had that wallet for like 10 years, and I am throwing ( Read more... )

When I got home from work, in the mail was a greeting card from Mom.  The postmark was from May 18th in Santa Clarita, which is about a 30 minute drive from my Mom's house.  So it was written between the two previous conversations I had with her on the phone ( Read more... )

EDIT:

Oh.  Oh, wow.  I really have no words to explain this feeling I have right now.  Euphoria, maybe.  Because I have spent the last hour or so stewing over this, trying very hard not to destroy my office, lamenting how the only thing that matters is that I failed to stand up to her after saying all this stuff to myself about being a different ( Read more... )
