(no subject)
I should post my requisite monthly post:
- Had an offer to room with a friend out in LA for nine months starting this fall. Had to turn it down. Too many albatrosses hanging around my neck. If I had the money saved where I could cover my bills for a year without a job as well as been able to get rid of my car and thus get rid of the loan on it, it would have been done in a heartbeat. As it stands, I'll have to remain here for a while and work.
- On the plus side one of the two employees who was responsible for the little "talk" I had with the boss was let go basically for not being a team player.
- Room looks great. Threw out some stuff that was literally either garbage or just not needed and honestly, I don't feel regret for it. In fact I have room in here to actually set up a board game and play a solitaire game if I wish. Or even have people *gasp* in my room comfortably?
- Spare room has been organized and also looks... adequate. Need more cowbell... I mean bookshelves. ZOMG I has lots of books.
- 4e D&D is going to rock. I believe I know what my own birthday present to myself is, since it's released a week before my birthday.
- Iron Man was da bomb! I hearted it.
- Shinkendo has been going very well. Next month we'll be doing the demo at the Arab International Festival again. I look forward to it this time. In the fall we're supposed to go to the seminar down in IL. Supposed to be a good time and we'll get a chance to meet Obata himself. Also looking forward to that. I'll get him to sign my Shinkendo book and my copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. (He plays Master Tatsu, the bad guy ninja trainer.) By then I should also be on my second rank and in-theory be ranked in Akido.
- I think that's all the news for now. Just saying, I do occasionally update this. Though not with anything poignant and pertinent these days.
