For months now, I've been dodging my mother's asking for Christmas gift ideas. Mostly because I couldn't think of anything that I didn't already have or that she would be able to get me. (I can think of a number of things online I could ask her for, but she's the old fashioned type that refuses to do any shopping online for things. So anything that ( Read more... )

I don't know what the hell is wrong with my computer or if there's something malfunctioning somewhere, but I still can't use MSN messenger and it's seriously pissing me off now. I've contacted the tech people at MSN to get them to help me figure out what the hell is wrong with it and why it keeps giving me errors when I try to sign in, even if I ( Read more... )

Today while I was at the store, I ended up going down the ethnic foods aisle, looking for tempura sauce and somen noodles among their very limited Japanese cuisine. While heading towards the Oriental portion of the aisle, I passed the Mexican/Caribbean foods area. I ended up stopping dead in my tracks when something on the shelves caught my eye:

Being the lover of anime and manga that I am, I often see characters in various series eating different types of food, which then makes me wanna try them.

BTW, anyone who's enjoys a good action anime series and hasn't seen it before, please watch Twelve Kingdoms. One of the best damn epic series I've come across. To the ( Read more... )

After the last couple of holidays, it has come to my attention that I have a habit of very much getting into the spirit of the holiday. I dressed up and decked myself in holiday-related apparel everytime a new one rolled around. (Except Thanksgiving, because it's ridiculously hard to find Thanksgiving related clothes and accessories, for some ( Read more... )

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans on my flist. Hopefully all of you had a much more festive holiday than me, since besides eating dinner, I spent the majority of the day either working for extra pay and preparing for tomorrow at work, or sleeping (since I had to go into work at 5:30am, and I'm usually known for going to *sleep* at that time ( Read more... )

For the curious and forgetful, my birthday is January 13th. It's still a ways off, but considering that I'm wanting to invite a number of work friends (and we always seem to have conflicting schedules for time off), I can't prepare quickly enough. I've decided I'll put up a sign in the break room to let all the folks at work know about it, because ( Read more... )
