Winter Vakay!
Wah! So on the 19th, we were able to celebrate Alex's birthday on time. Even cut the cake before midnight. Miraculously, despite all of the snow NYC received, his flight was only delayed 1/2 an hour. The 20th was awesome, when I treated Alex to his birthday present and Nick to his X-Mas present by going to the Capitals vs. Flyers game in Philadephia. It's been ages since I've roadtripped, and it was awesome. Never been to a hockey game before, but it was insane--the fans of Philly were hardcore, the score was 7-1 Flyers, there were TWO hat tricks, and like 5 different flights. Afterwards, everyone crashed at my place and watched Youngblood to keep on the hockey high we all had. On Sunday the 21st we went to brunch at Virgils and then dinner at Rosa Mexicano for guacamole good times.
Somewhere in the mix my friend Paul came to visit for a few days and it was nice spending Christmas with him. Walked all around NYC and showed him around since he hadn't been there before. The Comedy Cellar was awesome on the 24th since it had only 1 show and it lasted over 3 hours since it had comedians jam packed in the line-up and some going beyond their allotted time. I got Tales of the Abyss for X-Mas from Paul, so I've been playing that. I also got Valkryia Chronicles from Alex, so yay for games. I'll be busy trying to beat the 3 or 4 games I am simultaneously playing. Wah!
And now I am here in Arkansas after flying in yesterday. In LGA I saw this young trendy woman with a suede poncho with fur lining at the bottom and a Louis Vutton bag going into the plane before me. I barfed a little inside. Don't get me wrong, I'm rather apathetic to the whole fur issue, but seeing a combination of fur, poncho, and LV made me a bit sick. I had some Cincinnati chili finally when I was waiting for my connecting flight in Cincinnati. It wasn't Skyline Chili, but I am hoping Gold Star Chili was an adequate substitute. It was different, but I prefered the chili that Alex made tonight for dinner. On the flight to Little Rock I sat next to some guy (20's I assume) who seriously needed a bath. Nevermind the odor, but he also had horrible bad breath. Just my luck that he also liked talking and mumbling to himself. When he pulled out his laptop and started watching anime, it made me groan inwardly for him perpetuating the stereotype of otakus. Ok, maybe he wasn't an otaku, but it reminded me of the kind of people who don't bother showering the entire time they go to a convention like Otakon, and it made me die a little inside.
Going to be enjoying time to relax. Been catching up with Gintama episodes. That's one anime and manga that never gets old or loses it charm. I got depressed because there were over 20 episodes that I hadn't watched and it kept on piling up. And I'll also be alternating between Persona 3 and Tales of the Abyss, so I've got my schedule planned out for the next few days in between going out with Alex :)
