I first noticed the Soreness yesterday morning upon waking.  It had settled upon me firmly over the night.  The Soreness was likely borne by the Exercise, a [very] rare, but profound event, impacting my life in ways impossible to predict.  The Soreness is now reaching the end of its second day.  The first day saw difficulty typing, dressing, ( Read more... )

Due to certain persons taking advantage of the recent economic upset, the timing for me to move out of my place has been set to within this month (possibly early next month).  I've just finished visiting one place and am visiting another tomorrow ( Read more... )

Mayoi Neko Overrun was surprisingly watchable, which I attribute to the present female lead acting and sounding like Amu.

My dream from this morning involved the trials of moving to a new place with new people.  It also had me forced into a talent contest based on my participation in one months ago.  And the prompt was so interesting, yet I wasn't ( Read more... )

Stuff happened at work.  I came up with a makeshift solution which could potentially save the company hundreds of dollars a year (:P) and increase our on-time completion rate.  Yay.  I was originally hired for a three month temp position.  It's now been 2.5 months.  A couple weeks ago (around the 2.0 mark) my boss mentioned to me in passing my "end ( Read more... )

For the second time this week, my alarm clock failed to go off.  Fortunately I woke up early enough to be merely late.  It was particularly aggravating since I'd planned to come in early today to finish up a project before the weekend.  And since everyone leaves relatively early on Friday, I couldn't even stay late unless I wished to be locked in ( Read more... )

I'd been wondering if there were any more reasons for all the sequels recently besides lack of original ideas, when I read a post in 見ないで! ひとり言 which covered some of the issues facing current movie makers.  It makes sense that with so much coming out so frequently, the cost of promoting shows has skyrocketed and word-of-mouth has gotten diluted, ( Read more... )

This week so far has been like a one-two slap in the face.  But whatever. If I can't deny it, I can repress it; and if I can't repress it, I can drown it in anime and manga until it's so far behind me it won't matter anymore.

In other "news", I recently changed my wallpaper from the venerable Alice:

I just finished reading John Scalzi's The Last Colony, which is far more upbeat and optimistic than the title would suggest.  Actually, this was inspired by how his Zoe's Tale was recently released in mass market paperback format.  I read it, then went back to the beginning of the series and read the first 3 books.  I like the books, but I always ( Read more... )
