I honestly had no intentions of going on a vacation this year, with the exception of visiting Eric's parents in Florida which fell through anyway. Then somehow I ended up deciding to go back to Cancun in May, with my moms, to meet my cousin from El Salvador. My cousin apparently really wants to meet me (and I'd like to meet her too), but couldn't ( Read more... )

Last week mom and I went on our trip to Cancun. It was relatively short, compared to the past two years, but we still had fun. Unfortunately, we were rained in for the first couple of days. The storms came and went, but we got a lot done. I finally got to see the ruins o Chichen Itza. After we left the ruins, the bus stopped at this huge cenote ( Read more... )

Eric and I are proud owners of a new 37" HD Flatscreen JVC TV (heck alotta acronyms). We went halfsies and agreed that if we ever break up, if whomever wants the tv he/she must pay the other person the last half. That sounds confusing so basically if I want the TV, I have to pay Eric back his half. The TV was our official Christmas gift to each ( Read more... )

Last week was Christine's birthday. Like last year, we planned a trip to Vegas only this time it was to be for us youth without The Moms and my Dad. It ended up being Christine and her boyfriend JB, me and Eric, Ceci, my uncle Mo, Ish, Siobhan, Alex, and David. We took two cars out and stayed in adjoining rooms at the Imperial Palace. Mo had a ( Read more... )

I know I'm tired when 2 cups of coffee and my regular Starbucks don't do jack for keeping me awake at work. My tolerance for caffeine is growing considering how much coffee I drink, so that and the tedium of shelf reading at work makes for a sleepy me:

Personally 2010 started off really rocky, and the rest of the year fluctuated between really high highs and really low lows:

We put the tree up today! It's an old fake tree that my dad and I have reused for the last twenty years or so. This years is it's last, the poor thing so closely resembles the Charlie Brown tree.

I want all things Art Nouveau. I want this mirror and this photo album.

I just got stuck on this game for the last hour or so. The purpose is make your character run. Sounds easy enough. You're controls are the keys
Q and W for the thighs, and O and P for the calves. Try getting those muscles to work in unison via finger tips is not easy. Not to ( Read more... )

I've been slipping into a bad state mentally. Everything that's ever upset me in the last few years seems to have built a nest on my shoulders weighing me down. I reached a real low point this week, and burned a bridge I shouldn't have. Today I woke up for the first time with the acceptance of my depression and a genuine feeling of empowerment. I ( Read more... )

Ye be warned; thar be spoilers ahead. If you have a problem with spoilers read this article, I've read it through and it's not giving anything away.

As I mentioned previously Skyline sucked. So much so that it threw me into a psychotic rage until the time that I realized I had left my bag in the theater, more on that in a moment.
