It never fails. I'm like Frodo Baggins, minus the shortness, the hairy feet, and the overall funny look that most hobbits have. New Years day arrives, and I get sick (like Frodo who gets sick on injury anniversaries). Usually, it's not too bad (most of the time, it's a headache, and just fatigue), but this year, it had the works. Sore throat, runny nose, aches and just all around suckiness. Bright side of things. I can breathe again. Kind of. It's taken a week for my nose to clear up to the point where I can actually use it again. Been a real pain in the ass. But oh well.
Tempted to stab the post office on both sides of the border. My parents sent their package on the 20th of December (by express post, so Aya would be able to get a birthday + Christmas present before the respective days). Tracking says that it gets Stateside around the 23rd. After that, no one has any idea where it is. So, been calling around, checking to see if there's anything that can be done, but apparently, it'll have to be handled by the sender. *sits and twiddles thumbs*
Really getting back into the Initial D groove lately. Mmm. It's more than just cars and racing! It's about one's inner drive, and crafty adults who manipulate things! And boys (as well as girls) getting overly competitive. Technical items here and there spice things up. Love the show. Maybe not so much the animation style (second season is nice and colorful, but some of the characters look weird). I wish I could kick Tokyopop's ass and make them release 4-5 eps a DVD. Three a dvd sucks, even if it is priced at 15 bucks.
But yeah. Besides picking up the third Initial D DVD and the fourth Super GALs DVD (pats Meesha repeatedly and nibbles), I've also been looking around for eps of second stage (second season of Initial D, which is 13 eps long. Then there's extra stage, which follows the girl drivers for 50 minutes...meh...and Third Stage, which is an OVA, about Takumi finally realizing a few things). So far, working on ep 3. Only 5 more hours to go! Better start burning some of these so I don't clutter up the laptop.
After slacking off for a full month, I figured it's high time I kicked it back into gear. Last night was the first time in a long time where I tackled four bots at once. Needless to say, it wasn't all that great. Mind you, there's also the book 5 factor. Need to work on those. Immensely. But at least my right hand is behaving again.
Hmm. There was something else...but it appears to have completely slipped my mind...ah well.
Ah yes! I had a dream. It was a LotR dream. But modern day. And the characters were like, Missa, me and some other people I didn't know. Missa started reading the whole opening scene, like the first movie. And then this girl (no idea, some lady with dark hair...couldn't see her face) played the violin for all the music that was in the movie. I think I ended having to play three of the characters (Aragorn, Gandalf and Legolas) while this other guy played the hobbits and Gimli. No idea what happened to Boromir. Missa kept narrating the story, and her hair kept changing color everytime I looked at her. Needless to say, it was quite weird. We charged through malls and streets. We even stormed a couple of stores (not the GAP of Rohan....though I was sure my mind would twist it into that) and chopped down what were supposedly "orcs" (they looked more like customers, but brandishing weapons and such). Somehow, when Boromir (edit - I REMEMBER NOW! Some guy came outta nowhere and tried to take it from the other guy - end edit) tried to take the ring, we ended up at the end of the series. Aya took the one ring and tossed it into a Burger King deep fryer, and we all went home and had pizza, discussing all the adventures we had.
Remind me never to have mushroom pizza and a piece of chicken before I go to bed next time ^_^
Oh right. New year already. Most people would make a resolution or summat, but I'd just like to thank everyone reading for being part of my life. Whether your part in it be big or small. Of course, bigger thanks go out to people like...oh, say Missa, for marrying a nut like myself, and putting up with his weirdness, and apparently, his snoring powers :p (loves Missa who snores too). The afterhours gang (Rehta, Sis-type lady, Terra-chan, Yankee, Moilie, Sel-e baby and that old guy that sits around...:p), for just being an amusing bunch, and providing many entertaining moments through out the year. You guys are awesome. <3 you all. But yeah. Whether my experience with you be good or bad, in a way, I thank you, for you have made me who I am today. And since I have no regrets on being me, I would say your effort, whether with detrimental intent or not, has been important in that process. Whether you like it or not. Whether I like or dislike you. Doesn't matter. Efforts and variables from all sides get a nod, in one way or another.
And with that, I leave you with the prime proof that Seven is always pretty...
Derek: *glares at Seven* just... *groans and rolls eyes*
Seven: Did you just have an orgasm from looking at me?
