Weekend
Hopefully this week is better than last week, work-wise.
This weekend has felt a little productive because I did some cleaning. dwchang will also be happy to know that I'm now half-way through Ch15 in Valkyria.
Oh and did you know the person who's singing the opening song for the Valkyria anime is a Canadian otaku who won last year's Anison contest? ( Read more... ) -

It's been awhile
Yes I'm still alive. Work has been kicking my butt lately - I've been working around 11-12 hours a day for the last few weeks and now I'm getting a cold. :( Mostly my days have consisted of get up, get dressed, eat breakfast, go to work, eat lunch, go home, cook dinner, relax for an hour or 2, get ready for bed, and then go asleep ( Read more... ) -

Wes's arm
I've been so busy this week, that I didn't get a chance to mention it earlier, but Wes took skiing lessons this Saturday.

Valkyria Chronicles
Since we didn't make it anywhere interesting for Christmas due to icky weather, I rented a video game instead. Namely, Valkyria Chronicles, a PS3 RPG that got glowing reviews from game websites, but hasn't done too well sales-wise so far ( Read more... ) -
Quickly Shifting Christmas Plans
We've gone from flying to Florida to visit family for Christmas to driving to Vancouver, CA for a 3-4 day vacation and then visiting meruru4 and d0sboots for Christmas to just driving up to Seattle to visit meruru4 and d0sboots for Christmas. Now I'm wondering if we'll even make it up to Seattle for Christmas at all since we've gotten about a foot of snow/freezing rain in the ( Read more... ) -
One Piece
Because of wusan awhile back I started reading One Piece. The basic premise is you have a world with a ring of land (called red line) going north/south across the globe. At the equator you have a strange strip of ocean called "Grand Line" going east/west, which divides the ocean into 4 segments - East Blue, West Blue, North Blue, and South Blue. To ( Read more... )
