Hoo boy. Home from Montreal (for over a day now) and boy was that an adventure. First time I've ever gone international by myself, and while I would definitely say I enjoyed it I don't really feel inclined to do it again any time soon. I liked Montreal though, even if it was a little uncomfortably French for me. I have work in the morning, though, ( Read more... )

Calmed down, booked vacation.
I will be in Montreal from Thursday, March 10th to Sunday, March 13th.

Life continues much the same as it ever has. Bad weather and cold has hurt our attendance at the museum, but things have been picking up in the last week or so as we gear up for Kid's Week, which starts this Saturday. It's supposed to be our busiest week of the year after Fleet Week, and so I've been given an extra day of work. Ordinarily that'd be ( Read more... )

So PAX East registration opened today. I really wanted to go this year, but lack of a job kept me from it. As such, I'd like to get everything for next year hammered out as far in advance as possible. Badges will probably sell out quickly (three months or so last year, but I expect them to go quicker this time), but I'd like to find a few other ( Read more... )

Fuck it. I got so tired of screaming in rage at Reach that I've listed it on eBay. Fuck Halo, and fuck Bungie.

So obviously I got the Otakon thing pretty much sorted. A friend of a friend whom I met last year happened to be going, and he had a room at the Sheraton (that was already paid for since he booked it through one of those discount sites) so I canceled my room and bunked with him. It ended up just being the two of us since the other person he thought ( Read more... )

Life has been pretty much the same day in and day out the last few weeks. I've managed to find all of the transformers I've been looking for with the exception of Generations Thrust. I think his wavemate Drift is one of my favorite TFs thus far- he's got a decent transformation and an unexpectedly and particularly satisfying robot mode. I've been ( Read more... )

Those of you that know me well have probably heard me say things like this before, but some of the quirks of the human mind amaze me when I stop and think about them. One of these is the ability to reduce even the most amazing or unusual thing to something barely worth noticing if it happens enough. Like my job to me is just a job, but I work at a ( Read more... )

I was going to post an entry about all the things that went wrong with my weekend but then I realized that all of you have your own problems and some of them are almost certainly worse than mine. So keep on truckin' everybody, and may you have better luck than I.

I guess it's been a couple months since the last time I posted. Nothing of note has happened. My days are all pretty much the same- get up, look for work, occasionally buy a toy or two, etc. I'm applying for like ten jobs a week and I never hear from any of them. My dad is on my case now to start filing with temp agencies, but I really don't want ( Read more... )
