Step 1: Get to Japania ( Read more... )

It's hard to believe that in two more days, we'll be en route to the four islands! Furthermore, the 24S5 finale tonight! :o

WOW

I never really register that something big's coming up and end up packing at the last minute

Charles and I went to see the latest action flick from the immortal Bruce Willis [guest starring Ford PrefectMos Def], after a quick stop by EBX to spend the ashuraou present toward the Neojank PS2 game :B That's a lot of money for a trading card! ¬_¬

Overall, it's a very basic action-escape flick, fairly reminiscent of The Fugitive, except with two ( Read more... )

Ah, loveliness. Charles and I will be Japaning it alone, now, as Schubert forgot, "Oh, I have a government job now, where it's NINE MONTHS IN ADVANCE NOTICE to leave the country." Holy fucking fuckaduck ( Read more... )

I have finished re-reading Excel Saga #1-13 [not all in one sitting, mind you], and things are a lot more cohesive now. I have also watched the first DVD, episodes #1-5, and they are... vaguely more cohesive.*

The deities of incessant minor pains really had it in for me today with my new shoes. The problem is I wear a size 6.5-7 in length, size 9.5-10 in width X/ and nobody seems to make a composite of the two. Granted, I may be looking in the wrong places, but the fact that "shoe stretchers" are available for stretching shoes *lengthwise* but not ( Read more... )

So it occured to me that, given the 33 hours to and 38 hours returning from Japan that the trip we're looking at taking is scheduling, I realized that I would need something to do for all that time. To hell with taking anything that I'm going to worry about getting lost or having stolen--which includes artwork... so I figured I'd take some of those ( Read more... )
