Enough already!
I'm gonna be SO glad when this election is over & done with. ~_~ Please fast-forward me to Thursday so I no longer have to hear about Props. 8, 4, 2, McBama, whatever again! Just let me vote & not have to go through this again (at least until they hold a special election/recall in a couple months). ;-b | | Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008 | | 2:32 pm |
Lost Wages
Back from my 1st time at Anime Vegas; it was fun, but smaller than the big Californian anime cons. Unfortunately, most of my friends couldn't come out this year. It was mostly a lot of teenagers doing the usual cosplay thing. They also had "rent-a-maid" which is a bit questionable, but I guess what happens in Vegas stays there... ^^' I also took advantage of this opportunity to hit the Star Trek Experience for the last time as it will be shuttered forever. Ordered the infamous Warp Core Breach drink. ^_^ I normally don't drink such hard liquor & have been avoiding this one for years, but since this would be the last time, I decided what the hell. It was really strong as expected -- the room was spinning like a centrifuge, but I took it all & didn't even have to jettison anything. ;-) All in all, the trip was good, though the drive back to LA was exhausting. I guess all these long distance roadtrips are wearing me down. Too bad we can't just have Scotty beam us over, but real life hasn't caught up to sci-fi yet. ;-> | | Friday, August 22nd, 2008 | | 4:59 pm |
iPwned!
As my Verizon Wireless contract is almost up, I got a new phone. Jumped on the Apple bandwagon (again). ;-) New # is (909) 895-9471. The old one will still work for a couple months, & then that will be it. | | Monday, August 11th, 2008 | | 2:10 pm |
Olympix
Wow, I can't believe we won medals in women's saber, much less swept all 3. We usually suck at fencing. PS: Lightsaber fencing should be in the Olympics too! ;-D | | Thursday, July 31st, 2008 | | 1:13 pm |

Earthquake
Woo! We just had a quake! Felt really strong, as I was close to the epicenter, but they said it was just 5.8. No major damage or injuries, just some lamps & things knocked over. For a sec, I was wondering if the Big One finally hit us... ^_^' | | Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 | | 1:48 am |
Prisoner
Just got back from AX, thankfully nothing bad happened. Well, not to me anyway, dunno about other people. ^_^ Anyway, after years of procrastination, I finally finished my outfit from the old 60's show "The Prisoner."  Not very many folks still remember this show, but it was about a place called "the Village" in a hidden location where political prisoners were being held. Everybody there was abducted from their countries and brought here to be interrogated & brainwashed. They are stripped of their identities & assigned a number. They are also made to wear these ridiculous multi-colored capes (except the hero who refuses to conform) and happily go about doing pointless activities.    The black badge contrasts against the rest of the brightly-colored ensemble and is the only hint of something sinister in the background. It is emblazoned with the logo of the penny-farthing bicycle which symbolizes progress & technology, and how they can dehumanize us all if we're not careful. The show is available on DVD & highly recommended for watching. Be seeing you! ^_@ | | Thursday, July 3rd, 2008 | | 2:51 pm |
Anime Expletive
Heading off to AX now! Still have misgivings about the LA location, but nothing we can do about it. With luck my car won't get broken into again. ;-) It's gonna be a pain trying to get around with all the hotels so spread out. They say the area has be renovated so it's not so dodgey anymore, but I'll believe it when I see it. Guess all we can do is cross our fingers & hope nobody gets shot/mugged/raped/etc.! ^^' | | Saturday, May 3rd, 2008 | | 11:23 pm |
Iron Man
Just saw the Iron Man movie yesterday, as I used to read a little of the comic. It was much better than I thought, like T-formers + Robocop. ;-) At first I had reservations about the movie, as Tony Stark the main character was kinda boring. But I like the premise that he was just a normal person (or at least he was in the beginning, think he got some "upgrades" recently), that anybody, even you & me, could become a superhero with that suit. ^_^ In an aside, it's interesting that Leslie Bibb was in the film. She used to be in the TV show "Popular," and her character in that idolized & was constantly obsessing over Gwyneth Paltrow -- and now they got to work together! ;-> | | Tuesday, April 15th, 2008 | | 10:50 am |
Infernal Revenue Service
It's that time of year again: Happy Attacks Day! I hope you all filed on time and will get a nice refund. ;-) | | Thursday, April 10th, 2008 | | 11:56 am |
Power Sleep
Yesterday the electricity was out; I paid my power bill, Edison just shutdown my neighborhood for maintenance & upgrades. So no TV or computer, all I could do was catch up on sleep. But you know what? It was actually kinda beneficial & strangely liberating. ;-) I must've really needed the sleep and a break from news, LJ drama, etc. Maybe I'm not addicted to the gadgets as I didn't go apeshit from withdrawal. In fact, I could recommend this maybe 1 day a month. ^_^ | | Friday, January 18th, 2008 | | 10:15 am |
Knuckle Sandwich
 Anaheim Ducks vs. Dallas Stars. Despite getting a beating, the Ducks were still able to win 4-2. | | Sunday, October 28th, 2007 | | 8:48 am |
Russian vampires
Hmmm.. this is odd: Why is the Day Watch DVD slated for release in 2 days from now? I just bought it last week & am watching it now! @_@ Oh well, guess Bust Buy stocking made a mistake. Lucky I got to see it early. ;-D | | Thursday, October 11th, 2007 | | 12:27 pm |
Trophy wife
 Ducks goalie Giguere with the Stanley Cup. I knew something like this would happen. ^_^ Hope his wife doesn't mind. | | Wednesday, September 26th, 2007 | | 11:23 am |

Famine
The nice folks at FanimeCon finally sent me this year's program guide in the mail. While I appreciate the gesture, please tell me what good does it do to receive the program guide 3 months after the con ended? @_@ Oh well, better late than never, I guess! It can perform its 2ndary function as a souvenir of the con. ;-> | | Wednesday, August 1st, 2007 | | 1:58 pm |
More bad news from Tour de France
Good grief, is *everyone* there on steroids??? @_@ I can barely stand to watch the Olympix anymore because of this repeating nonsense. | | 1:54 pm |
SDCC
Back from San Diego Comic-con. Boy, I can't believe they sold out & I couldn't buy a badge. ;-( I've been going there for something like a decade now & this has never happened before. Maybe they instituted a secret attendance cap in response to fire marshall's complaints of overcrowding last year, but we haven't been told the number yet. So I wound up having to borrow a friend's badge to sneak in, everybody was calling me, "Steve" which was humiliating. Missed Battlestar Galactica & Resident Evil panels, but at least I got to watch Masque, that's something. Next year, I will most definitely have to pre-reg this time, grrrrr... ;-/ | | Friday, July 20th, 2007 | | 10:52 am |
HP memo
I never thought I'd get a Harry Potter memo at work; they reminded us not to deliver any copies before the 21st. | | Friday, July 6th, 2007 | | 10:55 pm |
DEBUG
I just debugged my house. No no, not my computer this time: *Literal* bugs -- as in, I called an exterminator. ;-) I have to spray the damn ants everytime the weather gets warm, & after all these years I finally got fed up & decided to cough up the dough to hire professionals. Every single summer here in SoCal is like a remake of the old movie "Them," and as Samuel L. Jackson might say, "I am tired of these motherF*ing ants in my motherF*ing house!" (I'm also tired of the motherf*ing poisonous snakes, though there was only 1, but that was still 1 too many) ^_^ So the house is fumigated, I had to seal my cat in my room to keep her from being poisoned, we'll soon see whether it did the trick or not. |
