Leaping Out of February

This day only comes once every four years. Better make today's entry count!

Unintended Life Lessons

I know, I know - I said I was going to post something great today, but as you can see, that's not the case. I've been hanging out with friends and having fun enjoying life and what not.

While it seems as though I've been horrible with keeping my word, this actually can be seen as an important life lesson. Originally, I was going to beat myself over the head for missing my word and breaking my promise, but then I remembered a quote that struck home before in the past:

"A planned life is a dead life."
- Lauren Bacall

I have to say that while I might have made myself look like a blatant liar (as if I wasn't one already...), I've been able to enjoy myself and - more importantly - enjoy life.

That's the important part here, I'd say. *sage nod*

Sidetracking

Okay, I'm going to be honest - I didn't really have anything planned for today. I spent the day watching television shows from my childhood, organizing some of the many, many Legos I have (between the pieces/minifigs I use a whole lot versus the ones I can do away with in storage), and reading old paperwork I found in my storage unit. I got so sidetracked that I just barely noticed I'm almost late for a blog entry. How typical of me, huh?

Well, here's a few things to know in the meantime.

1. Good Great entry tomorrow. I promise. (See? I'm promising it this time.
2. I think I freed up some hard drive space on my laptop. Good thing - it needed it badly.
3. Cheese.

Until the 'morrow, everyone. I'm gonna go back to getting sidetracked. Hee.

A Personal Day

Lately I've found myself not willing to post anything of decent quality on here. That sucks - I enjoy writing on here, and I'm sure I'm slowly pissing off my fans.

But as it's the start of an awesome few days off, I think I needed some time to relax and recuperate. So as such, I've been watching some television shows and just playing with both my 3DS and some Legos.

Something will be here tomorrow. I'm sure of it. For now, though... I'm just gonna go ahead and play around. Hehehe.

Delays in Haiku

Procrastination:
a trial best defined as...
...I'll tell you later.

White Knight Live: J.J. Brewsky's

So I'm out getting some grub and drinks with some work friends, and it's going pretty swell.

*hic*

Welp, back to the fun. Until the 'morrow. *munches and drinks*

Killing Edits

With today being a day off for me, one would expect me to be relaxing my tail off and enjoying myself. I am, but I'm also working on editing some rules for Assassin. I finished modding a game between some of my friends at work, and with it comes some editing and tweaking. Some rules worked, and some didn't, so if I want the next game to flow smoothly, I need to make some edits.

*puts on spectacles* Time to start editing. *serious face*

Non Sequitur 8: Mess

Time to dive into the entry, don't 'cha think?

It's Wednesday for you, but it's Friday for me! Huzzah!

Fanboyism Eater

I'd post something here today, but my Metal Gear fanboyism has taken over due to me procuring Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D for my Nintendo 3DS.

/)(^3^)(\

SQUEE! *plays profusely before heading off to work*

Rushing Out

When you have little time and you need a proper showdown, remember the (in)famous quote from Highlander: "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!" *rushes to work*

Second First Bite

Today might be a Sunday, but it certainly feels like a Tuesday for me. Last week I ended up working from Saturday to Wednesday and had Thursday and Friday off. Yesterday, I worked, and when I looked at my schedule, I found myself to have the exact same Saturday-Wednesday block of work. It's somewhat draining, but hey - at least I'm getting some money to pay things off.

Enough on that, though - you're not here to listen to me talk about my life. (Actually, you are, but let's not get into that.)

"Commencing Virtuous Mission... now on Tuesday the 21st."

I recently tried out the demo for Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D on my 3DS. I have to admit that the controls took a little bit of time to familiarize myself with the controls. I played Snake Eater for the PS2, which used the traditional "top-down" camera format. Subsistence and Guns of the Patriots used a 3D camera, and while I was easily used to that, it was kind of difficult to use the ABXY buttons to control it. Precision sniping's really difficult with that method... (Well, thank goodness I decided to preorder the 3DS Circle Pad Pro.)

The game menus seem to flow a bit smoothly, too. The touchscreen is used to access the main things most people will end up using (Camouflage, Items and Weapons, etc.) without having to hit the start button sixty billion times and wade through the pause menu.

I'm quite excited for this game. As an avid Metal Gear fan, it excites me to have a game that I'm going to thoroughly enjoy from start to finish (again). (Oh, frak. I just realized that if I want my Stealth Camo, I need to hit those bloody Kerotan figures again. Oh, no...)



Well, I have work shortly, so I must get going. Until the 'morrow, everyone. Take care of yourselves, now!

Can't Talk

Can't talk - too much video games.

On another note: I told you good entries were going to show up this week. You saw yesterday's and Wednesday's, right?

Anyway, gotta go. Have monsters to slay and cards to make. Ciao-ciao.

Tales and Confessions

According to the title of this entry, it's going to be interesting, right? I mean, "Tales and Confessions" - it sounds like that there was originally one topic, but now we have twice the topics to talk about now! Let's go ahead and pile that stuff on!

And when you pile things onto a person, they double in size until they're so big, they're tomatoes.

It looks like the fun has been doubled! Huzzah!

Games and Games and Games

Games, games, games. That's what happens when you get a new game and you have a day off.

You'll hear about it tomorrow for sure. For now, though... *keeps playing*

Games Begin

Ready... set...

Passing "GO!"
+$200

...hey! I didn't say "GO" yet! Get back here!

Good Times Later

I have ideas for a couple of great blogs, but I don't have time until my days off.

Anyway, happy Singles Awareness Day, everybody!

Segue

I didn't feel like typing up anything today, so instead I decided to make a whole bunch of cards for 1000 Blank White Cards. What are they, you ask? Well, you'll see them in due time.

Anyway, tomorrow's Valentine's Singles' Awareness Day, and once again I'm finding myself working that day. I don't care, because let's face it - half of the retail workers working that day laugh inwardly at all the procrastinating fools who totally forgot to get their significant other something for that day.

I know I'll be doing that.

Well, I'm going to go back to making more and more cards. This game is just far too silly for me to simply stop making them. No, no - it requires me to keep playing FOREVER!

Sounds of Procrastination

Something will come up tomorrow. I'm sure of it. For now: work. Whoo.

Oh, and also: other things that I'm not sure of. And things that I'm sure of. And other things. And what not.

Spark Hunting

When it comes down to it, sometimes the things we have to do with our lives require a bit of motivation. What this motivation is will vary from person to person, but generally speaking, it's something that should ignite a spark inside a person.

Obviously, I don't have it - otherwise, this'd be a better entry. That, or it's because I'm still tired from the events of yesterday that extended well into today. (I didn't get enough sleep, and I couldn't force myself back to sleep no matter how much I tried.) So, I'm running on fumes, and as such, any sparks I encounter today just have to be rerouted to more important functions, such as "acting on autopilot" and "alertness."

Oh, and lunch. Maybe that needs a spark, too. =D

Eleven Plus Hours In

Today has been quite interesting. I've been up since 0700 (a first for me in a while, to be honest), got stuck in Los Angeles' infamously-craptastic traffic for almost an hour, sung a bunch of karaoke (some with some friends, some as a solo effort), and still possess plans for tonight that have yet to occur.

Interesting? Oh, I heavily think so.

Tonight... more fun awaits!

Sneaky Agent Entry

I need to stop having fun sometimes, because it gets in the way of posting on here. So, in lieu of a good post today, I'm just going to go off sneaking around in government facilities. With guns. And a tuxedo. And a magical watch that can freeze time. In Russia.



That's right. I'm playing GoldenEye 007. And like every person who played that game, I shot that guy's cap off every time. =D *karate chops y'all to tomorrow*

Okonomiyaki Time

Hungry? I sure hope so, because I got for you today a savory and steamy blog. It's guaranteed to leave you salivating - and at the very least, curious. So, sit back, relax, and if you're inspired to follow along after you're done reading, more power to you!

And before you ask: not that kind of steamy, you perverts!

Food Coma Sleepy Time

Foodstuffs are goooooooood. I'd talk about it, but alas... I'm full.

Maybe tomorrow. Or Thursday. I'll tell you about it later.

Aggressive Expansion

There are some days that begin to get utterly chaotic. Things begin to pile up and people begin to get frazzled nerves. Then just when everyone thinks it can't get worse, some mundane event occurs during that timeframe that just seems to irk and rattle what little sanity people have left. It gets to the point where someone gets wound up so tight that one slight bump and they just go berserk. Of course, everyone reacts differently when someone hits their berserk button - but for the most part, it's explosive and usually violent in some way.

Today could've been one of those days - I had to deal with a very fun and educational trip to the Department of Motor Vehicles. By "fun," I mean "rage-driven," and by "educational," I mean "The next time I'm going to wait in the damn DMV for an hour, I better make sure my 3DS is fully charged... or bring a book." Anyway, long story short: it sucked. Yay for the government wasting our lives and hard-earned money on trivial crap that shouldn't be worth how much the DMV charges us.

So I went to a friend's house afterwards for lunch, annoyed at how stupid the system was. We made sandwiches, and as I was eating, it seemed that the bread had been laced with acid. That, or I began to realize that my food was talking to me.

Before you start asking "Why the frak would someone spike a sandwich?" I'm going to say that there were no drugs present. There were also no chemicals or medical conditions involved with either the sandwich I was eating or with my friend's house. So how, you ask, did my food talk to me?

The answer is simple. It smiled at me. It smiled at me. It also said something while it did that:

"WHY SO SERIOUS!?"

Right then and there, I realized that today was going to be a decent day after all, despite how craptastic my oh-so-fabulous trip to the DMV was. So, I smiled a bit and went on my day as normal.

Hee. Ha. Hehe. Ha-ha. "And I thought my jokes were bad."

*clears throat* In all seriousness, though, I just happened to take a bite or two and put my sandwich down to talk with my friend. When I looked down to prep myself for another bite, I noticed this on my plate, and so I just had to take a picture to share with y'all. (Hey, at least I'm not going all Annoying Facebook Girl about it on Facebook. *le sigh*)

(Oh, and for those of you who were wondering what the hell kind of sammich that was: ham and pepperoni with a custom-made spread and dijon mustard.)

So, with the twist done, let's continue on with today's entry, shall we?

Super Dud

So most Americans today are plugging themselves out of reality today due to Super Bowl XLVI (for those of you who can't read Roman numerals, that's 46). Meanwhile, I'm going to be at work all night and miss the game.

To be honest, I don't mind at all. I never was one to enjoy sports (save for the occasional hockey game, the 2001 Major League Baseball season, and a good game of dodgeball), and as such, I could care less what happens tonight over at Indianapolis. I could care less for the Giants or the Patriots. I could also care less for watching the multi-million dollar commercials as well (they're just going to show up on YouTube by tomorrow, anyway).

I go in at 1500. Kickoff is apparently going to be at 1830 EST (which translates to 1530 PST), which means for the next two-point-five hours after that, the store will be empty. If anything, this means that it's going to be more than empty - it's going to be dead. Not "Wednesday night" dead or "zombie apocalypse" dead - more like "Wait, humans still exist!?" dead. The only guest interactions I'll get are from:

• other people who're apathetic about Super Bowl XLVI
• drunks
• foreign tourists
• people rushing in for last-second Super Bowl party supplies

So, I'm just going to be at work, enjoying the fact that I'm making some money instead of wasting time watching two East Coast teams most Californians could care less about duke it out on a field that also isn't in the East Coast.

Of course, I obviously don't speak for everyone here in California, so to those of you spending time to watch the Super Bowl: have fun with that.

Four Zero Zero

Give me a four. Give me a zero. Give me a second zero. What do we have?

THIS ENTRY! *throws confetti*

Build The Force

Nothing like a day off to rejuvenate the senses and spend doing nothing really cool in a manner that sounds cool nonetheless. In one hand, I have mysticism - in the other, creativity. Put them together and you create a great portion of my childhood.

In other words: Star Wars marathon and Lego hijinks. And yes; the original trilogy. Whee! I'll talk to y'all tomorrow. *goes back to the awesome*

Money, Dear Boy

So it's a Thursday, and for the first time in what seems like ages, I'm working on it.

No, no - don't get that confused with "I took a shift for somebody." Don't also get that confused with "I got called in and said 'yes' on my day off." I was scheduled to work. This seems weird for any of my work friends and anyone here who has my "schedule" memorized down to a "T," as I usually have the day off.

Ah, well. I needs the monies!

Almost Forgot This Day

Yeah. Between hanging out with friends and work, I almost forgot about making a post for today. That would have been a very bad way to start off February, now, wouldn't it?

Here's what I think: it would've been VERY bad, indeed.

Well, I must go off. Work's calling me yet again. Yaaaaay.
