Anime Expo Countdown!

A little more than twenty-six hours before the gang and I set out for Anime Expo this year. I’ve got the car rental to pick up at noon, the hotel reservation is booked, which I’ll confirm tomorrow, and all I need now is to pack my bag and get all my shit together. For some …

AD&D Third Edition and the Age-Old Argument of Spending your last few Bucks on Food.. or Anime.

Beyond the obviousness of yesterday’s significance, I did take the last free day of my week to run some errands and drive around. With the notable exception of a few outings, I had not really gone on a random drive around the local area looking for something to do. I had experienced this sudden desire …

Day One: I Left my Heart on Super Smash Brothers Melee

I work twelve hour shifts, three days a week; those three days being Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I start at nine in the morning and get relieved at nine at night. So, Sunday night before we left on Monday morning, I got home and did whatever laundry I could prior to leaving. I did not …

The Day of Errands

This morning I got awoken by a nightmare involving Todd, Jody, and my soon-to-be ex-wife Stephanie. I don’t recall the gist of the dream, but I do know that I woke up very nearly screaming. In short, I was relieved it was a dream, but I’m wondering if it was premonitory, as Jody is staying …

I Need a Hit of Pepsi or else People will Die…

Quick first post of the day, with a message to my buddy : Happy Birthday! It’s my last day of working the day shift this weekend, which actually seems like the better deal when I think about it. Granted, I was a little shocked by the news of having to work early Friday morning, but …

Shin-Kimagure Orange Road: Soshite, Ano Natsu no Hajimari

ADV translated the title of this film to “New Kimagure Orange Road: Summer’s Beginning.” That’s close enough, I guess. It’s an amazing film that I got reacquainted with at Anime Expo, and ended up buying for my collection. Yes, I cried during that one scene where Kyousuke from 1991 rescues Kyousuke from 1994 while Madoka …

The Carnage of Anime Expo 2002 and eBay buying PayPal

I’ll express my concern over the latter, first. Holy fucking shit! I go away for a week on vacation and I come back to read that the company that my ex-wife works for is buying my company. Never mind we happen to work in the same damn department or anything. I’m actually trying to figure …

Countdown to Anime Expo 2002: T-Minus 10 Days

At my birthday dinner, I was able to talk to three of the four people going with me. This is Dave, Mark, and Jody. Todd was working that night, so I had to speak to him at a later date and time. But in preparation of getting there, we have to coordinate our efforts. For …

New Year’s Resolutions

Unlike others, I tend to think of my birthday as the most appropriate time to set my resolutions for the coming year. I mean, this is the beginning of a true new year for me. New Year’s is a little too cut and dry, and to be honest, I’m just not as introspective on New …
