Shooting Star!
While driving home on the 57 North sometime after 11:00PM, I saw a shooting star. I didn't realize it was one until it had passed. Memorable because it's the first shooting star I can remember seeing. Current Mood: coldCurrent Music: Muse - Starlight |

Yorkie puppies are love. Also today (actually, yesterday by now) I put together a purple sweater and skirt outfit. Both in my favorite shade of purple. I love the hell out of it. I've never looked so good in purple before, which always made me sad considering that purple is my favorite color. I even wore matching purple undergarments. Finally got Diane to watch Hot Fuzz, and it turned into a highly enjoyable evening despite the multiple adventures in parking we had to go on. Josh and Anthony joined us later in the evening, and it was nice to see them again. I'm also happy to note that it seems as if gas will remain under $2.00 for a while yet. If this keeps up after winter break is over I might start driving to Fullerton to participate in morning wushu/aikido classes again as a walk-in. Meanwhile, I'm completely enamored with the song "Sometime Around Midnight" by The Airborne Toxic Event. Current Mood: chipper |

How does Togashi do it?
How does Togashi (of Hunter x Hunter fame) do it? I don't really know how things work at Jump, but /how many year long hiatus can you go on before they just fire you/? This is to say nothing of the story quality, which has steadily deteriorated long before the first hiatus. This shit used to be compelling. Now I don't even care if another issue never comes out. ... now that I think about it, it's a lot like how I feel about Bleach and D. Grayman, except they're still /less/ ridiculous concerning their hiatuses (D. Grayman only went on one, anyway). Current Mood: apathetic |

Because I'm petty
Tonight, Harrison pronounced "Omega" as O-MI-GA. He tried to blame it on Daniel Craig, but I vowed to remember this and mock him forever for it anyway. Because I'm very petty. And also because he needs to cut me some slack when he thinks I'm not pronouncing things right. Also, tonight marks the second time I ever entered a theater and there was only one other person/couple there but me and whoever's with me. It would be the /second/ time that I was in a theater and /nobody else/ was there, but this guy walked in. We had to lower our voices for that one guy. I was very disappointed.

'Tis The Season For Activism!
More Child's Play Charity Plug - THE DESERT BUS EDITION http://desertbus.org/Desert Bus is probably a level of hell, except you play it for eternity and no one donates money to children's hospitals for it. Seriously, just check out what the /game is about/. It's awful. But as a marathon fund-raising game it suddenly becomes legendary. The Desert Bus crew will take your comments and questions and suggestion to do stupid things for donation money, check out their live cam and chat! Current Mood: cheerful |

So, about last night...
I have no idea how many people I groped. I only distinctly remember two three instances, and I'm unsure about the recipient of the second instance. I also did an aikido roll on my head. Which was the wrong way to do it. In other news, that was the best state of drunk I've been in. Current Mood: cheerful |

Random conversation!
[19:59] BoC Sparrowhawk: The voices in my head are telling me to hurt people. [20:00] Raz BerryL: In what capacity? [20:00] BoC Sparrowhawk: I'm at work :P [20:00] Raz BerryL: So, basically to murder them. [20:00] BoC Sparrowhawk: Yes [21:32] Raz BerryL: AFFECTION FROM BELOW! [21:32] MageDragonfire: Are you a mole now? [21:32] Raz BerryL: No. Just an American. [21:33] MageDragonfire: Short? [21:33] Raz BerryL: Maybe. But primarily because we live south of Canada. [21:33] MageDragonfire: Of course. Current Mood: silly |

Please Feed My Pet Charity
So, some of you guys probably know I'm an avid reader of the webcomic Penny Arcade. In fact, among my RL friends, my super power is to randomly bring up a Penny Arcade strip relevant to the topic at hand by saying: "That reminds me of a Penny Arcade strip..." Anyways, Penny Arcade is a webcomic that primarily caters to gamers. And in 2003 its creators, Mike "Gabe" Krahulik and Jerry "Tycho" Holkins, got sick of the media scapegoating videogames as the primary culprit responsible for school shootings and youth violence in general, and decided to do something to show the world that gamers are good people. They started Child's Play, a charity through which geeks and gamers can buy toys, crafts, story books, DVDs, and videogames for children who are in long-term hospital care. This is now a service they provide together with Amazon.com, who puts up wishlists of participating hospitals from which you can make your purchase directly. TL;DR? Go to http://www.childsplaycharity.org/ and buy some $2.00 crayons for some sick kids so they can doodle instead of thinking about their upcoming surgery. Because it's a nice thing to do.

Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One
So I finally went ahead and bought the first Penny Arcade game. That's right, I /bought/ it. With /real/ money. And I love it, I'm having a lot of fun with it. But apparently the final boss fight has a bug that causes the whole game to seize up for no apparent reason. "This is kind of pissing me off," I said to myself, using a funny English accent in a thinly disguised attempt to contain my rage. Apparently it's a bug that most people experience when they summon the supporting characters, but it's always when I'm using items, for me. I don't know what the fuck it wants from me, items are what the boss is weak to. That sonnuvhismom. Current Mood: aggravated |

California Wildfires!
So, it looks like the Santa Ana wind will die down enough at this particular level of elevation and my shop isn't going to be destroyed. I'm kind of disappointed. God I hate work. Current Mood: silly |

Is it just me...
Or is it very hard to stay friends with someone who continually brushes off all your attempts at a simple greeting or conversation? Honestly, I've had it up to here with a particular individual I call friend. I understand that people have busy lives, but if you can't even make the effort to acknowledge my existence with a simple 'hello', I don't know why I should even bother. Clearly you don't think very much of what little contact we have. Rest assured I'm not talking about you if you haven't been continually ignoring my 'hello's and 'just a quick question's over the past couple years. In fact, I don't think the individual in question reads this, so no worries for you either way. Current Mood: aggravated |

A story, suddenly remembered.
When I was around 7 or 8 years old, my sister had a boyfriend who lived in a (relatively) nearby mountain district. My family would drive up to visit every so often. This boyfriend's family had a big yellow dog. He was a stray that they'd adopted. He was friendly and playful as big yellow dogs tend to be. Being a dog-crazy child, I loved that dog to death. I'd play with him for as long as I was allowed to. This dog had to be locked up every time guests were about to leave the house by car. Given half the chance, the dog will dart into the foot-well of the front passenger seat, and will not budge if he has any say at all in the matter. He wasn't a puppy when this family adopted him, nor was he feral. He had a family down the mountain, that drove him up the mountain in a car. They then abandoned him there to keep him from finding his way back home. Apparently this sort of thing happened all the time. The dog has been well cared for by this family for years. He still wants to go home. But he can never go home. Current Mood: melancholy |

We never learn.
Today's yet another page in California's history of discrimination. I thought we might have changed. Seriously, if I ever get into California government, I want to reform the hell out of voter's initiatives. Not only is it choking the pancakes out of California budgets, a fact acknowledged by everyone who cares to /use their brain and think the process through/, it relies on the gullible masses to make governing decisions for them. We might as well overturn Brown v. Board of Education and reinstate Plessy v. Ferguson. Put /that/ to a vote in every state. Will of the people must be obeyed, right? No activist judge is going to take away my right to discriminate! I'm sick of mob rule. Current Mood: disappointed |
