   Random ramblings
I have been meaning to do a post, but I haven't been able to really coalesce my thoughts into a coherent post. I decided to finally just start typing & post what comes out.

This past weekend, I went to a wedding that many of my old friends attended. That was definitely weird. I have not seen any of those people in the past 4 years (since the last wedding we attended). Several of them have children now. It is definitely strange when people you knew when they were in high school are now responsible parents. I’m already plotting how to embarrass them in front of their children when the kids get older.

This led me to join Facebook. A number of them were active on that site, so I decided to join. It is definitely a different experience when it is with people I know in real life. It makes it even stranger since I have not had regular contact with any of these people in the past 8 years. I would assume it would be like going to elementary school with a group of people then going to different middle and high schools then meeting again in University. You feel you should know these people because you spent a lot of time with them in the past, but a lot of time has passed since then, so – do you still know them? Are these people that you would want to know if you were just meeting them now? Kind of weird, but I am not spending that much time there, so I will just play it by ear. If it is anything like the other web sites I have joined, participation will drop significantly once the initial rush is over.

Last week, I went to a special showing of the live action Death Note II – the last name. That ending was soooo much better than the anime. I am still buying the anime DVDs – I’m not sure why. It is somewhat of a compulsion – I have the first 6 volumes, so I must get the last 3 (along with the figures – can’t forget those). They actually did the English language voice-overs for the anime in… Canada!!! I guess there are 3 places for anime voice-overs – Los Angeles, Texas and Vancouver.

Halloween is coming up & I have decided to dress up this year. I was invited to a party on Saturday, but I doubt I will attend. It is about a 2 hour drive & the parking there sucks. If nothing else, I will wear it while handing out candy on Halloween night. I have all of the costume components, but haven’t tried them on yet. I chose… Dr. Horrible. If you enjoy Joss Whedon’s work (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly), you should check out Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog at DrHorrible.com

I guess that is all for now. I’m sure there will be more randomness to follow – just not sure when.

Take care.
