wowie 8 comments. i guess i've lost 5 bucks then.
which is roughly $2.50 in english money, so no big loss there.



still, thanks to all who commented, especially Mitzy, who i havent heard from in a while ^^ and new friend Yensid who has somehow miraculously regained my blog-ethic. so i shall continue with stupidly long posts, random topics, anime reviews and comics until MyO withers away and dies in the ether of the net. thats right folks, you heard me. We shall NEVER surrender... lol


anyhoo, tomorrow is four things. first off, tomorrow is thursday. secondly, tomorrow is the day after's yesterday. thirdly, tomorrow is my grandads funeral. which, im sure, will be a very sad and morbid affair, in which im going to have to stand around with members of my extended family whom i normally would never even send a christmas card to. go figure. i hate family reunions, but i'll suffer this one for Grandads sake.


Lastly and leastly (or not), tomorrow is Thanksgiving in all U.S Territories and any Territory the U.S is currently trying to bomb. seriously though, remember to spare a thought to those valiently fighting overseas this Turkey Day.

anyhoo, like i said last post, we Brits dont celebrate Thanksgiving; like the Baseball World Series it is a thouroughly American invention. but still, over the past four years i've been doing this crazy little thing called MyO i've put up a list of things im thankful for. so here we go...

THINGS THAT I AM THANKFUL FOR
IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

1: Luna (my hard ridden yet currently underworked scooter)

2: Midori (my definitely overworked and probably under appreciated Laptop) and wi-fi internet! w00t!

3: Gundam! XD

4: my family, for supporting me in most of what i do. ^^;

5: a warm room, a roof over my head and food in the kitchen.

6: my limited managerie of offline friends here in england, especially Nic and Paddy, as little as i see them.

7: all my friends and memories from Camp Pecometh this year.

8: the great times i had in the rest of america this year.

9: Cotswalds, for giving me a job. XD

10: all my online friends, especially those who still visit. lol but seriously. if you're on my friends list, im grateful and thankful for any input you've had over the last four years. and if you still comment, i look forward to spending the rest of my days here on MyO with you.

11: Mega ultra special shout-out to my TN friends who put up with me yet ANOTHER year. especially to the Craft family who put me up on such short notice. ^^; i love you guys like a second family!

12: supah special shout out to onee-sama Sailor Firestar in japan and for her continued correspondance. ^^

13: another supah special shout-out to Raina for...well... you know. ^^

14: God and Life in all their splendour. and for creating me. w00t. cheers God.

15: the continued success of Chibi Darke Days three years on from its original conception.

16: Butterflies. yup. when will the world realise that butterflies are the answer?!




so yah. thats my list for this year. pretty much the same as my list last year. but still, its good to be thankful for stuff.


i went to my brothers concert in Sunday. it was ok, the music was a good choice, and this one girl who sang was superb, but i dont really like my little brother's band that much. its a woodwind band, so its made up of saxophones, clarinets and flutes, with a keyboard, bass guitar and drums backing up. which is fine and all, but they play these popular songs from movies and theatre and they sound so weak and breathy. there's no power where there ought to be. of course this could easily be remedied with the addition of a brass section, but its a woodwind band. so...yah...

anyhoo, i got to thinking, like i do, about Blind people. i bet a blind person would have really enjoyed the concert. but i wondered what would life be like if i was suddenly struck down with blindness. i think it would truly suck. my entire life revolves around my eyesite. i wouldnt be able to watch anime anymore, i wouldn't be able to read manga anymore, my art would suffer majorly (and its not exactly brilliant now lol) my internet usage would be pointless without someone to proofread my stuff and read comments and the like, my gundam models would be a lot harder to make, ^^;, i wouldnt be able to drive anymore, i wouldn't be able to ride Luna anymore, my kung fu and snorkelling would be seriously effected. i'd have to learn braile, and how to touchtype. and forget about having a job that i would enjoy without having to totally retrain. you would have to turn your entire life around, push the big ole reset button if you were struck with blindness. i sincerely hope it never happens to me. or anyone for that matter. look after your eyes people!


sorry. just going off on a random tangent there. of course, if i did go blind, i'd probably get a guide-dog. that would be cool. ^^ a small silver lining.


anyways, enough ramblings for one day. here's the next two parts of my CDD super size swap saga:



What can i say? Luna requires some pretty hardcore hardware! but you would have thought that a shop that stocks:
Tachikoma AI
Nadesico's ship computer
Wing Zero'sZERO System
ADA
AND a
G.U.N.D.A.M OS

should be able to whip up that sort of hardware pretty easily!





what can i say? how would YOU feel if you had been naked for several millenia?


hopefully i can finish these before the 27th November, which will be CDD's third anniversary! w00t!


welp, until next time.
