   Life ish good
Well, it is. This morning, I took my sister to the Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament, to compete. She's been playing professionally since...let's see, Tuesday?

She was knocked out in the first match, of course, but I was so proud of her for actually winning a duel. ^__^ Against a guy with a huge deck full of holos. Nice.

And on the deck-building front, in ne morning, I traded enough to get all but one of the monsters she needs (We're missing one Solar flare Dragon.) Even I was impressed with how much progress we made.

(We're missing three Mystical Space Typhoons, a Pot of Greed, two Backfires, one Molten Destruction, one Emergency Provisions, and one Magic cylinder. All but Magic C are normal commons, so I thinkm i can scrounge them up.)

And, because good things happen to you when you help others, I myself aqquired a Dark Ruler Hades. ^__^

(Now, all I myself need is an End of Anubis, Call of the Haunted, and Heavy Storm.)

After the tourney, I took her to the mall, for...I dunno', malling? We stopped at express, where Julia works, and my sister met my cute Russian girlfriend. (As Stephanie knows, I have to mention her every few minutes. Don't ask.)

Then, we went to Best Buy, and I borrowed twenty bucks to get two CD's: Anthem, by Less Than Jake, and Catalyst, by New Found Glory. Schweet, no?

And, finally, a jaunt to the comic store (www.readmorecomics.com) for Ultimate Spider-Man #62. That book was wicked-cool, and not just 'cuz of the ending. (Note to Nikorasu: I think the ending's a fake-out, myself. She'll be fine.)

And...well, I'm going to watch cartoons as I celebrate my last weekend unemployed.

I'll be earning $6.50 an hour next week, but subtract 25% for savings, and 10% on top of that for tithing. That's...I'm too lazy to calculate it right now...

Mimmi: I want to place a remotely-hosted image into my introductory block at the top of the page, but I'm unable to do so. I'll check D's site, though. Thanks.

Thought of the moment: I have a cute russian girlfriend...how long was that?

Quote of the moment: "I know I lost, but I want to loose for the right reason!" -Me

Song of the moment:

Less Than Jake, "The Science of Selling Yourself Short"

I've come to my senses,
That I've become senseless,
I could give you lessons on how to ruin your friendships,
Every last conviction, I smoked them all away,
I drank my frustrations down the drain, out of the way,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self-esteems,

[Chorus:]
I'll sing along,
Yeah with every emergency,
Just sing along,
I'm the king of catastrophies,
I'm so far gone,
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me,
I'm my own worst enemy

I could be an expert on co-dependency,
I could write the best book on underage tragedy,
I've been spending my time at the local liquor store,
I've been sleeping nightly on my best friends kitchen floor,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
I'm so over-dosed on apathy and burnt out on sympathy.

[Chorus]

Let the meaning slip away
Lost my faith in another day,
Self deprication seems okay,
I never thought I'd make it anyway

[Chorus]

I'm my own worst enemy [x5]
