   Stuck To My Katamari: Leftovers!

Current Mood: Heavy


Yeah, yeah...I know. Lack of updates. But things have been busy. Honest! Here is a quick run down since my last update.

- New York was fun. We had a great time visiting Lake George. All of John's co-workers at The Electric Sheep Company totally rock. They got lots of work done and I got to hang out with "the flock". All I can say is I have never seen so many laptops in the same house at the same time.

- Final Fantasy 12 rules my life. John and I came home from NY on Oct. 30th. After a long day of traveling we got home just in time to hit the midnight release of the game at our local Game Stop. So needless to say I've been playing that game quite a bit since getting home from our trip.

- Screeners. I've just posted two new screeners on the front page of the site. One is for Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki - Target Tenchi and the other is for Kodocha - Fixing Friends. If you get a chance please check them out. I've got over a dozen disks to review so be expecting to read a few more reviews over the holidays.

- I've been doing some odds and ends for The Anime Tour for The Cure getting guests and such. In case you missed it theOtaku.com will be attending the con. You can meet Adam, check out our booth, have a chance to snag some great giveaway items, attend our panels AND you'll have a chance to meet a couple of my favorite voice actors as well as get their autographs. I'll post (or Adam will) a con update with more info about our voice acting guests. I will tell you that if you show up you'll be very happy meeting these guys. Their catalog of anime and gaming work is quite impressive. And yes, you can hear their voices in some very popular anime series currently airing on Cartoon Network. ^_^ But we all know if you are attending the convention it's all to meet me right!

*crickets*

Right?!

- Thanksgiving was very enjoyable. I love Thanksgiving. My parents and brother joined John and I at his parents' house up in the mountains. His brother was there too. It was a great time. Played games, watched football, ate lots of delicious food and had an overall wonderful time catching up on stuff. I guess it was decided that Christmas will be at my house which is nice since I won't have to travel over that holiday. Now, all those leftovers!

- November 25th is my anniversary. John and I will be celebrating our 11th anniversary. The traditional gift is "Steel". First thing that popped into my head was a sword. "Happy Anniversary honey, here's Excalibur." Yeah that'll work. LOL

-Holiday shopping. I have a bunch of birthday gifts I need to buy along with all that regular holiday shopping. I thought about hitting all those crazy early hour sales but then the lazy part of me decided it was too much work to fight the crowds. So here I am still at home. I'll get around to it later.

- Health wise I am doing okay. Same ol' same ol' for me. I have only a couple of appointments scheduled so I am pleased as punch that I'll not be spending the holidays in the waiting room of my docs' offices!

I think that is about it. theO has been keeping me busy with odds and ends and now with the holidays upon me I'm pretty sure I'll only get busier. Hope everyone had a wonder Thanksgiving and may the rest of your holiday season be a joyous one. I love you all and I'll be floating around the site if you need me.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Instead of comments I'm leaving you guys with a picture of me in the airport in Albany, NY.



When I was on my way to catch my flight to NYC there was this huge piece of art in the middle of the walkway and it just looked like a giant Katamari to me! I had to pose for a cheesetastic picture. Forgive me for my shabby look. We had to leave Lake George at 3am to catch our flight. The fact that I am fully dressed and moving was an achievement in itself!
