   Stuck To My Katamari: Aizen and Byakuya

Current Mood: Spacy Lo, I shall bestow upon thee an update! Well, at least it wasn't an entire month between updates this time. I just happen to have some free time on my hands (actually, I just don't feel like writing a review right now so I'm stalling) and thought it would be a nice time to give a quick update on the happenings 'round this place. I live such an exciting life I know you're all chomping at the bit in anticipation! *crickets* Or not. :P Well, John and I had a very nice anniversary. As you guys know from my last update the traditional 11th anniversary gift is steel. We decided to get new cook wear. Since John's hobby is cooking we got the fancy stainless steel cook wear set. He absolutely loves it. I love it since he is cooking all the meals! Health wise I am pretty much stuck at home right now. My last blood tests came back with super low Lymphocyte (white cell) counts so I need to be really careful. White cells are what fight off infections and such when you get sick. Since mine are low that means I can't fight off infections. I am what you would call "immunosuppressed". For some reason I feel like I am giving a physiology lesson right now...there will be a quiz later. LOL I'm pretty sure this is why I have no energy. The plus side to all this is that my doc has pulled me off of two of my meds including the chemo injections! Woo Hoo! Okay, since JD Person asked I will give you guys one clue as to what English voice actors will be in Vegas with theOtaku.com crew: Now you guys have to wait for the official theOtaku.com convention news update on the site for more info. They will be at our booth signing autographs as well as our panels. They are both really sweet guys and fun to hang with so if you can make it out to Vegas I hope to see you there. Now I know not everyone can make it out to Vegas and would like us (theO) to attend cons closer to their hometowns. I can't speak for Adam but I know I would be more than happy to attend any con that invited theOtaku.com as guests. ^_^ I would like to do something on the site for those who can't attend the con. Some sort of contest with a prize being an autographed DVD, poster or something from the VA's that are going to Vegas. I'm not sure what the contest would be since I would like to have it open to as many members as possible. Fan art contest exclude non-artists so I wouldn't want to do that. Maybe the best myO blog dedicated to one of the characters the VA's have voiced or something along that line. I guess I shouldn't worry about that right now since I would first have to get it cleared by Adam to run such a contest. We'll see... I suppose that is about it for now. I really should get back to work. Hope life is treating you all kindly and the holidays aren't too stressful. Keep out of trouble and I hope to see you around the site. Remember, if you need any help with the site you can always email me or send me a PM either here or on the OtakuBoards. Well, take care and I'll be see you guys around. ^_^ Cookies and Comments Mimmi: *hugs* We will get together. That is a promise. ^_^ On to the topic of "The Electric Sheep Company": They do lots of work on Second Life, which is a virtual world you can go mess around in, and they have their own island called Sheep Island (go figure). On this island they have their virtual office where in the lobby there is a giant "electric sheep" (John did the original animation) that floats above a platform in the center of the lobby. On the base is a big button. When you press the button the sheep "plugs" into the base. At which time this electrical looking charge zaps it and it lights up. The best part is it will "Baa" when you plug it in. LOL Just for Mimmi, a pic of the "Electric Sheep". Oh and I don't think I mentioned this in my last post but at that Sheep gathering everyone got a glow-in-the-dark Sheep t-shirt. I've got to take a picture of it. It's so...electric and sheepy! And for those who haven't noticed, the Sheep only has 3 legs in the shape of the electrical prongs on electrical appliances. jkrowlingdahl: I did mention to him that I was thinking about getting him a sword for our anniversary. He got a good chuckle out of that. But alas, we opted for the more practical gift. Pots and pans. How boring huh. Maybe I should got to the mall and buy him a sword from the "Cutlery" place? LOL KitsuneTsuki: I am such a cheesy person. You should have seen me at the airport at 3am. I instantly woke up when I saw that thing in front of me. I was like: "OMG! It's a Katamari! *tosses camera at hubby* Take my picture! LOL I swear, I've never been so excited by airport art in my life! This is probably the cosplaying part of me that isn't embarrassed to take pictures in public. Lucky I didn't have one more person with me or I would have had them take a picture of John "pushing" the Katamari with me laying down on the opposite side being "rolled up". Yeah, I would totally lay down next to it for a photo op. If only I had my Katamari Damacy costume with me... CosmicSailor: You know, when it comes to gifts I am really a part of the "it's the thought that counts" group of gift givers. One of my best friends and I have this long running gag about this certain brand of Shortbread cookies. One time while on plane traveling to a veterinary conference we were given these cookies as the onboard snack. The main ingredient was butter. It was pretty much just a stick of butter with sugar and flour. So I'll just go to the store, pick up one of those little snack packs of this cookie as a gift for her. I actually just gave her one the other day. Cost me under a buck and it's good for a laugh. You are right though, $20 doesn't go nearly as far as it use too. I do know that you can get a really nice throw blanket for that price. ^_^ JD Person: I know my clue may not help since the two Bleach captains they are voicing haven't yet appeared on CN, but they will soon. "Byakuya" is a really dear friend of mine and I love him to pieces. I am certain if you've been watching any dubbed anime like Naruto or Eureka 7 or playing any games recently you've heard their voices. ^_^ BeatingHearts: My last post only made it seem like I had lots going on. It was over a month since the previous post so I actually had stuff to write about. >_<;; As you can see by this latest update I really don't have much to chat about. I really am a very boring person. blackwings: If there is one thing I don't miss it's working retail during the holidays. I loved the discounts but dealing with unhappy holiday shoppers is such a downer. I am a very good shopper. I love shopping so the holidays are a great excuse to go, well, shopping! I'm sure these angry people just aren't shoppers to begin with so the stress of the holidays and the masses of people just drive them over the edge. Sheesh, this just sorta turned into a rant about angry shoppers! I'm almost done with my shopping so it's all good. Keeper of Souls: I just don't have stuff to post about. I can see it now. Day after day of the same post. "I got up, drank coffee, watched anime, played some FF12 and/or FF3, did some writing and then went to bed." Now times that by 30 and you've got a month's worth of posts from me. LOL Monkey Orange: We had a very nice anniversary thanks! Now is not a great time to fly in to JFK. They are doing some major overhauling of the terminals so it's a total mess in there. So don't feel bad you haven't gone for a visit, you're just waiting for the construction to finish! ~_^ NYC to me is a very nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. People steal your clothes on the trains there! *looks at Adam*
