   Wooooooh, We're Halfway There . . .
Bon Jovi played at the restaurant last night. I enjoyed that.

So yeah, "Legolas" my buddy celebrated his 21st birthday that night. He had some friends from school, from work, and us from high school (myself and "Eowyn"). It was quite enjoyable, especially since I didn't have to drive, thus allowing me to partake in the barley, so to speak . . . yum.

Aside from that, I got my essay on Spartan society back in my Ancient History class, and was quite happy with the mark. Seems I need to cite more ancient sources, though (being a History/Classics course). But yeah, school's going okay so far - there may be hope yet.

In other news, I REALLY want to start writing articles and stories again! Thing is, for a lot of the anime ones I have in mind, I haven't watched the shows in a while so I'm afraid I'm not gonna do it as well as I could. I mean, I have them on file so it's not hard, but y'know - time consumption and all . . . . . in any case, I'm gonna try to do that within the week. Likewise, I have TWO "Cream Filling & Nougat" broad story outlines sketched out. I think they could be fun - still, I'm gonna hafta do my standard "what would you like to see from me?" routine. Ya know, just because.

That said, the 1:30am showing of Witch Hunter Robin is gonna start soon enough, so I'd best cut this off now. Sige!

   Short Update
School's goin' okay so far. I might survive it after all. Latin's still sucking big time, though.

New computer's been fixed for a while. May partially explain my lack of being around here. Gomen.

It snowed this morning. It looks pretty yet frightening all at once.

I'll post for real later. Matte ne.

   Still wanna be lazy!!!
So yes, school starts again, it seems. Poopie.

Good luck, youngin's. Hope it all goes well for y'all.

As for me, I'm just hoping things won't suck too much from the backlash of last semester - lotsa annual courses and all . . . . . but yeah, should be fun. Then a few more months and then it can be summer again!

A'ight, time to prepare. Peace out, yo

   2005, eh?
So, I thought now was as good a time as any to post today. Right now it's 4am, Pacific Standard, and my guests have just now left the house tired and more or less sobered up.

Essentially the six of us: myself, "Boromir", "Legolas", . . . . . hehe, just now someone called the house because she left a CD in my house - poor stepdad who answered the phone as well . . . . . anyway, it was "Pippin", "Faramir", and . . . we'll call this girl "Eowyn", and they got here first. Then shortly afterwards, "Legolas" came and much later afterwards, so did "Boromir". If you have no idea what I'm talking about, that's cool - I just like to code-name my friends, is all.

So yeah, they came over with some beers and champagne, we watched the new stuff on the first disk of extended RotK (go fig), watched a bit of New Year's whatevers on TV (at one point I was singing along with Amy Lee . . .) . . . then countdown, then generic-brand champagne (very tasty drink after drinking a couple beers I must say [though only if you're of age, mind you]). Then we played some video games, watched whatever stupid videos I happened to have on my computer at the time, and then watched Mulan for whatever reason. In any case, "Boromir" was asleep on the couch for most of it (dude works a LOT these days) . . . but yeah, we were all playing around 'til about 4am.

Basement's still a bit of a mess, but I'll clean it up tomorrow. I'm ridiculously sleepy right now . . . heh, cheers to 2005, everyone. See ya in the new year!

   New Year's Eve . . . interesting . . .
Heh . . . so, this year my friends feel that it is imperative that we do something this year big time. At the moment, it might end up being in my basement which would be cool. I still need to talk to the elders first and see how they've planned their night and all that . . . but yeah, it should definitely beat how I spent last new year's, where it hit midnight just as I crossed 4th street on 8th ave alone in the quiet streets of my area of town just walkin' around . . . . .


So let's see, resolutions . . . I suppose I'll stick with my "don't fail school" bit, but let me think of some other ones . . . some better ones that pertain to here . . . . .

1. I resolve to write at least TWO new "Cream Filling & Nougat" stories for this website, to retain their quality, their fun, and their enjoyment by all . . . or something . . .
   
2. I resolve to make a royally huge dent in theO's article section. I have many, many ideas for articles, and now that I'm not writing essays 24/7 right now, I'm gonna write some happy stuffs and write some things that I want to write.
   
3. I resolve to buy or begin buying "Escaflowne: The Movie", "Peace Maker Kurogane", and possibly ".hack//SIGN" among others if my funds prove adequate. I think it's time I upgraded some of my thingies to DVD standard . . .
   
4. I resolve to pay more attention to my guestbook. That thing's gone neglected long enough!
   
5. I resolve to finish Final Fantasy VII, thus putting that under my belt as well as finally breaking my curse of never finishing an odd-numbered Final Fantasy.
   
6. Most important of all, I resolve to keep all my most beloved people happy, especially when they're in their greatest times of need. I promise I'll always be there for ya . . .
   

I'm working 7am-4pm today. It's time for bed. Have a Happy New Year, everyone!

   Boxing Day and the following week is scary . . .
Yo! I'm back and stuff!

So yeah, Christmas was alright for me. Quiet and comfortable. It was fun enough. As for fun stories, well . . . I'll just throw in the part about how Christmas morning started for me at about 10am when the younger brother came into my room while I was in bed, threw an empty wrapping paper tube at me (hitting me "low" through the blanket, no less), and told me to hurry up and get up so we could open presents.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is proof of Christmas joy in a little boy even at the age of 19.


But yeah, ever since then I've just been working like a dog. Getting Superstore out of Christmas mode is proving effortful, especially with cleaning up all the toys in the Leisure department. Heh . . . y'know you can get a pretty decent fooseball table for about $25can. at Superstore right now? Heh, you Canucks better get in on that if you're looking for things like that! 'Cause you know it ain't gonna last!

But yeah, just watching a lot of DVDs, playing a lot of FFVII (got to the 3rd disk the other day), and workin' like the inu I am . . . even though I'm technically a pig . . . . . meh.

Cheers, all.

   T'was The Day Before Christmas . . . . .
T'was the day before Christmas,
Which started at eight,
And already I knew,
It started too late.

There was no time for breakfast,
Or coffee or tea,
Lest my dear supervisor
Be upset with me.

With barely a shower,
I flew out the door,
Put key in ignition,
and pedal to floor.

In a half an hour later,
I started my shift,
And I got to my boxes
Of lightbulbs to lift.

So for most of the morning,
I worked out my stock,
And while famished and tired,
I spied on the clock.

Something funny then happened,
'tween shovel and me,
The tool fell onto my head,
Just like on TV!

It hurt just a little,
And I cried no tears,
And soon I was better,
Though hunger still sears.

The hours took their time
Until 1 did arrive,
To free me for lunch
So that I might survive.

It soon after turned 2,
To work I returned,
But now things were boring,
As I soon then learned.

The new girl in my section,
She finished her duties,
She was all bored to hell,
Like old, stale cookies.

For hours we bummed about,
Not doing much,
'Til finally 6 came about,
Happy as such.

So quickly I rushed to home,
Thru cold and showers,
Bought gas for the Imprezza,
Giving it powers.

The home was quite cozy,
With family rested,
I got myself washed up,
Went downstairs and nested.

I would have come online next,
But brother waylaid me,
He said, "come, watch 'Bad Santa,'
I say it's quite funny!"

So instead down I sat,
With my dinner in front,
And watched Thornton play jerk,
Being forward and blunt.

T'was a rather fun movie,
Good fun was all had,
(Though if you're not old enough,
To watch would be bad.)

After movie I went upstairs
Into my room,
And I wrapped two last presents
like children in womb.

And thus now here I sit,
While in front of this screen,
Rhyming hard as I can,
Trying best to be keen.

But what can I say,
It all has been said,
This is a fun eve
Before rising from bed.

So now if you may,
Allow me this bit,
To say a few words
That to all you just fit . . .


To my Canada friends,
Alberta beyond,
I wish you much goodness,
In our country fond.

And now I'll get corny,
So bear if you may,
For stereotype:
Merry Christmas, Eh!

A prop to my neighbours,
Below the four-nine,
You've all become wonderful
People of mine.

From the east and the west,
I wish you all cheer,
And for 21-over,
I'll buy your first beer.

In the Pacific I know,
a few others as well,
I wish all of you laughter,
And some joy they can't sell.

Especially one girl,
Who's feeling all bad,
Hawk, if you read this,
Try not to feel sad.

Things will get all better,
I hope and I trust,
But 'til that all happens,
Hang in there, you must . . .

The other sea brings others,
From Isle and Mainland,
I've forgotten not you peeps,
Who all deserve a hand.

"Vrolijk Kerstfeest",
"God Jul" and much more,
Have a wonderful Christmas,
And all that's in store.

So I think that shall cover
My continents all,
Thus I could quit this now
'Fore apart it might fall . . .

But no, I've one more wish,
That here I must show,
For those who all know me,
You'll know where I'll go.

While we play through this day,
There is one who still works,
It sucks, it's not fair,
And it's all for few perks.

When you leave from the lab,
I shall wait right here,
And again I'll wish to you,
Some holiday cheer.

So take care, my lady,
Rest up and lie down,
The best gift of all
is your face without frown . . .


With all of that said,
I'd best take my leave,
It's been past an hour,
Since at this I heaved.

I feel that today
Should be nice for us all,
With our friends an our family
We'll all have a ball!

To all my anime comrades,
May you enjoy this day!
Enjoy a suteki Kurisumasu,
And have some fun, ne?




. . . okay, technically it was a long-handled ice scraper, not a shovel . . . it was still funny . . . . . but yes . . .

Minna-san, Merii Kurisumasu!!!

   HOW is it already Christmas Eve?!?!
Yoboseyo!

First off, to answer a question: yes, I know of Bryan Adams. And yes, he even came to sing at my wedding because we're actually quite close since all Canadians are indeed quite close in that sense. Then he funked up the national anthem and we booted him from the reception and had Nickelback take over . . . until we booted them as well for just not being so interesting . . . . . and yeah, I do know Neil Young! He lives in Canada, right? Yeah . . .he's dead now.
[/wiseass]
(I'm really sorry about that, by the way. I just sorta felt like playing that up a bit because it'd be good for a laugh. Though, you may feel free to take a free shot on me if you so need to, a'ight?)

Aaaaaanyways, I've got another 8 hour shift at Superstore tomorrow morning, so that should be fun . . . it's not so bad, though. Heh . . . I'll tell ya one thing that drives me nuts at work though. On one of the Christmas CDs they play in the store, one has "12 Days of Christmas" and it screws with the last few days! It had like, ten drummers drumming (when there should be twelve of them), among other things! I was quite perturbed, I must say . . .

So yes, to reiterate, the order goes:
-Twelve drummers drumming
-'Leven pipers piping
-Ten lords a'leaping
-Nine ladies dancing
-Eight maids a'milking
-Seven swans a'swimming
-Six geese a'laying
-Fiiiiiiive gooooolden riiiiiings
-Four calling birds
-Three French hens
-Two turtledoves
-And a partridge in gravy

Savvy?


As always, I'll have a really good post for Christmas day. Hope you're all lookin' forward to it!
