What?

Whatever happened to me this time?

Atlantica Did.

I restarted the game and have since become thoroughly addicted to it....

I'll admit that this addiction probably won't last long after the free hero package wears off but, It's a good time waster until then.

The down side to this gaming addiction?  My Anime viewing has become non existent....

With the exception of Madoka most of my series have finally come to an end, I'll find some time to Marathon thru the remaining episodes and hopefully post here for my own entertainments.

Final 2 Episodes of Madoka Please.

Cold Again.

There was a bit of a break in the extreme cold weather, Was sort of wishing it was going to last till spring but... no luck there.  I'm sort of getting use to it but really... I prefer Spring/Summer.

The worse part about the Winter is.... The hot water is always breaking.  I have no idea what is up with these apartments but every winter the hot water breaks at least three times a month.  I'm not sure if it's just them over doing the boiler for all the units to get hot water or if it's just bad luck... Whatever it is I wish they would get it fixed.

Last year wasn't as bad when the hot water broke, I could go to my gym and take a hot shower but now that my old gym closed and I had to switch to a new one... no hot shower.  The new gym has no showers... or locker room at that.. Love the whole 24 Hour thing but maybe I should have joined the YMCA, They at least have hot showers.

Oh well, Even with the water issue I like it here... as long as I have cold water I can make hot water with the stove or microwave. At least it's not that special time of the month.....

Onto my early weekly report....

Saturday~  It was Christmas... sorta.  Really it was New Years but since a snowstorm hit the relatives places back on the real Christmas we had to wait till they thawed out and rescheduled.  The day wasn't all that bad... was only minorly stressful with the relatives. Seems they don't really bother asking me questions anymore since I never gave much in the way of answers anyways.

Sunday~  Chill day, Just went to Borders and Panera for food. Nothing special...

Monday~  Went to the Gym!  Ha! See... First Monday of the year and I actually didn't flake out. Only gained two pounds too which was amazing since it was also "that time of the month" which normally gives me about five pounds...
      Food?  Arby's, What's up with their price increases... I swear every time I go there my sandwich costs more.

Tuesday~ I don't remember what I did.... The only thing I do remember is.. It was relatively warm and I finally got to go outside for a walk.  Down the hilly road and back up, then to see the sheep which really seemed happy to see me.... until they realized I had no food.  Need to get a bushel of carrots and go over there again...

Wednesday~ Felt like shit... woke up feeling terrible and nothing about the day made it better. Had two waffles for breakfast and we made burritos for supper.   Well, I guess the Burritos made some things better..

Thursday~  Sushi!  From a new place for lunch.  Within walking distance of my home even which is amazing.. I even tried the Gyoza finally...  Yummy Lil Dumplings.  Far better then the Steamed Dumplings at the nearest Chinese spot.  The Sushi wasn't quite up to par with Oishii but it will do in a fix and it's cheaper to boot..
      After lunch we went out and the dad bought himself a computer mouse with his WalMart gift card, Why is this not worthy?  He never uses those gift cards the relatives give him on himself.. he tends to buy food or something with them... So him buying something for himself is amazing.

Friday~  Here I am, I went to the gym this morning and came back to a semi warm shower. Even with the cold weather, no "hot" water and the minor worry that my phone may die any minute... I am in a pretty good mood.  If only this mood would last thru the winter, then I'd be all set...
       Food?  Pizza.  Stomach is a bit upset but I will survive.

It's Sunday....

Well, It's Sunday again.....

Last week was seven days of ups and downs, That tends to happen a few days before the dreaded time of the month.  Sometimes I really hate being a female....

Monday; What can I say, It was a Monday. Should have went to the gym but didn't, Had to hand wash some of my clothes and clean up the apartment.  Actually ate chicken and rosemary garlic red potatoes at home.

Tuesday;  Taste of Asia is gone, Booooo. With absolutely no warning they just up and vanished. {Their facebook is even gone.}This wasn't actually a surprise since their food was right there in the average range, I could probably make the food better myself.  The thing that makes this so bad?  Since Bubble Cup closed Taste of Asia was my main place to get Bubble Drinks.  RIP Lychee Smoothie. 
     With ToA gone we ended up back over in Norton Commons at the Tea Station. I must say their food is far,far superior to ToAs was but...  They don't have Lychee Bubble Anything.  Their Coconut and Taro Boba are so far the best.
       After food/drink I remembered to go vote and since the polling place was close to the gym, I bobbled over there for a little work out.  Supper? Leftovers.

Wednesday; Mehness, Gym and that's basically it.  Supper was actually a hot pocket and sweet potato fries, Go me for eating in a second time in one week.

Thursday;  BJ's Hot ham and cheese sandwich is an amazing comfort food, I'm sure it's also one of the most unhealthy lunch options but...OMG the bread is scrumptious.  They even let me replace the evil tomato bisque with minestrone.  I love Minestrone soup, BJs having one of the better ones. Olive Gardens is okay, Spaghetti Factory's quite good, Carraba's is more like a cabbage soup then Minestrone but it's tasty as well.
        Went to Borders with a 40% off coupon, Bought the first Card Captor Sakura Omnibus.  I know I said no more manga other then Finder but, Passing up 40% off a 20 dollar Manga would be nuts.
           New rule? Two Manga a month.

Friday;  Pretty crappy day, Felt achy and terrible all day. Knew what was coming and it did, That time of the month always sucks. Had sausage and mushroom pizza for supper, Perfecto Pizza has yet to totally fail me.  Their anchovies totally suck but the other toppings have been pretty good.  After was B&N, White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake.   <3    Sure we have a Cheesecake Factory here but, It's cheaper to buy slices of their cheesecake at B&N and the CF food sucks anyways.
        Friday was freakishly cold for November.

Saturday;  The TV died.  It died last winter as well and we had it fixed at a TV shop for like 100 dollars.  The first time was a slow death, it was dying for a couple weeks before it finally stopped working. This time? The screen went black.  Turned it off and back on, stayed on for like five minutes before going out again. Still have sound, No picture. Won't be worth it to get it fixed again, Just gonna have to wait and use the dinky backup TV until we can afford a replacement.
         Went for Fish Tacos at a local place, Dragon King's Daughter or something to that extent. Wonderful food, Very unusual food too.    No left overs. :(
       Checked out the Fresh Market as well, Didn't bother with any of the free sample specials since the lines were huge.  The place is a lot like Whole Foods just not as big, The cookies were cheaper then WF so I tried a Kitchen Sink, Sort of like WFs Jumble Cookie but it wasn't dry and brittle like the last one I got at WFs was.  Bought some Pork Potstickers for supper, 15 for 6 dollars.  Quite cheap, Only ate five last night so these will be breakfast for a couple days as well. They aren't as good as some I've had out but... for the price and convenience I can't complain.

Now,Sunday....... I feel crappy. Can't really use Pamprim or Midol since they put me to sleep for some reason, Even the ones with the caffeine.  The time change last night was nice, Gave me an extra hour to watch Being Human.... but now it feels like 3 and it's only 2.  -_-
       Maybe I should just curl up on the couch and sleep the rest of the day.

Bad Days and Pumpkins.

It's been one of those days..... I woke up with the biggest headache known to humankind accompanied by ear and jaw pain. I just didn't wanna get out of bed but I decided to punish myself and do so.

I hate when there are people around when I first wake up, even when I am feeling good they are just irritating.. so much so that an entire day can be ruined by seeing humans the first hour after I rise.  Ever since my dad retired human contact is impossible to avoid in the morning, What's worse is it's talkative, relatively cheery contact....

No, I don't want to talk or hear about what you've seen on TV this morning. No, I don't want to answer any questions about anything in the morning. No, I don't want you to give me any sort of bad news in the morning. I swear if he doesn't get a job soon I'm gonna go homicidal.  *sighs* Yes, It's been one of those days..  At least everyone got the fuck out around eleven so I could at least eat breakfast in peace.

After food and around four pain pills I finally decided to get to what I was planning to do for the day.. Washed the comforters and blankets.. straightened all the junk that we've accumulated in the kitchen and... PUMPKIN!

My one enjoyable activity for the day, Carving my pumpkin and cooking the seeds.  I only get pumpkin seeds once a year...

Meet Mister Pumpkin, Six dollars at a local fruit stand.

Got his Hat Off.

Who stole the seeds?  ;.;

Never mind... there they are. Gotta love getting your hands dirty.

So, I'm not an artist....

Or a carver... At least his hat stayed on this year, Most the time it falls back into him.

So... It doesn't light up very well.  It will do.

Didn't even cut myself...

For the love of Boba.

      Boba has been around for years... all over the world has had these wonderful drinks with squishy, yummy lil black balls sitting happily in the bottom of a tea, flavor, milk concoction.  Louisville was very, very late in acquiring such lovely drinks.

   Coming in all sorts of flavors, colors, styles these drinks have been the love of my life for the past year. Starting at a little place downtown, Taro was the most amazing new flavor of anything I had tried in quite a while. Then came Jasmine, Lavender, Mango, Papaya, Avocado... the list goes on and on.

  Sadly, My original place has closed and I have since found two more places to get a Tapioca fix. One offers Smoothies of various flavors and the other Bubble Tea and Slushies... Neither have the wondrous version of the Taro Tea that the original did but they will do.

   The Smoothie place did however introduce the Lychee Smoothie!  I was wanting a Bubble Tea in this flavor but the one in the area did not provide this and nor does the new one with the Tea.

Favorites -  Bubble Tea;  Lavender, Taro and Papaya.
                  Smoothie;     Lychee and Passion Fruit.

Dislikes-  Strawberry, Avocado, Red Bean.

 

Coconut!

3D Movies and Me.

Don't really like this trend....

    This past weekend we attempted to go see My Soul to Take but... Unlike it's opening weekend all the theatres here were only showing it in 3D. The first weekend there were a few times scheduled for us cheap{smart} people who don't want to pay the extra three dollars for 3D.

    I've seen three movies in 3D, Alice in Wonderland, Airbender and Despicable Me.  The better of the three? Despicable Me.   Alice's 3D was okay, Some scenes really seem to jump out at you. Airbender 3D sucked, I couldn't even tell it was 3D.  Despicable Me really worked in the 3D aspect, Could be because it was animated. 

    Anyways, Instead of seeing My Soul to Take we decided to see Red.  Having only seen a couple previews the only things I knew was it was about retired CIA agents.... Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman were in it and it looked to be a comedy.

     Comedy it was, The woman playing the lead female roll was the woman who played the mother in Gilmore Girls.  That was a HUGE positive, I love that woman.... in the she's very amusing and I get her comedy type love.  Now I know her name is Mary-Louise Parker.. Must find more of her movies.

     The movie was pretty good, Twists and action... Frank Moses is a retired CIA agent that passes his time flirting with the customer support agent {Sarah} assigned to him. He's always ripping up his pension checks and pretending that he didn't get one to have reason to talk to her.  One early morning a hit team shows up to kill him but he gets away......

     After going to Kansas City to pick up {kidnap} Sarah {who has also been targeted} they go on a road trip to pick up his old CIA buddies. Much chaos ensues, Some twists were easy to predict while others not so much.

   It wasn't a bad way to spend 2 hours... probably ended up better then My Soul to Take would have. It also makes the second movie in a row that we just spontaneously saw with it turning out pretty good.... The first being Machete back in September.

Boring Day

Damn you, Whoever broke or stole Netflixs only copy of Haruhi disc five. It's status just up and changes to Unavailable just as my Queue gets it to the top.  They must have known it wasn't available before then they were just teasing me into watching up thru disc four... Now I just have to hope the same thing doesn't happen for Hell Girl.

Of course other then that my day has been utterly eventless, Woke up... Went out for lunch.. Came home.. Went to the gym so on and so on... I really need to hit the gym more often since I am paying for it and all.

I'm also looking for a new game to play.

Found the Eden of the East movies online, Gonna watch those within the next couple days to hopefully find out what happens in the end.

It's 2 AM!

And here I am.

I really need to rethink my postings, an episode by episode account of anime just seems too unrealistic for me. Though I wasn't really planning to do that in the first place... It's more like a guide to what I have watched so that I won't forget.

Sadly, My memory is pretty much crap.

I did however just marathon episodes 1 thru 6 of Eden of the East, With just five more episodes to go I am wondering if they can really wrap it all up in 11 episodes. ANN has the Funimation subbed version on stream, Tried the first episode back when it originally came out via fansub but I apparently didn't get past the naked man with a gun infront of the White House....

The whole Selecao thing is entertaining, The different ways each of them are using their 10 Billion Yen seems realistic enough.  Given that much money it would be difficult not to just spend it on whatever, Having the terms of bettering your country as you see fit with it could make it a bit boring.

At episode six, I am really seeing this with a depressing end though... Is Akira going to die?  I'd really like him to end up with Saki somehow, That Osugi guy is really getting on my nerves.... The use of the word Johnnies has also gone a little over board.. 

Opinions ~  Selecao #4 Detective Kondo was an ass for most of the time he was alive; Trying to steal Akiras money by taking his phone was just low. It looked like he used up his money cheating on his wife... The end result was sweet though.. Go Wifey!
Selecao #5 Doctor Hiura appeared to be a pretty good guy; His money usage went towards medical treatment and machines for his hospital. Focusing heavly on aiding the elderly. He used all his money and was killed by the supporter.
Selecao #11 Kuroha AKA the kinky woman who lops off mens "johnnies" with a cigar cutter. She's a pretty woman, Really on the bitchy side though... Uses her money to clean up after her kills. I didn't quite catch why she likes cutting off guys penises but it probably had something to do with being raped...

Last 5 Episodes tomorrow, Hope the ending isn't suckage.....
