Happy one, guys!
Like:
"Hey, it's Thursday!"
"Oh! Have a happy one!"
I've been writing this week, and you'd think that means I be eager to keep writing, and write pages and pages here. But it's not so. I've got something I need to finish, but I wanted to get this out of the way so I could focus on that, and not end up forgetting this. Got it? Hahah, Got it memorized? Never mind.
I'm not great at Empire Earth. But, I'm better than Jennifer and.......that other kid put together. It comes from my War/StarCraft upbringing. But I'm better at those. But, Empire Earth. Tis fun. Makes me want to play StarCraft. XD
Hahah, I'm so not focused on this. I was thinking about what happened this week that I could tell ya about, and then it made me think of some other things, so I went to check on them instead of writing. I'm going to go and check on them again, k?
Hmm, that was interesting. Then I'm checking my mail.
You know what's a fun song to have stuck in your head? One Winged Angel. "Sephiroth, Sephiroth, SephiSephiSephiroth!" Ok, that's not what they sing, but there's a part that when it gets stuck in my head, that's what I sing instead of the random Latin or whatever. Then there's "Springtime, for Hitler, and Germany!" from The Producers. Funny, funny movie.
Had sushi for the first time this week. Like, first time in my whole whole life. Real sushi, like, raw fish on top of rice, is just BLEEEEEEEHHHHHRG!! But the rolls (I had some California rolls and eel rolls) were just fine! Which is interesting, 'cause I count nori among my hated enemies, but in the rolls I couldn't even taste it. In recap, the new sushi play Yomama Sushi (snicker) is delightful if you don't get sushi, and Mama-ya is still great. Just out of an-man. ;_;
I've found that I really love an, the red bean stuff. Gimme a snack with an in it anyday! Like dorayaki, which is what's on that bunny's head if you've ever seen that pic of the bunny with a "pancake" on its head. FYI.
Work was ok today, besides the fact that I had to get up at 5. But it was only four hours, and my favorite checker was there, and all the customers weren't. We talked about the annoyance of invisible lemurs, and the problems with counterfeiting invisible money, and how sneaky the invisible dead are. I also swept up some blueberries with a squeegee. WOW, that's weird word to spell. I bet there's actually no spelling, and people just only say it.
Nya nya, is that enough? Yeah? Ok, OH and I beat Kingdom Hearts II, which was a beautiful game, and now I can write fanfiction and start over in Hard so I can get the secret ending which may or may not be worth playing through in Hard to get!!
Mmm, summer.

Thrifting My Life Away
Happy Thursday!
The big news this week was that my car was broken into. Luckily, though, he musta been really stupid, 'cause he didn't succeed in taking anything. Tried to get my CD player. Y'know, the kind that you can pop in and off? He'd unscrewed the ashtray and had pried off the side of the paneling around the CD player. And you know the glove compartment, with the little catch to open it? The corner's all pulled out, like he tried to open it without even trying the catch first. Really, not a smart guy. Also lucky all I had in my car was like a thingamabobber that was in there when I got it, and like four burned cds, with titles ranging from "Rowdy Japanese Music" to "V. 2." He didn't seem to think those were worth anything, 'cause they were just sitting there on the passenger's seat. That was the night my cousins (and their pack of kids) were over, so also lucky the guy was scared away before he could do anymore stupid damage. What a silly muffin he was.
I s'pose the other big news was that my cousins and their kids visited. That like, never happens, 'cause usually they're in Africa. But they managed to give us a stop-by while on this continent, and that was real nice.
Oh, the thrifting. Thrifting without NEEDING to find the exact right bit of something for this or the other costume is pretty great. Right now, I'm thrifting for ties, records, tapes, a tape player, and any other old, useless bit of technology. Examples:
On ..Monday? Yes. On Monday I walked with my Sis to the Salvation Army (We live soooo close to it!!) and I bought a brand-new-looking tie, a Disneyland soundtrack record, and a Borodin record for a buck apiece.
Wednesday, I pulled my fam into the Goodwill next to my dad's work. Got a snazzy silver-with-red/blue-accents tie, also brand-new-looking, $1.49 (Goodwill's sorta the rich-person's thrift shop). Added to my growing record collection 2 Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, a Tony Bennet, and a Great Music By Russian Composers. Oh yeah. And I got a tape, The Story of Star Wars, narrated by somebody and featuring the movie cast. All of these musical treasures were 49 cents apiece, I might add.
Also later that Weds, me and the gang hit up the regular downtown shops, and I bought a Monty Python tape for 97 cents.
I'm buying tapes, hoping to come across another treasure as the one I once found, a radio adaptation of The Maltese Falcon complete with Humphrey Bogart himself. Also because I'm rapidly turning into a compulsive lover of obsolete technology, as proclaimed by that Kodak camera that uses film I've never heard of, and the 80s-looking phone where the buttons are arranged in a circle where the circle of a old-tyme-dial phone would be. So now I'm looking for a tape player with attached speakers, because I seem to have single-handedly broken all the tape players in the house, and I don't want to have to listen to all my tapes on the old skool walkman that I have to keep stealing a battery out of my cdplayer so that it'll play.
Hooray, tapes!
And, at least, we have a working record player, in case you were wondering.
And, at least, I have to wear ties every day to work, in case you were wondering.
May your financial ventures be as thrifty as mine~

This Week's Episode Makes Me Want To Die In A Fire
Well, it was a really bad episode, but that's not what I said, it's a quote from the subbers.
So, The AX was ..a while ago? It was a lot of fun! I don't remember it very well, but I don't remember a lot of things. I guess I won't write a big report about it, 'cause, really, who's reading this who didn't go?
Ummmm, so, Lobsters. I talk to myself at work, starting today. So, I was talking to myself, and I said something about...something, I dunno, and then I surprised myself by ending it with "...lobster?" and then I giggled to myself. It made my day good.
Also, also, I like when you do a certain action, and give it a name, and then say its name as you do it. Like, "shoulder!!" just now in that dancing show.
But the lobsters are mine, and you will never get them. Except Carolyn might. But we wrestled for them, and I almost won. Little, little, plastic lobsters. We played with them for OVER AN HOUR. We really rock.
Also, at the park, we took over the playground and turned it into a ship, and Steven was the Borg, and I was the captain, and Carolyn was the first officer, and Jacqi was sorta the chief of security, and Marie was sorta the medic, and Jennifer was sorta the helmsman. But too bad we had to selfdestruct the ship at the end. ;_;
Ummm, I guess I'll have AX pictures up at ayan.zoto.com eventually, but right now that whole site doesn't seem to be working. Maybe later. Yeah. Or, I'll put them on Flickr or something. But I think of my Flickr as a place for good pics, not randomness. And I'm a little sad that I set my camera wrong, and most my pics are rather blue.
What else to say, what else. Well. If you want to know about anything else, you can just ask. Y'know?
Happy Thursday, after a lovely 9 hours of work.... ;_;
