Alex and I are getting married on March 29th. We are excited, but it’s a lot of work, and money. The IRS still hasn’t paid us for Obama’s First Time Homebuyer credit, so we’re pretty pissed about that. Also, within a week, the cost of the flight and hotel in Japan has doubled. So, if the IRS doesn’t pay us back soon, we’re going to have to push this trip out to next year. I’m pretty upset about that.

I watched Second Skin, a documentary about MMORPG’s. It’s really good, and it makes me want to play Everquest II some more, so right now I’m waiting on that to download. I have nothing better to do in the meantime, so I’m blogging for once. The documentary had me bawling and sobbing when they were showing the disabled people, who through these games, feel like they can almost walk and can participate in something like everyone else.

Last night I went to a get together a friend from work put together. Lots of people were smoking and we were having a blast talking on the back porch. Being around all that smoke turned out to be bad though, my throat is sore and I think I got sick from it. So I missed work today, and I’m drinking Dayquil.

That’s about it. I guess. Just waiting on EQ2 to install, and waiting on my wedding day to come. Also, waiting for my money from the IRS.

Google, it’s Talk Like A Pirate Day. Did you know that? Why is your logo normal?

Just YouTube “Greatest Freak Out Ever” and you’ll find it. This kid completely flipped because his mom canceled his WoW account.

There’s a lot of talk of whether or not it’s real. Well, I think it’s real. Just watch it at 1:10 over and over again. Look at his face. There’s no way you could fake that.

Maybe the following “freakouts” are staged, but the first one, it’s real. You just know it.

I mean, I don’t blame the kid, I would freak if my mom canceled my Club Pogo account! I don’t think I’d molest my remote though. And the worst part is, I think that’s a COMCAST remote. Silver on top and black on the back! You just don’t do that shit to Comcast.

And kudos to his brother! Nothing’s more funny than convincing everyone in the world that your brother’s a lunatic. I’m wondering if anyone from any talk show has contacted this family. I’m waiting for Oprah to do a special on MMO’s and their effect on families. She’s so inviting this family!

I recently got the new Professor Layton game. The Diabolical Box. Just as good as the first. Still very frusterating. And I love how it brings the old characters back into the game in new ways.

Also, we had a LAN party last Monday. It was so much fun. I got to meet so many people Alex works with. They all played Halo, Unreal, Diablo II, and some other games. :P I had a blast.

I recently started making amigurumi things. I love them! If you don’t know what amigurumi is, go Google Image Search it! Aren’t they cute? Right now I’m working on a Halloween set. I’m also working on crocheting a huge afghan for Alex in the shape of Captian Olimar from Pikmin! I hope he loves it when it’s done. Each 6″ granny square that I’m making is going to be a pixel.

I also made a flower bed!!! I’m so proud of it it’s not even funny. It’s so cute. I didn’t have enough money for a lot of flowers or shrubs, so it’s kind of sparse back there. It’s got edgers, and mulch, a rose bush, and a gardenia shrub… and that’s it. Next week there will be more, pay day is comin’!

I bought a cat today. I decided that I can’t decide on a name for her.

Either フワフワ(Fuwafuwa=Fuzzy), 死神(Shinigami=Death God), or Glados from the video game, Portal. I’ve been calling her watever I feel like. I also call her 私の猫(Watashi no neko=My cat) a lot.

Hahaha.

She’s gray and stripey and four month’s old. I also would love to call her 団子(Dango=dumpling)　as in… 団子大家族(Dango Daikazoku, or the Big Dango Family.. a popular-ish Japanese children’s song) ….. Ooooh… And I also looove the name 花ちゃん Hana-chan… Flower.

I do hope this blog isn’t a bunch of jibberish. Take care~!
