Spring! ...sort of.

It seems like winter has (for the most part) finally come to an end, which I'm infinitely pleased about. It's been really warm lately, by which I mean it's been about 45-50 degrees on most days. Today is no exception, but it's also windy with pouring rain so I'm thinking I'll just stay home all day. And you know what that means... pointless blog-update time!

What have I been up to in the past month and a half? Embarrassingly little, as usual. In no particular order, I...

• worked
• worked
• figured out how the hell sudoku works
• worked
• started raw-feeding the cats, because they are fatties
• worked some more
• consistently spent more money on clothing and food than my salary sustains
• etc.

There was probably more, but nothing was really noteworthy enough for me to remember. Now that the weather is finally getting nice, I'm thinking I'll try to get out more, if not only because I want to take pictures of things other than my cats.



...adorable as they may be.


A road trip would be nice, but I don't think there's really anywhere within driving distance of here that's worth going to. I'll have to research this. D:


...I think that's about all I have to write about, how pathetic is that? This wasn't even a legit update! Let's see what else I can think of in the next, like, 30 seconds.

I finally got around to playing the Nintendo DS game "999: 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors". This game was unexpectedly one of the most awesome things I've ever played, it's right up there with Phoenix Wright and Layton on my list of favorites now. I need to make a proper review at some point, though I don't know what I can say about it that other reviewers haven't already said. I've also recently started playing Okamiden, which I'll hold off on forming any opinions about until I've finished.

Kaz is playing The House of the Dead: Overkill on the Wii right now, and one of the main characters totally sounds like Fat Tony from the Simpsons. It's a little distracting.

I dyed my hair a sort of reddish-blonde that looked really ginger when I first did it about 2 weeks ago, but it's already faded out. Goddamn L'oreal Preference, it always lures me away from Feria, and it never works like it's supposed to.

Oh yeah! And I'm totally going to Mexico in exactly 6 weeks. Stoked as shiat!




And now that's really about all I can think of. Guess I'll go see if there are any new Korean dramas worth watching. But who am I kidding? Even if there aren't, I'll probably watch them anyway.

Snow day!

As always, I've been grossly neglecting this blog for weeks on end. My bad. I really haven't had all that much to update about, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to just write about the trivial things I do on a daily basis. As a late New Year's resolution, I'll try to work on that! 8D;

So what was the catalyst for today's de-cloaking? We had a snow day today! In case you've been living under a rock, or just living anywhere besides the midwest, there was a raging blizzard that lasted from yesterday afternoon until this morning. I suppose I can't really complain, since we've been extremely lucky thus far this winter in terms of snow and ice. It got so bad yesterday that my company sent everyone home early by around 3pm. The drive home was atrocious and took at least 9000 years, but on the plus side, I haven't had to leave since. The roads were so bad today that pretty much every business was shut down, including mine.



The only thing I needed to do today was dig my car out from its icy tomb, which proved a much more difficult task than I would have imagined. Kaz and I both managed to hear talk of this impending blizzard for the past week without ever thinking to invest in a snow shovel. So I got to enjoy the experience of standing in the parking lot and using my ice scraper like a golf club to clear a path out for my poor car. It was about as ineffective as it was ridiculous, and I'm assuming I'm going to have a bitch of a time trying to get out of the lot tomorrow morning. Can't they just cancel work for the rest of the week? =/

Kaz is actually in Georgia right now, or I'm sure he'd already have taken care of this for me. He managed to get on one of the only flights that actually left from O'Hare yesterday, what luck. It's odd that every time I actually write something here, he's away on business somewhere in the south, what's up with that? He doesn't go on all that many trips, so it's kind of weird.

Anyway, that's about all I have to report. All I've really been doing lately is playing Okamiden, watching terrible movies, and going on furniture shopping sprees with Kaz at IKEA. Our apartment is starting to look less like a college dorm and more like a legit apartment, it's fancy as shit. ♥



Oh, but yeah, terrible movies. We watched something called Chain Letter the other day, and I can't really remember the last time I so desperately wished I could get an hour and twenty minutes of my life back. And I'm not all that picky when it comes to brainless horror movies, so that's saying something. Kaz keeps suggesting we watch The Human Centipede because it sounds so awful, but I think I'll pass on that. For much the same reason I have never been curious enough to watch 2 Girls 1 Cup.

Alright, that was really all I could come up with, I need to go make some dinner for myself. The neighbors are cooking something ethnic-y and it smells hella good. I'm jealous, because all I have in the fridge are pineapple chunks. ...Sigh. D:
