how did i miss so much ;^;

lesee: @forum: thanks for worrying about me. ^^ as for keeping in touch, if anyone wants my cell number, i'll provide. just don't call me, it's more expensive than texting. :\

@nationalism: my dad actually gave me a pamphlet earlier where i get to take a quiz about switzerland to be entered to win a swiss watch. Swiss citizenship ftw. ^^

@halloween: i wanted to do something, but since the power was knocked out all over town, we didn't even get the 2 trick-or-treaters our house gets annually. :\
only thing that happened was that the trains were knocked out so i skipped class. ><;; i didn't even get to tell my teacher till wednesday.

@multics: pour some out for fallen brothers......*soaks floor in sprite*

@alex: welcome back, and nice avi. :3 been meaning to watch that series. :\


to catch up, this week has been hectic. we lost power saturday night and didn't get it back till the following wednesday night. (on the upside, only having the radio for entertainment made it easy to focus on schoolwork.) i'm behind on my work, and my project on wednesday flopped. ><; (however, i went to an awesome museum on wednesday, and ended up getting there 2 hours early, so i hung out by the pier till everyone else showed up. it was so peaceful. ^^) after that, i have a couple projects to work on this weekend, including the 3 new dollfies i got yesterday. ^^ though i learned something about them, that'll i'll detail in the anime section.

that said, TL;DR: radios are great for focus, my project that i sunk the majority of the week into flopped (and i hate watercolour now), go to the ICA in boston if you get the chance, and i have 3 new dollfies. :3

Good to hear that you're okay, Kari! *hugz*  We all missed you!

@Kari: Good to have you back ^_^

So, I'm about to start work on that eMachines desktop. It's a slow day so far, so why not pass the time tinkering with something?

@redium: good to be back. :3

so i have nog and crab rangoon, and there are kittens on tv. >:3

So, I came up with a great idea; one that actually tops my idea of "anime convention on a nice boat"

My parents can't figure out what they want to get me for Christmas, so I came up with the idea of suggesting that they can give me some money to be added to my "adventure fund", so I can take an epic adventure within the next few months. Hey; they're going to Florida in February, so no reason why I can't save my money and take a journey of my own.

i sense ADVENTURE TIEM

[Nichi]

Oh yeah; it'll be adventure time.

Soon...

I had to open a Japanese iTunes account in order to get Ore no Imouto iP onto my iPhone.  Then I had to hunt around for a reasonably priced Japanese iTunes points card so I could download the expansions for it. That was more complicated than it needed to be...

[NejinOniwa]

iTunes?
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh no.

Belated welcome back, Kari!  It's great to hear you're doing well, and hopefully catching back up on your studies ^^;.

Update on the job front - my interview went well, but I still haven't heard back.  I was told that if I wasn't contacted by Tuesday to consider the position filled (there were two other people interviewing for the job) :/.  Even if I don't get this job, though, I think I made a good enough impression that they'll consider me for future openings.

[Red-Machine]

Well, good luck mate!

[Chocofreak13]

@dan: thanks and good luck. :3 i'm sure you'll get the job, you're one of the more professional, peaceful ones on this site. xD
@red:


you silly cigarette you. xD


so guys, today i heard an interesting tale from my teacher. he's a distinguished dude, likely in his 60's and very professional and knowledgable, and he began his tale by stating that he was hiding in the bushes to spy on some very famous japanese ladies.
they were the consorts of japan, the rank above geisha, and there were only 5 of them. they're revered like goddesses in their native land and having a dinner with them can set you back up to $1 mil. on that day they were going to their yearly visit to the grave of the head consort. he was told to get there early, and ended up waiting for hours in the bush before they approached the garden to change into their formal costume. he was spotted by one of the women, and while they're not supposed to acknowledge random strangers, she winked at him. :3

he said that before that experience, he found the whole system of geisha to be degrading to women, but came out of that moment feeling just the opposite. :3

@Kari: That is awesome *thumbs up*

@Dan: Hope you land the job ^_^
