Dammit, Eric's got me considering teaching English in Japan. I don't know how comfortable I am with the whole thing, but it would be a means to get there, make some money, study Japanese, look for a different job after knowing better Japanese and have an adventure. On the other hand, I don't know how trusting of eikaiwa, I am. Yeah, I did interview for JET... 2 years ago? No, maybe a year and a half and wasn't accepted. I don't know that I really liked the thought of being in the country that much though. I haven't really kept track of who is in business and who isn't anymore in Tokyo, but I found a place that I liked, but could see how it is completely shady/shitty (Gaba Corporation, for reference). I like that you can make your own schedule, but get paid barely enough to live I guess and you're not guaranteed hours, so...
The other thought I had was just going on a tourist Visa and seeing if I find work. :P Probably not the best though. I need to decide if I think being in Japan for a little while will be enough though to make it fun enough, even if I have to scrape by for a little bit. If anyone wants to tell me what to do exactly, I'm open to it~ I've been considering something in London or Spain as well.
Of course, all this goes down when Erika tells me that she thinks I should move out to LA and that she would roommate with me.
There's just too many options and it's too hard to weigh them. I either don't advance on the money I have (unless some miracle happens in Japan) or I can move somewhere and... like make some fucking money, I guess. Money isn't everything though, but it sure pays for shit.
If only people still got easily paid for blogging about things. Or do they?
Who knew living could be such an ordeal?

Been slightly indulgent this weekend. Really thought I needed some new clothes for work (and didn't want to stay inside the ENTIRE weekend, despite everyone being out of town) and headed to el Gap as they tend to have really good sales when I do go. After adding up the original price and comparing it to how much I paid, I only paid 20% of the original price for a pair of jeans, two pairs of pants, a polo shirt, and a button up shirt. Not bad. One pair of slacks though is wrinkled as shit when it comes out of the dryer and I don't know how to fix it. :|
I spent just about all of yesterday indoors, but it was kinda "productive," in a sense. I figured out some stuff; I made a ONE-HOUR mix; watched both movies I picked up on Friday night (Tokyo Zombie and Wings of Honneamise from the used store), and have played a bunch of Ico. I think I'm getting close to the end. Did a little grillin' too and got about way too many text messages.
SPEAKING OF THE MIX: Download Link (much better site)
It's about 60 mb (also is 65 minutes) and is interesting. ;) |

Haven't really been able to update much (same with Only Pussies Throw Fireballs) this past week. Work has been making me frustrated for the past week and I just don't want to do much of anything but veg when it's over. I did make an update on... Thursday or Wednesday though at the blog regarding Crest of the Stars. The next few entries will contain a few episodes in one entry leading up to a "why I like the show" post.
Finished Shadow of the Colossus last night. Will post about that on the blog too.
Lots of mixes I had been working on, need to really nail one and get it out there.

Nobody else has really said anything, but DAMN with today's news.
Michael Jackson was one of the formative members of my musical upbringing. My parents had "Thriller" and it was an album I came to appreciate as the years went on. When I was 5, my parents bought "Bad" on cassette for me and I played the shit out of it and then I got "Dangerous" when it came out and also played that into the ground. I still remember a Sunday evening after that album came out and the HUGE countdown on FOX to the "Remember the Time" video and me getting more and more antsy for it to premiere. The man was responsible for so much timeless music and is easily one of the most influential musicians and singers ever.
It sickens me that people want to make snide remarks about his personal life when the man has just passed away and left behind this amazing musical legacy. This should be a time to remember his impact and what he has meant to so many people.
RIP Michael

Let Us Dream of Tomorrow
by Michael Jackson
If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with. In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe. Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation. |

Close to finishing Crest of the Stars and I'm finally to the parts with Spoor, who is the greatest character in the show (sorry Nosey~) and I forgot how awesome Rica Fukami is in this role. I know she voices my favorite Sailor Senshi (from the main five--Sailor Venus), but damn, I wish she had more on her acting resume. :P
This whole going to Minneapolis thing is sounding shittier and shittier. I'm already feeling like I'm going to be third wheel, especially because I know I'm going to be getting pawned off/ditched on Saturday afternoon if I go (I guess they're going to her grandma's and she thought I was going to Pride, which.. besides the fact I've never said I was going, I don't even know how I would get there as she is driving). I haven't even confirmed that I was coming that weekend (just that I would rather go that weekend than over the Fourth and that I was leaning towards going, but not sure), but I'd look like a dick if I said "No, I'm not going," now. Whatever, I'm going to look like a dick and not be the third wheel again. |

As much as I love Shiina Ringo as a singer-songwriter, I love her work with Tokyo Jihen even more. With her "comeback" to a solo career coming next week in the forum of an all new album, I'm actually fantarding over that I know this means I won't get any new Tokyo Jihen for a while. :|
I have a few issues that I honestly would legitimately classify as OCD things, and not like a "oh, I have OCD, I wash my hands before I eat" like some people do. Don't get me wrong, the cleanliness thing is a big deal out of it, but I've gotten to a point where I can walk around the apartment (and even my parents place, but only in the past year) barefoot (although, usually only here, not at the parents) because this place is mine and I'm clean. So yesterday, at PRIDE, I sat on the grass/dirt ground for about 2 minutes which was... enough to handle and I'm surprised i even did. The weird thing is that sometimes the quirks just disappear and I think about it as an afterthought, but then something new tends to pop up. Anyway, imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning and saw that my closet wasn't closed. I haven't slept with my closet open since... I honestly don't know when. I've even gotten completely into bed and have tossed around for a 10-20 minutes only to wake up and see that my closet wasn't closed and I would get up to do it, go back into bed and then pass out. I'm wondering if this was also spurred by the fact that I didn't get into my bed from the left side (if standing at the foot of the bed) last night, as I have it moved right now from when maintenance was here the other day. So, two firsts after a long time of it not happening. I'm starting to wonder if these quirks are beginning to go away if anything.
I went to some of the PRIDE festival yesterday with starsmayshine on Saturday which was kind of a big deal concerning my views towards Pride and everything in general. THanks for letting me tag along. :) I have a lot of weird views towards the community in general and that actually helped. It is also fun to live in an area that's vocal (especially during Pride) in hating the shit out of you and wishing you were dead as well~ |

Today's entry of Crest of the Stars episode 2 is wordy to say the least. Check it out at Only Pussies Throw Fireballs.
A part of me is hoping to go to PRIDE before the weekend is up, but who knows. I texted one of my friends about going, but he said he wasn't the pride type, to which I replied that I wasn't either and I'm more into celebrating SHAME. :) It'll be tricky though with Mike being up this weekend and me having to go into work tomorrow and/or Sunday. Preferably tomorrow.
Oh yeah, Mike is coming up this weekend.
I'm thinking of going to Minneapolis next weekend for Mike and Katie's birthdays, even though I don't want to. I also have to drive back from GF on Friday back to Fargo to head down there. It'll be a busy weekend :| I now how much sitting around is going to happen though and how much I'm going to get shit on so that's what is holding me back from going.
Finishing up some more of my backlog with a show I'm indifferent about but paid the $7 to finish: Coyote Ragtime Show. I have a horrible habit of using my computer while watching things. Now it more depends on the show :P
Got my window looked at today; contractor has been contacted to look at it. Great. I've got this feeling I'm going to come home one day and see a giant hole in the wall and I'm just going to back out of the parking spot and drive somewhere else. |

First episode breakdown of Crest of the Stars is up at Only Pussies Throw Fireballs. Please read and tell a friend!
Sent back the KORG stuff today finally. Ugh, I feel like a burden is off of me though oddly enough; like I was limiting myself to that when really... I've become immensely inspired recently and know the musical direction I want to take now. Working on a new mix too.
Keaton's going to help me with resume stuff. Time to start applying, bitches! |

Little late today, but I updated Only Pussies Throw Fireballs with an entry that sets up the next series. I'm taking a break from Emma now that the first season is over, mostly because I want to change gears for a little bit.
Went out with coworkers for lunch, which isn't an often occurrence so it was nice. They think I should apply for the job that they do, but I don't want to say "No, because I plan on leaving soon." :| It would be a nice pay increase though if I did and got it :P I actually had to come home and sleep for a little bit today before going back to work. I was just so out of it that I was pretty much falling asleep at my desk. I ended up losing some of the work I did as we had our second power outage in two weeks now. I'm guessing this is going to be something that happens often unfortunately.
Fucking, Six Sentences hasn't replied to me about using a piece yet and they said it only takes 6 days for a response. It's been longer. :P |

Obligatory I made an update to Only Pussies Throw Fireballs with the last episode of the first season of Emma and a recap of my gaming weekend. In the past week, I've doubled my hits which... I'm fine with. I don't know how many are bots, but whatever.
Finished the second set of Kodocha last night and am semi-pissed there isn't more in the States (if only it would've sold). Especially since the next episode preview was in tact, that didn't help :| Rewatching Fate/Stay Night right now and the next show for the blog.
Returning the KORG shit I bought. *grumble*
Wonder if I can plan a last-minute LA trip... ^^; |

| new toys, game-in weekend |
[Jun. 11th, 2009|07:06 pm] |
I'm getting new visitors to Only Pussies Throw Fireballs every day this week which has been great. Breaking from Emma because I'm going to be having a GAME-IN this weekend in that... I plan on playing a lot of video games and bringing back The World's Worst Webcast and twittering shit while playing. Almost done with season 1 of Emma and then I go into the next show.
I may have to dedicate a post to the new toys I'm about to go pick up in a few minutes though. :D |

Updated Only Pussies Throw Fireballs just now. Check out episode 10; add me to your blogroll; tell a friend, whatever. I had about 50 hits since last night which was nice to see (put a plug up on the AOD blogs). Friday's post will most likely about my gaming weekend. I don't think Thursday's will be, but I don't know.
Up in GF for imouto's birthday. We're watching the first disc of HunterXHunter set 2. She talked my dad into getting a brisket and we had awesome brisket sandwiches.
Zach Morris is STILL fucking hot.
Work has been incredibly stressful-ish (well, for a person who doesn't get stressed easily, its saying a lot) and leaving me baffled by a number of people's actions. I hate reading about the economic state of California because it worries me about my plans to be able to get out there. Maybe I do need to consider schooling in Japan. :P hahah |

| Emma 09 is up |
[Jun. 9th, 2009|07:37 pm] |
Episode 9 is up at Only Pussies Throw Fireballs. If you like the blog, tell a friend. ALSO! This weekend, I'm going to game-in all weekend. Tomorrows post might be about it. JUst a reminder as I want people to join/harass me.
Roommate mentioned that one of his coworkers wants to live here when I leave and is ready to do so at a moment's notice. What that means is: I'm looking for jobs. As much as I'd like to randomly go to Japan to pan out (who knows....), I can at least seriously consider looking at this point. If I end up moving within the States, I'll most likely buy a car before I leave (well, I'd probably have to for a number of reasons--I doubt my current car would not only make it anywhere, but if I was living in LA, I'd need something to pass the smog check)
Been very lazy and tired recently. Going for a walk. |

I've updated Only Pussies Throw Fireballs with episode 8 of Emma. I had the write-up ready to go, so I felt I should post it. Also, it's a rather important episode within the series and it was the only way to do it justice. Truthfully, I like writing these episode deconstructions, but its hard to fit the time in to do it. I'm still going to do them (especially for what I consider to be important episodes), but otherwise, I think I'm going to try to do shorter recaps of a few episodes at a time. Or maybe, this deconstruction is what I need for most episodes. Too hard to really decide! :P
I've finished watching the first season; still need to prepare a few more write-ups about the rest of the episodes; analysis of content, etc; the music. I've narrowed the next show down to two (before going back to do the second season). I think I'm going to pick the shorter of the two and then go back to Emma and then do a one-shot or movie.
I'm really liking My Anime List that us Drifters are doing, because its a nice way to keep track of what I'm watching and it's nice to get a show off the list. I removed Murder Princess from the list last night and dropped Baldr Force EXE (thank god that one was free to watch).
I thought I was going to get fired today. What a horrible day of work. I'm still employed. Is anyone hiring? |
