Bizet- Carmen suite # 2 |

So class is going swimmingly, infact it's going so well that I'm acing my classes and the teachers don't really care if I show or not, just so long as I turn everything in.
Me and Erin are doing just great, nothing major there, we're just being nice and lovey dovey.
We've been speed watching bleach, we've finished naruto (more or less) watching a bunch of movies (too numerous to list) We've watched most of battle star, chef, all of red dwarf, all the new doctor who stuff, torchwood, all of coupling, up to like season 3 of the xfiles, some outer limits, and others. Every ufc so far (yah she doesn't mind watching ufc! rock)
I feel bad today though. In our tai chi class we had some special demonstrators in and they asked for volunteers to do counter holds with. Guess who they picked. And guess which move? Thats right. Me and Full Nelsons. People who know me know I have a history with full nelsons that goes back to a fun story with how I tore my ear in half, but still kept the full nelson going and nearly broke the guys arms.
Well either way, I nearly broke the demonstrators arm, and it ended with them tapping out, I felt bad because I left a knot on them, they didn't get to show the counter hold and I sorta humiliated them. It's not a good feeling but I have a feeling that they would have known if I let go as well.

Not a whole lot has been going on lately. I went to see the blue man group on sunday, and that was pretty fun. I've been playing a lot of this avalon hill release game called "Betrayal at house on the hill", I like it alot because its cooperative until certain conditions are met, and once that happens on of the players becomes the bad guy, but no one knows ahead of time who it might be.
College has been going swimmingly, though my computer classes have been so easy I fight to stay awake, and to try to find something to occupy my time with. I'm expecting all aces again this semester. You can see some of the stuff I designed *really crappy stuff btw* with the following links.
The richland gaming website actually has a nice forum too. So feel free to join even if you don't go to richland. I think my gpa will be up to like 2.6 or so after this semester, and then I've just got like 3 more classes to retake.
Peace.

Sorry about the long post intermissions, I'm back in college, so I've been working hard some more. I'm taking Intro to Multimedia over, webdesign, and tai chi. Our tai chi teacher is a bit nutty, like saying that tai chi can cure cancer, aids, asthma, it just depends on how hard you work at it. I'm not sure how far it can go, but I know not that far. Either way I've been doing really well in my classes, so it looks like I'm going to be just fine this semester.
Take care everyone, and if you're curious about any part of my life I havent mentioned, give me a shout.

10 things I love for no reason
taking this from a friend's page
1. Sitting on top of really high buildings
2. The wind
3. Hot tubs
4. Video Games
5. Fixing computers
6. Watching the Sunrise
7. Watching the Sunset
8. Camping
9. Reading stories out loud, and being read to
10. Toy Fox Terriers
1. If you could suddenly speak one language fluently (that you don't currently speak) what would it be?
Japanese so I would be able to translate my own anime and like read or something while watching.
2. If you were to suggest a foreign film, that you really enjoyed, what one would you suggest?
Run Lola Run, and The Experiment. Both are good in their own rights. Ones about a girl who has to save her boyfriend, and has a awesome techno track, the other is about a group of people that volunteer for a project to become inmates and prison guards respectively, and see how long the system can be kept up. Very good psychological film.
3. If you had to call another country home (other than the one you currently live in) what one would you choose?
Canada, or Ireland.
4. If you went out to buy an import music CD, what one would you buy?
Chumbawumba
5. If you were to chose an ethnic dinner, what would it be?
Indian

You guys are mean, hehe, saying I won't update for another 4 months. Given my track record, I understand lol.
So we've been doing a bunch of stuff lately, watched quite a few more movies. blockbuster must be getting sick of seeing me. We're thinking about getting a Wii at some point. We've been gaming up at el centro too, its pretty cool. Me and Erin are both playing Gnomes, and thats cool.
Also I did make a big decision, over the next few years I'm going to be losing weight, and finishing my associates so I can go into the air force, if I can get my associates I'll be able to go in as a e2 or e3, and I'll enlist first, and become a officer later. The plan is to put the bonuses straight into savings, and all the money I'm saving on housing and food, straight into savings as well.
I'm open to comments, my asthma is getting better so I anticipate it won't be a problem once I get there. I'm thinking about going into computer repair there.

Well we've been keeping it pretty quite, but I am dating this lovely woman Erin, for a bit now. We did some awesome things recently. We got free tickets to see, GhostRider, The Number 23, Eragon ( awhile back) and such, we saw Corteo (new cirque du soliel) last friday, went to the Dallas Zoo last monday, and all sorts of good stuff. I'm very happy being with her.
Click here to see her!
She's fun and works at a game store, games with me, and lots of other stuff. You can send me emails or ask me about other stuff. School has been going good. Class is boring. I'm in it right now, watching the teacher as he talks to me. I'm going to go braindead if this class lasts much longer. A entire day to cover a chapter that is 10 pages long, about a topic that is becoming outdated, but is so simple even then that it's not problematic bah.
Anyways I'll catch everyone later.

Hey everyone long time no update. Just letting everyone know I am alive and in college. Hehe, I am attending richland this semester, I have a speech and A+ class. In fact thats where I'm at right now... though I have to tell you, the hardest part of this class will be not falling asleep. I've gone over all the information being taught in this course, but unfortunatly it's a pre-req for all the other tech classes I want to take. I guess I'll have to deal with it.
Btw, watch torchwood, and doctor who. Good stuff.
Oh and good stuff is happening soon. More information later, XERO is back up. Look for it online.

| What's worth watching in Anime |
[25 Nov 2006|06:02pm] |

Everyone has different tastes in Anime, so I'll do my best to give a general rundown of each series rather than saying go watch this.
Also, I've just started watching Torchwood... part of the new doctor who stuff, its great.

Heya everyone, sorry about keeping the last post up so long.
Well as someone asked about christmas plans, right now if I get a job before christmas I'll be working, mom and chris are definatly going up to kansas for christmas, so I may be either going with or working dunno which.
I've pretty much worked past all the bad stuff associated with last entry, but I guess thats me, I always seem to bounce back pretty fast.
currently mom, chris, and I, are up to date in the following anime series : Slayers, Evangelion ( even the movies), RahXephon, Sousieo No Aquarion, Naruto ( all 210 episodes of it so far), Bleach ( all 103 so far), Grenadier ( gasp mom actually loved this series, even though it was a whole lot of fan service), Elven Lied (yes mom watched this one too), Mahou Sensei Negima, Fooley Cooley, Shamanic Princess, re: Cutey Honey, and Karin ( one of our personal favorite, who doens't love reverse vampires).
We're currently working on: Full metal panic, full metal alchemist, starship operators, azumanga daioh, and more to come soon.
Series we've watched: Dr. Who, complete first and second new seasons (had it before sci fi showed the first season), FireFly, Dead like me, Macguyver series 1, red dwarf, blake's seven, most of babylon five, and various other shows, too numerous to mention.
Series we are watching for: Waiting for the third season of the new doctor who stuff this christmas, macguyver series 2-5 ( which I have on dvd), Battlestar gallatica, UFC ... (well thats me not them) and that about covers it. They really like the new heros show, I'm kind of undecided on it.
Any questions about any of the anime, or shows I've listed will be answered to the best of my abilities : ) That being said, how is everyone else doing, responses are necessary ! : )

All the rain lately has kept me and friends inside a bit more, we've been having a few issues with out gaming group lately, but nothing we can't solve. Stuff is getting really stressful with halloween fast approaching and still many more things needing to be done, and to top it all off tonight I come home to probably the most devastating thing I could go through.
Puppy lying on the ground dead.
As far as I can tell he got his head stuck in a pringles can and fell down the stairs. From the body position I assume he broke his neck during the fall and was dead before he hit the ground. I'm really numb at the moment, so I can't think of all those witty things to say to a dog going out the hard way, aside from I hope he finds a whole bunch of awesome toys and fields to play in wherever he's at.
this dog has been with me for awhile, I trained him well, and he loved everyone. He was very well behaved except for digging in the trash a bunch. Very quiet and well mannered. He will be sorely missed. And I'm not going to smile much for the next few weeks. I'll get over it I'm sure its just hard right now to think of any good side to this situation.
Good night everyone, sorry for depressing news. I'll try to get better about that.

Game is going alright, we've had some snags here and there but we might accept one more but we're good at the moment, we've been playing decent the board game, and some normal games in addition to a all catfolk campaign that started recently.
In other news, life is fairly normal and the same, not alot of diversity aside from meeting a few new friends and hanging out alot.

I've got another Idea, rather than hit the movie tavern, I can also download it and we can watch it on a day whenever people would be free. Questions, comments, anyone want a mint?
