Budgeting…

12Oct09

Not my forte, because I’m such a consumer whore. I have gotten a bit better. I tend to fight off the urge to buy something on their first day out.
Having said that, however. I intend to rush out the store and buy DRAKE’S FORTUNE 2 the day it drops. I’ve been waiting for this game to come out since I finished the first one last year/2 years go.

I think that was a really well put together game. The game play was good, the voice acting was good. The mo-cap…well, it’s mo-cap. I was scouring the net for games that had similar game play and the only result I found was GEARS OF WAR.

I seriously considered buying a 360 just so I could play that in the mean time. lol

So this Tuesday, I’m dropping another $70 for the game AND The new Conchords CD……

What AM I going to do with all this stuff???? lol

Another try?

12Oct09

Perhaps I should give this blogging business another go. I seem to pick up and then drop it again.

I marvel at people who update their blog everyday, sometimes every hour. How does that even work? Or is there just something wrong with me where I can’t be bothered to update my blog so often?

Or perhaps I should filter and write my blog out properly before I post it.

Who knows. I give. Screw you lot. lol

Kiss From a Mag….

06Aug09

No, not a new SEAL song….A magnet, to be precised.

When you receive a magnet kiss, that is a sign that you’re officially a stop-mo animator.

A Magnet Kiss is when 2 magnet discs slam together so quickly and with such force that your it pinches the skin on your fingers within its gaps.

The only way that I have managed to remove the magnets is to fling the magnets away. The downside to that is that when the magnets go flying, they usually take a good chunk of the pinched skin with it.

Painful as hell, and you feel completely caught off guard and silly when you receive one.

I got one today. I haven’t had one in at least a year. I miss that chunk of skin that’s now sitting on the floor of the studio I was in.

Stormy Weathers…

04Aug09

So there was some crazyass shit storm today in Ontario….tornado warning, heavy storm warning…I just figured, meh. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Boy, was I wrong. As Ryan and I walked to the car, we passed by a fallen nest. Probably blown down by the gusting winds. 3 dead baby birds lay in its proximity.

It’s odd. Usually things like that don’t affect me very much. But this time around, it seems to be aching at me. Poor bastards, they didn’t even have feathers yet….

On a lighter note….

Has the bootleggers finally lost?

04Aug09

So yesterday Ryan and I finally headed up to Pacific Mall. I haven’t been there for at least half a year and we’ve noticed quite a change in the stores inside.

For one, nobody’s selling English bootleg DVDs anymore. I’ve heard they’ve just been recently raided and I just figured they’d spring back.

But alas, that’s not the case. There was not a drop of English bootlegs to be found anywhere on the premises. And as Ryan noticed, there were policemen patrolling the halls of the mall.

I think I liked it better when P-mall was just a Chinese thing….after all the whities figured out that there were bootlegs to be had, they flocked there. And the vendors, seeing all the whities became bolder with their English movie displays…..and well, that always leads to trouble. haha

Odd, though, because it seems they’re still selling bootleg games. I guess one thing at a time? LOL

I ended up spending about $75 in total. Which is quite a feat. I seem to have reined in my shopping-ness a bit.

The thing that kinda pissed me off was that I saw a LESLIE CHEUNG collection and it had 3 songs that I’ve been looking for FOREVER on it. I couldn’t find a bootleg copy of it so I ended up buying it legit….for $30.

We ended up at another mall about 10 minutes later and guess what? Bootleg copies for $4. lol

Ah well. That’s how shit goes down with me, it seems. What can you do.

What…..the FLIP.

20May09

I’ve seen a lot of dumb shit on the interweb. But for some reason I’ve managed to avoid the train wreck that is Perez Hilton’s site…blog…or whatever the fuck that is.

That is, until today.

Like I said, I’ve seen a lot of dumb shit online, but this has got to be one of the most asinine ‘celebrity gossip’ site that I’ve ever had the displeasure of laying my eyes upon.

It felt like the site belonged to a mentally retarded 12 year old girl who is inhabiting the body of an idiot.

What’s the appeal? How can THIS make Perez Hilton a celebrity? Has The Simpsons taught us nothing?

“If you stop paying attention to the monsters, they’ll lose their powers.”

Apartment….

14May09

It’s odd. I miss having everything in 1 room.

Now I have a bedroom. And an ‘office’…where my computer sits.

I miss not being able to lie in bed and watch stuff on my computer. Ryan refuses to put any visual distraction in the bedroom.

“A bedroom is for sleeping. Not for leaving movies running on all night long.”, he says.

I see his point. But I’d still like the choice to be able to watch stuff/surf in the comfort of bed. lol

Now, if I’m in bed and I want to watch something. I have to haul ass to the other side of the place and sit in a pretty uncomfortable chair to do so.

Just a thought. lol

How very odd….so that’s what preggo-women feels like…..

24Apr09

SO. I had my first ultrasound EVER today. They’re trying to see if there are fatty deposits on my liver that may have hardened. I’m hoping I’ll be in the clear, but from the way things are headed. There’s a pretty slim chance of that happening…..I have yet to tell my parents…..

It was a bit strange. For some reason, I never equated MY ultrasound with preggo-ultrasounds….Imagine my surprise when I looked it up on Wiki. lol

The appointment was at 9:30 in the AM so I figured, instead of waking up way early then sitting through traffic, I’ll just stay over at the folks and get a 5 min drive to the hospital instead.

I didn’t tell my parents that I’m getting this done because, mainly, I didn’t want to be nagged about how my health is going to the shits becuase I didn’t listen to them, and all that jazz….I just told them that I have a doctor’s appointment. Thing is, he doesn’t open his clinic until 10 on a weekday….as my mom pointed out. I pretty much shrugged to every question they asked. I felt like I was in high school all over again. hahaha
