Not too much is going on. Its fall break this week...but I work the six am shift four of the days, so I don't even get to sleep in. hurray.
The big thing of the last little while was the anime banzai. A weekend long anime convention I went to in Layton. It was a lot of fun. Im not a huge fan of the panels, but I enjoyed just walking around and looking at other peoples costumes, and all the contests they had.
Not that I recognized most of the costumes. I don't watch anime really. But I recognized the ones dean always talked about, some anyway, and all the video game ones.
((There was an AMAZING Midna...I wish I got my pic with her...))
I dressed up in my Anakin, as that's still the only completed costume I have...
It took a bit of a beating by the end of the weekend. 12 hours a day for two days will do that too it. My feet still hurt. But the velcro....most of it has fallen off, and I need to get new strips and reattach them. And my lightsaber shroud broke...which still upsets me.
I mean, i've tossed that thing in the air and accidently dropped it on cement and its fine. But as I'm sitting at a panel, it falls off my belt, and lands on the floor six inches below it, and the shroud breaks into four pieces. I have to figure out if I can superglue those...
I hung out with the Mandalorian Mercs for the second day. I need to get my merc suit done. I just can't decide on a color scheme. Not to mention I've been lacking tools and I haven't really felt up to armor parties.
Anyway, they had some really cool trinkets at the anime banzai, but most all the stuff wasn't unique. By that I mean I could go online and find it to buy. So I didn't end up getting anything. Not that there was much that interested me, as I didn't know what half the stuff was.
There WAS a lot of gay porn type books/movies though. Guess that's big with anime.
((So very tired right now.))
I still feel a bit...apathetic when it comes to costuming right now. Especially with Anakin broken. Variety of reasons, most dealing with inadequacy. I just feel like i should quit for a while. I'm not sure. I just don't have the dedication right now.
So, I built a new computer. I don't have much of a good reason as to why apart from I want one, and I figure its a good long term investment for me. I did forget how much software such as microsoft office costs though. Oy. Still though. I'm happy
Named her Serenity, for a few reason. I like it.
But on the bright side, I have TF2 now, and I just need to find a chance to play it.
I should be starting my new job soon. Really excited. 12 bucks an hour, 30 hours a week? Yay! I'm still not positive what I'll be doing, but I know the goal is to help my professor with research/teaching a class, so I'm excited.I dropped my desk job hours to just an eight hour shift on monday....but that still puts me at 38 hours....I'm a bit nervous. Hopefully I can handle it.
But it'll be nice to not have three six am shifts....Those are killing me. I just can't get enough sleep.
Boondocks fun center has a deal called $12 tuesday. From 4-10 pm, 12 bucks gets you unlimited laser tag, arcade games, mini golf, and kiddie cove. Unfortunately I don't meet the 'under 48 inches' requirement for kiddie cove.
Gotta go with a big group last night though. Played a few rounds of laser tag, a lot of stupidly fun arcade games, and then went out to get Village Inn. Definitely a fun night, and would make for a fun tradition.
As soon as I can find a way to get it out here, I'll be buying my mom's old tracker. It'll be nice to have a vehicle...but suck to have to pay for insurance and licensing and whatnot.
I don't get why the HC opens at six am on fall break. The cafeteria doesn't open til 8, the convenience store til ten. I don't even think the shuttles run this early...I haven't seen them at least. Just seems like opening at 8 would be more logical....and mean I can sleep in.
It seems like I should be able to think of more that's happened. My brain seems to disagree with that.
Part of the problem is I don't remember what I've talked about or not. And I'm far to tired and lazy to check.
Got a letter from Ryan last night. It always makes me really happy. I also need a camera so I can post a pic of the candy he sent me. It made me laugh. Sounds like he's doing pretty well overall out there. I'm excited for swapping stories when he gets back.
Speaking of getting back, his brother Jake did this week. I got to talk to him a bit. Seems like he's still stuck in "Missionary Mode"....heh. He's going out with the local missionaries ASAP.
I want to find a way to rig up some PTK walkie talkies in all the helmeted characters in the garrison. Or in the mercs. Either way. It'd be awesome to have radio communication.
I wish that Dean could move out here and live with me. I miss all of my family a lot, but it'd be nice to have Dean to hang out with...Though I kinda wish they all just lived here. There have been days when I really just need to be around family and it sucks that I can't.
But such is life, eh?
Alright, I need to find a happy note to end this on, because I'm really not depressed.
There are a lot of events and troops coming up, but I'm really not sure if I'm going to go or not...Unless they need a spotter. Guess I'll see.
I think i'll go re-read Ryan's letter then write him back. That should cheer me up.
