I’ve broken the 10,000 word threshold with my novel. I’ve never written this much of a single story before and it’s awesome. I more or less know where I’m going with it and I’m largely pleased with my writing so far. No, it’s not publishable quality, but I wasn’t expecting it [...]

Sweet. I am rockin and rollin’. Actually that’s a cover up, but my true emotions are a well guarded secret that only the characters in my NaNoWriMo story know about. I’m pumping them full of feeling, sapped from my real life wants, desires, hates, fears, and fantasies. It’s awesome, Novel writing [...]
Gundam versus Godzilla

In an effort to create interesting decor for my apartment I had decided to purchase a godzilla toy and eventually a gundam model to fight each other in my bathroom. I already had the godzilla for a while and I finished putting together the Gundam today. Their poses will change, sometimes Godzilla will [...]

I re-arranged my apartment quite a bit. It’s so much better now. Still needs a bit of decorating but it just generally makes more sense now than it did before. When I’m done re-arranging I’ll post pictures. Instead of making my main room a forest, I think I’m just going to [...]

The Drain of Death
I’m having trouble keeping my apartment clean, but I have fantastic and simultaneously disgusting news. The drain in my shower that has been clogged and flooding since they day I moved in finally declogged all at once. I’ve been putting tons of chemicals into it that are supposed to clean [...]
Surfing

That’s another thing checked off of my life to do list. Surfing’s pretty fun. I dunno if I could get into the whole surfing lifestyle thing, but it’s definitely a nice weekend escape. I think I’ll go ahead and buy a used board for when I want to go.
We went to Irino [...]

I like getting paid. It means I can buy things. For example, I’m going to buy my very first video camera soon! It’s actually good that I’m buying it sooner rather than later because if I waited I would certainly spend more money that I would have saved up. Whereas now, [...]

Muahahahaha… MUAHAHAHAHA. 2 months of searching has rewarded me with the holy fuckin’ grail. I found a gym with free weights. A real squat rack, bench, dumbells, etc. It even has full area bumper mats if I want to do power cleans. Plus a pullup bar! All for how [...]
Bruschetta

I made some awesome bruschetta earlier today, sort of based on a recipe that I found from google. I took 1 big tomato finely chopped, 1 clove of garlic finely minced, 1/4th of a jalapeno pepper finely chopped, a little bit of balsamic vinegar, a little bit more olive oil (I don’t measure), salt, pepper, [...]

This is I believe the first birthday where I have felt different. I can now legally purchase and imbibe alcohol. I havn’t yet done so, and it still feels good .
