So the filler ended again and Bleach did a nice little Omake that recognized the fact that the filler made no freaking sense what-so-ever. They even pointed out how pointless the filler arc was. I'm glad they're finally making note of it.

The though occurs to me that I wonder when I will grow out of animu. I know I will never stop liking Dungeons and Dragons, and I've already lost my love of video games. Even now, when I say that I'm into anime most people who know what it is laugh. But I'm still quite interested.
Bleach actually managed to make a plot twist that was surprising. Though that's in part because it was a copy of how shocking it was when Aizen turned out to be the evil mastermind. Anyway, at least the filler will over soon... he-he-he-he.... of course they will...
Started watching Soul Eater. I never watched it before because it seemed much too cartoony, like how Jing was, but the first episode managed to keep me interested so I'm going to go till I lose interest. I also watched the first episode of Katekyo Hitman Reborn, because apparently that's the best thing since FMA, but it's been friggin weird and rather unentertaining. Considering sticking with it simply because I have nothing else.

You know I haven't done a real update since I got here!
My class are going well. The professors of "Introduction to Mass Media" want us all to have the UPDATED fifth edition (just call it 6th already) of the textbook, but neither of the bookstores have it, and I can't even find it on e-boo. I think I'm just going to have to deal with this one, because even if i find it, I lost the receipt so I only get the sell back price for my other book.
My psychology professor is Mr Gasper, if you made him less angry. He's practically the same person. They look and sound a like, they both have a huge disdain for technology and prefer using the old method, they both constantly talk about the differences between college and high school, they both think that THEIR personal set of the notes are best thing since sliced bread, and they're both very sarcastic. I swear if this professor says "M'kay?" at any time I'm going to go for a Scooby Doo type mask-pull-off.
In Math For Liberal arts the people behind me were talking through the whole thing. They were all "This is so easy. This is retarded. I can't believe they think this is hard." I really wanted to turn around and be like "It's the first day of /MATH FOR LIBERAL ARTS/. What did you expect? Advanced calculus?" but an evil glare worked just as well. I also don't understand why they sat in the front section. I thought it was unofficially reserved for people who want to pay attention.
I found out that JACT is actually still active! They have an officer meeting this Saturday that "everyone's welcome to come to" - which translates to I'm going to crash it. Apparently they're deciding which series they're watching this year so I definitely want to be there.
I've set up all my classes in this program called Microsoft One Note that came with my Microsoft Student Suite. It really appeals to my sense of organization; I have all my classes laid out, though I only have one page of notes right now XD
It's both Stephen and my mom's birthdays today.
My only class today is at 2:00 so I should get ready even though it's right across the green. Yay college!

Gosh I keep forgetting to update this. I'll have to do it tomorrow, cause my roomates have to get up early and they want to go to sleep.
I just want to say that I'm a total dunce. I didn't realise that Aya Hirano is both the voice for Konata from Lucky Star and Haruhi Suzumia. They kept making references and when Konata cosplays as Haruhi I finally went "Wow that actress is really good at that. Let's look it up."
In other news JACT is no where to be found. They weren't at the club meeting and I haven't gotten any news back from their website or facebook sight. I refuse to think that something so awesome disband two months after I got here, but I'm running out of alternate reasons...

Naruto filler has ended again, though I obviously it's never for long. They wrote Sora out of the story by sending him "traveling". Now Hidan is showing up again.

Tomorrow (or more accurately, today) is packing day. I have to gather up everything and put it in boxes; and get rid of the things I don't want any more. It's going to be a big job! I think it'll take all day.
My car has been over-heating after SHORT trips now too. And I just pours coolant in it. Sort of glad my parents are thinking of selling it, but that means I'm going to be stranded when I get home. I think there's something wrong with my bike, because the axle around which the chain spins is bent, but it's too late to do anything about it now. I mean it felt rather hard to ride when I was on it last, but that might have been due to the fact that I'm really out of shape.
Still don't have any printer ink ordered, and Rachel hasn't been able to send off the L Word because the payment is still processing through Pay Pal. I hope I'll be able to get that out of the way before I leave because I'd hate for her to forget and for my e-bay account to get black marked or something.
Tomorrow will be the last day that I'll have my own room for at least a year, because when I come home I'm fairly certain they're going to shove me in with Andy since Rachel is older and female.
Said my good-bye's to Cody today. Wasn't quite as dramatic as I imagined. I'm gonna miss him.

Because my brain is fried and I don't want to talk about spilling cheese, I give you these:
Apparently the Mexican version has 3 Mexican Pop Culture jokes like how James says Jamemamas.

Yeah so I'm still mad that my brother sold all my videogames all that time ago, just especially now. I went to go grab Prince of Persia (one of the most awesome Gamecube games out there) to play it again and then realized that it's still quite gone. And further, what gave my brother the right to sell all the games that I BOUGHT?!?!
Rawr... Anger face.

The Sword of Truth Audiobooks keep raping my ears. Every time I get used to a new narrator, I finish that book and the next one switches. And now the monotone guy from book 1 has wandered back in and wants my ear and it just feels wrong. I must say though, he's better than pronounces-everything-wrong guy from the last book.

I made a pan of chili-cheese nachos and brought them to Mage. No one else ended up having any of them, which sort of disappointed me, but they were delicious. Definitely adding that recipe to the good list.
Right now I got TV on the mind, cause I found out a few things
-Heroes is coming back September 22nd. Hooray! The only series I watch religiously.
-Both Junjou Romantica and Vampire Knight are scheduled to start up again some time in October.
-Legend of the Seeker, which is the Sword of Truth live-action TV series premiers on November 1st.
Till then I have to watch Lucky Star, D.Gray-man, and filler episodes of Naruto/Bleach to keep me entertained. Damn...
Last day of work at AMC tomorrow.

The weekend at the cabin went over well. There was much football, BB Gun Shooting, Cranium, and other board games. It made me realize how good I am at Charades. It was rather frustrating sleeping next to Andy again. The food was amazing! I never got to say thanks to Ms. Signore because I left early, but oh well.
Eagle Ceremony went off without a hitch. Much fun was had and afterward we went back to my house and played video games. Chelsea helped me start selling my textbooks on eBay!
I'm trying to keep track of who has RSVP'ed for the party and who hasn't. No one actually calls to RSVP, they just tell me in person so I forget about it. So far I think I've gathered that Roland, Chelsea, Kory, Cody, and Brian can definitely make it and Andy, Stephen, and Zac definitely cannot. I think I might have to call the rest and ask, because for the life of me I dunno who has spoken to me and who hasn't.
As far as the party goes
-I've got a banner, though I need to put that together when the party gets closer
-I've got FSU plates, cups, and napkins (and normal versions of those for when the others run out.
-I got the giant dice for decorations
-I think I want a table cloth. I'm pretty sure we have one around here
-I'm ordering balloons the day before
-I'm looking into order a sandwich tray. Not sure how far in advance you need to get those, but I'm going to find out tomorrow.
-I've spoken briefly to my sister about the cake, we need to talk more in-depth
-I've got a vaguely assembled set of video games coming in from various people. I want to call and make sure we've got a Wii and 4 controllers coming. I have the Game Cube with Super Smash, Mario Party, and Super Monkey Ball and 4 controllers as a back-up.
-I've got Apples to Apples
-I want to see if they sell sets of cards for Charades with things written on them. Because when you have people just think of them they come out retarded.
-I doubt we'll go in the pool since I didn't tell anyone to bring suits (and I hate being shirtless >_< ).
-I still need to collect music
-Cleaning the house can wait until it gets closer, because it'll get trashed anyway
I need to stop burning through money like I do. I'm cool with spending for fun, but I buy way too much. Vaguely related is the fact that I've gained 10 pounds because I've been eating nothing but too much junk food. I need to work on both of those.
Work has me On Call on Wednesday AGAIN! What the hell!?!? I can't decide whether to find someone to take it or just refuse to come in if called (See Also: The "What are they gonna do, Fire me?" philosophy).
15 Days! That's 2 Wednesdays and 2 Mondays
I'm going to officially start the packing tomorrow by going through my RPG stuff and seeing what I want to keep and what I want to give/throw away. I have cardboard boxes, time to start filling them.

The first of two Mage games at Kory's house was today. His mouse wasn't able to click (Though he INSISTED it did), and his dog wouldn't leave me alone for some reason. Not Cody or Orlando, just me. I don't really like dogs, though they're fun in small doses.
Then was the Criss Angel thing. There were SOOOO many people. We eventually found a parking space in this condo lot that was being guarded by the old residents, but we came in on the other side and left the car quietly. All was good! I found out quickly that I really should have worn real shoes, because flip flops are not designed for long walks and my feet are blistered.
The event was fun, though the fools had this bright light shining directly in our eyes. I'm not sure exactly what the illusion was supposed to be, because the fact that he "teleported" down to the ground when he missed helicopter was easily explained by the fact that only thing showing him running up the stairs was the video screen footage, which could have easily been pre-recorded. Anyway, watching a few thousand tons of concrete fall in person was rather spectacular. We went into a little mom and pop ice cream/sushi/hot dog shop and chilled for a while for long enough that we thought most of the crowd would have left...
...oh god were we wrong. This was by far the worst traffic I've ever been in. The event ended at 11, we got back to the car at 11:30. I ended up getting home at 2:00 in the morning. The traffic moved about one quarter of a mile each hour through many 20 minute stops. People were getting out and hanging out while they waited for any motion. Eventually Chelsea and Roland feel asleep and the rest of us just decided to continue our game of Mage while we waited in this stationary line. It was interesting to DM and Drive at the same time. Even once we left the traffic I kept DMing. We made it halfway back to Kory's before I remembered Chelsea and Roland were still in the car and had to turn around.
But anyway, it was fun and we had some extended Car RPG's. Remember Kids: Arrive Alive, Don't DM and Drive!

The majority of the commercials I've seen were either for weight-loss programs/food or birth control. Obviously it's aimed at women. Further, the women are beautiful, but smartly dressed instead of scantily clad.
Paula from Southern cooking is noticeably southern. Though not fat, she's not skinny and she has a very southern haircut. Obviously meant to appeal to the south. And her kitchen is wooden with lots of pots hanging around.
Chick from 30 minute meals wears dressy casual clothing and jewelry and a decent amount of make-up and is obviously meant to look like a working mom. Her kitchen looks like a normal house.
Then there's Rachel Ray who always seems to wear something V necked which shows off the top part of her cleavage. Not to say she looks slutty or anything, far from it. She just looks more young and hip. Her kitchen is all contemporary with sliding cabinets and odd shaped drawers.
A woman who's hot, shows off her cleavage, and cooks amazingly. Where do these woman hide?

Does no one post anymore? All the people I watch last posted on July 4th by some bizarre coincidence. Unless Live Journal shut down on that day and I didn't get the memo?
Holy Crap, I put in my two weeks for AMC yesterday meaning I'm going to be unemployed on the 8th. Though I'm excited about being job-less, I'm sad to leave AMC after 2 years.
Holy Mosese, I've decided I'm throwing myself a going away party before I leave for Tallahassee. I've tentatively scheduled it for the 16th which is the Saturday 4 days before I leave. I haven't planned a real party in so long I don't even know! I suppose I'll have to get invitations and figure out activities and such. Other than normal party mingling ect ect. I figure I have Alex's boombox OR my parents crazy jukebox monolith thinger for party music, I can borrow Kory's Wii (since he'll be there or suffer my wrath) for Super Smash Bros Brawl and SUPER MONKEY BALL (I need to unlock the rest of those great party games!!!!, I have Apples to Apples, and there's always the pool. As far as food there's always the great stand-by of pizza, but i think I want to get a sandwich tray as well. Oh and CAKE! I'm going to ask my sister to bake one of her awesome cakes. Maybe like the one at the end of Portal? I am going to get working as much as I can tomorrow because it's only 3 weeks away. If nothing else I'm going to get the invitations done.
Holy crap I think I've officially gotten myself excited. This should be one to remember (Hopefully)
Holy Moses Eagle Ceremony is set for a week from today. Freakin' out man. I'm almost done with the script, but I'll need to do that tomorrow as well. It looks like I'm waking up early either for this or church...
Holy Crap Holy Crap Holy Crap suddenly everything's happening at once. I figure I should still be able to make it to Stephens cabin as long as I leave early Sunday morning and I'll be back with a few hours to spare before the ceremony.
Sleep Now. More planning tomorrow during that place they drag me to every Sunday morning where I have to sit, stand, and kneel while my bleary eyes try to comprehend why everyone's singing. I'm glad they still gave me money because my parents are nice. Because I'm sure everyone who knows me in that parish thinks I'm a horrible rude bastard because I can't manage to get my face out of a scowl.
