Mashing the 'Retry' button

Bored Bored Bored... -_-;; My first day off all week, and it kinda sucks because I have nothing to do. That's lame....lamesauce, as Jim would say. It's nice to not have to work though. Although, my boss asked if I wanted to come in today too. I probably would have said no anyways, but I told him I already have 40 hours for the week.

I've been apartment hunting on-line a bit today, and found....uhhh....I don't know. A few places, and parking sucks in SC. But I guess that's to be expected. The better prices are in places a bit further away, but I really want to be able to walk to class. It might not be able to be an option for me though. Oh, well...I guess it's better than not being there at all.

The con is also quickly approaching. I don't know what to expect of it. I'm not sure what I'm really looking forward to either. I don't know who is going >.<; I guess I'm just really looking foward to the costumes. It's really great to see what people can do.

FlyFF was supposed to have some big-ass update, but the servers can't handle the load from all the people trying to check it out, I guess. I just sit here and hit the retry button while I do other things. That's how bored I am. So, I guess I get shafted on seeing all the changes. Oh, some well. I guess I'm just gonna try to burn some shtuff to free up some space on my computer.

The only thing this down time is letting me do is write more of my story, but it seems like it is going kind of slow right now. I think I just don't really have this transitional part thought out, but I have some of what comes after it thought out. poo Aight, I'm out for now.

妊婦みたい。。。

In hiragana that = にんぷみたい。。。 in case you want to try looking it up. But Babblefish does not translate it correctly. It uses mitai as 見たい and not みたい,...there is a difference.



What is this? This a picture of Chris zoning out after a stressful day. Losing motivation at life. Doesn't it look like it's just draining out of me? I think I can almost see it happening even though it's just a picture. I think that's the same zombie-Chris expression I have at work everyday. >.<;; Seriously, I don't understand myself lately. I am like a pregnant woman. Mood changing insanity. Sunday life was the greatest gift under the sun and I felt so alive and happy to be in existance. Like I could take on the world!! Today I hated life and wished my existance would be wiped from the face of the earth. Then I went back to being okay. Now I am just in some state of indifference. Then I start to wonder if I'm bipolar or something. I don't want to be bipolar. But I don't think that is really the case either, because I'm not like this all the time. Just over the summer. I'm never like this at school. Ah, the summer makes me all sorts of crazy...

Another thought: Is it so wrong to pursue happiness in life instead of occupation? I don't think so.... I'll leave on that note. 

Slacker at My Blog >.>...

So, recently I bought a new camera. It was a sweet deal, because I've been looking at it for months trying to find the place that sold it at the lowest price. It was really coming down to the wire for when I needed it, so I just caved and bought it at Target. After all, after my discount it wasn't that far off from any online store after shipping costs. So I ended up getting it cheaper than any online store because there was mistakenly a clearance sticker on all the boxes of this particular camera. So I got it at the clearance price. I checked on the cameras a few days later...and all the clearance stickers were gone ;_;. Poor those that missed out. -- or -- Chris can sometimes be the ultimate lucky bastard.



Of course I wanted to play with my new toy. So I took some pictures. Here is me, trying out a new look with some facial hair. Courtney was intrigued...and never sees me anyways, so I got to grow it. When I got to Pittsburgh, it had to go. She did not approve. I thought I looked funny without it. But I'm used to not having it anymore, again.




I was playing with the cool advanced features of my camera. This picture was me using my artistic talent to try to make something cool. >.>... I think it looks neet. I don't care what anyone else thinks TT.TT




He is Chuck and Scooter. Chucks loves Scooter so much. Scooter was romping around in Chuck's bed...but just got hair everywhere doing some weird erratic movements on the mattress (not humping movements >.<;;).

We went to SandCastle, which is a waterpark around Pittsburgh. It was cool, for a little. I don't know...I think I just get bored with water quickly. Especially when I get cold. And I think the food there made me get all sick. ;_; After that, we went to Dave & Busters. We had to make Courtney lie to get in....and she almost blew it. But we made it in. It's like the greatest place on earth. Like a grown-up Chuckee Cheeses (however you spell it). I got to play House of the Dead 4 with Courtney and Chuck, but we ended up playing a lot of token games. In the end, Chuck ended up using tickets to buy this ridiculous Airzooka thing >.<;; But I guess we had some fun with it. Its ability to shoot air was really quite amazing.

The next day Courtney treated Chuck and Me to dinner at a Japanese/Chinese restaurant and I finally got to try Asahi. It was good! ...and $3.50 a bottle, so I couldn't buy more to take home. I thought I should take a picture to remember it with.







Then Chuck and I drove back from Pittsburgh and took a detour to Columbia to pick up some stuff from Chuck's apartment. I got to sit down with his badass drums. Those things are some sweet shiznat and are really amazing. So I decided to take a picture of them too.


In the end, I don't think I got to take as many pictures as I really wanted to. I was sad about that. But I'm excited to use my camera at Otakon. That should totally make it worth it. I was sad that I didn't have a camera last year to take pictures of all the cool shiz.

Haruhi Suzumiya

I was watching this series called The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. At first it was a little weird and out there.


But then it got more weird and out there. So, I started to get more interested. I thought it was gonna end up making me have to think a lot about what it was going to unfold in its story.


It was complicated, but not as complicated as I thought it would be. I'm sure there may also be some more complex, underlying meaning in it...but I don't want to think about it.


But I did like the enthusiasm of Haruhi to choose the school's hottest girl as the mascot for her club....and parade her around in different outfits to attract people to the club.


She even went as far as stripping her down and changing her clothes for her. Or maybe I just liked the outfits. This particular character was a time traveler...but for some reason her future self came back to visit and it made me think of Onegai Sensei.
