Getting ready

So, when asking who isn't going to show up at work tomorrow (or I guess, today - yay swing-shift-past-midnight), my supervisor was also asking why.

I won the free excused absence with "My friend from high-school whom I have not seen for about 9 months is in town for a little while".

So, trying something new for holloween - as part of dressing up as a ghost, I am trying to bleach my hair. I will know in about ten minutes or so how well it is doing, I guess.

And trying to think of what to do for NaNoWriMo - too many small ideas, not enough fleshed out :/

Birthday survived

It was Mom's birthday, and she was nicely awed by the pegusi mare/foal statue I found for her (not a winged unicorn! :p) Actually planned that one out two months ago - a record for me. Good thing - it had to get special ordered in.

Of course, my sholder-top angel demands I pay for mom's dinner I got dragged to (previous post) so I am going to sneak some money into her checking account tomorrow/today.

Yummy Food and Fire

So, to celebrate about three different birthdays (one being my mother's), a big group of family/friends went to a restaurant called Shoji's - one of those Asian-style food places that makes a big show out of cooking your food in front of you.

And they will, in order to clean the grill with a flair, light alcohol spread onto the grill on fire. As in, they tell you to lean away if you like your eyebrows.

The little tyke with us, who is about a year and a half old, kept clapping at the fire, saying "fire" over and over, and other general signs of a pyro. He also got the most out of the entertainment, it seemed.

So dinner was fried rice (and the rice was the only thing that was put onto the grill already cooked), grilled veggies, and teriyaki chicken and even some cooked bean sprouts. A lot of all of it. Had a taste of the shrimp, and it was great. I want to go there again.

It's awesome if you get a chance to go there.

Super Smash Brothers

I can't wait.

I want it now!

This game just keeps getting more and more awesome.

To Do List & Observations

To Do:

• Actually use this blog.
• Disconnect the stereo, since I don't know how to undo the 1:30 turn on my brother put it on and refuses to undo, despite nobody every being home then.
• Plan out what I want to do for NaNoWriMo.
• Play the DS games I have bought.
• Play City of Heroes, since I have paid for six months of it.
• Get a non-swing shift job.

Observations:

• My family hates to check the mail.
• The dog is getting better at not meeting your eyes when you call him on the trash being everywhere.
• People can get real upset when they drive through a parking lot to use as a shortcut when you get in their way, trying to park your car. How dare I think I take precedence when I am not trespassing on private property.
