UPDATEUPDATEUPDATEUPDATE

updateupdateupdateupdate

Annabel is here with me right now, and we’re basically just being lazy bums and hanging out when we feel like it.  That and she’s doing some extensive forum work while I’m reading two (rather popular) programming books back and forth: Effective C++, Third Edition by Meyers, and The Pragmatic Programmer by Hunt and Thomas.  Additionally, the second book is a pretty smooth read, so it’s easy to go through one chapter and retain it well.

I got my ears pierced for the first time, at age 21.  Hooray.

Met some new people at a few tea places.  There’s a pretty decent tea room called Queen Mary, in Seattle.  Probably will take Audrey there if she ever comes back up here. ( ・∀・)

What else.  Oh, right.  I got a Samsung Epic that I’m about to pick up in like..an hour and a half.  That’s pretty exciting.  Meeting two teams tomorrow with a professor, doing volunteer work at school, getting paperwork done to be the school receptionist for a few hours during the week.  Talked to a few international students today; a lot of them were Korean.  There were girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah, that’s kind of amazing.  (so I might be able to hang out with them without guys swamping them??  maybe.)

I got a new roommate.  She’s quiet, picks up cues, receptive and respectful.  I like that.  Also, she’s a bonafide gamer. (thank you God)–also, she has a HL edition 360 (and it kind of looks amazing.)  rage I want the Halo Reach one even more now.

That’s it.  I’m excited for FF14.  Okay, now that’s it.

The best Buono! song, probably.

Or at least my favorite?  Yeah.

Dealing with plans

dealing-with-plans

I’m pretty sure that when I suggest doing something that I specifically want to do, it feels like people just click and don’t want to do things with me anymore.

Kind of annoying.  I’ve realized I don’t have patience for that kind of thing anymore.

What’s so hard about doing something you don’t want to do with someone?  Just because it’s something you’re not used to, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it with a friend.

And I’m not talking about weird stuff, either?

Sometimes it even comes down to dumb stuff, like me having to micromanage your interests (some are more ridiculous than others.)  Because once I hear “hmm..” or “ehh..” to my answer, I have to do 20 questions in order for you to be okay.

I’m actually really not okay with that anymore.

LA is going to be a much quieter place to me when I come back.

pride & prejudice was not her best book

but I saw this on heysusy and had to repost.

still probably one of the best scenes in that book.

Therapeutic songs

I linked In B Flat 2.0 on Twitter because I was reminded of it when I played these two videos together:

// EDIT: You may need to tone down afro medusa’s stuff a bit to hear the waves play through.  On another note, dance music is dying.

Talk about arcadey..

It looks addicting though; just not very classic CoD.

I was going to talk about

i-was-going-to-talk-about

all my awesome adventures at AX, California Arts & Sciences, and California Extreme, but..

..I’ll save that for another post.

I guess I feel pretty ridiculous right now.  Kind of frustrated, kind of beating myself up, kind of wondering and getting too curious.

Asking myself what tomorrow really is, what people really meant today.  Everything meshes into a single blob of terror.

Maybe it meant that people really care.  I would like to hope for that.

And at the same time, it makes things a little complicated..

I wish I knew what was going on.

AX 2010 Aftermath

I had a day off today for the 4th of July weekend.  pic time ☆

santana row ! I’ve talked about this place before.  this is a minor
plaza area.

I visited this tea shop.  it’s korean-influenced, and
I picked out a tea to ship to annabel. (:

I brought back home some coffee drinks & cakes for me & my parents~

Reviews/Upcoming Events

reviewsupcoming-events

So, I figured I’d list the things that are going to be happening in the next few months to clear my head.  I have a rough idea of where to take Jenn/Audrey, though, but most of it isn’t in this outline.  (And no one cares about Hokan, because he was lame and didn’t come watch the SHnY movie with me..cough.)

If you guys have anything you want to do specifically, let me know!

Big Events

Anime Expo - Seems like we’re doing this one again, and I don’t regret going.  Since I’m not cosplaying this year, it seems much more free to just reeeelaaax.  Sounds like more of just hanging out with people than purely con stuff, and I can see Audrey and I going to miscellaneous places during the 1-4.

PAX - First time that I’m going.  I haven’t signed up for it yet, but everyone’s kind of telling me to go.  So..looks like I’m going.

Distant Worlds, SF – Dave’s coming!  And I have high hopes for the SF Symphony, especially since I haven’t heard them before.  The Seattle Symphony was…underwhelming.

Places in San Jose/SF

I’ve been getting this question a lot lately, but seriously guys, I don’t go anywhere! :V  Usually I’m way too tired to go out after work, but weekends have been much more forgiving to let me go places.

Lisa Tea Treasures - Actually, I’ve already gone here for tea time.  It’s a pretty cute place, very girly, and their food is rather good.  Prices are mid-range for a tea room, a regular set being ~$24.

California Academy of Sciences (Aquarium) – This has been on the radar this week, but I may not be visiting until two weeks later.  Seems like the co-workers are in agreement that it’s worth going to at least once, even if it’s a little pricier than other aquariums.

Santana Row - Open shopping area very reminiscent to Disneyland’s Main Street.  Has a slew of brand shops, a resident Pinkberry, and some decent looking restaurants.  Only ~5 minutes away, and it’s probably one of the better (if not the best) upscale mall areas you’ll find nearby.

Now I seriously need Audrey around so we can find an awesome Karaoke place..
