Everyone is doing relatively well bonus came in on Thursday one of the computers is now alive again, but windows XP is currently locked in Ariel's laptop's disk drive went to Brandon to see a movie with the missus and the kids which worked out relatively well
I'm thinking I might just switch to freewebs and delete this entirely as there is only so much one can do with blogspot.
Started looking at hotels for ai-kon (July 24-26) and so far, the Delta is the forerunner for the winner. It's connected to the convention center, has a sushi bar and a Japanese garden in addition to all those other hotel things like pool, hot tub, sauna, gym, etc. Puts me in good spirits at least.
Bleh, breakfast time. Hopefully I'll update this a bit later but don't count on it. Sorry :(

Sorry, I've spent a grand total of perhaps 20 minutes in the past two weeks or so on anything resembling online communication these past few weeks. Kind of a combination of Sims 2, work and cold/flu season.
For those of you wondering, I'm currently in the process of being able to swallow solid foods again thanks to a viral infection of sorts. So far the three days of rest have made me feel worse instead of better, go figure.
Will is coming to nights either this week or next so I'm doing away with my quest to go to days. Instead, I've paired with my boss to work together on getting nights to be productive and enjoyable (being 3-4 people a night wears me out after a while ;p).
http://www.playlist.com/playlist/15059745291 I especially recommend The Mission District. That would be my current play list for the month as I don't currently have a music system other than project playlist. The Mission District is a band that I came across on myspace around December and since I couldn't find much on them at the time they kind of fell into obscurity to me. Whilst randomly getting caught up (I need to check my email more than once every two weeks as junk mail seriously piles up ;p) there they were as my profile page song, however the song can't be found on project playlist :(.
Jumping back to the work thing for a moment, I've been offered a day position, trading with Tim. This is not going to happen as I am not about to sacrifice two of my friends so that I can see sunlight. Besides, I'm not going to have wasted all that time and effort for a position that is beneath mine (no offence Tim ^_^).
So that should be about it for the time being, I'll try and be a bit more available but know better than to make any promises.
Okay, so I needed to give some point to it I suppose. I'm getting a bit better at this now, it hasn't quite been a month since the last one.
From a work perspective, I'm officially stuck for at least 6 more months now as I have since forth been coached. It's a term used to imply that "this is for your own good" when in reality it comes across as a death sentence to me. I need false hope at work because I can't have real hope.
However, it's not really the end of the world which is why I haven't really been online all that much in the past month as a culmination of the season, Sims and spending time with my fiance have taken up the free time.
So, basically, no I'm not avoiding anyone imparticular I'm just not being online as much as I used to.
I suppose it has been a bit of a while since I last did one of these. Partially as there was nothing really all that positive or ground breaking to write, I guess I will consolidate the past 6 weeks or so into this one. I'll try to be a little more consistent (I actually forgot what the name of this site was for a bit so that has a slight part in it as well.)
In a little under 4 hours, we are going to go get our marriage license. It's a two part process with this being part one. The commissioner would be part two, but we still have to wait at least 24 hours before going to the commissioner. The license itself is good for three months. So for anyone wondering, I'm now technically engaged :p.
After reading that you may be wondering what the big rush is. The details of the trip I shall leave up to fiancee to explain, but long story short, we are merely moving things ahead by about 6 months or so. (No, no one is pregnant.)
Isa has seemed to have adapted well and even helped to house break Kai as well which Kai picked up fairly fast as I believe it was maybe all of 72 hours tops that it took her to learn. Isa is still being a little territorial but now it's more occurrences that Kai has done something to irk her for first, like playing with Isa's tail.
The Christmas parade was abysmal, as par usual but I shall probably forget that part again by next year. Too many predetermined ideas go into it, but no one seems to share their ideas with anyone else so the float becomes a clusterf*ck. The only real positive to all of this is that I got to drive the store manager's truck which surprises the heck out of me considering I never really thought we were on all that good of terms.
Managed to get tonight off without even having to ask for it. All I did was show up, talk to my boss for a few minutes and then a bit of workplace gossip was shared. Suggestions were made, and now here I am. There is still no animosity between myself or my boss as the fault does not lie with either one of us. I'll try and use this as my personal day then so that I get paid for it.
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete. Equivalent Exchange doesn't encompass everything that goes on here, but I still choose to believe in its principle, that all things do come at a price, that there's an ebb and a flow, a cycle, that the pain we went through did have a reward, and that anyone who's determined and perseveres will get something of value in return, even if it's not what they expected. I don't think of Equivalent Exchange as a law of the world anymore. I think of it as a promise, between my brother and me. A promise that, someday, we'll see each other again.
