I'm spending a lot of time on journal updating today. Sorry to some people. I shall explain that certain people wanted to see some stuff after I doodled at work, and directing them to something like that is so much easier.

I uploaded some art yesterday and today to [info]azurevanillasky.
Emo Dolls, and also some Mighty Boosh Fanart stuffs
Completely random sketches from over the years
Arashi fanart consisting of MC Kamiyama, and Arashi as The Wizard Of Oz (this is what happens when I think of random things)
Basically, this is the moments where I have nothing to do, and then feel like this kind of stuff, and feel like posting it there, while I do have a Deviant Art acount, with confuses me so much anyways, so LJ=easier for me.

So, today was the Christmas Supper for one side of the family. We woke up quite early to go help cook, as it is the one held by my Grandpa (who was in the car accident a few weeks ago). There was some talk about how it should have be cancelled, but whatever. My job was peeling potatoes. Now, I know how to peel stuff, I just don't do it often, as I personally like the peel on many things. This was for mashed potatoes though, so I was being silly and peeling them completely wrong (really a hack and slash kind of job), and it was fun. I then found a potato that looked like it had hair. I will post a picture of this later on in the next while. I carved a face (I was using a knife, as I dislike potato peelers) into it and dubbed it Potato Punk.

After we had finished getting what was to be ready to put on, I played a game of cribbage. It was Grandpa and I vs. My Mom and Uncle. The ending score was 8-2 for G.pa and I. We actually only won 4 games, but skunked them all four times, while they won 2 games with no skunking. Quite enjoyable.

I also had my headphones in my ears the entire day except for during supper, but no one seemed offended, as I wasn't ignoring them, and instead was doing stuff, having conversations, and drawing, all the while listening to Pichan.

It was a good day though in the end.

So, today I had a dentist checkup at 9.15am. I got to see the x-rays from the last time I was there. Wisdom teeth, you are unimpressive bastards... Why are you growing in sideways? This means I'll probably have to be put out when I get them removed. I don't like that plan at all. Either way, I have a referal sent to the person who will be removing them, so in the new year, they shall be gone. I swear, I'm going to meet all of the dental professionals here by the end of everything...

The Waters of Mars is on the tele this weekend. I love Space and their non-cutting, non-bleeping ways. They make me a very, very happy fan ever since CBC decided to not have Who anymore. I cannot wait for Saturday.

I slept pretty much the entire day after my appointment. First day I've gotten to do anything like that in a while. Couches are uncomfortable though. Especially when you have a chocolate lab lying on you... I kind of hurt a bit, but all is good.

I got my Intro to Socio-Cultural Anthro mark back today. I feel like this:
Photobucket
I got an A+. Sure, it isn't the most difficult class in the world, but my interest in something determines how well I try at anything, and as it happens, I really like Anthropology. Now to go through the hassle of switching my entire program set-up. Fun times had by all.

THIS is the greatest thing I have watched all day (mind, I haven't exactly been awake for it to begin with, except Wizards of Waverly Place *cough*). Noel and David on the same show! Hellz yes! I swear Catherine is drunk (which isn't exactly unusual for this show at all I don't think), but it's okay, and Bernard is awesome! Just so much awesome in one place. Not the greatest episode I may say (Barrowman has some awesome moments from the past, and I miss Simon Amstell so much), but hillarious none the less. Watch it! On that note, I need to catch up on this show, so after VS Arashi + Gackt, I think I will. :D

I really don't want to work tomorrow...

Exam on Tuesday morning, and then I am free! Also, I have Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday off this week, so I'm quite overjoyed... I hate work so much lately. *shakes fist at it* My past few shifts haven't even had proper zone out time! Makes me sad...

I was going through my list of dramas I have watched, as I was adding to it (some Gekidan Engimono and Kindaichi Shonen no Jinkenbo 3), and I was checking some stuff. I have a bunch of random links for songs and stuff after all, and some songs I don't have anywhere in my computer, but I still like them. I really need to get on that.

Random videos... Kind of? )

It's always the maid...

I've never seen the point of the revolver in Clue... The other weapons are relatively silent, so are the rooms sound proof or something? I can understand if there is something silencing it and all, but couldn't they come up with something more entertainingly giggleworthy? Frying Pan in the Conservatory? Seriously though, if the killer's an idiot, then people would hear him! On that note, my two favourite boardgames are Clue and Monopoly, and it is really hard to find people that will play them with me... Sad.

I seem to have a fondness for using "..." at the end of my sentences. Probably a good thing in a way.

I do believe I shall be going through and watching all of VS Arashi again, finish some drama watching (Why is there so much? I need to finish this before the next season), and possibly attempt to watch Gossip Girl (someone is pestering me to, so I did promise I would watch a bit) over the holidays. See how this goes.

So, the most amusing thing that happened at work yesterday? Someone singing to Grandma got run over by a reindeer and changing "got run over" to "got jumped". In the rythm of the song, it doesn't fit perfectly, but it does make for an interesting mental image. :D It kind of lead me to sing my Santa being stabbed song (I made this a few years ago for some stupid reason).

Exam in 1 hr and 10 min. The next one is Tuesday morning (I don't do mornings very well either).

So, person I taped Alice for is now in possession of the tape. I do hope she likes it.

Apparently it is supposed to warm up this next week to about 0C.

I suppose remembering to do intended research is good... Why did it take so long to check or figure it out? Also, Wizard of Oz. )

Today was do nothing day! I was playing Mario on my DS, but I had no coins to get a save point. I'm on World Six, so one more to go! I'm almost at the castle too, which is awesome. Actually, I was at the castle, but after ten or so times getting killed by the boss (golpher in a tank... wtf?), I just shut her down. It isn't that I have no lives though (I have around 50, as the only time I really die is during boss stages), so I just have to beat the levels I had beat before to get to the castle again, and the levels were relatively easy, so no problem.

I think I need to learn that candies that are really hard are not meant to bite down on and break teeth... Ah well.

Stuffing mixed with hamburger to make burgers is quite good. Anyone who hasn't tried this, I recommend it. Especially with BBQ sauce on top and some cheese.

Wizards to Waverly Place is annoyingly good in the way that it isn't pure perfecting (it is Disney/Family Channel material afterall), but it is good enough that it stays entertaining. I don't know, I just seem to be watching it a lot lately, and I do enjoy it.

I've started to watch Primeval again. So far the first three episodes. It actually slipped my mind that I accidently read a spoiler for the third episode onces, until about half way through, and then I muttered a frustrated damnit. I shall continue watching, I'm just annoyed that it was a very important moment that I got spoiled on. Mind you, I've accidently read into situations displayed in shows on the first episode, got it right, and was then annoyed with myself because reflecting it ruined some enjoyment (I'm looking at you Ryusei no Kizuna, though overall you were quite entertaining).

Must remember to take Alice to work tomorrow.

Back to studying (a.k.a. death).

Vee-Dee-Ohs a la random and YT )

So, today was the last day of class, and my system of something happening on the last day that isn't so awesome is still continuing. Normally I just get terribly ill on the last day, and this year it was decided that I wouldn't get ill. Instead my vehicle would not start. I suppose it is alright, but still, would be nice if I could go to class for the last day. Ah well. It is quite cold though. With wind chill it is below -40C, which isn't too horrible, but it isn't all that good either.

Yesterday I got up at 3 in the afternoon. That was nice, much sleep. I was up for 12 hours and a bit though, so I'm quite surprised I feel asleep as fast as I did.

Exam on Saturday... Fun.

I think I'm going to edit my tags.

Why LJ? Why aren't you sending me my bloody alerts? I want to know what's going on! By that, I mean when someone comments on my journal. I have to check the homepage to see if anything at the moment, but the rest be fine.

So, Alice is totally enjoyable. Ah, I loved it too much (it most certainly had nothing to do with certain people in it, not at all... >.>), and I should really give that tape to the person tomorrow when I see them, but it should be okay if I give it another run through. I did promise by Friday afterall, and I had no intention of watching it myself until Wednesday, so as long as I don't admit to having watched it, all should be fine.

Hatter <3

I'm begining to be kind of eh towards Burton's Alice in Wonderland (and quite towards Johnny Depp's Hatter), but I guess I'll end up watching it anyways. I like the visuals and all, but it might be a bit much in a way if there ends up being too much colour (which is why Edward Scissorhands had the perfect balance of colour and dark in my eyes).

Looks like I can stop putting off watching Waters of Mars. December 19th, here I come. Next I just need to finish CoE and Primeval...

Really, as of late, I haven't been watching much by means of things with plot. I have read some books though (and fanfiction the size of books I suppose, and well written at that).

I should sleep. Day of no class, but work tomorrow! Work isn't until evening though.

I've only ever seen magicians do this from that starting point... Why?

'Tis the season to write Anti-Christmas Carols, because I cannot stand Christmas Carols at all... Fun to sing though, despite the odd looks.

The term is almost over! Yay! I'm way too happy about that.

So, a certain co-worker is a giant fan of Caterina Scorsone, so I am taping Alice for her, as she has no way of taping it. When she'll actually get to watch it? No body knows, and since I'm taping it, I have decided to watch it (lets ignore the fact that Andrew Lee Potts (Conner!) and Tim Curry being in it helped in my decision). So far, I find it enjoyable. It has been a really long time since I've read or watched anything relating to Alice in Wonderland (partially because certain family members cannot stand the story because they personally find it disturbing), so there is a copy in the house somewhere. Where? No one knows. Seems it was read to me a long, long time ago. So long ago, I don't remember hearing it, but know the story well enough that I'm not all confused, but I still forget random bits.

Of course, watching this reminds me I have yet to see the latest season of Primeval, and I have yet to watch Waters of Mars, and the last two episodes of Children of Earth, so I shall get to that during my break I suppose. It even reminds me that I have a whole list of other stuff to watch, but that can be ignored for now I suppose... Or I'll mix them together. I do have the last two episodes of CoE on video somewhere in the house, as I did tape it during its run (which was the same week of the convention, so it is understandable in a way as to why I didn't see the last two), but as soon as I could watch them, I had already misplaced them (or broken the tapes, as that seems to be happening as of late).

Livejournal seems to be having problems with email alerts lately. Kind of frustrating in a way, but I suppose it is alright... Arg.

You know you watch too much stuff with subtitles, when while searching for something on YouTube, you suddenly wonder why nothing is labelled as having subs, and then you realize the entire thing is in English anyways... I'm not tired at all. >.>;

It still gives me odd amusement to watch people try to turn their arm "backwards", when they can't.

One of these days I need to finish reading Honey Hunt. The similarities between Knights and JE groups in general cause much giggles, and the story line is quite awesome. Oh, wait, I can't finish it now! I've read everything released here so far... Damnit, April... Really? Also, need more Honey and Clover (March, really? *cries*)! Damn you VIZ!

There was a genius idea to have a cup phone run from the main doors of Brodie to the Physics Club room the other night. That would have actually been quite awesome.

It seems if I do really well (actually, just keep with the pace I have in it right now), I will end Intro Socio-Cultural Anthro with an A or an A+. This is part of the reason I'm switching to the Anthro department (and have more years to go, but that's alright). Power to Anthro!

I have the day off tomorrow! Yay! I have a dental appointment though... I hate dental stuff.

Does anyone know any stupid games that I can switch up to be Astronomy related? They have to be okay for children though.

Today we had snow! Well, more like tonight. It's starting to feel more like normal, though it took long enough... December first is a bit late, though there was that one year with no snow on Christmas...

I am fully going to admit, I used lyrics from NYC on my Anthro midterm as an example of formatting of language and order of subject matter... I don't know how to feel about that... I did get 5/5 on the question though.

As of a year since I started watching Japanese dramas seriously (I watched two prviously in 2007), I have watched a total of... 46 shows. *randomly had her neglected excel file open*

Seems someone is going to get the rest of COE to me, and I might be lending them a Torchwood novel. Ah, I love Torchwood.

My hands... They bleed! It's kind of sore too.

I think after three years of this, I may now completely loathe the Grey Cup. Damn you football and your ability to make people buy silly food that I don't want to be there to sell. I might just take this day off next year. I do have the next two days off though, and I work during the day, so it isn't overly bad for me I suppose. I get to leave around the middle of the rush, and shockingly I got sent home a half hour early today. Huzzah!

It has been realized that because of the types of people I hang out with, they generally are not Twilight fans at all, and while I do admit the first book isn't that bad (it has shockingly good pacing, but Edward is still a creepy stalker no matter what), the second book is just terrible, and I shall never read the next two. I do have co-workers who are Twilight fans though, and today that's what they wanted to talk about. Specifically New Moon. I am glad I didn't get the line "You just don't understand their love", and instead just got the fact that she thinks it is romantic (why, I don't know, and neither does she). Damn you Twilight and your vampires that sparkle! I think I might will go watch Dracula (the Keanu Reeves one for laughs) and Interview With A Vampire instead. I'm tempted to lend her my copy of Dracula...

Tonight I need to study for my test tomorrow... I'll get to it. It's on evolution, so a large majority I have learned already.

Seems I might see Ninja Assassin on Thursday, providing my plans stay true. Great thing to do after a final.

I never did finish what I had planned to do today. I had planned to draw two things. I decided to rest and eat fish instead. I do have the rough outline of one done, and the other is a picture of a picture, so I'm all prepped. Yay fishing on Europa.

This might be hard to read, and it's a bit late, but it's okay. )

This term is almost over! Yay! But I don't get a break from University. Instead I'll be painting. Seems the plan is the Solar System, Physics Formulas, a Galaxy, and possibly EM Spectrum. Quite fun I suppose.

I may be dropping Bio II for a special one term only Anthro course. Ah, I love Anthro, but it took to long to realize I think. Ah well, there is plenty of time.

Most random occurance today: Being told my eyes are pretty. Really though, it was quite a random comment to hear, and yeah. On the topic of my eyes, there seems to be some debate as to what colour they are. Some people think they are green, some blue, some grey, and some hazel... There is a ring of each in my eyes though, so I'm not sure what's going on there. I think it has something to do with what ever I'm wearing at the time, or possibly the glasses I have on.

Cookies are quite delicious in moderation, and only sugar cookies are good in large doses. The rest are kind of disgusting.

Apparently there may be fish on Europa... Space Fish! You'd get a pretty nasty burn if you could figure out how to fish there though (which, seeing as how thick the ice is and all).

My computer insists on trying to restart. I'm not going to be up much longer, so if it could just wait, there would be no problem, no?

I think that's about it for now. Bye bye!

Oh, and New Moon, why are you popular? Oh, wait... Nevermind then.

Right now, Ursa Major takes up the view from my room. Pretty. :D

So, Public Observing Night Part 2 went fairly well. It was saddly cloudy, and the worst part is the fact it cleared off at around nine. Ah well, I suppose it's alright. I do say though, paper and pens are apparently not safe around me, but some people seems to appreciate my random doodles as they were signing out. We ended with around 70 or so people, so that was good. A main problem though was there wasn't enough volunteers. Two of us aren't even Physics students, and there were maybe six of us, so we were stretched a bit thin. Kinks are still being worked out (such as red lighting on the stairs... I mentioned it a few weeks ago too). It was fun though. Much more enjoyable than actual work.

It seems I'm in the group painting the Physics and Astronomy Club Room over Christmas. I think I'm actually going to enjoy this though. Painting is quite fun, and it's not boring type painting either, which is nice. Also, there is tea and a bread maker.

I watched Hana Yori Dango Final tonight, finally I suppose as well. I love HYD way too much. It's all awesome and stuff. Yay!

So, Wednesday is going to be slightly busy. I think the picture I had planned to do by Thursday is going to have to wait if I don't get my essay done early. I could do my essay tomorrow night after work though, so I wouldn't have to worry about it Wednesday, and could then do the picture Wednesday night after the movie... Hrm.

This years winner.

Now I just need to remember it is the 25, 27, and 29th of May next year.

I think I'm going to go to sleep now.

I haven't been able to sleep properly all week, and I don't exactly know why. I'm so tired during the day though, but at night I'm not at all. Ah, so frustrating this is!

I'm thinking of re-watching Den-O. )

I think I'm going to need a new iPod soon. Pichan is starting to get old in the sense there is a weird internal clicking sound, it takes a bit for a song to start playing, it isn't charging as well, and I want more space for stuff. Seems like I'll be getting a new one on friday then. :D

Anyways, I should sleep. See how that goes. Bye bye!

I was bored, so I drew Ohno. Ah, I don't think it's that great, but I'm horribly out of practice. Need to work on my art more I suppose. To my art journal. I kind of don't like pencil...

I saw an old co-worker today and yesterday. She has two kids right now, and I kind of like them for their random staring, even though it is kind of creepy, but it's alright.

My internet keeps losing its connection recently, which is kind of annoying.

So, what happened today? Oh, I know, it's the only thing of note, so I will say it. I got my new glasses today! Exciting, yes? It's such a big change lense wise though, so that's some getting used to, and I'm quite fond of the frames I chose. Ah, new glasses are nice, even if it feels weird because the lenses are much stronger than my last ones. -3.50 with prisims to help my one eye see straight... Awesome...

Before I go watch Guests of Room 0 and My Girl.

So, tomorrow I work from 1 to close... Really long shift... Damnit! It is a day off class though, so I suppose it is alright, but after work I really need to write my essay. Yes, Anthro Essays are kind of alright to write, and I don't find them all that difficult when comparing them to English Essays, but I have been putting this one off, and it is due Thursday. I'll get it done though, so it'll be alright.

I really like this song (full version). I blame the accordion. I like accordions. This is also the best song off the single in my opinion, but I'm fond of the My Girl PV, so I suppose it's alright, seeing as I'm not fond of PVs as a whole.

Arashi is going to be busy... Wow )

Well, that ended with some fangirl stuff...

I have discovered something. It's very hard to describe cultural differences sometimes. Actually, just why the bride seems to tend to take the bride groom's family name after marriage... Certain people ask way too many questions. If they read this, they would totally know who they are. The likelyhood of them reading this is small though, so all is well. Ah, questions. Which reminds me, I have to take my stereo thing tomorrow. For some crazy reason certain co-workers are insisting on listening to Pichan while they work. I must say, I need to but the Silent Hill soundtracks, as even though I haven't played the games at all, I love the Soundtracks.

Now to watch Ohno and Aiba stuffs.

"Fanart" is time consuming... Damnit... I should stop doing some of it in class, though the class I've been doing it in I'm holding an A or something like that, so it should be fine. I think. Ah, I don't know. It seems the more I sleep, or the less attention I pay, I do better. If I try to listen, well, I can't sit that long to be honest. Unless I'm listening to music, or drawing something, I just can't sit still. I get like this when I watch TV. I move every few minutes. I seem to somewhat be able to sit still during movies, but even then, it depends on the movie. Ah, I wish I wasn't as fidgety.

Somehow when people who I've just met try to guess my age, it lands in the range of 17-25 (don't know how I got 25 that one time), and no one ever guesses it straight on. It's kind of amusing actually.

Supernatural last night was just simply amazing. There are no other words for it actually. It was fun, hillarious, and pivital to the overall plot. Made me very happy. Very happy. I love this show.

Radio sucks. I don't know why I sometimes listen to it, but I also know that if I don't turn it back from what I was listening to at the moment, a certain person gets all uppity. Classical > Popular stuff. I need to listen to it more often. Randomly we listen to Opera at work, and it's a nice change, but then people (i.e. employees) start complaining, and we end up listening to not so awesome stuff again. Maybe I'm just anti-popular stuff, and while my knowledge of classical music is lacking, I'd much rather listen to that.

Niji, Kako, or Gimmick Game... Hrm...
