I'm sure none of you have been asking that question since nobody reads my LJ anyway (I know this because nobody makes any comments to my entries), but I have either been A> Busy surviving independently at work and at home, or B> currently on vacation in Florida with my sister. Today, we will be going to Clearwater after exhausting ourselves on Disney Park after Disney Park this past week. Photos and videos will show up soon.
On an unrelated note, my sister and I ate dinner at a Smokey Bones southern BBQ restaurant. It was very good, especially the donuts. If you've never had real southern BBQ in Florida, you are in for a treat there.

| The most amazing spectacle ever |
[Jun. 22nd, 2008|08:06 am] |
It isn't summer unless Coney Island throws it's annual Mermaid Parade. Imagine thousands of people dressing up in costumes (or lack thereof in most cases), marching down Surf Avenue all in the name of art preserving the amusement industry and history from greedy land developers. It was amazing, and my friend had a good time also. ( Enough blabbing. Show me the picses! ) |

| You know what really sucks? |
[Jun. 18th, 2008|08:42 pm] |
Besides Hanna Montana, that is.
Once upon a time, when I was a blossoming high school student, I discovered this student-produced theater production that was not recognized by my school's drama dept. It was called SING. It pitted two teams of different grade levels at who could put on the better show. I had participated three times out of the four years of my High School career.
Those were the worst memories of my life.
When I tried to be a writer, there was no writing going on until the deadline.
When I was given a role, I looked like a retard.
None of the other students knew what they were doing.
If I had not thrown out the video footage, I could show you on YouTube how full of suck it was, but then again, I'd probably be drawing negative feedback.
So remember, kids. If you're ever enticed by such a theatrical presentation, and they ask for volunteers, run away from them as fast as you can, because you know darn well that SING Sucks.

Once upon a time, I discovered this band that had an old-timey sound, like from the early 30's Hawaiian swing. What stood out from this band were the vocals of Bliss Blood and (then) Carla Murray. Accompanying their acoustic uke/guitar sound was the National Steel lap guitar of Mike Neer and bassman Andrew Hall. They were The Moonlighters, and that was only the second incarnation of the group.

Why has nobody put any videos of any Arielcon on YouTube? Was I the only one who ever had a chance to film and edit the two Arielcon tapes from 2001 and 2002? At least put those on the Internets.

| Pie Day Comeback |
[May. 19th, 2008|06:48 am] |
Saturday night was the Return of Pie Day at my place. I had invited some of my pals from MoCCA and a couple from my job to my new apartment. Everybody enjoyed themselves with the Jeopardy! console and the pie. I'm still waiting on the pictures, Allan! I know you have them, I saw you whip out the camera during the ceremonial pie serving, and I can't let the day go by too soon.

| Transformers nostaglia |
[Mar. 30th, 2008|04:49 pm] |
So my sister acquired the complete Transformers animated series on DVD (imported from China, if you can believe it), and she let me borrow the DVD set to watch. Watching it makes me very nostalgic, and I would love to own all the original toys once again. Unfortunately, the only TF toys Hasbro are the movie ones and the subsequent low-quality cartoons.
Is there any other way other than Ebay that I might acquire these gems? Or at least small replacement parts since my family "claims" that I have some of the toys in good working order?

| Things that make me angry, and what makes me feel better |
[Mar. 1st, 2008|08:48 pm] |
There were alot of things this past couple of days that made me angry.
*I can't play videogames (at least, not the ones of the console variety).
*I can't make recordings for podcasting or online radio
*I can't drive
*The subway fares are increasing
*From what I hear in the news, policemen's jobs are to write tickets and arrest people.
So how did I deal with this anger? I bought myself a tablet pad, and it works absolutely great. :)

Doing your taxes while your father is in the other room watching a classic movie musical that your 8th Grade Drama Club staged ten years ago, and the songs remind you how much suck that period of your life was (not that I participated or anything like that, but I did admire those people, and my imagination was inspired by what I saw, which was a bad bad mistake).
I really wish there was a way to travel back in time to your childhood and threaten your younger self not to commit those embarrassing mistakes of your youth so you would grow up normally.

My mother can drive once again! It's difficult for her to walk long distances even though she can do it, but she gets tired easily. Other than that, she is finally able to drive, and is currently exercising that privilege with my sister by making the "Big Commute Down I-95" to Florida for the week. If only I could be that lucky.

| Weird Dream Coincidences |

| |  weird | ] |
So I had this dream last night about action figures battling giant insects, and then the giant insects start crawling up my body which was frozen with fear. A friend suggested that I had ice cream before I went to bed last night, and she was right. I had no idea ice cream can cause nightmares, and I'm addicted to the stuff.
But that's not the weird part! My sister had a dream about cockroaches because she saw one in her bathtub, and my mother had an ice cream and took a nap and dreamed about bugs too. Is that weird or what?

It's all healed up. She still needs a foot brace and still can't drive, and she has to take her time going up and down stairs, but at least she's walking. Things are slowly starting to get back to normal, but I'm sure that I'm still going to be asked to do stuff. :(
