Happy Birthday, Gen' Frien'!

I hope the day was awesome and that you kicked plenty of ass in your new Doc Martens.

Whoooaaaaa!!!

Happy Birthday, Gen' Frien'!

We hope you have a wonderful day and that you got your HK fountain pen.  Did you?

Lots of love,

The HOchieS.

Thor's Day

Everything about this day has been off.

Of all the days of the week, Thursdays are the days I hate the most.  This has been ongoing for some years now but it always seems like bad things happen on Thursdays, at least in my mind.

That bad feeling I just could not shake was not helped any by the news that a gunman tragically took the life of 5 people in Seattle yesterday.  My very great Gen' Frien' lives out there and thankfully, she is fine but it turns out the area in which the incidents occurred is one she frequents and almost did yesterday.

Frass is also well, having not heard from him in days after the zombie incident - another sad and scary event.

When I got to work and to cheer my spirits, roommate TonA had written "It's Thor's Day!" and scribbled a lightning bolt on our community white board (she has been a constant ear to my ramblings about anything and everything Loki/Tom H. and we have bonded solidly for the past month over Avengers).

Side Note: Last week for Fleet Week, I drew a Sailor.  Or... a Sailor Madeleine.  With a boomerang.

In keeping with bad drawing tradition, I decided at 8:45 this morning to poorly sketch a Thor.

Those aren't khakis but Pajama Pants.  Halloween plans to go as Thor and Loki in Pajamas are underway for TonA and I.

For my efforts, I received an "F- -" from H1.

But the true "F - -" moment came when Alex made a sighting as to a tall, blonde celebrity outside our building while one of our co-workers spoke to him.

And we later found out that it was indeed Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth.

Thor.

Freakin' THOR was in my building and I had a missed opportunity to have him sign my Thor dog tag that I've had on my person for the past month.  And I missed my opportunity to tell him that while he was good in Avengers, my favourite was Tom.  Because I'm a fool who would say that and profess my obsession with the God of Mischief to the God of Thunder.

Six Degrees of Separation, I guess.

Me ---> Co-Worker G.Med ----> Thor/Chris Hemsworth ----> Loki/Tom Hiddleston + ???? = Profit

Happy Birthday!

To Dearest Gen'Frien',

Happy Birthday!

I hope you got your Hello Kitty boots.  Take pictures if you did!

Lots of love,

H1 and Or 2.

That Frien' of Mine

Last Christmas, Gen' Frien' put together a very thoughtful lucky bag for me.  It was the cutest thing - full of candy, drawing supplies and a bento.

Today, I received another package of greatness.

Look at the piggyh cups! Ah, she knows me so well.

"Mystery" candy? Intriguing! I wonder what awaits inside... 

will open it this weekend.

Thank you for all my accessories to a better bento box builder!

A thank you is in order for forcing me to start making them too. 

I sadly did not get to photograph them but the t-shirts you sent for the kids are INCREDIBLE.  I will take pictures soon.

The kids will model and get the work out there.  Indeed.

Sitting at the bottom of my box was the coolest bit of promotional material from one of my favourite bands, from their very first album.

 And for this, I thank you, 

Gen' Frien' for feeding my obsessions.  Heh.

Update on 4/15/2010: 

Okay, Gen'? Meltyblend are greatness! I don't know why that's the first time I've had them...

And the gummie were awesome.  I have to hide the rest from Bunji so that H1 may get some upon her return from her mini-vacation.

The Lucky Bag Contents: 2009/2010

I took a few pictures of some of the things I got in the J-List lucky bag. 

It should be noted that my luck is always not great when choosing these things, as many of you know.  Even though I was excited to see figures from series I actually watched and like, it still did not mean I got characters I like.

Things can always be worse, they say.

Happy Birthday, Gen Frien'!

The HOchieS wish you a wonderful day and hope your interview goes smoothly!

HK at McD's

No no, not Hong Kong.

Though yes, they were made in China.

Some time ago, maybe a month now? McDonald's was giving away Hello Kitty watches!

I snagged a couple for myself and a couple for Gen Frien and seriously need to mail them this week.

Scope how awesome!









Wearing this watch on my hand makes me feel strangely...uncomfort...able.

"It's Written All Over Your Face...

...you just want my headphones, don't you?"

Justin Law, it's true. I do want your headphones and thanks to Gen Frien', I have a pair like them now.

My Etymotics conked out on me a few weeks ago, so I finally decided to try some Shure headphones that I've wanted for a while. Of course, until the day comes when I get the $600.00 pair (which I don't think will ever happen), I will never be satisfied.

I'm happy with my new Shure headphones for the most part - the sound is clear but the ear pieces are kind of hurting my ears (because in addition to tiny carney hands, apparently I've tiny carney ear holes as well) but struck upon a bit of genius before I ordered them to make the already awesome Shure headphones even more awesome...



(fantastic photo above of the shures taken by Gen Frien')

Why not commission my talented artist friend Gen to craft some Justin Law headphones for me?!

She's my talented artist friend but she's also one of my best friends, and insisted that she'd make them and give them to me as a Birthday pyo.

I. love. them.

It took about 2 tries before getting it on the 3rd due to my overwhelming demands and pestering but here's the set we decided on:





Of course, it was hard with the manga artist's and the tv series artists' inconsistencies and getting just the right picture but Gen did the best she could and they're fabulous as expected.

And of course, the day after I got them from her (they fit right on the Shure's so neatly!), episode 36 of Soul Eater came out and there is a screen shot of the headphones is perfectly clear and detailed. Grrr!

Well, Gen will try again to craft them as seen in Episode 36 in the near future, but for now, I'll keep rockin' these hotness ones I have on the train, so even more people can look at me and think me crazy.

No otaku has jumped me yet for my J. Laws.

H1, I am no Otaku!

Happy Birthday, Bughie!

"Silly Poem for Bughie"

I wonder why
the butterflies
flutter so happily
in September?

Could it be
that those silly
little flutterbees
remember

when a certain
special Bugh
made her
world debut

and how she's
always made
the world
a little better too?

And I wonder why
the trees begin
to dream of wearing
rarer colors

around this time?
Is it to celebrate
the exclamation point
at the end of summer,

that bold little circle
your friends and family
make around the 6th
of September?

I wonder too why clouds
always save some
of their bestest shapes
for September afternoons?

How they drift in lines
across the sky,
a kinda sorta impromptu
parade just for you.

And is it me, or do
the September stars
seem to sparkle clearer
when they arrange

their Virgo constellations,
as if each were a tiny elation
of the great big cosmos,
because you're one of their
favorite creations?

Maybe it's just a dream,
but dreams are nice too,
and we hope that you like
this one we spun for you…

Love, Bughie J. and Gen
