Cleaning, Conversations, Discoveries and a Terrible Lack of Blogging

There's a reason why I've been staggering the blogging but I've found it very hard the past few days to not type something down.

Although nothing major has happened, there's always some stupid thing to mention!

I feel that I've not played a game in a while, not before Dragon Quest IV which I'm currently kind of playing. It's going okay and a cool thing happened to me. I'm currently running a weapon shop! It's kind of fun but also kind of confusing as to when I should stop working for the day and determining my commission. I know, all that stuff isn't as exciting in real life nor is it that excting in the game.

In the meanwhile, my lack of playing videogames has been usurped by watching anime and television. For a while there I thought I wasn't watching enough American television. So I started watching True Blood, which is going alright. Dexter started up as well, so I watch that. There's a lot on TV and can I just say, CBS has a formula that works brilliantly for them...

It starts with a body, there's a 'bigger' mystery behind why there's a body, then the CSI, CIA, NCIS, FBI and whatever 3-4 letter organizations can be called in to figure out what horrible thing happened. Next they'll be calling The Mentalist, "TheM" and The Ghost Whisperer "TGW" and make a profession out of it.

Aside from collecting various anime and related osts (thx buj...CBS should give me a job), I've been on a hunt for other music. By other I mean, non-anime related soundtracks. Just when I thought I'd not be getting Keane's 3rd album after listening for free last week courtesy of the band and deciding I didn't want to ruin the greatness of their 2nd album with a tainted not-as-good album, I got an e-mail from them telling me I could buy the MP3s for $2.99. Okay, crap or not, I can find 4 songs to like for $2.99 and still get 12! Why, I'm listening to one now and I like it, which leaves only 3 more to go.

With no way to segway, here's another bit of penned up wealth of non-blogging I wanted to mention: I 'cleaned' up my shelf in my room. The stuffed animals that I really didn't need to look at on the daily all went in a tote. It was sad and they're probably pressed for air in there but I think they'll be alright.

As Papa HOchie said, "you moved toys to put more toys on your shelf!" Yep, I sure did. But at least I'm clearing room for dvds and manga and ...more toys.

The discovery I made? I have shit I don't even remember I had. That's so sad. Also, I got some cool things! Like Postulio! And Vivi...who's not as cool. Why do I have that?

A Love Hina shelf! I maintain that I love Love Hina, regardless of how 'shoujo' that makes me, if that's even the word I want to use. Shut up, H1!



Vivi and one of my most awesome figures, my whatever version of Seymour. Shut up, Seymour haters!



L! Aww, poor ded L...



Ded White Boy, peeking Tokyo Monokuro Boo, a smoking watermelon - all slumming it outside Zim's house.



Ooo, hottie Kaoru and vintage DBZ:



Judge Magister Grabranth! I'd open it to showcase all it's glory but it'd probably need its own shelf:



Much like Gungrave (my most badassed figure to date) hiding behind our favourite, Love & Peace-u!



Lord Stanley Hihat Trinidad XIV and Bleach!



and H1's favourite, Majin Kappa



There's more but I haven't set them up yet. Which leads me to my next bit of blogging -

Frass and I went to dinner tonight as part of his birthday and general meeting up plans. We were supposed to be at Janet tonight but Janet J. has some kind of rare form of migraine she says, that makes her get vertigo. I don't understand why she can't include the vertigo moves into her dance routine but that's just me.

We ate at Pongsri and had all the usual suspects. Not picture here are the golden triangles which we devoured earlier on:



It was good seeing him and he gave me presents, making it even a better reason for seeing him. Aha. I keed.

Really though, Frass: have a safe flight and a great time in Merry Ol' England & Italy! I'm still hatin' on you but not really. Take pictures and have tons o' fun!

There's more food news: Magnolia cupcakes are overrated.

H1 and I finally had a taste of what the big deal is about and we still have no idea what the big deal is about.

The cupcakes tried to choke us! The buttercream is fabulous as far as buttercream goes but the cupcake didn't taste fabulous at all and was really dry.





Oh yeah, and Happy Birthday Frass! We hope you enjoy your cupcake even though we knew it sucked before we bought it. Heh.



Hey, at least it was a cutie pie cupcake with that flower! By the way Frass, that cupcake wrapping paper is fantastic.

Finally, Boobey Head made me some eats while I was out today. I got a 3 course meal and I hope next time it'll be a 4 course with a drink, because I get parched and I like 5 or 6 appeteesers.



But really H1, how could you let him buy bacon without the fat?! He may as well have been effin' Canadian!

I know what you peeps are thinking; you're thinking I probably should have not bothered to blog and you know what you can do? You can shut up! Heh.

Currently listening to: "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Have a Nice Dream" by Taku Iwasaki, from the Soul Eater Original Soundtrack. I love you, Death the Kid!

Keeping Track of Shady Buisness II

This time, we're monitoring the situation with Pongsri and Good Humour Ice-Cream Trucks.

A lunch less Thursday it was, so H1 and I ordered from Pongsri. The food arrived quickly but when H1 answered the phone, it went something like this -

Delivery Guy: You have food delivery downstairs.
H1: OK, I'll meet you in the messenger center (the place we're supposed to go to for food deliveries)
DG: You want to meet in the messenger center?!
H1: Yeah...
DG: No, I meet you downstairs on 48 Street.
H1: No, we'll get yelled at. We're supposed to meet at the messenger center for food pick ups!
DG: No! I'll be OUTSIDE the doors, on the street. 48.
H1: ::disgruntled:: Fine!

So we went downstairs and conducted shady buisness of our own. There was the guy, on his bicycle on the sidewalk, barely obscured behind the building.

Why are most Asians always so shady? Time is money, I guess.

The other shady occurrence today happened this afternoon when X and I were lounging in the living room.

Or 2: Oo! You hear that?! An ice-cream truck!
X: Oo!
Or 2: I wonder if it's a Mister Softee!

As we were pondering this, the truck had stopped somewhere up the street. Then we heard a familiar sound.

X and Or 2, to each other: Ummm, you hear that right? Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer?!
X: What the hell is up with that truck?! Why would an ICE-CREAM truck ever have the need to play that song?!

Memorable Conversations and Quote of the Day:

Momma HOchie: You are the Queen of Mean!
X: Oooo! I always wanted to be a Queen! At least I can be the Queen of something!

H1, on a facebook super poke discussion: If anyone throws Michael Phelps at me, I'll vomit.

Or 2, on a picture of Michael Phelps: I'd think those ears of his would keep him back in the water.
H1: Yeah... they're not streamlined.

Currently listening to: "LE BRANC sama Wa Nandemoari" by Noriko Matsueda, Takahito Eguchi, from the FFX-2 Original Soundtrack and "The Oath" by Nobuo Uematsu, from the Final Fantasy VIII Original Soundtrack. It still pains me that this effin' stupid ass game had such a good soundtrack. It's almost trying to redeem itself by having that and Zell but nothing can save that game's horridness.

Just So It Is Clear To All

The HOchies have been having a rough time of it as of late.

We went to Pongsri for dinner and drinks on Friday and as we were coming in, Gina Gershon was going out.

Quote Or 2 to H1:

"Man, if she wasn't so fat, I'd think she was Amy Winehouse".

Let it be known that The HOchies are unashamed.
