Totally forgot about Emerald City Comicon at Qwest Field March 31st-April 1st. Jeremy & I will be attending.
I look foward to seeing Scott Kurtz from PvP, Brian Michael Bendis & Mike Avon Oeming (creatos of Powers), to name a few choice guests there.
I'll have to stop by TicketMaster to get tickets. It'll be fun going since I've never been to an actual Comic Convention. ^_^ I'll have to make sure to either pick up all the Powers Series to have them signed or just stop by the Comic Book Ink booth and buy them there.
Either way more Convention love to be had!

grr @ my apt
So I'm working OT early all week long. As I play Snooze tag with my alarm clock this morning, around 4 AM, I hear this odd sound.
A dripping.
Not fucking again.
Yes there is another goddamn motherfucking leak coming from upstairs.
This time it was in my closet with the water heater. More than likely the upstairs apt's water heater is leaking which is why it's leaking through my ceiling.
Did I page maintenance?
Oh you bet I fucking did. I told them this was the 3rd time in like 2 months that my apt had some sort of leak problem. It's getting ridiculous. Guy told me if it was ok if he came to check it at 9 AM. I told them that since the leak wasn't too bad, it's fine, I wouldn't be home due to work and gave them permission to enter.
Regardless I'm calling the main office when they open to chew their asses out. This is so no right. I shouldn't have to worry about what's the next thing that's gonna leak in my apt. I mean especially if I'm not there. Only time I'm in my apt is during the weekdays really, the weekends I normally go hang out with Jeremy in Kent. I shouldnt' have to worry about what's the next damn thing that's gonna spring and leak, and ruin my shit.
Fuck. What a way to start a day.
On top of that I've been getting a scratchy throat and stuffy nose. Please don't tell me I'm getting sick again.
>.<
/sigh

upcoming conventions
So the Penny Arcade Expo site is finally updated for the new dates of it. Pretty much the only thing on there worth doing is registering. At least I know the dates, so I can schedule time off to go.
Also there is Sakura Con which is in April. I do believe I'm still a guest liason. I hope so at least, if not, hmm.. However, I did look at the guest list so far and saw this guy as a guest. ZOMG!
I wonder if I'll be assigned as his guest liason. *cough*hint*cough*Chris L*cough*
I can only imagine how funny Jeff Jacques would be. If anything I'll try to make it to his panels, buy some cool shirts and have him autograph something.
But yeah, looks like I'll have to save some money for both those cons. I'm just looking forward to go! ^_^

weekend wrap up
Been meaning to post this, but work has me busy, which is a good thing. (Yay for job security!)
Anyways, I had a very busy weekend.
Friday, from what you saw, I was on the quest for a Wii as well as excrucitingly waiting for my car to get fixed.
So I was calling various Gamestops, EB Games, Game Crazies, Targets, Fred Meyers, Walmarts, Sears, K-Marts..etc.. After so many calls.. I finally call a Game Crazy in Auburn. (For those who aren't Washingtonians, that's like 30mins away from me) Pretty much hearing the same spiel of "Thank you for calling *name of store* where we buy and sell used games/where you can reserve your copy of *new awesome title coming out* how may I help you?"
I then ask, "Do you have the Wii?" and pretty much all of them say "no". But when I called this Game Crazy in Auburn, I decided to say something different. I replied to them after they answered the phone, "I'm pretty sure the answer is 'no', but do you have the Wii?"
They then replied, "Yes. We do." "Come again?" I replied. I did a double take. I was like.. "Wait a minute, you have a Wii in stock?" They answered "Yes we got 4 in today?"
ZOMG! O_O I couldn't believe it. I found the Wii. So I asked if they hold them and they said no, so I told them I'm on my way. I take time off work, head to the credit union to get monies. As I was leaving the credit union, I called them back, begging and pleading my case that I was coming from 30 mins away, taking time off work to go get the Wii and if they could hold one for me, I would have their babies. They said, if you get an MVP account with us, sure. It was only $20 plus I get a magazine subscription, so I was like, if that's what it takes.. sure.
I haul ass to Auburn, and the directions that Mapquest gave me, blowed serious goats. I think I'm just gonna use Yahoo Maps from now on. Because the directions they gave me were just lame. But anways I found it. I got the Wii, plus an extra Wii remote & nun chuck, and picked up Zelda: Twilight Princess. ^_^
My epic journey for the Wii had come to an end. Funny that I had a similar epic journey/quest for the DS a few weeks ago. It's like whenever it comes to certain nintendo products, I have to end up going on some epic quest. I hope this isn't the case for future release titles. If that's the case, I'll make sure to reserve a damn copy.
From what I saw the only titles that really tickle my fancy is Mario Galaxies which comes out in April and ZOMG.. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles : The Chrystal Bearers in December! I sooo look forward to this game. I'm sure Wooko, Chris, & Pete will be down for some multiplayer FF:CC-fu. And before that the DS version of FF:CC will be coming out as well. I believe that's in May. So that will be fun to play too multiplayer, hopefully with the guys.
Ok so after getting the Wii in Auburn, I haul ass back to Lakewood, because by the time I go there, I figure my care should be done and I had to go get my mom to help me pick it up. And it's as if everything was falling into place. Exactly when I get off the exit to my work to get my mom, Lakewood Transmission calls me to tell me my car is done. Yay!
So I finally have my car! And oh how it works like it used to! So yay! Ran various errands aftwards and headed towards Kent to hang out with Jeremy for the weekend.
That evening watched Smoking Aces with Jeremy. It was a fun movie, IMO. Wasn't great or epic or ZOMG you have to watch this movie. A lot of funny moments and overall enjoyable.
Saturday, went to Seattle. First went to the international district to Uwajimayas. Ate some lunch and did some yummy asian snack shopping and got Hana Kimi 15 & Kare Kano 21 at Kinokuniya.
Then we headed to the Seattle Center to park there cuz it's cheap, and took the monorail to Pacific Place for window shopping. Heading to Pike's Place because there was a store near there called Swerves that a used CD/DVD place. Picked up Finding Nemo & Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, to replace my collection of movies because a so-called rat bastard ex boyfriend, *cough*Brien*cough*, took them from me. Got yummy gelato and went to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Co and got a caramel dipped apple with cinamon on it. It was muy delicioso when I ate it on Sunday. We then headead back to Pacific Place area, went to Borders to check out the books then ate dinner at Cheesecake Factory again. Couldn't help it, they have such yummy food. After that headed back to Seattle Center and went home.
So as we got home, we hooked up the Wii. And started playing Wii Sports.
OMG...
I am embarrassed to say, I am now sore from playing Wii Sports. From playing Boxing, Bowling, Tennis, & Baseball, I kinda over exerted myself with the swinging of my right arm. I think my lats and trapezius are the most sore right now. I'll have to make sure to stretch before I play Wii Sports again. LOL. But yeah I totally pwned Jeremy in Boxing, Tennis, and Bowling.
/flex
Sunday ran various errands at Walmart. Jeremy had his friends come over. We played some WoW TCG w/ the Onyxia Raid deck. We finally beat Onyxia, but we had to implement some house rules.
Anyways, it was a very busy and very fun-filled weekend. I just look forward to going home soon and playing some Wii, watching Samurai 7, & a brand new Heroes tonight! ^_^

the end of Kare Kano!
I just finished reading the last volume of Kare Kano
OMG. *tears* ; _ ;
Such a great manga series. I'm both happy and sad it's over. I enjoyed the ending, but there was one part that was so evil that made me yell out "OMGWTF!". I won't spoil is for you people, but I'm sure you know the part I'm reffering to.
So ends another manga series, and me wanting more. However, right now I'm on a current break from reading. Well I'm just taking my time now reading Eldest. My reading binges of late has exhausted me and also getting a Wii, makes me want to do other things with my spare time.
I also picked up Hana Kimi Vol. 15, so that should keep me occupied for no more than 30 mins. I should be done with it today, so Chris, let me know when you want it. We can swap the W-Juliets you have of mine for the next Hana Kimi.

zomg it's about time! ^_^
TGIF.
I cannot express how happy I am it's finally FRIDAY! I got paid today with my $900 bonus! Now on my epic quest for the Wii! So far I've called numerous Gamestops, EB Games, Target, Sears, Walmart, Fred Meyers, etc and no luck yet. However, on Sunday, apparently Walmart is having a sale on them. Supposively each Walmart is going to get 5 consoles each.
My plan of attack goes as follows:
I go on Saturday night to the Auburn Walmart at 10/11 because they are open 24 hours and wait for midnight to buy it. If that doesn't work..
I then go to the Covington Walmart that opens at 7 AM and wait in line at 5 AM.
I WANT TO HAVE A WII SO HELP ME LORD BUDDY CHRIST!
And finally..
My car is finally getting repaired & I should be able to pick it up today. After waiting for the stupid dumb ass part that was needed to be delivered by UPS from California, they get it in yesterday.. but wait..
THE FUCKING PART DIDN'T WORK WITH MY CAR! T_T >.< *twitch*
So they finally ordered a part directly from the dealership, which costs me an extra $200, but I don't care. I just want my car. And plus I'm on financing for like 4 years! But I plan on paying it off within the first 90 days because if I do that, I won't have to pay any interest. But yes.. if all goes well, my car should be done.
*begs/prays for it to work out*
So now, I'm happy. Very happy actually.
Yesterday, was the 6 month-a-versary for Jeremy and myself. We celebrated by going out to dinner. He surprised me by taking me out to Cheesecake Factory, one of my all time favorite restaurants. I've been wanting to go there for a very long time and everytime we plan on going, someone always comes up, but now we finally got to go.
Dinner was devine. For appetizers we had Buffalo Blasts. Imagine buffalo chicken goodness plus heaven in your mouth, you get Buffalo Blasts. Basically what they do is they chop up chicken breast and soak/cook it in buffalo sauce, then they wrap it up in a large won-ton type wrapper and then fry it. You then dip it in either blue cheese or buffalo sauce. Can you hear that? Yeah that's the sound of angels singing from above, because it's that good.
For the main course, I had the Thai Chicken w/ noodles in peanut sauce. OMG! SO GOOD. I could barely eat 1/4 of it, because they have such large portions, but oh I have a good lunch for today! ^_^
Then we had cheesecake to-go. I had the Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake, Jeremy, being a big peanut butter/cookie dough/chocolate lover, had the Peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake. WOW talk about a rich cake.
It was a great evening.
and to top it off...
He told me he loves me. He really and truly loves me. (yes sappy i know, deal w/ it :P)
But yeah. *SIGH* I am so happy. I haven't been this happy since, who knows when?
But YAY! FRIDAY! MONEY! CAR! LOVE!
I hope you all have a great Friday and weekend!

a whole week
A week.
Is the time that Lakewood Transmission will have had my car. ARGH!
So after many phone calls to them, trying to find out if UPS delivered my clutch kit, I come to find out that, UPS was supposed to deliver it this morning, however the truck that had my part, broke down.
THANK YOU IRONY! PLEASE LET ME BEND OVER MORE SO YOU CAN FURTHER INCREASE THE ANAL RAPAGE THAT HAS BEEN MY SHITTY WEEK!
So they should get the part later on today, however it will take 4 hours to work on my car, which means, yes ladies and gents, it should be done by tomorrow. Hypothetically. Knowing my recent luck, I have a feeling that something will come up to delay me from getting my car. I can't help but be so pessimistic.
However, I am trying my best to stay positive and have a small ray of hope inside of me, thinking that tomorrow will be better, my car will be finally done, I will get to see Jeremy, and I will see if we truly get our bonuses in our paycheck this Friday. Every Thursday before payday, we are able to see our paycheck stubs for our direct deposit, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping to see it there. If my car is FINALLLY done by tomorrow and I know I will get my $950 bonus, then that will make up for all the stupid shite that has gone on this week.
If not...it can be the shit icing on the crap cake that this week has become.
