I saw three cats and a raccoon on the way to work today. Considering that I normally don't see anything other than common birds, this was a pleasant anomaly.

Crikey. I still haven't seen anything from that wave in stores yet. They just keep restocking the movie figures. I had'da get Newtralizer shipped from China for $8. Good score!

That I didn't run over a skunk that was zig-zagging on the road, trying to get hit, on my way to work, this morning.

I got to go make plushies with my grandma today!

Well, I'm a bit better than I was before. Guess I really can't stay away from here too long, even though it can drive me crazy a lot more than the other forums I signed up on.

Got some work done on one of my chapters for my fan fic. It's not complete yet, but at least I made progress on it after being stuck in writer's block for a long time. I hate when that happens.

I'm happy that I have these sour Jolly Rancher bites.

Talking to my family.

Job has changed the work week from 5 day 8 hour work weeks to 5 day 9 hours for one week, 4 day 9 hours for the second week and we now get every other Friday off. Plus with Labor Day this Monday, I got a 4 day holiday! Yay!

With it being the weekend, I am looking forward to the football (soccer). There are a few enticing games happening over today and tomorrow.

Going out today and getting multiple compliments on my hair, having a walk by the beach, having a lovely vegetarian omelette and banana smoothie, and catching up with my Mum and kid sis. Then, having a relaxy night in with my boo, watching Miami Ink.

Found some awesome early Nintendo Power magazines at the flea market plus some NES & Atari 2600 manuals at the flea market today. My buddy got there first so he snagged the original Atari achievement patch complete with the letter congratulating the recipient. I was crazy jealous that he got to it first, but very happy for him, he's so stoked to have finally found one- I've never seen one in real life either... Cool day!

How could it not?! Adorable! Runningback? He looks fast!

I made myself a personalised hoodie here of the Red Lotus from Korra as a punk rock band:

It should be done by next week and I cannot wait!

Real Madrid being 2-0 up after half an hour away to Real Sociedad but losing the game 4-2.

For those unacquainted with football/soccer: Real Madrid are the world's biggest club by most estimations (they spend an absolute fortune on marquee players), and Sociedad are a good team but really just a medium-sized club, certainly not on the level of RM. So this is funny, especially as I generally consider Real Madrid an overrated team.

Edit: just seen Jester's photo of his son. The shirt is bigger than he is lol. Very cute kid mate.

My birthday lunch with my family. Also getting a copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Visual History.

Learning beautiful guitar licks ! 8)

I'm about three quarters of the way through the Ultimate Visual History. It is excellent and you will enjoy it.

1 Sept I get my new broadband! :tlove:
♥ Broadband Speeds: 100/100. ♥
