Birthday Weekend
Sep. 7th, 2008 08:56 pmHey,
Well, my birthday weekend was a good one.
On Friday, I got to go to the Twins game. We sat on the third base side in the lower deck. It was really fun, and we won. I got to see Justin Morneau hit a Grand Slam, which totally kicked ass. I got to watch Francisco Lirano strike out nine. It was a very good game, indeed. We won 10-2, considering my first game we lost by about that much. I also got to eat one of the coolest things EVER. Cinnamon roasted almonds. Totally good and I wish I could get them at home. It's just too bad we blew the rest of the weekend. Ah well.
In other great news, it came out that Minneapolis will spend a million bucks to help improve the acoustics at the Target Center. From everything I've ever heard, it's necessary. Oh, and Trent Reznor announced a new opening act to replace the awful Crystal Castles. We get a band called Boris, and get this, they're JAPANESE! So, I won't know what they're singing, but damn, they sure do rock and rock hard. And, they're cute. It's about as close to a great pick as the Dresden Dolls was. You can hear them here:
And, as it is now September, it is once again football season. I've been enjoying the day of watching football. Now, all I need is the Colts to come back and win tonight. Then, everything will be complete.
Oh, and I'm on page 12 of the next Journey chapter. Sesshomaru is a busy boy and he wants a lot to be done.
Until next time,
Far Away Eyes

Well, there went another weekend
Aug. 3rd, 2008 09:54 pmHey,
Well, despite the concert being postponed, I still managed to get diddly done on the chapter this weekend. Ah well. I've been too hyper, and I've noticed that Sesshomaru has decided to despise Nine Inch Nails, which is tough, since I love them. Maybe if I try and stick to Ghosts. . . He wants his Depeche Mode badly.
I managed to talk to my boss today, and he's fine with me taking those two days off. Yayzors, because I didn't want to stay up for two days. I am determined to go to this concert. That doesn't mean the updates about the current Chicago show at nin.com don't hurt, damn it. And, I keep looking and seeing the song currently played with a photo of the show and I'm so depressed. Sigh. At least it's a go (fingers crossed and a prayer) in November!
The good thing is I'll be able to better plan the merchandise buy for the concert. The t-shirts I've seen in pictures posted online RULE. At $35 bucks a piece, though, if I want a couple I'll have to bring a bit more cash than originally planned. I also haven't decided if I want to buy a lithograph of the show when it comes time. I wonder if it'll have the rescheduled date printed on it---or will it have the original? I wonder what one is worth more in the long run.
I'm also gonna blow some money before the show on some new NIN shirts to wear to the show, rather than spend money on manga this month. We'll see, but with the Renaissance Festival this month, I have to pick and choose. I'm feeling the Art Is Resistance shirt.
Hopefully when I get home tomorrow I can actually, oh I don't know, manage to get some writing done. Imagine that.
Until next time,

Hey,
Other than that, I have gotten the orders by my beta to get really serious on working on Journey. Yesterday I didn't get anything done because Gone With the Wind distracted me. It's like I have to watch it every time it's on, even though I've seen it a billion times. It's just one of those movies, you know? And of course it chewed up the whole afternoon.
That's about all for now. A bunch of random babbling, eh?

Random Journal
Feb. 21st, 2007 03:01 pmHey,
Well, this is a little random journal babbling about various things.
I am recuperating from putting the new songifc collection together. Then, on orders of my beta, I am to focus again on Journey. I suppose I should, after all we do have a while to go in it and we do have some exciting story lines ahead! I will also try to get some more drabbles and "Games" written up as we go. It all depends on how busy I get---or how much things like American Idol or the new NIN DVD distract me.
