* I started my workday by rescuing a small rat from the sticky trap in the kitchen. (I hate sticky traps--they're cruel. Either kill the critter outright or capture it in a cage, don't glue it to the floor and leave it terrified and helpless for hours on end.) The squeaking sounded so pitiful! Marselle was scared of it, too, so I took it way out into the park behind our property, gently pinned its little head to the ground with a forked stick so it couldn't bite me, and pried its little (swollen and apparently numb) paws out of the goo. It lurched away as soon as it was free ("Come back, you're still sticky!"), so I guess it was okay, though one of its legs might have been broken. ;_; It hobbled off towards where three dens of foxes live, so I hope it's okay!

* Around three some idiot crashed into the subdivision sign across the street from work! And then just drove away! What the HELL?!

* Both my properly colored vinyl and one of Michael's birthday presents came in the mail today. Michael's present isn't too surprising, as I ordered that sucker last week. But I only completed my vinyl order on Tuesday! Apparently those New York fabric houses don't mess around.

* I finally bought Kushiel's Mercy. Oh Imriel, what kind of hot hot epicness will you get up to in this book?

* My cousins from Texas are going to be here in about 30 minutes. I haven't seen them in 10 years, and today is the younger one's 14th birthday, so this ought to be interesting.

* Tomorrow we're going to Mimi's (my aunt's). Apparently she's invited 26 people to her little Independence Day shindig and spent today cooking like mad. She's crazy. Did I mention that she's 68 and her husband's 73? Yeah, CRAAAAAAZY.

No.  Don't think he'd appreciate that.

I found this in space and wanted to share it, and if it says not available then try back later.

Hey guys! So, this is my first Jam video! I started it a few days ago on a whim and just kind of threw it together. I was listening to the song, which is Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, and thought it would be cute. Oh, and I want to thank ooohjoy for helping me out a bit on finding clips. :)

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy!

Hey guys, I just received an email from someone in Russia who has a few RK questions. To be honest, I can't answer them. I still don't have my DVDs back (ugh) and I'm calling upon all the RK fans who read this for some help.

The e-mail reads:


Do you have any information about Special Police from Satsuma? "Kenkaku Ken Kantai"... or something like that... I don't remember.

Would you like to help me, please?

And what Hiko said to killers in the first OVA episode? (In the Romaji transcription)



I know vaguely what Hiko said to the killers in English (roughly "those who are about to die don't need to know my name") but I couldn't even begin to try and put it into Romanji without the text in front of me. So if anyone has the raw Japanese for that part I'll translate it to Romanji, or you can take a shot at it yourself. Either way, let's help this fan out with his questions!

Anime Expo non-goers UNITE. Ha ha ha.

I haven't had Cocary in a long time.



For some reason, this story came to mind.

Jason (we called him Stallion back in the day) and Nelson (Beerman) stopped by my place in the very non-existent Bellflower. We used to eat at Cocary like... every weekend.

Jason turned up the juice on the ramp up to the 91 Freeway. Minutes later, Nelson kicked it into high gear. To the tune of about 120 MPH. Before I could even say anything, Jason followed suit. I don't even know why we made a note of this after the fast trip but while we were going 120, All My Life by K-Ci and JoJo was playing. Yes. ALL MY LIFE on 120 MPH.

JASON: "Where's the 60 at?"
REY-REY: "60?!?! We just left FIVE MINUTES AGO!!!"

Yeah, I was pretty damn nervous. I just had a car accident five months prior to this.

When we arrived at Cocary (which was in Monterey Park and technically next door to Los Angeles), I looked at my watch.

Cocary's about 20 miles from my house. I remember leaving at 7:47 P.M. We arrived at...

7:56 P.M.

It took all of 9 MINUTES to cover 20 miles.

So for a while, we would answer 9 minutes whenever someone asked, "How long does it take to get there?"

"How long is the trip to Vegas?!"
"Bellflower to Las Vegas, 9 minutes!"

"How long will it take you to get here?"
"Costa Mesa to Bellflower, 9 minutes!"

Unfortunately, I don't have 9 minutes to save the world.

Though it only takes a minute for Chas to save me! High five!



tired,

"This is the first time I've seen [sea]gulls flying away from garbage."

Worse than Paris Hilton? Or just as horrible as her?

YES.
YES.
NO. Because we aren't friends anymore due to Cataclysmal events in history and the inability to communicate properly. Probably was mostly me. My Bad.

That was easy!

A vague 3 centimeters, ain't that a flexible rule?!
(and yes, I actually did hike my skirt up a few centimeters lol)

...I love Lucky Star x3

I hope all of you attending AX this year will have a great time! I will miss you all terribly and want to hear your stories when you return! For those of you in the masquerade, good luck and have fun!

I'm a sad little panda...

Holy crap XDDDDD

There are SO MANY PEOPLE coming to my cookout tomorrow!!! Really, does no one have anythign better to do?! XD This is awwwwwwwwesome omg <3 We're gonna have like 20 people <3 I really wasn't planning on this, but it'll be fun!! ^___________^

Work was a blast today, just because we had no customers, but lots of awesome people working lol...so we were all just goofing off and having interesting conversations and gossiping and dancing and singing and shizzzzz...it was great <3 I was in such a great mood by the time I got off XD When I went to count my drawer with Diana, I was like LET'S DO THIS and she was like "O___O OK LET'S DO IT!! GO GO GO!!!" XDDDD

Oh, and we had the cushions on our swively chairs washed and I had to squeeze these huge cusions back into the tiny seat covers and omgggggggggg it was horrible x_x I have like...callouses and blisters and my nails are all messed up. Seriously XD At one point I was by myself out in the dining room with no customers, sitting at a table and angrily trying to get a cushion into the cover, and I'm just cussing the hell out of it and I imagine it was pretty funny if anyone had actually seen it XD; I was like "You little fucker get the fuck in the damn seat cover god dammit OW SHIT". Lol >_> I was seriously pissed off at them for a while XD I worked up a sweat getting them in there, and so did Annie when she arrived to help out ^^; Seriously, it shouldn't be that hard XD Also shouldn't take an hour and a half to do 11 @_@

I hope it clears up for Red White and Boom tonight =/ I'm not really sure what's going on with that >_> *needs to call folks*

OH I got my Konata wig!! IT'S FREAKING LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG \8D/

Okay, so let's see what scares Joshua...and why isn't "A McCain Presidency" on the list?

( Dare you see what scares Joshua? MUAHAHAHAHAHA!! )

.. if you wish to post this in your journal, it's been requested that you title it "I'm afraid of __ out of 72 common fears."

If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling.
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.
If you get 10 or less, you’re fearless.
People who don’t have any are liars

There are a couple iffy ones there. And some on which I'm actively working (like fear of success, so I gave it a no). Some of them (the welcome mat?) really struck me as odd, and I guess they wouldn't be there if they weren't relevant.

That pretty much sums it up! That of course is me trying to avoid everything AX related and looking uninterested unless there is something of merit.

Now since I'm away, I'll need all your non-AXers to keep on checking ACP for photos to sort without me announcing them.
Ah, AX how I loathe the, but work is work
I don't miss AX at all.
Sleep however, I do miss. Seeing that I got ZERO last night. I haven't done that since Worldcon 2006.... oh wait I think I got one hour then. But you see, this was well calculated so I can sleep thru AX and not worry about a thing! Yeah!
I'm still completely functional. I'll make that back (along with ALOT of other things after AX08 is over). No sweat really because in trade for no sleep, I have all my dominos lined up. Nothing -atcon- to hehehehe sew. Unless I find a sewing machine of course.

Hello community <3
This is indeed my first post and since I can't make all these wonderful videos, I've made a wallpaper.
Boo, it only comes as 1280x800, but I hope you enjoy it regardless of it's size (insert Michael Scott comment here).

A bit of a preview.


find it here, since I'm not sure how to link to the post directly...

psst! if you comment, please do so on my little smidge of a journal :)

Urgent question!!!  I hope its not too late to ask, you all probably wont even check LJ before leaving tomorrow :/

Are there any good places for some like me (Who is only attending AX for one day, and not staying at any hotel) to park overnight?  There's always a possibility there may be some crazy party that I can't come home from, and I may need to crash somewhere.  I've read that the LACC doesn't have any overnight parking, so does anyone know if its possible to purchase a parking permit at a hotel when you're not a registered guest, or if there's any safe parking places close by? 

I need to stop painting my nails and go to bed.... have to wake up early and finish my job so I can go to AX... but no.... why do i feel like to paint my nails right now.....



time to move on to toe nails.....

(good thing that Nonette wears gloves... don't think i can do my nails like this at the con.....)

Anela.. got a surprise for u tomorrow... if i do remember to bring it with me...
