Brain Popcorn

Monday, May 10th, 2010 at 6:01 pm

What is a brain popcorn you ask?

It’s a piece of popcorn that reminded me enough of a brain that I kept it. For years. For I don’t know how many years but I had it before I started going out with Zena. So like…for over 6 years.

Yes, I’ve had this piece of popcorn for over 6 years, which I keep in an old Lactaid (I’m lactose intolerant) container. It’s my pride and joy, the next closest thing to a son that I have. Uhh..this is getting a bit strange.

Site Updates…sorta

Saturday, May 8th, 2010 at 12:39 pm

I realized I had completely misused the “Categories” section and used it like tags/labels…and didn’t use tags at all. I’ve gone through all my posts -_-; and rectified the issue. Ew. Rectified is an ugly word. The meaning is nice but it sounds like rectum. That’s an ugly ass word. Pun intended *ba dum dum ching* ….this is you -_-;

I like my categories a lot more now, they make a lot more sense. I’ve also included a new category, EPIC RANTS…these are my favorite posts, the ones I’ve had lingering in my head for years…the ones that always had a beginning, middle, and end, even a few years ago. They’re supposed to make you think differently about something…Sadly, I thought I had more of them…like, 10. Not 5 :( I’m disappointed…

The site progress has been going well, the only section not completed right now is Portfolio….that will take some time, I’m still trying to figure out how I want to do the layout. I’m realizing how difficult some of these pages are if I change the layout to my Naruto layout (effectively making the main space about 1/5 smaller in width, thus messing with my design). BTW. My Naruto layout has NOT been started…it’s really hard :( this one is way more artsy than my others….and it’s difficult getting the right feel for Naruto…there’s no site out there that’s designed in a Naruto-ish way…the way I want to design my site. If you have any, let me know so I can steal borrow some ideas.

Also: Regarding my last post: I have absolutely no room in my condo for another Manga series. What was I thinking. Though I did decide to get Prince of Tennis if I start another one…yes, that shall be my next series. I will probably start getting it…and figure out the space thing after. I’m sure it’ll work out. O_o
And I plan to read School Rumble and 20th Century Boys in the near future. *goes and puts that on his “To Read” list*. I’ll probably save 20th Century Boys for when I feel like something dark again.

I also got my Kirby pillow in the mail this week :) Sleeping with a star pillow is kinda awkward tho…its corners are always in my face. I forgive Kirby tho cuz he’s so cute!

I need to collect another manga series…

As Anime North approaches, I realize I have nothing I’m hunting for…which kind of makes going to Anime North a bit pointless…I want to start collecting a new manga series…

I’m currently collecting:
Neon Genesis Evangelion which is released every few years
Get Backers which was canceled
Naruto which I’m waiting for the Box Set for Part 2
Dragon Ball Z which is over and I have all of it

The only series I’d like to collect but aren’t are:
Initial D but Tokyo Pop ruined the names
Hikaru no Go which will probably end up being like, 200 volumes or something ridiculous…

What should I collect?
Prince of Tennis?
School Rumble?
Azumanga?

Suggestions?

Note: I’m also looking to buy:







………….hmmmm that’s about $300 worth…maybe i shouldn’t collect a new manga series -_-;

2 expensive, unnecessary purchases Part 1

Sunday, April 25th, 2010 at 7:38 pm

Hours of shopping today…went to Pacific Mall, Ikea, T&T and a Walmart.

Pacific Mall was interesting…I haven’t been in the asian environment in so long. It seems the stores have shifted from cell phones to eye wear. What seemed to be everywhere this time around were custom contact lens. And of course, Zena and I both got some custom ones…$30/pair, $55 for 2 pairs. That was one of my expensive, unnecessary purchases…I also bought another awesome item but I’ll talk about that in the next post…anyways…take a look, thumbnails link to my gallery. They’re almost all effectively the same image -_-; I didn’t realize until after I got all 8 together…

I promise better, full face shots another day…when I do my hair…I’m a bit too tired/lazy to do it today.

Stuffed Toilet Roll….wait what?!

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010 at 8:18 pm

Seriously, I have nothing to write about. But I wanted to post something since I haven’t actually tried wordpress out on a REAL new post. I’m resistant to use the interface…blogger was just so simple.

Anyways…a few months ago, Zena and I went to a One of a kind show. Here, they sell things that are….unique, not mass produced, etc. I remember spending like, $200 on food and items…I really have to resist going to shows and cons. I go in with no expectation to spend any money. And then I go overboard. I went to Cobs with Zena once….and spent over $30 in bread and pastries….which I finished within a day. No self control. For serious.

Getting a bit sidetracked…at this one of a kind show, I got that…pad of paper that’s moldable. I got this hat with bunny ears that my co-workers have seen. And I bought this (below). It looks like a toilet roll….but it’s got a cute happy face on it. When I saw it, I lol’d, I thought it was hilarious! It cost over $20. Zena thought it was too expensive for what it was. She was probably right. But again…no self control, especially when it comes to money. I’ll spend whatever if it makes me happy.

Isn’t this thing so cute and hilarious! I’m very tempted to put it on our toilet roll if guests were to come over. As a practical joke, they’d do their business and then…WTF! but I’m a little resistant cuz I don’t want their dirty hands touching my cute little stuffed toilet roll….so I doubt I’d ever do it. The thought of it is amusing tho…
