Just came back from the Gym... 40 min. workout!

Been listening to podcasts 'twinkiebeyond', pretty funny and listen to all his podcast, have some time listen to him, his from Maryland... Also, otakugeneration... and started with Jpop blast mr. Robbie from Britain...

Also, got a new penpal that lives here. Going to meet him on Monday, time and place are still unknown. Have a spoken to Y-man no, and I guess he doesn't want to talk to me. Oh, well hope alls good with him. Hopefully, I get get together w/ M-lady on Thursday to do some pottery crafts near where I live. The closet man's coming at 1pm on Thr. so, I'll see about that. B-G wants me to be here.

Tomorrow is dishwasher replacement day! Yes, finally!!!!!!

I amstill upset about the furniture that has to be returned and replaced and also fixed. The bed needs some touch ups and they will call to set the app for the service guy to come. We need to put curtains on the bedroom still...

This past Sat. I regected the mattress as the delivery guys drop it on the freaken floor. And well, there was that dark black slush, which got all over the mattress. They got it up here:

me: 'it's dirty?'
del-guy: 'oh, you can clean it up'
me: 'No! I am not accepting this!'
del-guy: 'Will you want the boxspring?'
me: 'Yes, if you don't drop it.'
del-guy: 'Ok, On va le chercher...'

After they tried to call their dispatch but no one was answering. They asked me to call on Monday to set a delivery time. Did that! They will be calling us.

Missed my Academic Advisor meeting... Rescheduled for Dec 5 Monday at 11:30am...

Dec 9th Carly gets her booster at 1pm and I go to the Dermo at 11am.

I am so tired and I ache... Sleep sounds très yummy right about now...

Lesson 1-4:

* only 5 vowels: Ah (a), we (i), soon (u), get (e), old (o).

but the 'U' sound is without the pursing of the lips. Nouns have no gender or singular/plural form. Verb conjugation is not affected by gender or singular/plural and only have 2 tenses; past and present. It also comes at the end of a sentence (which at times omits the object) which is a very important in understanding what you are saying. I have my work cut out for me as it seems its pretty hard to learn the verbs but the rules are easy to learn. The first-, second, and third-person are not used. Roughly vers are divided in to 3 groups according to their dictionary form (basic form - is the informal, present affirmative form of the verb. This form is used among close friends and family in informal situations. ).

Group 1: ~ U ending Verbs called Consonant-stem verbs or Godan-doushi (Godan verbs).

hanasu- to speak
kaku - to write
kiku - to listen
matsu - to wait
nomu - to drink

Group 2: ~ Iru and ~ Eru ending Verbs called Vowel-stem-verbs or Ichidan-doushi (Ichidan verbs).


~ iru ending
kiru - to wear
miru - to see
okiru - to get up
oriru - to get off
shinjiru - to believe

~ eru ending
akeru - to open
ageru - to give
deru - to go out
neru - to sleep
taberu - to eat

Some exceptions, verbs belong to Group 1, though they end with "~ iru" or "~ eru".

hairu - to enter
hashiru - to run
iru - to need
kaeru - to return
kagiru - to limit
kiru - to cut
shaberu - to chatter
shiru - to know

Group 3: Irregular Verbs only two irregular verbs, kuru (to come) and suru (to do).

The verb "suru" is probably the most often used verb in Japanese. It is used as "to do," "to make," or "to cost". It is also combined with many nouns (of Chinese or Western origin) to make them into verbs.

benkyousuru - to study
ryokousuru - to travel
yushutsusuru - to export
dansusuru - to dance
shanpuusuru - to shampoo

The ~ masu Form (Formal Form)
The suffix "~ masu" is added to the dictionary form of the verbs to make sentence polite. Aside from changing the tone, it has no meaning. This form is used in situations required politeness or a degree of formality, and is more appropriate for general use.

Woke at around 4 am the kitties were running around! I ended up on the pc until 6am... I woke up 10:50am and became alarmed because I had to be at the ENT clinic at 11am... I got there at 11:30am (taxi driver was pretty fast!) and saw the speech therapist and waited until 1:15pm to see the ENT doc. I told him about how my ears are constantly ringing, I cannot stand it any more. It's been 1 month 1/2, I been with this ringing.

So, he ended up giving me an app. to get a audio test. Hopefully, I don't have any loss, I am truly scared of that. I cannot loose also, my freaken hearing... Shit, I already wear glasses for goodness sakes!

On the 28th of Nov at 10am an app. to see an academic advisor. I need help on the school front! Old and confussed. Crap, what a dull gal I am... School full-time next year... Officially, I am registerred for my Japanese course on Tue and Wed at 18:00-20:00. Mailed the $285.00, yesterday.

Tonight, the Gym which will be so nice to forget everything and just concentrate on me... Going there makes me feel sort of good because I can listen to music and just forget about all that is bothering me.

On Dec. 9th 11am a Dermotologist app and at 6pm Carly goes for her booster vaccine at her Vets...

Called Maison Ethier and spoke to Melanie about the Commode it will be replace once they get it. Also the night table needs the screws which someone else, I think she said Robert, would call in 7-10 days to get an app to fix it.

Got ready to go meet her at 2nd Cup (3pm). I got there late as B-G didn't come on time and I had to take a cab there. He forgot and stayed longer talking to his collegues...

I got there she for the looks of it had gotten there just a bit before me. She was at putting sugar on her coffee... I got a small Chai latte which was yummy... We talked and she helped me with the phrases I had written a few days ago. She kept laughing at my phrases, that I don't know why. I over heard people speaking another language and I asked if it was Japanese and yep sure it was... She asked me how I could tell the different Asian languages I said that to me they sound different. All of them. I can tell who and what they are speaking. Not many westerners can tell, for the looks of it. I just have the thing of being able to tell... Which she said is a bit of a level up because then I would not get confussed.

We walked to Chapters and I got some Manga: #2 Fruits Basket, #3 xxxHolic, #3 Pita Ten, # 1 Mink... A rubber duckie kit for B-G x-mas gift basket, Oxford Japanese grammar & verbs, Barron's Japanese grammar and 501 Japanese Verbs...

We headed to Eaton's Centre to the food fair, she got herself a sandwhich and a coke which I went to change for her because it didn't taste like coke. She thank me and asked if I wanted to some I told her no thank you. We also talked about how jobs work her in the west. She seemed to think that all jobs here have bonuses and are kept for ever with the business taking care of the people like in Japan. I told her how some of the stuff works. She asked me if I wanted to go with her and her friend to a pottery painting place next Tuesday. It takes up to a week to do and its $10 for what ever piece you choose... She gave me her # and will call her to make the date.

She left and I headed to the Sony store and bought a AC power adaptor for my shower Cd/Radio player...

B-G came to pick me up and we headed to the west island where we had McD's at my old teenage hangout... Aaahhh, the memories, we also visited places where I use to hang out it was fun. Much has changed around that area...

I cannot believe he send me so much stuff... I thought he would send me something small... I thanked Tony from the bottom of my heart. He send me a really nice note from him and he signed all 4 books but 2 of them where personalized, I just love it! I got my packaged late afternoon of Nov. 18th. I had been sort of sad and depressed and just left it on the table... B-G asked who was this Tony guy? What is going on? He got a bit jealous but soon I told him the story of how I sort of know Tony and I ended up with the package...

I swear this man, judges if I am seeing someone else behind his back. I told him to please trust me and if I will cheat trust me I will break up with him before that happens... I did the two guy thing a while ago and it was just too stressful to keep it quiet. In the end I admitted to one what had happened and I crushed his heart completely... Anyways, that's another story...

Getting back to my story about my beautiful blooks... I finally opened my box, after mind you, Tony send me an email... I was just such a tart... I send him an email thanking him so very much... I have no idea but one of my favorite things to like have is gum, I don't leave home with out it. I have tried many but the Zapp one I have not! I didn't even try it when i was in LA last year... As I brought a box Canadian gum... No kidding... What ever so I am wierd, like I care...

I been using my 'Nothing in here is true' notepad like crazy. It's my Japanese phrase book, my calorie count book and my x-mas list book! It's great...

I also joined the Gym which was great! I finally, will loose these 30 punds that have been on my shoulders since I quit smoking 2yrs ago! I been obsessing over things that I shouldn't and now I will try to make myself feel better... I hate the fact that I am so out of shape. Í want to change my habits and get healthier... I also need to finish of my school... I have left it out for so long, I need a new brain. I been thinking stupid and idiotic things which no more... I have turned a new leaf and will be more happy in the end with it...

My dream sequence before wakin this morning was pretty normal compare to my other dreams. This one was about getting married and finding out that B-G's mom wanted to have 748 guests. I felt like crying.

As I was in the bathroom about to take shower, I decided to wash my hands as I turned the knob and a big burst of water from an exposed pipe to my left shot water all over the place. The wall started to crack and the only thing I could do was scream 'Help!' Who showes up but the Japanese guy... I looked at him and asked why he was here, how did he find me? I was so confussed and when we came out of the bathroom there was like 20 people just staring at us. We both were wet and on top of it all I was half dressed.

B-G and his parents just burst out with 'What's going on, here?' I tried to explain... B-g kept walking away from me. I tried to follow him but he kept walking so fast, the Japanese guy kept following me. And I felt so confussed... As I approached B-G and was about to say something the Japanese grabs my hand and turns me to him, I looked at him and turned my head for a sec and saw B-G looking at us with a puzzled face. As the Japanese guy embraced me towards him and was about to kiss me... The doorbell rang... I woke and answer the door it was a Jehova witness... I sort of took the panphlet from her and excused myself, as I had just woken up. She said sorry and left...

I could not go back to my dream and lay there trying to understand that dream... What the hell... What was that all about? But to my dismay I could not even go back to sleep... So I am here updating my blog...

I don't know how to start this...

The morning was good, B-G was next to me and we got woken up by the phone. The delivery was going to be made at around 10:30-40am... I had to call my speech therapist to get my app. for another time but she preferred to see me at the same time w/ my EarNoseThroat Doc... So the 25th at 11am will be my app...

The furniture got here... One of the delivery guys kept looking at me, made me feel self conscious. We found some defects to the furniture and they noted it. When they left we found another and let me tell you I was a bit angry and wanted to be return. We payed quite a sum for the pieces and one of the pieces that is damaged is worth 1400$, which is pretty expensive. B-G was like they can come and fix it. No, I want a new on!!! I called the store and complained and the night table will be fixed and the comode will be changed. It will take 3-4 weeks as they need to order it...

Called for the mattress and box spring... It will be delivered next Saturday the 26th... And on the 25th the dishwasher will be replaced... A whole new one, but the only thing I do not like is that the warranty will still be from Feb 2005 when we bought the one that died...

I did the most stupid thing... I cannot say what I did but I called Mondo to tell him but then I remember he's still at work. I need to talk to someone...

I spoke to my brother yesterday night for 1hr 1/2, the bill will be like huge! He knows a bit of Japanese I cant wait for him to arrive back home. Dates: Dec. 18 until Jan 5th... Great!!!

Sadness is consuming me and I cry as I write... It's foggy... Can I make sense of my feelings... what is wrong, why do I feel something is missing and something aches in my heart. The ache doesn't abate, why??? I listen to this song over and over again and it subsides my sadness...

I know, I know, I know...
by Tegan and Sara
From hundreds of miles you cry like a baby
You plead with me, shout, scream, tell me I'm staying
I know I know I know, I'm still your love

Back from the last place that I wanted to fake you
Laugh with me, shout, scream now tell me you're staying
I know I know I know, you're still my love

The same as I love you, you'll always love me too
This love isn't good unless it's me and you
Box after box and you're still by my side
The weather is changing and breaking my stride
I know I know I know, it's just this day

House after house, just like car after car
You see club after club and it all seems so far
I know I know I know what else are we here for

The same as I love you, you'll always love me too
This love isn't good unless it's me and you
Stick your hands inside of my pockets
Keep them warm while I'm still here
Tell them this love hasn't changed me, hasn't changed me at all

Last night I was writing about you
I know my screaming and shouting won't keep you
I know I know I know, you're still my love

I wake up to the sound of you working
You're one room right over, stressing and loving me
I know I know I know, be still my love

The same as I love you, you'll always love me too
This love isn't good unless it's me and you
Stick your hands inside of my pockets
Keep them warm while I'm still here
Tell them this love hasn't changed me, hasn't changed me at all

Stick your heart inside of my chest
Keep it warm here while we rest
Tell them this love hasn't changed me, hasn't changed me at all

(Repeat twice)
The same as I love you, you'll always love me too
This love isn't good unless it's me and you


Am I being so stupid to feel so sorry for myself. I should be so happy, there is so much that I should be so greatful for.

This blanket of sadness has covered my heart and doesn't seem to want to let go.

Check this out... Instead of making pouring it into the individual cups and making a mess, like I always do. This is a great idea by Scuzzi/Alice.. I will be trying it out this weekend... Yep! A project for the weekend!!! Yummm... Can't wait! B-G will love it!

I want a piece right now, yumm with my coffee.... Aaaahhhh, drool, drool! ;-|~

iTune downloads galore... I bought over 15$ dollars of misc music! I also send Apple a msg asking them to allow to buy music from the Japanese Store... I would love to get some of the music!

I still love Ashburn by Yano Maki! Downloaded this song for free at music.download.com! I have learn the words in Japanese... I love it!! I got the lyrics from corichan, iTunes has a place where to place the lyrics which is great!!

While looking at my flickr contacts new photos came upon karl a guy that is going to Japan in a few weeks. Lucky man! I send him an email asking him where to find a good school to learn Japanese because at Concordia there is only one and don't offer other levels... Hopefully, he doesn't think I am like totally crazy...

Our bed was delivered yesterday... It was assembled and looks just beautiful... Pure Maple, we had asked the bed-maker to tint it the same color as the furniture we bought at La Maison Ethier... Tomorrow the furniture comes finally...

We are totally crazy, we just realizy that the furniture and the bed come out to be almost 6 grand... That's not including the mattress and box spring... This is a lot for furniture but it's worth it... I LOVE IT!!! I cannot wait to sleep in that gorgeous bed...

A little secret... We also got pillows that were more then a hundred dollars, but the sleep is wonderful. We don't have back problems like we did we the 40 buck pillows... I am happy that we got the 'Tempur' pillows. They are memory pillows, apparently NASA originally developed the foam technology to relieve the enormous force of gravity at liftoff.

Been reading about Hitomi and Ayumi at wikipedia...

Goddess featured me on her today's post which I appreciate so very much... Much love goes to her... I have helped her support her CD/lyrics donation... Please check her out she is an amazing person!!

I been reading about rss, xml, ect... laa... And got plugins for Firefox Sage and Pluck! Heard the #23rd Podcast of Otaku Generation! Amazing like always, Robin was not there, sucky! They are truly funny... I went to one of their links they have on there... Reading about dating in Japan at the Japan Times, the GOKON - Compa (a form of blind date) ritual! Western men can easily at times get dates but for western women who are seen as either teachers or Roppongi is much harder. The western woman has to more or less take the lead. Yikes! I'm so fascinated by this, curiousity has been part of my life and that's why at times I get into a bit of trouble, but not bad... When I was 22-23 I sort of went to a hotel room with 2 guys and made out very heavily with one of them and in the morning took them home to eat! Thank god nothing happened, when I told my friends, I thought one was going to have a heart attack from what I had said... I am not that crazy anymore grew up! Oh, my younger years, I miss them some times...

The Otaku Generation Podcasts are the freaken best/greatest! I love it!! So hooked!! It's all about what I am interested in. There is so much information! I love it!

Found out that G4TechTV was turned down by the CRTC to show anime on their channel! I cannot understand that, they are so freaken crazy!! What is so wrong with anime! That is just plain stupid!!

Here in Quebec we get like 10 real anime shows on YTV! I watch:
Inuyasha-9pm/Fri, 11pm/Mon-Thr, which is my favorite and runs in sequence on Fridays with new episodes and Mon through Thurs. with out a sequence.
Naruto-9:30pm/Fri, it's ok but found out on OG podcast that there are really alot of episode so far around 80 something...
Gundam Seed-10pm/Fri, 11:30pm/Tue, it keeps running with out sequence...
ZatchBell-8pm/Fri, I kinda like it.
.hack/SIGN-10:30pm/Fri, also keeps running with out sequence...
Ghost in a Shell: Stand Alone Complex-12am/Fri, 11:30pm/Thr, runs twice a week and it's comingto and end but it will probably run the same as .hack/SIGN and Gundam Seed.
Witch Hunter Robin-1am/Fri, 11:30pm/Wed, runs twice a week... And then there's Mew Mew Power (7:30am, 1:30pm Sun), Avatar: The Last Airbender (11:30am/Sat) , Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi (10:30am, 5:30pm/Sat, 4:30/Thr), Teen Titans (4pm/Mon-Fri, 9am/Sat) and Shaman King (12:30pm/Sat) which I watch once in a while. And the only ones during the day, all the regular ones that I watch are at night time usually pass 11pm... I dont watch the DragonBall, DragonBall GT & Dragonball Z animes, Hamtaro or D.I.CE.

My alternative is buying it... Which I have been doing for a while...

Today was sorta kinda blah... It's been snowing all day... the first blanket of winter... hee... Uploaded pics to flickr... I posted a it all at the kitties blog...

Read blogs... Goddess was the best! She invited me to gmail and now finally have one... I am so happy... I made her a little something but I also asked her maybe she can put a donate botton on her site to get her CDs payed for and maybe released sooner. I would be one of those people to donate... Plus, if she does that she may be able to put her lyrics onto her CD cover... that would be amazing!

I also got a new comment from nosthegametoo... A 26yr old from Chicago whose a cancer! He writes amazingly... he has 2 (x x) sites... I need to go and read some more... I got caught up on his posts for a bit and he is going onto my reads... heee...

I can't believe is 11:45pm almost midnight... B-G will becoming home soon... heee... He brought yummy lunch this afternoon! Thai food! Yumm!! heee...

I want to get this song: Dhoom Dhoom Machale by Sunidhi Chauhan, Indian song! I love all sorts of music...

Today I called Brault and Martineau for them to deliver the mattress and box spring! They said to call Friday! Dang! The bed will be delivered tomorrow... Ahhh, they're going to have to build it and we need to pay the $1400 for it, in cash! Everything else is paid for, thank god... The furniture from Maison Ethier will be delivered this Friday! The closet (ClosetMaid) will be done the first week of Dec. We also still need to look into the closet doors... We were thinking maybe of Sohji/Shoji doors... They are beautiful, but may cost a mint!

Woke to the sound of Mitsuru meowing like a mad cat! ThenI went to check the back balcony and found that the sliding door screen had fallen over night and was banging on the balcony railing... I had just woken up and the only thing I could think of was to bring it in... Now is resting in B-G's den... Wait til he comes home and sees what I did... He will probably put it up once again. Started to think this condo is falling apart at the seems... The walls are cracking the floors uneven, the front door gets stuck, the bathroom door doesn's lock plus it has not know, the closet doors to the water heater and laundry are broken, the intercome and bathroom fan is short circuitted, the kitchen floor is peeling off, the windows in the front let air in, both balconies need the rust removed, the floors need to be repaired, the fireplace needs a mantle, th bathroom floor has 2 of the tiles broken and I can go on an on but I am getting really depressed just thinking about all the stuff this place needs to be repaired... With our luck with renovation companies, I am now starting to get scared! Ahhh...

On a lighter note, I went blog-reading... The Goddess will be coming out with her CD in a few months!! I am so very happy for her!! Finally, all her duckies are getting in a row!! CONGRATS to her!! OLDCATMAN has the funniest post today... He made me laugh so hard! heee... Suzie had a very interesting post which I was thinking of getting a few recipes and voila she had a help me post! Sometimes, I get these easy finds which make me feel lucky, thanks to Suzie's post. Bloopy and Greg haven't posted in a while missed them... WTF is finally going for her training! Tim has been quite busy with Lady Jane, she's getting prettier and prettier as time passes and he puts so much hard work in her! I am rooting for him... He is a very lucky man but he works for what he wants truly hard! You go boy!!!! Bex has a new layout but I still see all her broken images... She has the 'don't direct link' message images all over her site... Hope she fixes it so I can see her beautiful design! I love the bunny with the cig in his mouth as part of her logo!!! Sweet!! And at Long's I went on a small rant about spam!! AAHHH!!! I HATE SPAM!!!

Got's to go B-G just came in with freshly made begals!! The best!!! YUM!!!!

well, the day started out normal... just passing through sites and listening to my podcast that I love!! Then a phone call to Mondo to see how's he feeling... He's still has his cold but atleast its almost the end... He won't be seeing his beautiful cute neice! :( So very sad...

Then decided to call for take-out! B-G was gone to his 12hr shift. I ordered Indian, as he asked... My cell rang, answered and it was Yoji... Asking what was I up to and if I was free... Ok, bored and with no one to really spend time with... I kinda said nothing and decided to meet him... Watched "La Portrait de Petite Cossette." Which I bought on Thursday when I met Miki... I spend like 300$ in pure anime. I have yet to disclosed this info to B-G... Yikes, he will have a heart attack... I will ease him into it! Then I asked that I wanted to watch Kamikaze Girls, I was so happy when he said 'I'll burn it for you'... Now, I just finished watching it and I love the song 'Hello My Friend' which is in Japanese... I want the soundtrack and I want to buy the real CD... I wonder what the extras are... heee... heee... I will ask my brother to get it for me while he's in Japan but I have to make sure it can play here in N.A. Region = All...

Brought my laptop and watched because his was downloading stuff... Came home an prepared food for B-G... he called me to tell me if I wanted something he was at the grocery store downtown, the only one open at midnight... He got me oatmeal yummy cookies... They will be great with a coffee tomorrow morning, yum can't wait to have one...

When to visit Jen and she had a link to a site which you can make lucky star wishes... Sweet... And I need to check out the RSS thing... Dang! Visit Tony and Suzie which her last post doesn't make sense??? Clicked on the url but nothing? JenJen put me straight about the list of her brothers... I thinking it was on his site... *maizzy knock on her head a few times... OLDCATMAN has the cutest story of a green puppy name Wasabi, but also has a dreadful story about a teacher who pleaded guilty of exploiting children. And out of jail w/out a bond!!!!! Unbelievable, what is this world coming to!! I am totally disgusted by this!!!!!

Thanks to otaku generation podcast #22 I found out about a rootkit, which was found by a programmer and blogger name Mark Russinovich on October 31, that Sony has implimented on 20 of its CDs to protect them. The problem is that the antipiracy technology can be abused by viruses which Windows PCs. There's been a variant of the Breplibot Trojan circulating that takes advantage of the file "$sys$drv.exe" in the Windows system directory. However, Sony has made the files visible but if you try to delete them it can be illegal.There is a class-action lawsuit which was filed las week in Los Angeles by a Southern California attorney representing California consumers. My best bet is to NOT to BUY Sony CDs! Until the matter is settled.

Waiting on the 'Kamikaze Girls' (trailer, review 1, review 2) dvd that may eventually make its way to the west!! The Gothic Lolita style, that is in Japan! Japanese seem to be very addicted to the brand new stlyles that no one else has either tried or invented!

This movie is totally cute and I still have yet to see it in its entirety! Pretty interesting! The Jap-guy introduced me to this movie and for that I am thankful to him! I still also want to get the movie 'NANA.' Based on a manga which I have seen samples of it and I don't like the type of drawings... Too yucky for me, I am more into the look of doll like and cuteness of with big eyes... Heee, Heee...

A few changes to my regular reads:
* JAG's blog is now on her new domain name JustAGirl!
* chicken little has also moved and has created a very asian feeling! Yummy!!!

I spoke to my sister, I offered to go with her in early Dec to go get her things from her ex in SC... He finally has moved on with someone else... He never kept his promise to send my sis back her things so now she has to drive 8hrs to get her stuff! She will be going during her time off from her job. Been trying to get intouch with my bro to no avail... I and B-G didn't vote for the new Mayor! Whatever!! I will be meeting the Japanese lady on thurs at 2pm either at a metro or a coffee shop... What ever she dicides I am ok with that! The jap-guy has dissapear from the face of the earth and I relaly don't care... He so into his shit that maybe that he has no time anymore to teach me! Plus, he's very advance in English and doesn't really need any practice. My thinking is that he wanted more then a LE person! ASS!!

I also, been trying to call Mondo, it was his b-day on the 6th!! Hope he passed it good! Will have our Lost call tomorrow night! I'll try to call him tonight to see if he's in!

Scrapbooking has been a fad of mine since last year when B-g and I took our vacation in California for 3weeks... I found a scrapbooking store and I was hooked... Got a few embellishments and a Mrs. Grossman's scrapbook and I was set! To start my vacation photo album!! Now I am doing the TO trip of 2003! I have collected many things now! But I still need a good cutting tool or machine that can help me! Caught up with my podcasts from Odeo and been listening to japan-a-radio on iTunes everyday! I am hooked... Sometimes go on to the wnetwork to play mahjong... It's addictive!!

Finally watched Inuyasha the 3rd movie, which I bought a few weeks ago... I been so into other things...

what a pain in the ass... I just lost a post! damn!!! Stupid Opera, it said it uploaded the post and then when i went to check it! It was the old version of my post! Sucks to be me!!!!!!

This afternoon I got a called from Bonidee and my stensils are in... I wanted to go so bad and get them but B-G was out and about... I waited and go dressed... He came home and cooked himself something to eat and we headed out the door as the store closed at 6pm.

I got my stensils and a new little gadget 'eyelets' to put on my pages... plus, got a few other pages, a embossing pen, a red embossing powder and stickers for my scrapbook. I need to take in my scrapbooks to see what kind of pages go on them. Plus, i need to buy another crapbook... Have also joined a few Yahoo scrapbooking groups which have shown me tons of new fonts and other strategies of doing a theme page! Pretty fun!!!

Watched Inuyasha, Naruto, Webdreams, Sin Cities and Family Business... And opened all my goodies... Oh we even headed to Best Buy as we needed an extra power cord for the office that by the way I cleaned somewhat yesterday. Not completely clean as there is so much crap there and B-G doesn't want to get rid off... AAAHHH, don't get me started, I feel he is a pack-rat and I have gotten over that and want only new things... That is why I shop until I drop... Ohh, I got '50 First Dates' Soundtrack... It was nice listening to it on our way home...

Been doing some scrapbooking surfing [digital freebies, digital scrapbooking] and found 2 machines which I look pretty nifty they are by Xyron. The Xyron Personal Cutting System cuts shapes and prints them out... Pretty cool... The Wishblade does somewhat the same thing. Gut the Personal Cutting System looks cuter but its already on backorder until March... Plus, its less money I guess because you don't use it with a PC. I bought a year ago a Xyron sticker maker which is cute, its in a shape of an 'X.'

I am tired... I went to bed at 5 am this morning and woke at 9:40am... Haven't gone to sleep... Sleep is good...

For the past 3 days I been trying to upload my post! Blogger didn't allow me to post nothing, something to do with error found in Java... bla... bla... What a pain in the behind!! Now finally, I am trying to upload my post from the 1st!

So the day went ok... I cleaned and re-organized B-G clothes, it took me for ever. I was so tired and my back is been in pain for the last few hours... But atleast most of B-G stuff that he wanted to be organized I did and I also got some of my scrapbooking stuff done!

I got an email from Tony which brighten my day! I will be waiting for his blook Stiff #2 'The Stairs' version because it's out of print! I am so happy for him that his sales are going so great! I order my 3 books, I even asked him if he had them in hard-cover but Cafepress doesn't publish on hard-cover. Still I am happy! heee... It reminded me of a the Seinfeld episode of Kramer and his coffee table book!

I went around and checked out 2 new blogs: rajamya and asian media critics. Also I been looking for a good Electronic Japanese Dictionary which has Romaji input and output! I found the 'Trilingual Talking Electronic Dictionary GD-128' & 'Partner-EJ400T' which caught my eye... Still, its more gear to the Japanese person instead of the English person who wishes to learn.... AAAHHH!!!'I have to really look around...

My cable provider is been giving free channels for a month and I have been hooked on G4TechTV! I found from callforhelp that Microsoft has a project called 'Strider HoneyMonkey.' Microsoft, apparently, isn't sharing the malicious sites they find with other browsers (Firefox, Opera, etc...) that exploits browser vulnerabilities, but they have band the sites with malicious code from MSN. I found this so useful for someone like me who is petrified of being screwed by others... I found that the honeypot has been used to detect early viruses before they spread and other malicious code.... So, now I been reading project research notes and all that stuff... Pretty fun!

I been thinking of switching to Linux as there is a very pretty interesting browser called 'Konqueror' it has some pretty nifty tricks like if you go to a web page and its in another language it translates it right there on the spot it uses babelfish. I will be getting 'Moving to Linux: Kissing the Blue Screen of Death Goodbye!' by Marcel Gagné which also heard it from callforhelp. Apparently, you can install Linux on a Mac called yellow dog linux, so now I could get to know it better on a my pc and then try it out on my new Mac that I will be getting after the holidays!! YAH!!! Yes, that will be one of my major yummy gifts... I also would love to get a sewing machine! But I don't know if I should wait for the one's I am looking at to go down in price!

I made a few cards for peeps... I know some don't celebrate but I didn't want to forget them. I don't have everyone's emails. So, that was my mid-morning spend on... I had fun making them...

I went to see Yoji and we studied Japanese. He looked really tired but studying was fun! It was short 1hr 1/2... I need to study alot! Heee.... Heee...

I need to send an email to Jen at cutsie.net to ask her about the kawaii-SASE thing!! I bought a box but how do I buy the freaken stamps for it! AAAHHH... I am such a looser sometimes... Yikes!
