Nerding Out in NYC

Another adventure occurred last weekend. Mike, my partner in adventuring, and I camped out in NYC with Kathy and a few of her friends to get into the Nintendo Power 20th anniversary party. The magazine told us that the first 400 people in line with an issue of Nintendo Power would get in for free, but they lied about that. I think they basically let in as many people as that place could handle at once. I went mostly because I saw it as a perfect opportunity to battle some kids inside Nintendo World in Pokemon Battle Revolution, and Mike wanted to just get some free stuff. You know, nerds.

The camping out overnight was completely unnecessary, but super fun. I got to finally trade some Pokemon with people (I am now the proud owner of a Munchlax), battled some people (got the shit kicked out of my team), drank a bit, saw the sunrise, met some people from Florida, and saw some cute kids in costumes. I honestly had a good time, and embarrassingly enough it made me feel a little younger than I actually am for once. Once we finally got inside in the morning we got a shopping bag of free stuff (a wiimote keychain that I owned at one point, some gay trading cards for three games, plain stylus's, just, nothing good) and walked around a bit looking at the games they had to play. I headed straight for Pokemon central, only to find that THE WII THAT HAD POKEMON BATTLE REVOLUTION ON IT HAD BEEN REMOVED AND NO POKEMON GAMES WERE BEING PLAYED. My heart was broken. I turned on my DS a few times to see if anyone was battling or something just to see if there were some rouge trainers, but no luck. At that point I completely gave up on the event, and decided to stand with the goods and wait for Mike to finish having a good time.

There was some free food there which was kinda rad, rice krispy treats and cheese sammiches and french toast sticks and stuff, and at one point when I was getting very irritated Mike brought me a bag of sour patch kids, and man, just sometimes a guy can do a thing that doesn't seem to be that big of a deal but really is.. so there you have your "i love mike" moment of this adventure. Eventually he realized there was nothing much to do around the place, so we headed out the door. THAT is when I saw Mr. Zack Morris himself, the kids from the Wizards of Waverly Place (sans Selena Gomez, but fuck her, she sucks), COREY IN THE HOUSE (meant to be read loudly) and the kids from Run's House. and the mom. You can see them in the pictures. I really wanted to try to stay to get my picture taken with them or something, but they were taking pictures with "special" children and what not so I figured they would not be even trying to think about taking a picture with a 28 year old woman-child so.. we left.

The funniest part of this whole adventure was the walk back to the train station. We looked homeless. I'm not kidding. We were smelly, wet, ugly, fuck, you ever see those couples in train stations with backpacks and they look like they haven't showered in weeks and they're tired and you just don't even want to look at them because you know they need money? Yeah, that was us. We got so many looks. As tired and miserable as I was, that really entertained me. Oh, and there was a street fair there which was cool cause Mike bought me a parasol on the way back which I got to use the next day at the Septemberfest (uneventful).

The train ride home was half cute because there were brown toddlers in front of me and an annoying cunt behind me talking on the phone, not in a polite tone of voice way but in a FUCK EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS TRAIN IM TALKING TO MY BEST FRIEND CINDI (i dont really know what the girls name she was talking to was) voice. It was horrible. Mike and I talked a lot of shit out loud, maybe she heard us, maybe she didn't, but if I wasn't so tired I probably would have done something else. Actually, I probably wouldn't have. I don't really know. Maybe.

So you can see pictures from the night here, they're not very interesting save for the pics of the kids in mario costumes (I thought the really small kids sitting in NYC playing DS were really adorable), the buizel costume (eerily I found this kind of sexy) and the celebrities. The first picture is of me and mike on the train, because we waited a good hour and a half for one. They almost made us take the train to Trenton and then back up to NYC. They didn't though. Some ladies were really angry about that. Eh, public transit.

People in Japan don't have to deal with that kind of shit, unless someone kills themselves on the train tracks.

So, in other news, Japanese classes have started again for me and I'm having a good time.

In sadder news, we are currently mourning the passing of one of our furry family members, Jordan the hamster. She had some kind of skin infection that was obviously putting her in a lot of misery and pain, so the decision was made to put her down. Send Mike your love, because he was a great hammy daddy, and he loved her so much.

J-Money, you were the cutest hamster we had ever seen. love.

funny image thursday!

The network's caption says it all.

WTF? This isn't even something off of engrish.com. Mail sent to Mike.

Summer of Sober Sara

This is a long entry because its been awhile since I've filled the internet in on whats been going on in my life.

I went back up to the Walton campsite for a weekend with my dad, which turned out to be half a disaster and half a good time.

Bad News: We were lured up there with the promise of being able to use a tractor and rock out some land digging, but the trailer never made it. Traffic sucked. I heard the weekend after the whole thing broke down too. I got real sick and threw up a lot on Saturday morning. We went to fly a remote control plane and it ended up getting broken. My dad did not sleep well and he seemed to be pretty miserable the whole time.

Good News: We got to see some deer up close. I went on a really awesome ATV tour through the back woods with my pops. A guy and I caught a frog. We got drunk. I got to go to Panda's Parlor and got ice cream (panda tracks) and a panda water bottle and panda coffee.

Overall the trip was pretty regular, but it was nice to get out there for awhile. I plan on going back up with some people to camp on the hill because I've definitely sworn off sleeping in the trailer, but lack of money and really knowing who would be interested has kept me from getting my shit together.

Secondly, Mitsuwa had a summer festival fair, and Tina Dan and Xander and I went up to check it out. I was supposed to hang out with people from Japanese class while I was there, but it didn't work out as such - by the time they called me to hang out we had already left, me being tired and cranky and really ready to just pack up and leave for vacation. We got to see some taiko drumming, which was spectacular. We also ate some gyoza, beef bowls, ice cream mochi and the likes. I mean overall it was pretty nice, but it was crowded (as always, and that place is just not super for crowds), and hot. I spent more money than I should have. More than anything it was good to get Xander up there to see something that he hadn't before, mingling with the Japanese kids and what not. To tell the truth the only thing I was thinking about the whole time was

VAACAAATIIOOONNNN

Mike and I left for the outerbanks (duck, NC) that night, around 3am. I was throwing up during most of the drive there because I had drank a few shots before I went to bed and well that is just normal for me these days it seems, but Mike was able to drive most of the way there.

We had a really good time.

I won't bore you with details, because there aren't really actually, we did not much but lay around and play video games and watch the Olympics. We went parasailing, went to the ocean once, and took a day trip to Ocracoke which is an awesome island south of Hatteras. Here's the pictures I took.

I've been to the outerbanks twice now, and I've always wanted to stay north near Kitty Hawk and what not, but now that I have I know why Holly has always gone to Hatteras. Its just better there, calmer, less kids, etc. We're already planning on going back next year, but this time I'm bringing my dog, and more people. It was super nice to be there with just Mike because we had never really spent that kind of time together, but we both agreed it would have been more awesome with more friends. That way I could have gone fishing, and he would have someone else to pummel in Smash Brothers Brawl.

Here's some of our pictures from the vacation!

600x800+Monday= frownyface

I had to change my screen resolution to 600x800 today. It turns out that the client in Florida for some .. bizarre? .. inexplicable? .. totally fucked up!! reason has their screen at that resolution. My parents don't even have their screen at that resolution (though theirs at 1024x768 isn't a huge improvement).

I'm not one to sit and bark about how people should all have their screen resolutions at some high obscene number or anything like that, but if you're seriously using a computer at 600x800 at this point in time I think it might be a good idea to kind of sit back and reassess why it is that you even own a computer in the first place.

Tina and I made an awesome cake.

My boyfriend's sister and I are friends. I helped her with her son's fifth birthday party. It was a medieval times theme. It was pretty fun. We did a lot of prep for it, though a lot of it was totally unnecessary.

The best part was the cake. Tina used the internet and found out how to make a dragon cake. She baked it, but we both put it together and decorated it. Man, it was rad.







The wings are made of sticks and fruit rollups. Tina had the brilliant idea of using pineapple leaves as dragon spikes.

The cake was really really good. Of course, the kids were pretty impressed.
