. . . . . it takes two wings to truly fly . . . . .

WOO YANKEES.

Was on the way home from the movie premiere, walking down Broadway. CHECKING OUT BAR WINDOWS TRYING TO SEE THE SCORE.

Noticed the huge ass TV in the heart of Times Square broadcasting it. Remembered one year ago tonight the election was being broadcasted and thus was packed. Sort of went OH DUH.

DECIDED TO JOIN THE PARTY GOING ON. GOOD TIMES.

Today I went to get a new winter jacket. As I have had the old one for ... years. And thus the down isn't even all there anymore so it's not doing its job. Woot being ghetto. Anyway after that, I dropped by the nearby Best Buy to look around, and saw the camera I had my eye on for cheaper than it was online. So obviously I got it. And then took some pics!

( A few tests as I tweaked with settings and the auto and stuff. )

In other news I ... should have maybe asked this sooner. But is anybody going to NYAF on Friday? I am, but really only checking out dealers room and catching a couple of panels (namely the DisorgXIII ones) between work, since I'm not taking off.

On a similar note, if anybody is interested. I have been interested in going for a while, and finally got my ticket today after passing the place like 4 times and seeing that huge, gorgeous model in the window. Next Wednesday I am catching the 2:00 exhibit for the Titanic Artifact Exhibition, if anybody wants to come with. I picked up a flyer on the way home, and once I read reconstructions of the cabins and the grand staircase, I was like wtf why haven't I already GONE to this it is literally on my block but up near Broadway.

COMPUTER CAME OOOOH MY GOD IT'S SO NEW AND SHINY AND HOLY SHIT THIS MONITOR--

All of my layouts are so tiny on it, what is this. D: I-is that how they always looked to other people because oh my gosh.

Of course my transfer cable doesn't work, because my old computer does not have enough RAM to run it. >_>; I have a 1GB chip and a USB port that I use for my R4, so I am transferring things slowly with that. Which is all good, but ... still. Lame, I need to sell this cable now since I can't even use it.

The speakers were oddly my biggest surprise. I had a left and right speaker, and was like "... why is this box so big then?" There is a huge huge sub speaker thing included with it.

NOW I NEED TO GET PROGRAMS AND STUFF AGAIN ... like PSP and PS and ... everything ever ... sob!! This will be fun.

Okay so other than this possibly death cough I have had all week (it is not a cold I have no idea what it is other than random coughing at random intervals (like right now I am fine). Last night at work I had a crazy coughing fit from some tickle THING or something in my throat and could not stop orz. Right in the middle of the show. I had to run upstairs to get water to try and calm it down).

Today we stopped at the Salvation Army because mom was there last week, and found this entertainment center for the TV/games as well as a bunch of computer chairs. We went, and they had this one chair ... it was like the dream chair I was looking for and in great condition. High back, fake leather, cushy, only slightly worn (unlike the one we had, which has the back all torn and shredded thanks to a certain cuddlebutt cat). First it was $20, then when the guy came back about it, he said it was $15. I was just oh my God HELL YES rolling it home right from here please.

But the entertainment center mom was talking about I did not like. I did however love this other one that was in great condition and cheaper than the first. Also it was just what I was keeping an eye out for and had no luck finding other than over 9000 dollars. So I said okay you know what, DEBIT CARD. Buying this bitch now while I can since IT IS PERFECT. Delivery for it is in about two weeks. I am quite pleased with these two amazing finds since I've been looking for both of these things for a long time. And they were a lot cheaper than what they usually go for, and seemingly hardly used. Loving the chair so much right now.

THANK YOU GOD. According to the lady on the phone, everything with the phonecalls and the Stuff I had to take care of was taken care of. I just have to have someone come by and give me my stuff back as I give him his papers and stuff back. So phew, one less thing to want to scream like a little bitch and punch dicks about.

In other news, RE5 was leaked the other day, apparently. Thankfully everybody is cool about spoilers, since I'm still going on my merry way with no problems. o/ People rule. And anybody on my flist who watched the live streams/videos being tossed around, I hope you had fun and liked it! I cannot wait to squee with you, as tempting as the temptation is to go watch the videos. >D But I can hold out. (I HAVE SELF CONTROL, SEE) And my OST was shipped out as well, so I should be getting that soon, yay! I really can't wait for it, some of the tracks seem so epic.

Also Looooost is on tonight~ What do I predict? Lots of "OMG" and "WHAT" and "is it next Wednesday yet :("

Firstly, Resident Evil Retrospective 2!! Featuring RE2 and RE3. Aaaah I love these videos so much. NEMESIS. ♥ On the Resident Evil front, THIA forums also apparently have huge, HUGE spoilers. Huger than those ones I last posted, I would think. Recently in ... I think it was California? There was a special event where people got to play through some of the game. I didn't read the spoilers, so please don't comment here with them! But if you're curious about them and want to see, they are over there for all. With RE5 getting closer, I want to back off now and wait to play it. :3 The stuff I read already was enough to pump me up. ONLY ABOUT A MONTH GUYS AAAH.

There's also a new Kijuju blog update~

NEW TRAILER

My favorite comment to that video is the "do my ass chris, please"

I ... also want to post about other stuff but fail at getting things typed up. Mainly Lost stuff. Does "AAAAH" "OH MY GOD" "HOLY SHIT" "FUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKK" "sdkljfklsjfkls" and "WHAT?!" sum it up enough? Cause that is basically me every week. I am never going to pick apart the eps at this rate since there have been 5 already. XD MY BACKLOG, SOB. But holy balls I love this show so much.

The other day I went to get my social security fixed. We had known my name was mispelled on it but ... apparently forgot all about it. So when I went to file for my taxes, the problem came up so I was like WHOOPS. It was quick and done with now and everything should be in the green soon. Which I am happy for, because that money = my new computer which I desperately need more and more every day. On that note, another "I am a dumbass!" question: transferring files from one computer to another - easiest way? Is there like, a special USB cord or something I can hook them to each other with and move files or something. ): Just for future reference.

On the way home from that, I stopped in the Amish Market, and holy balls they had MULLIGATAWNY SOUP. Back when I worked in the now much hated food service, I became terribly addicted to the stuff. It is DELICIOUS and FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. I screamed, I got some. I want more already. I hope they have it there often.

And today! I met up with anatari, brittyone and advil and we had so much fun. We went clothes shopping - I got stuff! I was amazed at myself. I fail so hard at buying clothes. We went to a Maid Cafe and nnnnnngh. The way the inside of that place smelled, I was in heaven. It was so hypnotic and I wanted to sit in there all day and get high. The tea was amazing. We went to advil's after that and hobo'd around for a while, put on makeup and touched people on IRC. I also got a lion. \o/

There was a yard and this BIG LION DOLL IN A TREE. And I was like omg it is so cute I want it! When we were walking back to go home, we passed it again, and once again I was like aaaah I want it! ... so Jae and Pell take it out of the tree, and the guy in the house comes out to let his dog in. And they are like "CAN WE HAVE THIS" and ... the guy said yes. SO NOW I OWN A REALLY LARGE, ADROABLE LION DOLL. Pell took a picture of me with it. \o/ We went for bubble tea after that and then headed home. I had a super time, and I cannot wait for the next meetup!

It has been a fun week and will continue to be until about next Tuesday! I've been going to brittyone's because we're watching Den-O/Kiva and SEED together. There is touching as this happens. As well as me crying over Seki Toshihiko talking about climaxing because I hear the voice and I picture Klueze saying it. IT HURTS ME IN MY SOUL.

Thursday or Friday (or both, maybe?) I am going to hang with Joseph and whoever else he calls who is free and we are gonna maybe do his house as well as either Tad's or Tad's old hostel. I ENVISION ASS GRABBING AND OTHER FUN TIMES.

Saturday morning/early afternoon is another protest! And Saturday night/Sunday is a Kentity meetup (as well as MAH BIRFDAY) where we will has a shiny_karu for me to Yzakgrump at. I am going to be touched a lot apparently, and offered bagelsex since um I am now a CFUD mod omfg!!150! Bagelmod to be specific sob you guys. I am excited and dkljfkls and omg. I am still boggling.

I have no idea what the hell is up on Monday but Tuesday is Obama's Inauguration and I know we are doing something then at Joseph's. So yes, I am excited. And trying to do things since I am lacking of things to do because of no work. It is a pretty lame feeling! :( And funny when you compare it to school getting out for the summer. "School's over! I'm free!" as opposed to "Work's over! I'm fucked."

Cody has been acting differently, too. He has been a lot more attentive to my mom (much to her joy. "HE WAKES ME UP AT 6AM MEOWING IN MY FACE OR LAYING ON ME ALL MORNING" I love my kitty. :D) who is noticing this and thinking he feels bad for her lack of furryfriend. Either that or he is showing that he is now ruler of our house. Or maybe both, knowing his mood-swinging ass. He's also, upon seeing a bit of bunched up blanket when my mom is sleeping or resting, pouncing it and then going "??" because he's used to the dog always being there. :( (he enjoyed playing "I AM THE TIGER AND YOU ARE MY PREY" with him)

And orz. My second copy of Degeneration from amazon finally got here. I had never gotten the first one, and the tracking claimed it to be delivered. When I emailed amazon about it, they sent me another one right away for no additional charge. I was surprised! And very happy. Except for not being able to read the trivia or small text - how fucking big do TVs need to be for that?! We don't have an HD but usually that's not a problem. So I am like wtf lame. :( I did love the bloopers though, Claire's RAGE being the best. And of course anything with ♥Frederic♥.

And I cannot sleep, and considering it's almost 7 and my plans for me and mom today start at 9 I am going to need a caffeine boost later. And hopefully drop early tomorrow night to get back on track somewhat. But either way, I am pumped for these plans! I get the oddest urges at the oddest times for things. Like "WE NEED TO GO BUY ONE OF THESE NOW."

And omg the Kijuju blog updated again. ADAM IS MY DREAM MAN.

Resident Evil, never stop being your badass self.

It's not so much the new info-type site I loved even though I loved Chris's Hurpy Durpy ID card. And that his signature looks like Chris Redfruld. CHRIS CAN SPELL GUD.

It's this Kijuju blog and by God the userpic of the guy speaks for itself. Resident Evil takes itself so super serial. I would marry Adam. If he is not in a cameo or something in the game I will cry. THIS IS WHY EVERYBODY NEEDS TO GET INTO THIS AMAZING SERIES. (I need to finish updating my pimp post on Carlos's journal this week)

ETA: MORE TRANSLATIONS

( And now one translations from the first site and some talk about the blog. )

In other news, last night I went to Joseph's and we had a bunch of people over. It was so much fun and I didn't get home until ... like 6:40am - and we didn't even have any drinks there really, we just chilled out and acted like special snowflakes. Of course that killed me, sleep-wise so I missed out on going downtown earlier today, but Jennifer is coming over tonight, I think, as well as everyone from last night so I look forward to another night like that again. \o\

THURSDAY
- It is Christmas! Merry Christmas everybody, I hope it was a good one.
- Mom came up to cousin's house with me. Aunt and Uncle were there too - we cooked, ate, opened presents.
- Presents!
- Work!

And that is the end of the meme. :3

But yes, last night I went to Joseph's again and ... wound up coming home at like 5am. Armando and Sophia came over too, we had a load of fun as usual. Since we were up so late, it was not surprising that we didn't wake up at 10:30 like we wanted to. XD We are lazy fucks. But we did get there around noon, and mom came with me. I am currently wrapped up in all of my presents. Footsocks, slippers, new flannel PJs, a soft soft soft dfkljskljfskl omg feels so nice robe, and the also omgdvjhkld feels so good blanket.

So we chilled, and almost all of us had to work at different times today. So I left at around 4:30. Work was fun, I got cookies for everyone there, and one of the stagehands got me a card. :D! I was on though, a-a-and because the schedules are weird this week, that means I was on tonight, and we are having two shows tomorrow that I am working ... sob I am late for both of them. I am so going to sleep very soon because the last few days have been busyfun and I need to get a little extra for what I've missed. XD

SUNDAY
- Getting work!
- Being invited to ... yet another party thing between both shows! FREE FOOD YAY.

Well, first let me repeat this. When we work matinees, we have to be there by 1PM, which means I have to leave at around 12:40. Then we hang, do inserts if we have them and get ready until 1:30. Then we seat people until 2. There've been a couple of times I've been called at like, 12:40, 12:50 at the last minute as an emergency-- "it's okay as long as you get here by 1:30." It's good for me, I am quick to get ready and live close enough to get there on time. Kimmy calls me at 12:55 asking if I could work that night, I am all woo! And settle in to hang out until then.

1:15 I get a second fucking call.

"TARA CAN I ASK YOU A BIG FAVOR. CAN YOU ... MAKE IT RIGHT NOW."

"......... I WILL TRY."

So I have 15 minutes to GET DRESSED AND HAUL MY ASS OVER THERE. I RAN. And made it like 1 minute before we opened. I FUCKING RULE. But oh God I was so dead from running. And was let home early. XD

After that I went back to the theater after it ended, which gave us about an hour and a half before having to be in again since Sunday night is an early show, because in between we had the party. So much fooood and deliciousness and it was a bunch of actors AND stagehands AND ushers and it is not too big back near the bar. XD SO WE WERE CROWDED and on the stairs and in the seats in the orchestra and just all over the place. And Aaaaaaaaaaaaaace was there ohohoho. And we are having something else just like it again next Saturday, so double yay for that. Many parties and free food, I approve.

Am working on Christmas (The Brooks is having a show on Christmas wtf. But it's not like I am doing anything, so whatevs. Plus time and a half = ♥. We are doing something at Joseph's for Christmas Eve, tho o/) Also Tuesday. I dunno about Weds yet, but Lulu wants me to work at the Marquis tomorrow (which is usually no show day) because they are having a special show to make up for not having one on Christmas. Am thinking that over because if I get called on Weds then sob I will get no breaks. Even though I am freeing myself up Saturday because me and dad are going to Heather's for my niece's birthday party.

And Tuesday me and Joseph are going to Old Navy together to get each other Christmas presents. I am getting him a hat and scarf and probably silverware because they don't have a lot up there (Armando ate with chopsticks Joseph had the other night. XD Kristin ate with like ... idk what the hell it was BUT NOT AN EATING UTENSIL) And he is getting me ... whatever I try out and want there, I guess. XD That's why we're going together, since sizes are weird with me and I am also super picky sometimes so was like IDUNNO WHAT I WAAAAAAANT.

Yeah this is boring. I post about work too much.
