touch my plastic hands
Jul. 13th, 2009 03:09 amThe other day I dreamt I was staffing at Otakon. That was purely fictional, as I would not staff Otakon.
600th LJ entry GET! But it's not as impressive a get as say, 500 or 1,000 or something like that.
Last weekend I saw a needless tragedy unfold before my eyes: A little girl, must've not been a day over 6, watched her ice cream cone slide out of her hands and hit the ground because she could not eat it faster than it was melting. There was nothing I could do to console the child, who was then openly and understandably mourning her loss. It was inevitable, her parents gave her a serving that was about as big as the one I got. It locked her in a losing battle against the afternoon sun; the kind of battle that even full-grown adults such as myself have also lost.
Recently I calculated that if I put an extra $120 a month towards
nozomichan05's loan, it'll lop off about a year, finishing in the Christmas 2010 timeframe. The idea of paying off a car in such a relatively short time is a very palatable one indeed. This shall be promptly implemented! To facilitate this aggressive tactic, I'm going to take things easier on the fandom front.
Such as: Until further notice, I shall be commuting to any and all conventions inside of a three-hour driving range, and I reserve all rights to attend for only one day or abstain altogether from any of them as I see fit. The only exceptions are for Otakon this year because pre-reg and hotel has already been set, and for AUSA in general because, well, I'm on staff. Drastic, I know. But that's just how I roll.
Been noticing that lately I've had to frequently reset my wireless router. Mine is almost 5 years old. Do these things wear out?
