14 weeks later...I HAVE RETURNED!

Well...first off...you should know that I have a freakin job now! Finally i get to go out of the freakin house once in a while ^_^

And im sayin freakin a lot...but thats of no matter :P

The job is at Tim's...and I got it like last week or two weeks ago...so yeah kinda late in sayin so :P

Anyway...we went to Anime North last weekend (well came back yesterday to be more accurate :P). Twas fun. Some of the panels could have standed to ya know...get their stuff straight beforehand, cause some of them were really unorganized.

...wow...I said all i could. Well...all i could that wasnt really in my Youtube posting. Go find it!

After a month and 9 days...i post! OMG! Run for the hills!

Its been a long, semi-interesting month. I might as well state whats been goin on.

Job hunts STILL ongoing. BUT I applied to Quizno's today so despite my pride being black and blue, i might actually have a chance at a job (finally). I also applied to a placement agency...but they havent said one peep in nearly 2 weeks. EB Games has my resume (one of the 6 in London anyway). Its too bad they werent hiring at the time cause the guy liked my resume (better than the paper towel ones he gets from random teens :P)

Last weekend we went to TO and saw 'We WIll Rock you'. And it was made of WIN! Its basically a musical set to Queen's greatest hits and lots of cheap pops to the particular crowd (like the canadian flag panty flash the female lead did :P)

The wedding prep course was a couple of weeks ago, meaning the wedding is getting closer and closer. The thing was interesting (at least the talks were) The questionnaires werent however. I know this is going to sound very male of me, but it was all 'express/talk about your feelings'. BLEGH! Luckily, rosi feels the same so we had no problems (i even decided to doodle on mosta them...good thing we didnt have to hand them in)

A quick gamelist update Cut to save space and brains )

Thats a lot huh? Thankfully itll be nice and spread out thanks to release dates.

What else to talk about? well...im up to 13 vids on my Youtube account, with a new 3 part digimon rant up. go find it if you want to.

SSBB is taking over my life. It looks so damn cool! ^_^ I'll keep the spoilers away from here...for now. MARCH NINTH! WOOOO!

Air Canada can kiss my pucker and like it.

So we get up at 415 this morning to get our 655 flight. When we get there we are informed that its been delayed 3 fucking hours. We wait...then wait an HOUR on the plane. Apparently the price gouging AC does does NOT go towards fucking maintenance (which was their excuse).

We get to Montreal, our original layover point, and get in this mysterious line that didnt seem to have ANY purpose in front of the extra connections gate (thats right...because of the delay...we couldnt catch our direct flight to london, so we had to add a connector fr/ toronto). The plane was nice and was high tech...but fuck that. Doesnt make up for the BS.

So we get to London..mind you we havent eaten since 430 and find out somehow...despite checking in at the same fragging time...we got put on separate flights. WHAT THE FUCK!?

We managed to straighten that mess out barely in time to catch the flight...and its this piece of junk that looks like it was ripped out of Indiana Jones. I felt like i was in the 30's on that rust bucket. The ride was not smooth and made me think we were gonna fucking die so many times.

The kicker you ask? Well...those assholes LOST OUR LUGGAGE TOO! And whats in my luggge that pisses me off to the point i wanna fucking scream?! MY WII WAS IN THERE!

I wanted to take it with me for safety sake...but it wouldnt fit in my stachel, so i packed it carefully in between my clothes. Id better fuxcking get it back soon or there will be HELL to pay.

Rosi is in a worse mood than i am and i dont blame her one fucking bit. This whole vacation has been stressful up the ass. Between passport fuckups, her moms badgering about wedding stuff that she CLEARLY gave enough information for, me not being able to see kit and niko because of the fucked up weather and all this other junk...it was a pretty rotten couple of weeks. The wii was the one shining thing this week pretty much...well except new years that was fun (skittering-scare-the-fuck-outta-you fireworks are fun).

Maybe ill post a get list later if i calm the hell down.

Merry xmas guys...*sigh*

GASP! Im posting!

Well its dangeously close to the trip back east.

Yay..we get to get up at 4am, get in a cab probably round 430, wait an hour, get to TO, eat breakfast during our hour and half layover, then get to Moncton round 12. And 10-1 i wont be able to sleep on the gorram flight due to my inability to sleep in any kind of vehicle (which means really early bedtime tuesday). Not to mention tuesdays cleanathon to make sure the bugs dont take over (plus getting to try out the vaccuum we just got ^_^)

All my xmas shopping is done...howd that happen? oh right...no job to interfere. Blargh.

So...Pokemon Diamond is done. And i feel...so used. Finishing the pokedex was so anti-climatic. 2 certificates i doubt i can see again...and then nothing. Makes me a sad wolf.

lol...Rosi and i JUSt had an amusing look at the carry-on rules. And we have been seeing what they allow that we can easily kill someone with. And the WTF things they mention on the list (such as swordcanes and CATAPULTS). And i just found out no music for me on the plane as my phone has practically no memory on it. BAH!

My very first Youtube rant is uploaded. And its on naruto! Huzzah! my username is the same as my LJ name so go find it!

Ok thats it...im done. have a nice day!

Wow...time flies when you have nothing going on.

Well..my game collection continues to grow, adding in FF12: Revenant wings...which Im almost done (i need to massively level up though...and its going to be torture!). But Ive also bee depleting my list of games to complete, and if i play my cards right ill have beaten EVERY mainstream Final Fantasy ever made by the end of the year (that means all 12 of the main series excluding FF11, as well as both Tactics, and Dirge of Cerberus...but not Crisis Core since i never intend to buy a PSP ugh). Go me ^_^

Rosi and me's 3rd anniversary passed on Sunday. We went out for Sushi at the all you can eat for 25$ place. But Ill hafta remind myself not to get hand rolls again, as theyre too big and deprived me of my noodles :P Rosi got me the Megaman X Collection and I got her a toy setfor Dr. Who, including a remote-control K9,and the Tenth Doctor (she squealed over it like last year with the toy dinosaurs...which we have no room here to display unless she moves some of her books INTO her bookcase :P)

So...its 2 weeks till we go back to the East coast (ok....16 days...but im thinking in terms of full weeks instead of days at this point). I have all my Xmas shopping done (although mom and Dad's presents are being bought through other people, since they involve needing to be on the east coast to buy :P). And most likely ill be getting a wii for Xmas...which makes me very happy ^_^ (even though it maybe late and mailed to me...but thats fine)

Well thats it. Man...things really ARE boring. Hopefully Xmas does something to remedy that :P Later!

2 more weeks...and now we get another entry....yep thats how boring my life is at this point.

The job hunt is reaching itas intermission now I'd say. In a few days it'll be exactly a month before the trip back home and any job i could possibly get in that time frame itd be REALLY akward to get the 2 weeks off. So, I'll work something out if somehow i get ajob in that timeframe (which at this point Im doubting with every fiber of my being.

I've had to restart FF3 recently due to my sloppy training proceedures. But this time Im doing much better...I just gotta wait till I restart the wifi sidequests before i can move any further, so i may take the time to level up the jobs Im not exactly using.

I managed tolose my ORIGINAL birth certificate this past week...and its been stress central for me. Luckily, no one can do crap w/ a BC without proper ID so my identity is most likely safe. *phew*

I hope that with the upcoming animaritime meeting I can get my youtube ad idea fleshed out, and actually get my channel's first video. Then I can start out on some stuff of my own (not that I'll knoww what the blue hell I'll be doing...itll probably be black screen/backgrounded rants or responses to people's vids).

So apparently im going to be driving a lot next weekend. Oh well at least i ave a weeks knowledge of it :P

Watch Dr. Who. I will plug this out the ass...watch it! It is GOD! :P

Holy crap...2 weeks since my last post?

Yeah...the reason...NOTHING HAS HAPPENED UNTIL TODAY.

Today...well...2 and a half hours ago, was my 24th birthday. Rosi got me two movies (History of the World v.1 and Meaning of Life), my grandparents gave me enough cash to buy LoZ: Phantom Hourglass, Sonic Gems Collection and MM: network Transmission (although Ill need a Wii to play those as they are GC games). Mom got me a cookbook (she thinks shes soooooooo funny :P)

My game collection is REALLY growing, despite my lack of job...this could be problematic...

Speaking of that...job hunting STILL sucks. Im so sick and tired of nobody clling back, not even the temp agencies that i put my resume into. What is it about me that is so unappealing? And if you say 'dont call us about the job' you should at least phone back to say that your person applying didnt get the job instead of just leaving them hanging (90% of the guys ive applied to BTW). This, BTW, is why i have Shikamaru as my avatar (mainly cause the more I type on this, the more PO'd i start getting).

Oh well...Ill keep trying, despite this ROTTEN luck.

Oh well...thats enough for now. I have a f-list to check up on.

Well...Im here all by my lonesome.

Rosi went off to Toronto to go see Cats (which i totally did NOT want to see. I mean...i did homework instead last time i had the choice to go). She would have tried to twist my arm, but then it occured to her: if she dragged me to it, i might be tempted to drag her to a WWE event the next time they came to London :P

So, Im here, finished watching Torchwood and wasting time until i decide to go to bed.


UPDATED GAMING LIST! (arent you soooooo excited :P)

Get:
-Megaman ZX Advent (now pre-ordered)
-FF4 DS (thats right...another port. itll be out next year)
-FF12: Revenant Wings (might as well, but it might wait till next year too)

to Complete:
- Digimon Savers: Another Mission
- Final fantasy 9
- Final fantasy 3 for DS (playing now)
- Dirge of Cerberus
- Kingdom Hearts Chain of memories
- Pokemon Diamond

As you can see, ive cleared all the Battle Network stuff from my list. Chip Challenge was declared finished after seeing how much craptacular tedium and randomosity id hafta go throguh to finish the chip collection. I barely put up with that for Battle Network 1, which lacked the devices which i find critical in chip hunting.

So now to finish off the FF stuff. KH is going to take a while since Im considering starting over and levelling properly (not to mention saving Neverland for DEAD LAST...Capt. Hook is hard as hell!). Dirge of Cerberus...I may consider getting some of my net friends to give me tips on actually playing FPS so I dont end up dying 20000 times trying to take out those fucking snipers in Edge's square! (as featured in AC when Death Bahamut shows up).

Then ill fit in Digimon somewhere and hope that rosi finishes Victory Road.

Oh well..thats all i guess.

Oh...one more thing: JOB HUNTING SUCKS!

That is all...

All right...past a week...need ann update...

Well, first off, the job hunt i guess. Not been going great i hafta say. I've had 3 rejections in the last 2 weeks, and the rest haven't even called/emailed back. I'm gonna go to a job fair this sunday at 4. and guess where?

CHAPTERS!

I would seriously love working there. It may not have much to do with my degree, but I had 2 job criteria, and the primary one is 'will i LIKE it'? I would like banking and accounting, but i swore that if i had the op to work at a chapters or an EB id take the chance.

What I've been doing in the meantime is watching a LOT of videos. Mainly ranters and game reviewers on Youtube. But in the process of watching one particular one (called the Angry Video game nerd) it took me to Gametrailers.com, where i discovered something awesome,

ALL FINAL FANTASY FANS PAY ATTENTION HERE:

A THIRTEEN PART FF RETROSPECTIVE.

So far its only at Part 11, but it's covered a LOT. It's already covered the main series, even specialy linking up all the Ivalice games (Tactics, FF12, etc) in one part. It's very well researched and the video quality is amazing. I really reccomend you check it out if you haven't already.

On the game front, I'm at 96% completion of my Pokemon Diamond Pokedex. Now, I just hafta wait for Rosi to finish up Victory Road and the E4, although it may get difficult now that she has Fire Emblem and 2 Pheonix Wrights to distract her. :P

I'm currently playing Megaman Battle Network 4: Red Sun, trying to finish it off once and for all. Ive had it since last december and want to finish what i started.

Heres the list again: Cut for those who don't care )

well that's all for now. later guys!

So...I just had a MAJOR WTF moment.

I'm starting to get together what i hafta do to finish off Leafgreen "for good" (put in quotes unless i start over sometime later). The list is as follows (from a few hours ago):

1) Catch Zapdos (finished...but with only a couple of ultra balls and no status...pure luck, but not too wtf)
2) catch Articuno
3) Take out Blaine and the Cinnibar Gym (as well as Pokemon Manor)
4) Finish the first leg of the Sevii Islands
5) While there, catch Moltres (he moved from Victory Road)
6) Finish off the last gym in Viridian
7) Mop up Victory Road and the Elite Four (and Gary...known as AS in this game)
8) Return to the Sevii Islands to finish off that part of the game and unlock the last dungeon
9) Return to Kanto and use the Master Ball on Raikou (Im not crazy enough to try to actually CATCH it normally...especially when it has ROAR, which essentially kills it off)
10) Catch Mewtwo the HARD way (Ultra Balls just like the birds)

Now...I just finished Objective 2. But THATs where the WTF moment happened. Now, lemme set the scene.

I start out with my Butterfree. He has Sleep Powder to put Articuno to sleep. It gets killed in one hit w/ Ice Beam.

I shift to Snorlax, who has Rock Slide and can effectively tear down Articuno's HP. I get it down to red bar'd health w/ rock slide and shadow ball. I decide to let Arti kill off Snorlax so i dont hafta revive Butterfree all over again. It takes a long time, and about 20-30 turns happen, with only a few actual attacks on his part. Snorlax got frozen a while in, but Arti didnt finish him off, just used agility till it was effectless, mindreader before the non-attack moves, and Mist...over and over again.

So, i got bored and started chucking regular pokeballs at it for fun, and in a want to clear them from my inventory. Then the damndest thing happened: I CAUGHT THE BASTARD IN A POKEBALL! I'm NOT kidding. I actually did it. No status effect, about 90% of its health drained, which doesnt matter much when youre dealing with a legendary that shrugs off ULTRA balls, and im using the weakest ball in the game. Its absolutely MIND BOGGLING. I need to buy a fucking lottery ticket or something cause that was luck. PURE LUCK.

Well...job hunting has been going on for a week. I do believe ive hit up nearly every major bank in the area (except TD and Scotiabank. SB had no openings at all, and TD had all call centre and upper management jobs). Ive also applied for some trainee stuff, hopefully that goes through well. Ive had no contacts yet BUT since the posts are still up on Workopolis i believe they are STILL deliberating (although if i dont get any word i havent been considered. Ill declare it a wash if it reaches 2 weeks since i applied without word, all the while taking new opps).

In the meantime Ive been keeping up stuff at the apartment. Today I set up our FOURTH bookcase. it was in pieces, so i had to break out the tools yet again. I nearly mutilated it though, because the backing is a thin wood that is nailed onto the back, and lining it up was VERY difficult. It is now filled to the brim with our various DVDs and video games.

Speaking of gaming:

Get (from now till December):
-Megaman ZX Advent

to Complete:
- Digimon Savers: Another Mission
- Final fantasy 9 (STILL still just outside of the Ice Cave where Rosi and I left off last time :P)
- Final fantasy 3 for DS
- Dirge of Cerberus (hopefully getting the thing w/ Gackt in it this time)
- Megaman.EXE: Battle Chip Challenge
- Megaman Battle Network 4 Red Sun (same reason as MMBN2)
- Megaman battle Network ( 1 )
- Kingdom Hearts Chain of memories (almost done Sora's story)
- Pokemon Diamond

The list is SLOWLY being depleted. But Pokemon is taking up a lot of time. My play-clock has just passed the 270 hour area. And i still have a lot to do. I have a master ribbon to win, the Battle Tower to conquer, and the Pokedex to finish off (which is awfully close. The Wifi connection makes trading a hell of a lot easier). My dex at the moment is: 457 obtained, 476 seen out of 493 pokemon. Although this is not accurate, since i need to re-obtained some of the stuff from leafgreen i traded away. Oh...yeah...i did buy Pokemon Leafgreen and Emerald to finish the dex off...as well as to say that i beat a 3rd gen game. :P

As for Digimon Savers (which is new to the main list), is a unique experience so far. The story is kind of hard to set in Saver's timeline, since elements of it put it SOMEWHERE in the last half of the series, but other elements have it post-series. I wont say it them here since they are spoilers for Savers.

The evolution system is quite unique. And its an amusing story too. You start out w/ Masaru and Agumon alone (though you can get a full party of 3, with 3 more characters as well to supplement) on a small island in the Digital World. So, I'm fighting some Otamamon, and my 'Digisoul Charge' option flashes up, meaning i can evolve. Now, at the moment it was taking a few turns to take out the Otamamon, and their enemy groups were increasing in numbers, so I was like "Time to squish some Child types. Let's go GeoGreymon!". But when the whole evolution sequence happened, I was like "OMGWTFBBQ!? Guilmon!?"

That's right...I SLIDE evolved into Guilmon. He was stronger so I didnt have many complaints, but i was shocked. Turns out the evolution system has a giant map of evolution branches, including the main line (excluding Burst Modes sadly). the lines are inter-related by Digimon Family (dinos and fire for agumon, plants and bugs for Lalamon etc.), and can get from 22 to 31 evolutions per digimon. They even played it into the storyline, which is something nearly not done in other Digimon games.

All I'll say about the storyline is that it involves all 7 Demon Lords: Daemon (in NON-Cloaked mode), Beelezebumon (guns ablazin!), Leviamon, Lilithmon, Belphemon, Barbamon, and Lucemon (not the child...the Perfect form).

Well..thats all for me. Hopefully my next update will 1) involve a job landing, 2) less game babbling, and 3) in LESS than a week :P

Later!

Well...now that my computers back from the ol' repairshop, I can finally start looking for jobs.

.....

joy -_-

.....

Well...after a good hour and half on one site, I've managed to find 2 jobs that looked REMOTELY entry-level. The rest either had 'manager' or specialist' on them (and yes...i checked the specialist ones to be sure...most of them had the old 2 years experience buffer on them. gross.)

I sent my resume into the Royal bank, and applied for jobs at BoM and some Sales Trainee program. I figured sales would be somewhat close enough to my degree. Im gonna keep looking after lunch and at a differnt site (i haven't checked the government job bank and people seem to post there more often than workopolis...at least in my experience.)

Well..off of that vastly depressing subject...

I managed to get ahold of a copy of Pokemon: Emerald a few days ago. Man,...I had NO idea that there was a gang STUPIDER than Team rocket or Team Galaxy (D/P's gang). No wait...make that TWO teams stupider.

Let me break it down for you: Pokemon Spoilerz )

All this is leading to me finishing Diamond's pokedex. All 493 of them. Im very close...in the last 100 range to be exact. Just a few to evolve, a few to get from Rosi and a few to trade online. Shouldnt be too bad.

Speaking of games that end in 'mon', i pre-ordered Digimon Savers: AM last week (i'm trying not to call it by the somewhat-stupid dub name). Hopefully once i play it, i can find out where the thing is in the freakin timeline, cause apparently it IS part of it. Although Savers ending doesnt leave a whole lotta lee-way.

Ugh...HUNGRY! Its gonna be an early lunch today I'll tell you that. Ill last about an hour before going hunting for food. Later!

First: my very first quiz!


NerdTests.com says I'm a Dorky Sci-Fi / Comic Geek.  What are you?  Click here!


Now....its been a full week at least since i last posted, so theres a lot to shift through...so hang onto your boots!

We moved in 10 days ago. Sonic was gald to have been FINALLY fully unloaded (which actually took longer than anticipated due to the late prep work that was being done on the apartment). Add to that the fact that we went essentials hunting and filled up the half-unloaded car again shortly afterwards.

Now...this apartment for the most part is unfurnished, so theres no couch or bed here at the moment. I did JUST snap some pics of the rooms now, and ill DL them behind a cut...or i would if my account could do that >_<

I may have to have rosi post them. Oh well...her Lj gets replied to more anyway :P

anyway...back to storytime.Sunday we went shopping for the bigger stuff...or stuff we couldnt pack into the car during the first trip. Like cleaning stuff (didnt want to risk anything opening and spilling on my tower). And my shiny new flatscreen monitor, as well as a DVD drive for my computer (which for some reason my parents didnt get in the first place).

Monday was Labour Day...so we wasted time watching the huge stack of DVDs we got, including Austin Powers 1&3, Supernatural's first season, the end of the Fourth Doctor's run in Dr. Who, The Producers, Chicago, Men In Tights, and many many more. Walmart and Sunrise records are evil enablers BTW :P

On Tuesday I got started on getting the car all ship shape for driving in Ontario. Unfortunately, that day ended with me only getting ahold of Rosi's drivers guide, since i found the WRONG DMV location. We also did manage to order us up a bed. Thats due to get here in 2 days. My back will be happy when it does.

Wednesday...I seriously cannot recall what the blue hell we did. Probably geeked out and shopped.

Thursday, we got our Net/Cable hooked up. We confounded the poor cable guy by not having the TV here yet :P It took a good long while to get our wireless
set up, due to my sloppy handwriting.

Friday I got my new drivers liscene...or at least a paper form of it, plus had my insurance transfered here. Apparently State Farm terminology differs province to province, so the poor person had to call NB twice to have things explained to her. I also managed to get my banking info changed over as well. Now i just need to switch branches. There ares several to choose from ...which is good (this town is lousy w/ TD...unlike The Bubble)

Saturday we finally got our stuff here...well most of it. The mover was freakishly strong. i was impressed. For the most part everything is organized, although my desk DID try to kill me when i started to put it back together. We also got Rosi her own dresser, which had to be throughly dusted when we got home. I...also got myself a Four -pack of Dalek action figures from a geek store we discovered. Two are being sent back to Riverview. One is Bop's birthday present, and one is for her Dad. Id send one home, but my parents would be "WTF?". Better to send it to the more geeky side of the family :P

Yesterday was a relaxation day. I sent most of it trading pokemon on wifi. Im up to over 400 seen. Ill eventually get caught up on the owning thing, although this game only requires you SEE them for some odd reason. Maybe its cause they realized theres WAY too many of these little bastards!

Today Im gonna finish up on setting up stuff...like the TV table thats 1/4 complete not far away. Ill then hook up the cable fully, and maybe start putting books on the 3 bookshelves we have. Cause Rosi's books just arrived via UPS today (along with my printer!). Then we go looking for a LAMP cause its fucking DARK in this living room at night. And a table or two for the kitchen...and a couch later on when we get organized enough. Thank gods i have an 11000$ buffer on my bank account.

And cause this week has made me feel like a conquering ehro...heres Gilgamesh! :P

All right...time to make a massively delayed post :p

Now...ill Try not to re-iterate all the stuff rosi mentioned in her last 2 posts...but it may happen, so bear with me. :p

Now...first off...i am absolutely BEAT! Driving that much is never...E-E-E-EVER going to happen again. As soon as everythings all organized in London (job, apartment, Western, etc) I am taking rosi to the biggest and emptiest parking lot i can find and am going to DRILL her until she gets her full license.

Speaking of the apartment, the hunt is on as of today (as if it wasnt already on :p). We found a place relatively close to western, and has a lot of amenities nearby, such as both of our banks. Wanna know why we know where both banks are? The so-called 'scavenger hunt' we went on to get all the required things for our apartment application. It wasnt all that fun. It didnt help that places were threatening to shut us out before we could get anything (not literally of course...just in our heads. It was just that the photocopier alone took 3 stores to find a working one)

But our reward was good. we got applied on time (which meant we got back before the person left). We then stopped for a massively needed drink, and i found something that i couldnt find out east: Jolt. Its only like in halifax or the Valley, and nowhere in NB. It tasted amazing, and i made sure to take it slow (with the 5x than Bawls amount of caffine in it).

So hopefully they call back w/ goood news tomorrow. But if that fails, we still have the other place we made an appointment at for wednesday.

Ive managed to get past the storyline section of Megaman Star Force. Pretty solid story throughout. Now i just have postgame stuff to do. That might take a while since its a job based sidequest thing.

Pokedex: 319/369/493 (caught/seen/dex limit)

Well..thats all i can think of.

Oh! Kit and Niko...send me the phone number for the house so i can put it in my new phone. Ill then send you guys the number (dont wanna give it out over LJ :P)

Later!

Ok...now that that little bit of drivel is out of the way...

My Flash drive has been upgraded to fully MIA. I grieve v_v

But..life goes on. And in that respect, my 2 weeks has officially been given to RGIS. It was fun while it lasted.........not. :P

Rosi managed to give me more music today, now that her transfering is done. One regret about it though: it probably wasnt the best idea to listen to all the pots and pans music (which is alledgedly a musical genre according to rosi :P) when i had a massive headache.

Im beginning to wonder if i am even going to be able to HAVE my token male groomsman. My cousin seems to be freakin VAPOR.

Anyway, onto sadder news: I have almost-officially, lost my flash drive. I wont know for sure if its fully MIA till tomorrow morning/afternoon when i do a daylight search of my car. Hopefully i do find it...i love that little thing. ;_;

Better news...my parents have offered to pay for a personal cell phone for me. Ive picked it out and its now on its way here via UPS. Hopefully i can DL the Final Fantasy Victory fanfare as a ringtone (full of AWESOME!)

Well its been a very tough week. Where do I even begin?

We've been attempting to househunt for London. Trouble is...its almost or just as bad (maybe even a bit worse) than job hunting. Everyone wants us to come view the bloody place. I have this bad feeling that when we go up in a couple of weeks, those spots will be filled. I hate worrying like this. I really do.

As Rosi keeps saying "I just want somewhere to live...."

What's making this even worse is that we can't plan the move very well, with the whole lack fo address thing. I have no idea when we're going up, so I can't arrange for my storage area to be cleared out (hopefully we decide whether we go up on Friday or saturday the week before september so i can arrange that...stupid contract...).

God I feel so drained by all this. Not to mention stressed out and achy.

We did get the honeymoon all booked (hotel-wise) though. Thats something to look forward to right?

Good lord...this is THE most amazing Dr. Who AMV i've ever seen. It uses all TEN Doctors (or so i counted...i could be wrong...), and actually uses "Welcome to the Black Parade" in a correct context.

In other news, Rosi's internet is down so shes not a happy ewok. She gets snippy w/out her Tess fix.

We returned from the Jade/Bill wedding safe and sound. Although, there were times i severely needed a caffine fix to just stay awake on the road. The wedding itself was short and although i begged her, i now have the slightly disappointing (and ONLY slightly) that my ceremony will dwarf theirs in length. Oh well...as long as the sermon doesnt put me to sleep ill be fine. :P

The reception was fun. There was dancing, enough food to turn me almost into a standing blob, And Bill forcing people to dance w/ a Nintendo Zapper (the gun for Duckhunt for those who dont know).

Tomorrow we finally get to finalize the honeymoon RSVPs. Unfortunately that means dealing w/ my grandmother and her lack of thinking we're capable of completing it on our own. v_v\ *facepalm* She can be just as bad as Rosi's Mom when it comes to these things...

I truely think Gwenna has gone far too far on her complaining about working at Walmart. Tonight, she had to catch up on Dr. Who Season 3 (current here), so i whispered so she could hear the dialouge (i usually say things to myself while i game so i can keep my thoughts collected). But she found fault with the. rosi even had to restrain me from going over to thwack her one good. She takes things too far and overreacts to the STUPIDEST things. Reminds me of my Father quite frankly (not a good thing when im annoyed). Thank god i wont have to see her for a while after this month ends. She, one day, is going to get smacked and deserve it.

Sigh...need to calm down.

Watch the AMV...its really good!

Hello from the world of procrastiated updates :P

Pokemon is once again, after so many years, consuming my life. Im 70 hours in and have seen (you only need see them now to have the pokedex be considered made for some bizarre reason)210/493 of them and own 95 (mostly due to not evolving most of what ive caught). Im currently doing a search for a mas y menos (DC referencefor all who dont know) and pikachu fusion....named Plusie and Minun. Actually...just the later, the former hasnt shown up yet. Theyre quite rare...so the search is tough. although it boggles the mind slightly because it is such a small area theyre found in...

anyway, in other news, rosi and i have applied to a apartment complex in london. heres hopin we get in! *crosses fingers tight*

We've also been planning *stops for a second to catch Minum...and suceeds in one turn* the honeymoon in Florida. Were using Grandma's timeshare, which she is being told is her wedding gift. But...she insists she be here for the final stages of booking, because she THINKS we need tips. I find it a bit insulting quite frankly..especially when i called asking merely for her credit card number. geez......

what else? oh yeah...

Work has come to a halt so it seems. The one shift we had this week, was at 6am at Champlain Place's Mexx outlet. Its pretty small, so we were done before the mall opened (sunday and all it opened later of course). Although the management at RGIS needs to take their heads out of their ass once in a while. Our poor supervisor had the entire prep dumped on her.

*stops to catch something called Electrike...suceeds in 2 turns*

So last night, after reading [info]neekabe's post, i frantically e-mailed my Mom to get my birth certificate to me. Not all that fun to do at midnight....oh well..it worked out. Itll be here by tomorrow.

Well..im off to catch em all!...although you dont have to anymore it seems...:P Later!

A quick late-night post. Shouldve really done this earlier...but meh...

First...an update on the game list: cut for those who wish to skip )

I thought the guy in Fredricton staying up till the wee hours watching TV was bad. Now I had to deal with Sunday morning in Syndey was a fat guy snoring the whole night. Luckily rosi can sympathize since her roomate snored too. It made for a sluggish run through Sydney's Zellers.

On the way back, i got a surprise call from my grandmother, who got a call fr/ Ford about my maitenance appointment (which i had already checked up on last friday...why theyd call again after i did so is beyond me).

Speaking off that...the car is in excellent condition....with the exception of the still damaged side mirror, still sporting its duct tape S. Its even shiny-washed now.

Last night, Rosi and I (after i SOMEHOW got her over with a puppy-dog pout) saw Transformers. It was made of absolute awesome. I told her she'd liek it ^_^

I still hafta go see OoTP this week though. Oh well...I did like GoF when i saw it w/ my parents.

Niko...if somehow you see this post, I have a new phone number if you need to call me. But since i cant post it here, either 1) call kit (who last i heard REALLY wants to talk to you) and she'll have it, or 2) call the number you (hopefully) already have and ask my grandmother for the/my cell number. I need to talk to you about some of the wedding stuff...plus i misses you! Its been a long time since Anime North ya know? The phone is on pretty much all the time...but just dont call at some insane hour ok?

All right...thats enough for now. Night
