Happy Turkey Day, everybody!
Just a quick spot to say I hope everyone has a good one and has a lot to be thankful for. I sure do this year. I couldn't say that before, but now I'm confident that I can.
We're going to celebrate with Rose's family, which will be the first time I spend Thanksgiving away from home. It's kind of weird, but I think it'll be a good change.
One day, when I'm all established and have a family, I want to be able to have big Thanksgivings at my house. That will be the ultimate thanks.
Everyone eat til you're in pain and enjoy being with your families!
Glückliche Danksagung!

I Smell Good
Hey, I'm posting again and it hasn't even been 2 months since my last one...you should be proud of me. I'm being consistent.
So, Rose's birthday went off without a hitch. We celebrated on Friday cuz I got paid so I could afford the dinner I took her out to. I bought her some pretty jewelry and Brain Age 2 for DS. She likes it and so do I.
We went to Ipanema in Seattle. A really neat Brazilian restaurant where they serve you meat on a skewer right at your table. They come around with different kinds and they just carve it for ya right there. That's my kinda eatin'. Needless to say, I ate so much I was physically in pain, but it's a good pain. As the Joker once said, if you're gonna go, go with a smile.
I've been moving my stuff into Rose's place, so I'm living over there now. My computer and furniture and everything is still at the house, but I go pack a little bit everyday, so hopefully I'll be completely moved in in a couple of weeks. It's pretty nice finally moving out. It's been long overdue.
I need to run by the post office and pick up a change of address card.
We're FINALLY going to see Quantum of Solace tonight (excited!) as we just got through all 21 Bond films. It was fun sharing those with her and I'm glad she liked them.
I've begun saving up for a sick Blu-ray setup. I think I'll start buying older movies on Blu-ray. Just kind of casually replace some of my DVD's and getting ones that I haven't picked up yet. I'll still have to buy new releases on DVD for a while though, but depending on the movie, I may upgrade later on down the road. I won't replace every movie I have, just major ones.
I have to work over the holiday weekend. I'm not looking forward to that. I have to work Friday through Tuesday, so I'm gonna be dead tired. I'll probably end up going to bed before 7 until I get a day off.
I've been thinking about playing WoW again, just casually. Nothing like I used to do. Maybe a couple hours a day when I don't have any homework or anything else to do. Just thinking about it.
Well, I suppose that's it for now. I added a couple new widgets to my blog here, so go ahead and be a follower and subscribe to my blog so I don't have to keep telling everyone when I post a new one.
Until Dr. Doom sells facial cream door-to-door, Make Mine Marvel.

You Want This...Don't You?
Well, I've been 30 for about a week and a half and I don't feel that much different...except when I wake up in the morning and my joints sound like Rice Crispies. I do notice now how much older I am than a lot of people I work with and how close in age I am to my supervisors which is good or bad depending on how you look at it. But, luckily, in the world of geeks, everyone's pretty much familiar with everything, so someone will usually know what show or movie you're talking about...and I work with a lotta geeks.
Rose's birthday is Thursday, but we're gonna have to celebrate on Friday or Saturday because that's when I get paid and it's easier to do nice things when you have money to waste.
I gotta finish packing and start bringing stuff over to Rose's. I took down a lot of my posters and packed up most of my books. I think we'll try to rearrange the living room so that we have an idea of where stuff is going. We'll be getting rid of her old entertainment center, so if anyone is interested, let me know.
Let's see...what else?
Well, I guess that's it for now. I'll probably be out for a couple of days soon when I have to dismantle my computer (I can feel the anxiety already) but you probably won't hardly notice since I've been posting rather sporadically lately anyway, but humor me and say you'll miss me.
Later, Peaches.

Brian: Part 3
Welp, as you may or may not know, I just entered my third decade on this earth on Sunday. It hasn't really hit me yet that I'm not in my 20's anymore. My 20's weren't exactly the best for me. I had a lot of rough times during that 10 years and things didn't start shaping up until my last year. I started school, got a job and met my wonderful lady Rose...in that order.
Now that I've started my 30's, I'm more optimistic about my life, whereas in my 20's, I was a bit of a fatalist and didn't see any light at the end of the tunnel. I feel kinda gypped because your 20's are supposed to be fun, but mine were not.
I had a lot of experiences in my 20's that helped shape who I am now, which is a good thing I guess. I made a lot of mistakes that I've learned from. I think I'm wiser and more responsible now, so I guess it wasn't all bad. It just seemed like that at the time.
Anyway, I had a good birthday. We didn't really do anything too exciting. Just had a small little party at home on Saturday and then went out for dinner at the Jasmine Mongolian Grill in Federal Way on Sunday.
I got some pretty cool presents. Rose bought me one of those Crosley record players you see everywhere. I've been wanting one for a while, so I was happy about that. She also got me a cool Dark Knight LP with Batman on one side and the Joker on the other. She also got me these two cool little pictures of Elvis and Rocky. And she's taking me to California next year, but I'm not sure exactly where we're going. She told me via this cool little puzzle that she used with movie trivia. I only missed two questions. So, I'm pretty excited about that trip! I just gotta save up some money.
Work is going well, but we're terribly understaffed, so every week after we get caught up, we get backed up again the next day. That's pretty frustrating, but I'm trying not to let it get to me. They don't pay me enough to stress about it. That's my boss' job.
Let's see, what else...not much else going on. Just packing my stuff getting ready to move.
That's about it for now, my friends.
I'll update again soon.
