Well, I have concluded another week of work, which for me, is unfortunately only about 14-15 hours. However, in order to stay afloat, I need approximately 12 hours a week for: rent and basic food. So another week of staying afloat. Like a Styrofoam block.
Anyways, my kettle seems to be broken, it still turns on, but it does not seem to heat water. I had to use a pot to boil water for coffee.....ghetto...
However, I feel goodly this morning, I got a lot of sleep last night, nearing 10 hours. That's good sleeping.
That's it for now, war out.

Stuff 3.14
I got another dentist appointment, this time to have my teeth cleaned. I have discerned something from this latest appointment, namely that dental hygienist sometimes giggle and smirk if you refer to your plaque as "defensive armour". This came about in a cute manner, as I was clearly and humourously faking distress - "Oh Noes! my defensive armour!!!". So what else is new... um... nothing... so I suppose I'll just make up stuff.
Alex has become a Demon Lich, and has cast spells on the apartment above us. They should be turning into cthulu-spawn anytime now.
Terrace is now the official home of Breakfast in Bed.
My power level is over 9000. Actually its only 21, but thats still pretty good. Also, apparently according to the chart in the PHB, my strength score for D&D (3/3.5 at least) is 19, go superhuman ability!!
The Jade Monkeys power resides within each and every one of you, all you have to do is believe.
May be tomorrow I will be able to think of more random real stuff to talk about, but for now I am spent. Good luck, and Godspeed.

The Beast stood there, wearing a Tux
The title, as usual, does not have anything to do with the post, it is just whatever came to me at the moment. Well, it was payday today, and with all things accounted for, I can pay rent and then some.
I went to the dentist, and the new dentist is probably only a year or so older than me, and has little interpersonal skills. It is obvious that he has had some "training" in how to deal with people better, but he lacked the ability to observe and pick up on subtle (and not so subtle) cues with individuals. He blathered on for 15 minutes about priorities and the backup of extraction, and making tough decisions, and more about priorities and talking about what the purpose of dentistry is (during all of which I couldn't get a word in edge-wise). I had to wait for him to leave before I quickly asked the nurse "so how many teeth need work, and how many in short time?", to which she replied "9 and only 3". There, that's all I was looking for.
Some docs really need to learn how to deal with individuals, not with "people". Learn 2 psychology noob.
I then went to the doctors office, where I talked to Dr. Lakhoo, who was a breath of fresh air comparatively. the appointment went along these lines:
Doc: hi, what do you want?
Me: this is what I want.
Doc: here you go.
Much better. So I got some blood testing underway, but it could take 2 weeks to receive the results. Big Money, Big Money, No Whammies, No Whammies!

I have the coffee
I do have the coffee, some Kicking Horse coffee.
Well, I have been geeking out a lot lately, but not in the realm of D&D or any such thing. I have been doing a lot of drawing and writing pertaining to a universe setting of mine, the one called "Cruiser Suit Chronicles". It details the known universe of the year 2550, in which mankind has travelled out into the galaxy (though not all too far), and controls hundreds and hundreds of colonised star systems. Factions have arisen, leading to the domination of the known sphere by 5 major factions, and numerous other minor factions. When these powers go to war, it is by means of mecha known as cruiser suits. Faster-than-Light travel is by means of some sort of Jump-Engine which teleports a vessel from one place to another simultaneously (I have not come up with a name for the jump engine yet - any suggestions are welcome).
That's what I've been working on lately, and it has been quite fun.
Yep.
I am off for more coffee and walking around!

Walkabout
Today I went walking! I meandered around town, going to the coffee shop, shoppers drug-mart to get some more Tylenol (damn you tooths! you will be defeated by the dentist soon!!!!), then to the bakery for cookies and bread, and finally a stop by the Asian food shop before heading home.
It was a really beautiful day, with a blue sky, crisp air, and happy people wandering all about. There was also a drunk guy who crossed the street and narrowly avoided being run-over, subsequently causing a traffic thingy. I'm not sure he noticed, since he was looking down, and his eyes were closed (from what I could see). Ah, Terrace.
The sun and rain have taken away the snow, but it will be back soon, I have no doubt.
I have been watching Dragonball Z from the beginning (I've only ever seen individual episodes before, but I have had a rough explanation of events), and It is oddly good. I have just made it through the Freeza Saga.
^_^
That is all for now, to everyone reading this, Have a Good day!

Happy Stuffs
Well, mostly good news, the van is fixed for now. A starting switch burned out, which made it unable to start or do anything.
That is good for now.
Yesterday I watched the new Star Trek movie, and I must say, it is very awesome. It may even be enough to reboot the whole star trek franchise, which has been waning as of late. It even made me like star trek again, which hasn't really happened since long ago when I used to watch "The Next Generation" with my grandfather.
I am happy for this.
It has started snowing in terrace, so sometime soon I may post pictures of me in the snow, if such events happen (or rather when they happen).
That is all for now, everybody have a good day!

Jello Shots in Moderation
The above statement is false.
I have not updated in a few days, but that's mostly because of anxiety (Damn You Anxieties!!!). A major catastrophe has occurred, of which I am unsure of the future outcome. A few days ago, while on our way back from groceries, the vans electrical systems began to smoke a lot. This has never happened before, but after parking it and making sure it wasn't on fire, I let it sit to "cool off" so to speak. The next day I tried it again to see if things were still not right. The van didn't turn over. So, I'm going to consult the parents, take it in to the mechanic, and hopefully get it fixed. It may be beyond fixing, but I don't want to think about it.
That is all, happier post tomorrow.
