in happy news, on the 14th me and my gf will find out her ring size and then in may I plan to surprise her with  a proposal, I plan to do a scavenger hunt type thing.
Ah~! Best of luck with your surprise plan~!

Thanks, the hard part is going to be coming up with the clues. I already have one location in mind and thats starbucks sicne we both like the peppermint hot chcolate

is that... a challenge to the gaming/minmax community i just read...? ;D

yes..yes it is bahaha

Give us some more themes to work with, and we'll contribute ideas for wall-bouncing.




That'll take some years, though... Kid is only 1year 2 months old. He'll have to be at least 4 in order to watch any DUBBED anime, and at least 6 or 7 before his reading is fast enough that he can watch subtitled ones.
That's being conservative, the kid might learn how to read faster, and learn to read faster more rapidly. Or he might take longer. It's a toss-up with kids, sometimes they learn stuff amazingly quick, sometimes they don't. Best thing i learned is not to expect anything, but rather to encourage the natural process...

My two year old little brother watches dubbed Ghibli films.  You don't need to wait until four.

Nans ninja'd me pretty good.

I was watching Robotech and Superbook when I was two as well. And Dune when I was six months old, courtesy of my dad.

Kid doesn't need to understand it to have fun with it.

dude, I sang the theme song of totoro (aruko) to my kids when they were in the womb to get them to stop kicking so much. I'd place my throat against my wife's tummy, and sing that way, so the vibrations could be felt as well as heard.

after they were born, that song was one of only two things that could calm them down when nothing else would work. they'd sit there and smile the whole time it played, and the start back up again once the song stopped. I even had to make a cd with that song on every track just to help them fall asleep, and not drive us crazy by putting it on repeat.



it's NEVER too early to start. the occasional kick in the throat when i stopped singing was totally worth it.  :D

(myself, i was watching Gatchaman in english and german when I was 3 and 4... which dates me, but hey.)

Went to Iberanime 2014 today. Since this year they didn't invite us to make Kyudo demonstrations, it simply meant I got to fully enjoy the event, dancing and playing games and properly checking up the exotic merchandise instead of getting stuck repeating the basics over and over again.

Took my Kyudo gear anyway, and lots of people asked me to take photos with me, or with me posing with the drawn bow.  :D

Also, here's a group cosplay photo, where I somehow ended up at the mid with the light shining on me. :cool

As a Kyudo apprentice by dressing up in my Kyudo uniform and walking around with my Yumi. Wait, does it still count as cosplaying if you're  the real thing? :p

Which reminds me, the most popular cosplaying at the event seemed to be girls dressed up as the main squad of Attack on Titan (including male characters. Specially the male characters).  They took both third and first place in the group cosplay contest, with two separate groups. Which is kinda cheating if you ask me, since that show's clothes and hairstyles are pretty "normal" as far as animes go. Just grab a jacket and some shorts/skirts, stitch the emblems, make sure you have short plain hair and you're good to go. :P

(second place was a pair of girls in fur bikinis with spears, seemed like they were cosplaying as some LoL characters).

Got a letter from a former employer today.  I have $1200 in unclaimed checks.  All I have to do is fax in the form they sent me along with a copy of my ID to get them reissued. 
I'm not arguing, I'm explaining why I'm right.

It's legit.  I went through my stuff and found the out-of-date checks I never cashed.

I just spent way too much money on scuba gear. On the plus side I now have a lot of good quality equipment and my certification class starts Monday afternoon!

Ugh, soo much money though.

My kitty went missing after a trip to the vet but has returned safely!

Also the DM for a Call of Cthulhu campaign has been foolish enough to allow us 2500 pounds of dynamite...

And I get to play Madman Mundt.

This reminds me of the story legend of Old Man Henderson...

My ex and I are kind of sort of getting back together but not officially because I'm probably moving out of state in December.

I'm still very happy about how things are going though!

It makes me happy when I see people using my character sheet templates in play-by-post games.   :cool

Date yesterday went exceedingly well. Spent the whole night out, got home 10am. No sleep. Worth it? Hell yeah.

Another date today. Fourth this week. Never thought i'd score a good girl so fast via online dating. Hooray for me!
