New House Pet

 

Good Monday to you little bots. Fall is finally here in Seattle; more rainy and cold weather to come so I can finally put away my shorts and tinny tops that I feel like a walrus in. I'm miss wearing boots (they are are so uncomfortably warm in the heat) and I can wear dark colors and not feel hotter than wearing lighter colors. And yesterday I finally had a pumpkin spice latte and a burned out my last summer smelling candle, now my apartment will smell of pumpkin and spices!

This past week my man bought a new addition to our family... a roomba. I think it is his subtle way of telling me that I suck at cleaning the floor. The cat were afraid of it at first but are now warming up to the little vacuum that moves their food dish around. As soon as one figures out that they can sit on it and go for a ride, I'm filming that shit!

The rest of the week consisted of me job hunting, setting up meetings, and playing some Destiny. That game still sucks, it's one giant grind mission after another, and the only time it is fun is when you play with your friends and you all are above level 24. It's the only new game out so that is why so many people are playing, but as soon as November and December releases roll out I bet you all a bunch of people will stop playing Destiny.

This weekend I meet with my good director friend of mine for an up coming project. The upside is I defiantly have the gig; the down side it's not until February. So back to scrounging up gigs and jobs until then. Also this weekend my man and I visited my mother for the day to help her set up her printer/scanner. Well my man set that up while I played with the doggies. It was nice to have my boyfriend visit and we all interact with each other.

This week is more of the same, finding work, cleaning house, going insane. Oh! I found my new favorite nail polish! It's by ciat`e and its textured and black with green sparkles in it. I just love it! Have a good week my little bots and finger crossed I figure something out for Friday's blog.

5000+Page Views!

First off than you little bots for the 5000 page views in less than 2 years! When I opened up my blogger page today and saw this I was in shocked. This past January which was the bench mark for year one of this blog and I think I was around 2000 page views... but to be at 5000 before my year 2 bench mark is blowing my mind right now. I know I was off line for the past two weeks, desperately find work and jobs were preoccupying my time and energy. Also helping out the parents and a financial situation with my man had my head in a tail spin.

The week before last, my dad was home early from Peru not because he is finally retiring but a wild mountain dog that runs lose around their job site bite him on his hand. As a result he had to be rushed home to recover and get a clearance from his American doctor to go back to work. But while he was here I visited them a couple of times, went out to dinner and lunch, some shopping, and they gave me an early Christmas present! A hat/coat/umbrella stand! I've been needing on forever. I love it so!

So on monday of last week my dad was good to go and flew back to Peru.

Also last Monday I saw Neil DeGrasse Tyson show at the Paramount theater. If you follow me on twitter @SchadGirl you would have seen my gleefully tweets about this show. But to sum up for you lovely bots if you have the chance to to see him live do your self a favor and do it! Even if it means eating rice and beans for a month. It's more of a history and reflective piece and it lasted for us over 3 hours, well worth the price tag.

The day after I had to send two days over at my moms house while she recovered from a pre skin cancer treatment. She couldn’t leave the house and live in complete darkness for 2 days. It was a friendly reminder to never go out into the sun. I was going to come back home on friday, but I convinced my mom to finally get a smart phone for her and I. You read that right, i've been using a basic phone that could only call and do text. But I am no finally caught up to the 21^st century and loving my new phone. However this delayed me from coming home by two days. I had to teach my poor mom how to use her new phone and set up some features for her.

I'm back now, have some meeting with a good director friend of mine for some up coming projects! Been playing a little bit of Destiny and I have to say it gets old really fast. Unless you are playing with friends, you will get board and the lack of story will make you scream. If you want me to do a full review let me know in the comment section below or on twitter. Thank you once again little bots for 5000+ page views and I will let you know where we are at come our 2 year blog date.

The Boring Life

Hey little bots, a day late blog but I figured you lovely people are too busy playing Destiny right now to even notice my delay. Not that I had much to say about this past week, job hunting and looking for part time work is so much fun to talk about. Yes I live the boring life but you keep coming back to read about.... odd.

The only new news is that I have started exercising regularly again. And we all know how well I've stayed on track in the past. Just this past Monday I've already messed un my limited calorie intake and as a result my body is mad at me. So now I cant trust a fart and eating broth type soups. I'm hoping that this only lasts a day so I can get back to working out. My goal is to finally be rid of my belly fat by the time ECCC 2015 rolls around. Get it roll...fat rolls... I like puns a little too much.

Well this week is going to be more of the same as the past, but with maybe some play time for Destiny just to see if they even developed a story for that game. Catch you all Friday for another blog posting.

Bitch'n Friday: Good Month For Game Releases

Now that the summer slump of new game is over, it is time to focus in on the up coming game for fall and christmas season. Already September has pushed out peaked my interest in up coming games that have released and soon to be. Here are a few that I'm going to buy or have already purchased.

Dance Central Spotlight (Xbox One) – Out Now

I've been waiting for over a year for the new installment to come out for the One and it is worth it. The improved motion tracking with the kinect is so much better, I love the new and improved Fitness section. The routines change and keep you on your toes every time you play the same song. For $10 the game comes with only 10 songs; some people will not like the fact that it has become a micro-transaction game, but I see it as a way to truly customize your playlist and dance to the song you like. I recommend it for those who want a more dance routine workout or a game night game.

Minecraft (Xbox One, PS4) – Out Now

It's finally out on the next gen consoles after months of waiting and pushed back released dates (the One edition was released a day early along side of PS4). The worlds are bigger, textures looks about the same from the previous gen, and and you can import you already created worlds so you don’t have to recreate them! Hours of soul sucking commence!

Destiny (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3) - September 9

One of the first big titles to kick off the Fall games. I'm still curious and on the fence about this game, interested to see if they can flush out a story. You can read my thought on the Beta here: Bitchn' Fridays: Destiny Beta Review

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (Xbox One, 360, PS4, PS3, PC) - September 30

This game seem interesting to me, an open world where you can choose what type of game style you want to play sound amazing. Check out Rooster Teeth demo of the game.

What fall games are you excited to play? Let me know in the comment section below.

Hair Change

Good Monday little bots, hope you are all enjoying this Labor Day weekend before you go back to school or work. Both PAX and Bumpershoot is wrapping up today, so no more obnoxious teens and young 20 passing by my apartment coming to/from Bumpershoot! With the kids going back to school and summer winding down I can finally relax and not yell at people to move away from my window at 1 in the morning.

This past week has been uneventful, mostly been working on vamping up my resume and cover letters. Since it was so boring I decided to change up my hair. On Wednesday I decided to do the hair color my mom has been wanting me to do for the past two years... ombre hair... in green... so I would look like a tree. I had to go to two different stores, both of which were on the opposite ends of town for the bleach kit that I have used in the past. To achieve a true ombre hair I should have gone to a professional but fuck it I was on a budget of under 30 dollars. Over all I was pleased with my outcome.

I ordered the green dye online so I had to wait two days before I could dye the ends green. The dye I used was Manic Panic Green Envy, it was the darkest green I could find with out it being to turquoise. Once it arrived on Friday I immediately put it on the ends of my hair and a little bit into the brown parts as well. I usually leave bright colored dyes in for at least two hours on dry hair so it can absorb into the strands of hair. Washing it out in a cold shower, I was afraid it would all wash out, but to my amazement it stayed in! And now I have this fabulous shade of green in my hair. I love putting it up, it does resemble a tree.

For the rest of the weekend, my man and I stayed in avoiding the crowds of people and the hassle to get any where in the city. I did make these amazing doughnuts that are doughnut muffins! They are so good and addicting, you can find the recipe here: Doughnut Puffs

While I was a little sad not attending to PAX Prime this year, I am looking froward to Emerald City Comic Con next year. I really need to start working out hard core again, starting now. Those doughnut muffins were my last temptation! See you guys Friday for a rant or something.
