Less Than 12 Days Till X-Mas

Top of the Monday morning little bots.  looking around my apartment I see that Christmas is next week... fuck...  good news i have all the gifts bought, bad news i need to wrap them.  I hate warping why cant i just toss them in a garbage bag and say here.  I know I could buy gift bag but they are expensive and I don't want to go out to the dollar store in no man's land to buy them either.  I'm just going to be glad when all the tourist finally leave and I can get around my city with out a large group of people clogging the street.  KNOW YOU FUCKING SPACE PEOPLE!

I'm just glad my weekend was stress free, made some crab dip and had king crab for dinner last night.  I feel sorry for people who cant eat seafood, but then again that is more for me.  Surprisingly Pikes Market wasn't that crowded Sunday morning so mental note, go there on Sundays. 

Other than eating delicious seafood, I've been getting back into my workout routine.  Fingers crossed I can lose some inches every where before ECCC. 

Sorry for the lack of excitement, I was going to get a project this month but now I has been pushed back to the beginning of the year.  Been a little bit depressed of the lack of work, and the work that has been offered to me has been pro bono and I don't do that shit no more. 

I will have a geek gift idea for couples this Friday and a blog next Monday but no Friday blog next week.  I will be celebrating my dad's birthday and out of town for the good portion of next week. 

See you on the other side

Early X-Mas Gifts and Plans


My aren’t you little bots looking so fancy toady. Had a good weekend? Happy that the holiday video games are out or coming out? I am!

This past week I saw the end result of Women In Film Event that I helped out on in the planing comity. I think it was a good experience, disappointed that I didn’t/couldn’t network with the attendees since I was working the front desk. How every I did prove myself as an asset due to the large number of people joining the WIF group that night.

On Thursday night I was going to see a Jazz group from New Orleans but when my friends and I got to the venue the had canceled for the night due to being stuck in Idaho. Curse you cold weather storm! The bright side was finding a scotch bar with over 100 types of scotch. I'm such a lush.

If you read my blog last Friday, you would know that I dropped out of the cosplay commercial thing. You can read about on the blog. Im still on the email chain and they have yet to release a location, time, and script for this project...which is to shoot this weekend...Sunday I believe.

This weekend I saw Interstellar at the Imax theater. Some people were complaining about the sound design and the mix being to loud, but I found the mix to be spot on as was the design. Maybe they watch the film in a bad theater with a poor speaker system. I truly enjoyed it not going to spoil it but make sure your theater has a good speaker system before you watch. So much space organism!

After the film my man surprised me by going to Macy's and buying me my christmas present. What is it you may ask, well I'm going to show you when it arrives to keep you in suspense. All I can tell you is that it was expensive and I've been wanting/needing it for the past 2 years.

Have a good week little bots, remember to plan out your Thanksgiving menu. I will be sharing my menu and taking pictures of my cooking/food for next weeks friday blog. See you Friday for a rant or something.

I'm Alive and Back!

 
If my little bots are still out there, thank you for sticking it out these past few weeks as I move and take care of family. I've been working to the bone packing, moving and putting everything away in our new bigger place. I was was going to write last monday, but I was sidelined to helping my mom out at her home while she recover from her face surgery. Regardless I will be going back to a regular schedule this week.

So some exciting news, I cant remember if I mentioned this before, but my man and I was recruited by a friend to be in a commercial for an up coming game. I'm playing the union boss and I'm supper excited to be part of it. We should be filming this weekend or next. Either way I need to get my look together.

In other good news the Women in Film Recruitment Event that I've been helping is finally here! Well tomorrow is the event, but I don’t have to call any more companies for a while. I hate cold calling people and companies but surprisingly I did get a couple of companies to send up stuff, so go me!

Other than helping out my mom and WIF I found some time to go out and have fun. I participated in the Geeks Who Drink Ghostbusters Event (my man and I dressed up as ghostbusters). I can proudly say out of 17 teams our team came in 5th! Go Ecto Coolers! We also went out to dinner with some there friends to Kingfish Cafe, best chicken in town! And finally I spent way more than I wanted at Lush on bath bombs. So far i've only used the sparkler (the long yellow stick in the pic below) and I loved the send and sparkles it left behind.

Thank you once again for sticking it out little bots, I've been a bad bad blogger. I don’t have anything coming up that would hinder me to not write here, but if I do please check twitter to check out why I cant write. Have a great week and see you Friday.

Moving So No Updates For A Few Weeks

 
If you follow me on Twitter last night I posted that I am moving into a new apartment. This was completely fast, my man and I have been talking about moving into a bigger for the past year and 2 spots opened up in our building. We were notified by our leasing agent on Monday that 2 apartments are available; one now and the other in November. After looking at the apartments we decided to act fast and snag the bigger of the 2 apartments especially since apartments in our build go quick. How quick you might ask, well we we looking at one the day before and the next day it was gone.

So as a result on this rash decision, I have less than 2 weeks to pack up and vacate our loft and move everything into a 2 bed and 2 bath home. I don’t know what I will do with so much space now!

Sadly for you little bots I will not be posting anything up on this blog until after the move. But I will still be tweeting and Tumblr-ing so follow up on updates of my packing and the dreaded unpacking... so boring I know.

In other news this past weekend I helped a friend out on his 48 hour horror film, luckily I only had to show up the last 7 hours to do my thing. When I can show you bots the film I will. The 48 hour committee has a weird thing about about showing the films before the awards are announced.

So thank you little bots for understanding my short hiatus, I promise I will be back in 2 weeks. Keep your eyes posted on Twitter for any updates. To not leave you guys in the dark hole void enjoy this skit from Key&Peele about texting... I to over react/miss read texts a lot.

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 21st 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.

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.

Future Cosplay For 2015

The heat is almost gone from my apartment and that means my brain function is going to start working normally again!   Sorry for the lack of updates, last week was full of shopping and helping my mom out at the house.  Needless to say I'm on the prowl for more work/part time job.  the part time job would feed my new addiction of cosplay making and convention impulse buying.   I don't have any plans on attending anymore conventions this year, but  that also means that I need to shape up my body for my next planed costumes.  

  What costumes you may ask, well for ECCC next year I'm planing on doing another DC Bombshell from one of my favorite artist Ant Lucia: Supper Girl!
I just love this outfit, those boots!  I'm dying. 

The one I have planed is for RTX 2015.  It's Fem Sun from RWBY.
By Verdantos Grenice
Sun is one of my favorites from this series, and he has shotgun nunchucks!
Got to start working on my abs.

  Other than that, my man and I have been losing sleep over his works new changes in security towards vendors and what it means to his team.  What may end up happening is after working 18 months you are forced to take a 6 month break!  That would ruin his team and a majority of people who would be forced to take a break would find employment else where.  Everyone is scrambling for a solution and now it is a wait and see what happens.  Worst case scenario he finds another job in 18 months.

Changing the the subject to a more happier tune, Have you been watching the new Sailor Moon Crystal series?!  All the feels of childhood is rushing back to me when I watch it.  If you haven't seen it, what is wrong with you, go get your butt to Hulu and watch it!  To hold you over here is the full opening credits song by Momoiro Clover Z.


Although I prefer the opening song of Attack on Titian for the opening credits....



Have a good week little bots, see you Friday for something...

Bitch'n Friday: RTX 2014 ReCap

 
Hi little bots, it's been a busy week getting back to normal mode. I'm pleased to see that blogger posted last weeks post on time, hope you all enjoyed the “progress” photos that I took. I had so much fun down in Austin, seeing old friends that I would only see once a year and making new ones as well. Lets jump into my recap shall we....

So a couple days before we dropped off the cats at my parents house and the day/night before was spent packing/panicking over if I had everything I needed for RTX. We flew out July 3rd, I expected the airport to be a zoo but to my surprise we breezed threw security and had 2 hours to kill. The flight down was very smooth and no issues until we walked out of the plane. Holy crap, the wave of heat and humidity immediately washed over me. I felt so grungy while waiting for a taxi.

We saw our friend E waiting in line behind us and offered to share a cab with him. It was nice to catch up with an old friend and have the cab expended. We stayed at the Hilton a crossed the street form the convention center, its so nice to walk from a/c to a/c in a matter of 30 seconds. Our room faced north, which had the view of the Longhorn's stadium and the capitol build.




Sorry for the bad photos I was using my Ipad.

Day 1, I dressed up as a pin-up creeper from Minecraft. Simple cosplay but I love doing the make up on this one!




The convention center is rather small and it was cool to attend a smaller convention so you are able to see and do pretty much everything. We ran into a friend of ours on the show floor, and later that night we hung out in downtown, eating and drinking the night away.

Day 2, I was in my Catbug cosplay. Sadly the wrinkles could not be ironed out of the bottom part of the skirt and it also lost it's poof while traveling. It was still great but I want to fix it up and take some better pictures of this costume.




Also on day 2 was a lot of line waiting to get into panels, but we did get into the 343 Halo panel and immersion panel. Saw some awesome stuff for the Halo Master Chief collection: Gungoose!

The funniest part of that day was while waiting for the immersion panel to start, a guy ran (well more like plowed) threw a bunch of people to get a selfie with me in costume. He had his hand all over my man's face while trying to get the best angle for the selfie.

Day 3, I was awoken at 5 in the morning by my man saying he is going to the ER because he had kidney stones. Being the good girlfriend, I offered to go with him but he said to stay and enjoy the convention. He had Kidney stones before so I wasn’t really worried, I just wanted him to feel better. I tried to go to sleep after that but kept waking up to the a/c and texts from my man. When the convention opened I went out and enjoyed myself.

No costume that day, just some shorts and t-shirt. When I ran into my friends they were all concerned about my man, but I was just laughing it off. When he did return from the ER, we were both shocked how little the bill was...Texas is hella cheap! He napped in the room for the entire afternoon, I would go check on him and return to the convention.
Day 4, our flight didn’t leave until 6 at night, so we decided to go explore the capitol grounds until we had to leave for our flight. We took a tone of pictures of the capitol and RTX but most of them were on my man's hone and I just need to confiscate it so I can send them them to me.

Overall we really enjoyed RTX, we both have a few critics on how it can be run better and smoother, but I will save that for another day. We are planning on going back for RTX 2015, new costume is in the works for that one. Cant wait to visit Austin and RTX again!

Working For The Vacation

 

Happy Monday little bots! Last week was full of frantic last minute emails and sound editing/mixing on top of trying to finish my cosplay for RTX. If you don’t know what RTX is well it's Rooster Teeth's convention held in Austin Texas. Don t know who Rooster Teeth is... click on the logo here to find out more:

So last week was full of emails back and forth on altering the mix, having a deadline finally, and finishing the film once and for all! I probably did 3 different versions of the mix before today. I'm happy to say that I finished in time for the deadline so Team Awesome can send it out to festivals without having to pay for a late entry. I have not heard back from them since last night about my final mix, so yeah that is a tad nerve wracking but not much we can do at this point.

Aside from work, I've been busy throwing together my costume for RTX and praying everything will fit into my carryon bag. For the better part of week was spent hand sewing beads on my dress. I am so glad the Netflix has all the seasons of Dexter, I've been having that as background noise while I work is very relaxing. I probably spent about over 12 hours beading the dress. I also dyed my cat ears blue, make a harness, construct the wings, and finished my accessories. I took a few pictures but I'm not very good at recording my progress. I'll post some pics of it for Friday's blog.

Some sad news, my man's grandmother past away on Friday. I've only meet her once but she was a very nice lady. I'm very sorry to see her pass but her health was failing and i'm sure she is more comfortable now. Aside from her passing, I'm disappointed with the interaction and communication failure between my man and his mother. Once again they have butted heads, he is unable to make it out to the funeral service and she wants him there. I understand both points and arguments that both parties have made and I'm afraid their differences has driven a wedge further into their relationship. The only plausible outcome for them to every have a healthy relationship is counseling but I know my man would never agree to go. An intervention with them sitting down to talk would only result in them strangling each other so that would be a no go as well.
In the end they are both the same, suborn asses.

This week I'm prepping to fly out to Austin, getting the apartment ready for when we leave and having my mom take care of our cats. I hope Blogger will post Friday's blog without a hitch and instead of a Monday blog it will be on Tuesday. Have a good week everyone, stay tuned for some RTX recap when I get back!

Project Crunch Time

 
Hi little bots, sorry for not post on friday but I really didn't have much to post about on my cosplay that would fill an entire post. Last week I worked on the final mix for Team Awesome and worked on my Catbug costume for RTX. The majority of my week was spent on hand sewing covers for the outer shell of the ladybug wings. I really do need to get a sewing machine.

But this weekend I made progress on the rest of the wings, made the clear wing part and harness. I have discovered that I will need to assemble the wings in austin due to there size and me not wanting to have them go threw baggage claim. I've spent way to long on them to be broken and tossed around.

So today as I wait to hear back from Team Awesome I will be getting the back piece done so all I have to do in Austin is stick the wings threw it and tape that shit up. After that it is a matter of adding flair to the rest of the costume, I've already cut my wig and dyed my ears. With any luck I should have it done by the end of the week if that is all I have to do.

I'm Not Dead, Yet

 

Hah-aha, hemmm... sorry for not updating in like forever (nearly a month). I've been desperately trying to pin down and finish the sound mix for Team awesome, I just need to do a few more things and have them sign off and BAM, done. I really want to be done with this by the end of the week. So that is what I've been doing for the past few weeks, mixing/editing and sending it off, waiting for almost a week in some cases to hear back, and go threw the edit changes and repeat. Here's hoping that this will be my final mix.

Aside from work taking over my life I have gone out into the world, seen a few movies (Maleficent,Edge of Tomorrow, and How To Train Your Dragon 2), went to a soccer game, and even spent a few days with my mom. It was nice to get out the apartment and realize that there was a world out there.

During E3 week, my man took a week off from work for vacation. By vacation I mean sit at home, watch the E3 coverage, and play games. During that week I let myself slide a little and was lazy. Yes , yes the real reason why I haven't been updating is out of pure laziness. Hey, everyone is allowed to be lazy once in a while and I did have a few meetings, one with Team Awesome and another for another project that I will talk about...now.

I meet this guy at last month's Film & Music happy hour, an artist looking to get into film. Fast forward a few weeks later and I receive an email from him asking if I would be interested in working on 3 short films he is working on. I said yes, and we meet up at his studio to discuss his films. Sadly he is still in pre production and evidently did not look at my website or resume since he asked me to do the on set film mix. Another downer was the fact that all 3 of the short films would be a labor of love, meaning working for free. For now on whenever I get contacted by someone before I meet with them I am asking upfront if it is a paying gig. I have paid enough dues to not be paid and paid for my worth.

So that is the long and short of what I've been up to. Working on my Catbug wings this week, hoping to finish that before the weekend, thus giving me plenty of time to fine tune the rest of my costume before RTX. I'll post some pics of it on Friday and on twitter.

Clean Teeth and Skype Calls




            This past week was slightly less eventful and full of meeting prep.  Last week I was recovering from the convention and making plans for two separate meetings for two different projects.  I also had to plan then around my visit to my mom’s for my dental appointment.
            Sunday evening I received an email from a composer looking to work with me on a couple of projects.  After some back and forth emailing, we agreed upon a Skype meeting for Friday night.  The following day I heard back from Team Awesome, whom I meet last week at the Show your Shorts event and they wanted to work with me for one of their shorts as a background and Foley artist.  I setup a meeting with them for Saturday at 2pm via Skype.
            So awesome I have some meetings/work coming my way and now off to mom’s house for a dental appointment and a brief R&R from the con.  When I arrived I was surprised to see my sister there, sick and with out her family.  Apparently they arrived Sunday night and were going to go camping but my sister caught a cold and so her family is staying with her husband’s parents until she is feeling better.  Quiet frankly while I was there yes she had a cold but damn, she was milking it for all it was worth. 
            Wednesday came and went as did my dental appointment, clean teeth perfect as always.  I left the following morning back to a pig sty in my apartment.  Apparently my man can function when I’m not there, so I had to clean that mess up, oh joy.
             Friday came and I prepped for my first Skype meeting with the composer.  I tried to re-watch the film he sent me on Vemio but the video was no longer up.  So I went digging on this composer and all I could find on him was his twitter page and one sound could file.  Apparently this kid is starting out and it appears this will be his first film.  Which is ok, but I don’t know this guys track record and will make me proceed with caution if I end up working with him. 
            So I hope on my computer ready to go at 5:30 for my 6 o’clock meeting.  Six came and went, no word from this guy ant even an email.  I waited around until 6:45 and said fuck it and closed out of Skype.  I sent a nice email to make another Skype call for Monday at 3pm.  Didn’t hear back for the guy until 10pm.  Apparently his girlfriend had to undergo an emergency surgery Thursday night and he was with her all of Thursday and Friday.  I’m a little skeptical, it is quiet possible his girlfriend was in the hospital and I under stand that but pretty much everyone has a smart phone and to even send a quick email at some point before our meeting would have been nice. Let’s see if he makes it to this Skype meeting.
            Saturday’s meeting went a lot better.  Ten minutes before I received the files for the film, and we started out meeting on time.  It was a quick ten minute meeting, with a hiccup due to pro tools being on.  But it went well, we both felt that we were on the same page and I have plenty of time to work on the ambience and Foley for the film.  I’m very excited to work with team Awesome and want to prove myself to them so we can collaborate on more projects together.  I’ve set myself a goal to have the ambience done and presented to them no later than Friday.  That way they have the weekend to review and make comments so I can fix what they do not like about it.
            The rest of the weekend I say Captain America movie.  It was ok, predictable and you never felt like the Captain was ever getting his butt kicked.  I also finally hung up the prints that my man and I bought at ECCC, our bedroom now has some color in it. 
            This week I’m working on the Team Awesome film and also looking for steady a steady job.  I need to be making money on at least a weekly bias, even if it is some part time work.  I will still be looking for film work but until I get some steady cliental work or working at a post house it is looking like my sound career will be on the side burner.  Not the back burner cause I’ve found if you but something their it is lost and charred forever.

2 Weeks Wrapped Up In A Blog



            I’m a bad, bad blogger.  I haven’t been writing in my blog regularly and promised you false dates of blog releases.  Please don’t yell at me!  So what have I been up to, to cause me not to write?  Not a damn thing.

            Well this is slightly untrue.  The previous week (so like 2 weeks ago) I was running on 95% health, the zombie flu/clod was hovering around but not too bad.  I went out with my friend (lets call her Z) 2 days in a row.  It is nice to catch up and have new things to talk about especially when she dished about Women in Film event that happened the night before. 
            From her description of the videos shown, I am glad that I didn’t spend over $100 plus bucks in membership fee for one year.  According to Z, a majority of the films and commercial shown had bad audio, awful editing, and poor story.  There was one film that stuck out to Z was the pro-bono project that I dropped back in September.  Apparently the director was there to show off her project.  Well according to Z, the film its self was extremely slow paced, needed more structure to the story, and over all boring.  Z said the only thing good about the short was the sound mix.  She even said my name was in the credits.  The strangest thing about that is that I asked the director in my bouncing out of this sinking ship project was to remove my name from the credits.  So now I am wondering if they used one of my mixes that I sent her before I quite or pure laziness not striking me off the credits.
             I am not going to waste my time finding out; I have already wasted enough time on that project. 

            On a lighter side of my life I saw The Last Unicorn on the big screen.  So much nostalgia and feels for this film.  I have mentioned in previous blogs that this is part of a screening tour with the writer of the novel.  But being there with so many people who all feel the same about the film and book was amazing.  If you ever get the chance to see it on the big screen, GO! The Q&A alone was awesome and they even have sweet merchandise for sale.

            So that was two weeks ago, last week was a whole mess on its own.  I had to reschedule doctor appointment due to female issues… by issues I mean my period.  God I’m gross.  The shitty part about that was I have to wait 3 months to see her.  It is beyond ridiculous that she is schedule that far out, damn people need to stop getting pregnant.  A pap only takes like 5 minutes to do, you can squeeze me in.  I could see a nurse to do it but the last time I did that she fucked up on my pap test costing me more money to come back in and see a doctor 3 times in 6 months just to make sure nothing is wrong. 
            Oh and one of my mom’s barn cats had to be put down last week as well.  That is another childhood animal that I had to say good bye to.  That is the 5th pet that has passed on in a 3 year span.  It sucks to know so many older animals.
           
         
   On a happier note, I am digging my Xbox One.  We (my man and I) got the day one edition.  It even says day one on the controller.  It is so cool how you can program it to turn on your TV and sound system with your voice.  It is the all in one box that I have been wanting for.  As soon as we get our cable box I can watch live TV while playing a game! Hello Seahawks, I will enjoy watching you play in the side bar while I kill zombies. 

            This week is thanksgiving, and I will have a party Wednesday up for you to celebrate this day in geeky fashion.  Spoilers, its Muppet themed.  Also this Friday I plan on have a special blog for all of you black Friday people and holiday shoppers on what to get your man for a geeky Christmas present.  I will see you all Wednesday.
           
            See you on the other side

Nothing New in the Neighborhood


            Last week I just didn’t want to write.   Between coming back home and organizing my apartment this blog feel be the wayside.  Not a whole lot has happened but let me just give you a run down:
  • Secret  photo shoot was canceled due to the gallery not supporting the artists idea
  • Been waiting for over 2 weeks for any communication with the composer for silly boys so I can do the mix and be done with this project.
  • Saw 3 movies, This is The End=excellent comedy, Man of Steal=first 3rd of the film was good the rest was mediocre and horrible mic static, World War Z = good zombie thriller.
  • Attended “The Best Happy Hour” at the Seattle Center with a good friend.  Loads of fun and free admission is a plus.
  • The apartment is unbearably warm
  • Getting close to finishing the main story in Defiance
  • Hung out with a good friend and her new beau

            So that is that, job hunting is a bitch as always but a girl needs to support herself.  Be sure to follow me on twitter for what’s happening in my life.

See you on the other side
