Wolverine has always had crazy hair.
But now, it's anime crazy.

Monday AMV
I had a big presentation today at work which, fortunately, went very well. Since I was too nervous to eat lunch I stopped at Chili's for steak and mashed potatoes. Judging by the odd looks I was getting, they don't get very many people in suits there.
Let's sit back and relax with some Soul Eater, which I've been watching online.

Ow
It was sparring today at Krav. With 4 minutes round.
But instead of focusing on how many times I got hit in the face, lets focus on more pleasant thoughts.
Thoughts of Deadpool:
Thoughts of Big, Curtainy Dresses:
Whatever the crap this thing is:
More Deadpool:
And ninja guys who thought I was hot:

Temari says, Let's watch some anime!
The convention was awesome, and I got to see some cool new anime. Like this one, Soul Eater.

Harry Potter
So my work friends AND my roommates are all going to midnight showings of HP7. (Not together)
Basically, all my social groups are going to see it and I can't go. I simply can't. I have so much to do at work and I can't do it on 3 hours of sleep.
But it is KILLING me.
Stupid grown-up responsibility.
Hope its awesome. :)

Otakon is this weekend!
Otakon is an anime convention in Baltimore, and I will be there as Temari from Naruto.
The girl with the enormous fan.
Which means I have spent the better part of the weekend prepping and spray painting. Actual construction of the enormous battle fan is being handled by my awesome roommate, The Starving Artist.

Jump Rope, the Infernal Device

Videogames at Wolftrap
During the summer, the National Symphony Orchestra puts on some fun concerts at Wolftrap, an outdoor venue maintained by the park service. They play various movies, and the symphony and choir provide a live soundtrack. I love it. It sounds so amazing. We've been to their Looney Tunes show, and Rodgers and Hammerstein. Last night we went to VideoGames Live, and in a few weeks we have tickets to Wizard of Oz. We like to take picnics and sit on the lawn.
Except for Wizard of Oz. We bought seats to make sure we'd have a good few of the movie. I can't wait!
But last night we were on the lawn, so I stopped in at Wegmans. Wegmans is a grocery store that's a lot like Whole Foods, except its about the size of Kansas, and they only ask for an arm, instead of an arm and a leg at checkout. But they have all kinds of fun prepared goodies, so its a really good place to stock up for a picnic.
We were a little late, so most of the lawn was already filled. We found some seats right around the big screen, but we could see the little screen on the inside, where the seats are.
On the screen they played montages, cut scenes and game play from video games while the NSO and choir played the soundtrack.
It was awesome.
They started out with a classic game montage that had everything from Pong to Dragon's Lair. Donkey Kong never sounded so good.
After that they had montages from modern games, some of which had really impressive soundtracks. God of War had an operatic solo, and I'm actually thinking of looking for the soundtrack to Final Fantasy 7. It was really fun to watch, even for the games I had never heard of.
They also had this guy:
He was amazing. He played for us blindfolded, but even when he wasn't blindfolded he was still wicked fast and amazing to watch.
There was also a video of a live action Ms. Pac Man being chased by the three ghosts through the streets of New York that was hilarious.
Lets see, they had some 20 yr old kid play space invaders while the symphony played the soundtrack in real time to his game, but he was HORRIBLE and didn't last very long. As a consolation prize they give him a home version of space invaders so he could practice.
They also had a guitar hero competition. The guy who won then played Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion on expert while they symphony played behind him, and the thousands of people in the crowd cheered him on. He was awesome! Even on expert he had a 609 note streak, scored over 300,000 points, and won a free laptop.
Videogames live is touring, so if it comes to town near you, I recommend seeing it.

Status Report
So its been three days since I've been back and I'm over jet lag and any day now I'm going to make it to the grocery store.
But Monday morning, 5 am came awfully early.
I've been trying to get a schedule change at work since December, and it was supposed to go in effect the Monday I got back. However, no one seemed to remember this but me. It wasn't on any of my emails, it wasn't in the time system, and no one in admin seemed to know what I was talking about, so I just worked a normal schedule.
Tuesday I got an email that said, basically "Congrats! You're schedule change has been approved. You owe us an hour." So I've had to work late for the past two days. Its alright though, because I finally have my schedule change.
Tonight I worked until 5, and then drove straight to Krav. It was a sparring day, and I felt everyone of the 14 days since I'd been there last.
And the onion rings I had for lunch.
During the push ups I could feel my arms whimpering something along the lines of "I thought we weren't doing this anymore! We've gone all weak and wobbly!"
On the upside, there was a really good looking guy there tonight. On the downside, I accidentally kneed him in the groin during mass attacker drill.
Hard, judging by the amount of time he spent in the bathroom.
I feel really bad about it.

Monday AMV - Jet Lag Edition
First full day of work after vacation + 2 hours time difference = zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
While I was at home my little sister lent me her King Quest's collection. We used to play those games all the time as a kid, and I can't wait to play them again.
Even though you die constantly and the only thing I really remember is that you defeat the Yeti by throwing a custard pie at it.
In honor of King Quest, one of the best parts of King's Quest 6.
