Hey all.
So, I realize I haven't properly posted for quite some time. Months, in fact, all the way before spring break. No real reason other than I was too lazy to. A lot sure has happened since, so I'll do the major events in bullet form.
- Went to Schultzie's on my way back down from paddling in Wisconsin, which was cool. Hung out, watched some Durarara!!, met his bro, and had a good time. Thanks again dude, for letting me swing by.
- First race of the season went very well, and won a lot of money.
- Went to Karoshi-con, which is the convention at Kat's college. That was pretty cool.
- Acen, of course, happened, and that was super cool. Lloyd was tremondous fun to cosplay, I had a blast with a bunch of people, even though I was mostly sleep deprived. Can't wait for next year.
- Did a big 70 mile race in New York with my paddling partner Gareth. Second time we've done this race, and for the second time, we completed it saying that we could have done so much better. Oh well, there's always next time...
- ECC is over, and I'm looking for greener pastures.
- Still no job, but at least I'm mowing now, so there's some income.
- Reserved a room for Youmacon, and building a group to go. RYO NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO REDEEM YOURSELF.
- And now, a more or less lazy summer...
I've been watching a lot of anime, especially to pass these dull days. I marathoned Kuroshitsuji, which I enjoyed, and Black Lagoon followed quickly after, which had the best English dub I've ever seen. I've been keeping up to date on Angel Beats, Durarara!! (over as of today D:) Ookiku Furikabutte Season 2(over as of next episode DD:) Hetalia World, and Heroman (which I'm actually rather behind on). Oh, and I zoomed through almost all available Metalocalypse in one day. And nows, I can'ts stops thinkings in a Toki/Pickles accent...
I also watched Toy Story 3 with my friend Max. That was really good. I didn't cry like most others (there was sure a lot of sniffling in my theater...) but there were some parts in the movie that made me a little emotional. Of course, this is the Tycho were talking about, so 'a little' is a bit of an exaggeration... >:D
Going back to the ECC thing, I'm currently waiting for a reply from Columbia College in Chicago. I don't think they'll get back to me in time, so I've started looking at other colleges. Particularly, Recording Arts conservatories. I was considering Full Sail for a little bit, but then I saw that it's in Florida...and I have reasons not to go to Florida anytime soon...
The one I'm most interested is actually in London, Ontario, which is about an hour and a half away from a certain princess we all know. The location was the last thing I noticed though, it actually looks like a really nice school (OIART, Ontario Institue of Audio Recording Technology, or something like that). I'd actually be set on paddling up there too, since that's where a guy named Bob Vincent lives, who is a notorious canoeing coach.
My record collection has skyrockted. I have almost 40 albums, and almost as many 45s. This is, of course, pathetic to any real record collector, but considering that I just started last August or so...that's a lot of music to obtain without pirating. And so much of it is so good. The last three albums I got were Nirvana Nevermind, Pink Floyd The Wall and Wish You Were Here. Those I got with an eBay giftcard. :D Some of the 45s I get are really cool finds, like this:
And I got a new amp! I play that a lot.
So now, I spend most of my lazy days playing games, watching anime, mowing, and paddling. Paddling is gonna start taking up a lot of time; this weekend I leave for Peshtigo, WI and the next for Arkansas for Aluminum Nationals. Week after I have a vacation in Michigan (which will be paddling AND sailing, see this video for awesomeness then the week after that will be back down in Arkansas for a 120 mile relay race.
I sure am leaving out a lot, but this will have to do. However, no post is complete without shameless advertising.
NEW UPDATE AT THE HEAD!!
