~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have looked at the blog every day for a week and thought "Gee, I should post". So here I am!

Most of you know, but on Saturday I passed my test for national certification as a pharmacy tech. Go me!

PAX was awesome!! There was some shenanigans for a bit when I lost my pass, but I got it back again. Pax is so huge, it would be impossible to tell you all about it. But a couple highlights:

Lots of Plants vs. Zombie cosplayers! Mostly zombies and sunflowers, admittedly. But they seemed to be connected to the booth- maybe an indication of a PvsZ 2?

Powerglove! A metal band that covers songs like the Power Ranger theme, Pokemon song, and the Tetris music. Being at their performance was SO MUCH FUN! And their stage costume consists of armor made of koopa shells.

The Handheld Lounge- For those moments when you need a break, PAX has taken a hallway off to the side and FILLED it humongous super comfy beanbags. Grab a spot, settle in, and chill out.

Children of Eden demo- it used Kinect tech and your movements are the controller. It is super pretty! And it looks really awesome.


Had to miss Frank's game, but it looks like the group managed anyways. I definitely look forward to the next one!

I picked up a Lady Gaga album (Fame Monster) and a disc chock full of Chopin. I've been listening mostly to Gaga; I'm saving the Chopin for when I can relax.

I bought Lego Harry Potter (Years 1-4) a while back. Last nigh (or early this morning) I finally got 100% completion! There are a few achievements I have to get, but those should be pretty easy. It's mostly killing things with specific characters.

I think that's about it for now. Ciao! <3

Tired.... so tired....

Been working crazy shifts lately, 9 and 10 hours long. On top of that, I've been pretty gosh darn busy.

Went to Providence on Saturday and bought Lego Harry Potter. I'm almost done with story mode, which everyone knows is the bit you play through just to get to the REALLY fun stuff. Besides, I already know the story.

Before that was playing Dynasty Warriors 6. You all pretty much know how I feel about the DW series, so I'll spare you.

Also attended Boskone 2 weeks ago- I have a fair amount of wonderful things from that, including most excellent memories.

Coming up, things are only getting crazier.

Pax East- It will be EPIC.

My national certification test

Frank's game (way psyched for this!!!) :)

Seeing a friend of mine with whom I've reconnected lately

Into Boston to see another old friend and talk shenanigans. Seriously, our conversations get way weird.

Add to this the fact that I'm gonna get overtime this week, and will try to pick up extra hours the next.

Oh! I'm going to try and read up on the Sherlock Holmes. But I've also started Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses as my next book.

Also, I have to go food shopping. I've had rice the past 2 days.
