Congrats Kari, lovely artwork too! *__*

The best part of my first day of class was almost certainly my math professor, an engineer by training/trade, quoting TF2's Engineer almost word-for-word accidentally. (Probably.)

[Pitkin]

That's a lovely drawing, Choco! It'd deserve even more visibility than just one post in the topicless!

Congrats for the milestone!

[Chocofreak13]

heh, thanks guys. ^^

@pit: one, your new user name is adorable. ;v;
and two, what should be done with it? :0



we (me and Steve) have been given so much food lately...

[Nichi]

So, I setup the new router at grandma's office (Finally retiring that old Wireless-B router that I'm surprised still works, in favor of a fairly high-end, gaming oriented Wireless-N router I bought at a thrift store a few weeks ago). Now, to take a break by going for the hike I mentioned, before coming back here to upgrade dad's laptop to Windows 10.

the upsides of today are that i got a new sweater in the mail, and a bunch of free food (canned goods, pasta, jar of sauce, potatoes, etc etc). also kicked off the anime club, which was nice, and bought a cute(sad) picture book. and technically we dropped off the car BEFORE i got gas, so at least i didn't sink money into it this week. :\

other than that, this day is shit, especially combined with what else has gone on this week. can't go to the special dinner with the other librarians tomorrow, which sucks, but is also kind of a relief, since it was kind of far and kind of pricey. :\

[Nichi]

Wow; at least the van never gave me problems on that level :[
(The Dart sure did, though. That car sucked)

[Bella]

Sorry about the sucky day, but damn that sweater is cute! :O

Today in the CS lab me and another student worked out math/logic stuff on the big whiteboard for like a half hour! How sciencey!

Also at various points our professor punched the floor, almost tripped over himself and went on a tangent about RWBY.

[Nichi]

You know, I kinda want to see RWBY, although I know it seems to be an extreme target for hate among anime fans...like anything extremely popular :\

[Bella]

Same here, apparently our professor really likes it! (And yes, we ended up discussing whether or not it should be counted as anime at one point...)

[Nichi]

Mmm. I've seen it lumped in with Kappa Mikey and My Life Me in a post someone on Tumblr made, showcasing what happens when the west takes inspiration from the east...and in contrast, how when the east takes inspiration from the west, we get Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and Space Dandy.

[Chocofreak13]

dude, the kids i mentor eat that shit up, so do a lot of cosplayers i know. it begs the question that i've been reading about at work when i have time to kill. as far as i'm concerned, it's anime, but on the weird fringes with the other CG-only stuff. (it's made using a Japanese program, for shit's sake).

@bells: it doesn't fit properly, sadly, but only in that it's too short, everything else is fine. so rather than a sweater dress like in the picture, it stops at my hips like a regular sweater. :0

@pent: yeaaahhhh, i REALLY don't want to let Katja go at this stage (she hasn't even broken 59k miles yet). but since we only paid 2 grand for her, if it's something major like the electric/computer, i may not have a choice...

[Nichi]

Indeed; a computer for it will be very expensive. To put into perspective, the computer for the van I used to have is less powerful than an original PlayStation, which was made around the same time...but the van's computer is far more expensive to replace.

[Chocofreak13]

it's a car part, not a toy, so of course it'll be more expensive. it may be less powerful, but a faulty playstation won't kill you. :\
