Hey, vegettoex. I know you don't want me making a fuss, but I have to write you an obligatory "Happy Birthday!" post on LJ. And so, here it is. Oooh, shiny. :P

• Using Twitter for work purposes has made me quickly detest users who post every 2 minutes. Need a better way to sift thru all this info. #
• @tsunamijones I should give it a try. I only use the site itself, and my home page is getting really cluttered with a steady stream of info. #
• @kalium I totally wish I could, but for marketing purposes, I have to follow as many relevant people in my company's field as possible. Ick. #

• Yay, got approved to leave early today. Gotta tidy the house up before the in-laws arrive today. #

• Having my folks + Nonni visit last night was fun. Had some cake. All worked out, since Transformers was apparently sold out. #
• I love how when I do a Google image search for "TV safe zone," the first result back is from @Daizex. :) #
• @Ashyukun Same here. I'd hate this to be the first year I don't enter, but it's looking that way. I have no ideas any more. ;_; #
• @Ashyukun In that case, I'd love to take some ideas off your hands! :P #
• @VegettoEX If we collaborated, I'd be happy to take a stab at the tech stuff. I actually REALLY wanna do that idea you said the other day. #

• @AndrewDeluxe Gah!! I really, really want to, but my grandma and folks are coming over tonight! Depends on what time, maybe. #

• @DaemonCorps The best part of that episode (to me) was "Is Jet... dead?" "It was kinda vague." Love that self-aware humor! #

• @AndrewDeluxe Woo hoo! Enjoy! Sounds like you really needed the day off. You're welcome over any time if you need to vent. #

Yeah, totally unrelated use of Zuko icon now. Just had to use it. :)

Speaking of Avatar, we have 5 or 6 episodes left. I don't know what I am gonna do with all my spare time when we're done. I think I'll feel empty inside once we finish the series. Maybe I'll re-watch it all on my own for any future AMV makings.

This weekend was all sorts of awesome. On Friday night (after a short Friday work day; yay summer hours!), gambitt,reifirstchild and andrewdeluxe came over for dinner, podcast recording (well, not so much for Andrew; he took advantage of our small bed in the basement and had a nap), and games. We played a DVD version of Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture 2, and I have determined that when we play in a group, Andrew will be the only person to ever win since he's the only one who knows anything about sports. :P

On Saturday, vegettoex and I went to Michael's (twice!) to buy poster frames, since they were on sale. We bought frames for DBZ/anime posters for the basement, and put them up on Sunday. The basement is now soooooo colorful and geeked out! I can't wait to put up some photos. Of course, it'll all have to come down whenever we sell the house years and years from now; I think prospective buyers will be scared off by the otakufied basement. We went out to eat on Saturday, and just hung out.

Sunday was spent cleaning, putting up the above-mentioned posters, and cooking for Father's Day. My parents came over for dinner, and we cooked for them for the first time since moving to the new house. We then played a lot of Wii Sports, which was quite fascinating (we haven't played as a family in years). Oh yeah, and Tyler bit my foot and nipped my dad's hand. I don't know why that cat had such an attitude yesterday!

The weekend felt nice and loooong, and I'm glad next week will be short due to 4th of July weekend. Speaking of, anyone have any plans?

• @VegettoEX Ahhhh, how I miss those simpler days. You know the encoding process is one cause for my lack of editing lately. #

• Watched Slumdog Millionaire at my parents' last night. Accidentally started driving to old apartment after the movie. Whoops! #
• @VegettoEX Wow, I think the TV special covers are really sexy-looking! #
