And it looks … really different from previous WP. Actually, it reminds me of something familiar, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Anyway, I’ve been God-awful about blogging, and I really do apologize; I have so many venues for different things, and then when I finally give meaning to this place, another avenue appears that hadn’t previously been in my consciousness, an avenue of usefulness that, alas, would replace whatever functionality this place had to offer.

But, I’m not going to make more excuses, and I’m also not going to give you up, either. I just have to get back into the habit of just logging in, at least, to spur some sort of writing out of me

A shortlist of stuff that’s been going on:

• Moved from WeHo/Beverly Hills to West LA. Love it 100x more than where we were. Robertson Blvd’s expensive boutiques and restaurants do not agree with my income (with the exception of Gyu-Kaku–I LOVE THAT PLACE FOREVER and it was great to be able to walk to it and come back home responsibly inebriated!); however, West LA Santa Monica Blvd’s food offerings do!
• Working full-time for the summer. I’ve forgotten what it’s like to work full-time! Luckily, I have a decently fast computer set-up at work, and all the coffee I can drink (and a decent Italian deli, as well as an excellent coffee shop right around the corner, too), so I suppose I can’t complain!
• I’ve been playing a lot of TF2 … again. I took a very long break from the game (about a year?), and back then all I would play was either Medic or Sniper. Now I’m sort of a whore for Demoman. It’s been fun, though, and I still can’t get enough of Payload >_<

Loving it, hope you will too. It includes a few select stuff from other stations that I like, as well

Well, there goes the one-blog-post-a-day thing! I kind of felt like that was a bit spammy, though So I guess I should change that to a one-blog-post-a-week thing, instead!

Much has happened since my last update:

• I completed my vegetarianism, without too much difficulty toward the end. I even continued editing myself, out of habit. Heck, I still don’t feel like I really need to eat meat (much to the chagrin of my friends), but I’ll do what I do!
• I went to Las Vegas during the last weekend of February to celebrate a friend’s birthday!
• I played a lot of board games the weekend before that!
• I started preparing a (new) character for D&D 4E with my friends!
• I finished school today! Turned in my final project and had my portfolio critiqued by my peers!

And I ate a little too well, throughout it all. Easing back into eating meat has been an interesting experience; it started out very strangely (I couldn’t believe I was eating meat! It seemed wrong!), and then I got used to it, again. But the fact that I got used to it tells me that it’s something that I could easily negate in my diet. But, I did rather miss bacon + sushi (Long parenthetical aside ahead: So I’ve been having some moral issue with sushi, especially in light of the recent whale meat incident with that restaurant in Santa Monica. It’s not so much the idea of not knowing whether or not a restaurant I’m currently patronizing is serving whale meat, though, so much as it is the simple fact that fishing contributes so much environmental damage. Restaurants definitely don’t have to disclose where their fish come from, and the supposedly very best Japanese restaurants have their fish imported specifically from Tsukiji Fish Market in Japan, once a week or more–an incredible amount of carbon footprint to cover. Where is the comfort in eating sushi when you know that not only is the fishing methods for it harmful for the ocean and its ecosystems, but also the fact that many of the beloved sushi meats have trace levels of mercury that could be unhealthy if consumed frequently? I guess it’s all in the end product: how damn good sushi is! I haven’t really fully developed my feelings/stance toward the subject, but for now, I suppose I will be eating such things in moderation. By moderation, I mean once or twice a month )

Anyway, more updates will come, as I am (a little bit) freer to do so this week
