Well, after not having written for about 3 months now, I am back, and PAX will be among us! How exciting is that? I went to Comic Con and Anime Expo this summer, and neither of those were as fun or as enticing as PAX was, and will be. It’s good that I went–at least, I got to know what it’s like going to those other two conventions–but, I now know that, for the most part, there is only one major convention/expo/festival that really fancies me, and that’s the one that takes place during the sunniest time of the year in Seattle

My Life in LA?

It’s been pretty good, actually. My summer classes were rather demanding on my time, particularly one class that went from a 16-week syllabus to a 6-week timeframe, resulting in a lot of homework if not due once a week, then at least twice a week! But, I got by, and I am happy to report that I got an A in both my classes! I’m taking Design II this fall at SMC, and am still waiting to finalize my schedule for CSULA–hopefully nothing short of fun, productive design courses that will help me reach my goal of turning out a Masters Program-worthy portfolio.

Other than school, I’ve been mostly just hanging out with friends, video gaming, eating (cooking and eating out), working, and trying to get my apartment together. I finally (three months later!!) got all the components of my apartment together; now, I just need to unpack, assemble, organize, and my apartment will be complete! I’m pretty excited, actually–it feels like I’m in the last 9 yards. So close to the finish line–I hope the long wait will be worth it For more pictures of things like food and … well, food, go to my Flickr!

Video Game + Books Round Up

So! The video games I’ve been playing have been: Heroes of Newerth, Shadow Complex (which we beat in 12 hours, unlocking Completionist), some DoTA (that was before HoN came out), and an unsuccessful run of L4D in Expert mode last night

While not gaming, I’ve been reading the Percy Jackson series, and re-reading all of Harry Potter (and thusly falling in love with the series all over again!). I need more YA fantasy books … any suggestions? No Twilight, please. I already tried to read it, and as much as I tried to force my brain to read like a 13-year-old girl, it just wouldn’t happen.

I will try to write in here more, but it would probably be more conducive if I actually made a new layout for the blog … ehh, we’ll see
