Yesterday I hung out with my brother and sister. I took them to the conveyor-belt sushi place on Airport to (mildly) dazzle them. But we got there at 3 in the afternoon and we were the only ones there so the sushi had been doing quite a few laps by that time. Room temperature maki? Bleh. They still enjoyed it though. After that we went to go see "Shutter Island," which turned out to be much better than I expected (I had my doubts since Leonardo DiCaprio was in it). The first half of the movie I was thinking, "This is how the Silent Hill movie should've been. All it needs is fog!" The second half I was thinking, "This is Memento! We're going down the rabbit hole!" Yup, I was quite pleased with it.
After the movie was dinner, then idle chatting time. Everyone headed out at the end of the night.
Oh yeah, I managed to get a comparable laptop yesterday morning. I sprung for one about $100 more than my target, because I impulsively decided I wanted one with webcam capabilities. (Maybe I want to be a camwhore too!) I've been transferring my big computer onto the satellite laptop; it's been taking hours. And that's not even including the mega-database of porn. I'll be leaving most of that behind, I ain't got the patience to do all that downloading. Ha ha ha. Just the basics: anime, music, and cosplay stuff.
For weeks now I'd been meaning to write a post about my new house and new neighbors but I never actually got around to it. Anyways, my neighbors to the east are 3 or 4 guys. I've only met one of them in person. He was a bearded, very tattooed 20-something guy. Apparently he'd been meaning to introduce himself, but hadn't had a chance because I'm "never home during the day," according to him. (i.e. I work 40-hr weeks and them not so much) They all work at Home Depot, which makes them cool with me. But their big . . . . passion is their rock band, to which they all belong. And every night they practice. They always quit before 10 pm, so I don't mind. Judging by the bass guitar and drum beats that come through my east-facing walls I'd say they're a death or black metal band. Every time they start playing, I think to myself, "I have a sudden urge to watch Metalocalypse." The picture I'm trying to paint here is that these guys are serious hombres.
Why did I bring all this up? Well, because this morning I got another reminder of how BRUTAL they are. When I set up my laptop for the first time, it went through it's network auto-detect cycle. Some wireless networks popped up with names like, "Cindy's computer" or "Home PC". And then there was one very strong signal named "SATANRAPE666".
. . . I'll never dare to steal their WiFi.
Today I've got to do tons of laundry and pack. Right now I'm pretty hungry but I've successfully emptied my pantry, so I don't have anything to eat here. I guess I've got to go eat take-out. Bleh. I'm kinda tired of that stuff. But I need fuel to get everything ready TODAY!

Kind of off topic, but I was kind of wondering if you're going to try and keep up with working on cosplay stuff up in the great north? One of my friends is looking to commission a really simple prop for D*Con. And I thought of you but I didn't know how well you'd be able to work on stuff for a while.

Yeah, it'll be a lot like Dallas, where I'm stuck in a hotel room every night with not much to do. I'd be open to the idea of a commission.

Okay! I will suggest you to my friend then.

AAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (at the SATANRAPE666) XD

I thought Shutter Island was basically "A Beautiful Mind" except on an island. XP
