Christmas

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas. Mine was nice and I had a great time with my friends later in the night.

BBCA had Doctor Who running all day, so that’s pretty much what we watched. We watched the new Christmas special as well and that was so-so. I actually fell asleep near the beginning (I blame it on three glasses of rum and ginger ale), so I can’t really give a proper review on it. I woke up in time for the last five minutes of it and that was a bit confusing and I decided that I didn’t really need to see all of it. This season had been full of not so great writing and the Christmas special didn’t seem any different. I’m also not that sad to see Matt Smith go. Yes, he was a good Doctor, but not the best ever. Honestly, I don’t have a favorite and think that they’re all too great in their own ways to call just one the best over all.

Also, after this poorly scripted season, I do hope they refresh their writing because I think Peter Capaldi’s Doctor will be great as long as they give him a decent script and not waste his talent.

Anyway, enough about all of that. Later on in the evening a friend of ours came over and we ended up watching episodes 1-3 of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure (the recent TV anime) and that was highly amusing. I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone because it’s not really for everyone, but if you love nonsense and enjoy great action animation, then this might be for you. And, of course, one of my favorite voice actors, Koyasu Takehito, voices the villain. I do love his villains. He’s just perfect at them, even better if they’re flamboyant, it just fits him. Watching that made me excited for the upcoming Stardust Crusaders which will be out sometime next year.

And that was pretty much my Christmas. Here, have a Phantom with one of his new toys.

Christmas Eve

Hard to believe Christmas is tomorrow (rather, in less than an hour for me). It’s felt like this year has sort of flown by in a strange way and Christmas sort of snuck up on me and I’m not quite ready. A lot of gifts from me to my friends are going to be more like New Years gifts instead. Oh well, it’s the thought that counts, right? I’ve been working a lot of OT at work since I’ve come back from Japan, so that’s delayed my gift getting. Just no time or energy to shop.

My Christmas Eve was uneventful and somewhat stressful compared to previous ones, but I did get some delicious rum to end my night on a good note.

Anyway, off to bed with me. I hope everyone has or had a happy holiday☆

Weekly Photo Challenge: One

Posted by lisamarie on

This was taken earlier this year while I was visiting family in Florida. My mother took me and two of my friends to Disney for a day. While we were waiting in line for the Haunted Mansion I noticed three cute, little birds hopping around in a tree near the water. I got my camera out and took a few pictures of the three. This little one in the middle had less movement going on, so I was able to catch him the clearest of the three.

There were actually a lot of photogenic birds hopping about that day, but this one turned out the best, I think.

Update of sorts

I have quite a bit to write about, but I’ll get to that when I have more time. The last time that I updated, aside from yesterday’s photo, was May, so a lot(ish) has happened since then. I’ll leave out all the boring/irritating work related stuff and write about the better things, like my Japan trip, which was a lot of fun and I wish I were back there, but with my cat this time. Being away from Phantom for over three weeks makes me miss that big, squishy ball of gray terribly.

Also, I’ll be working on revamping my blog for the new year. This time I really will be sticking to updating more because I’m more likely to remember it’s here if I’m paying for it.

Happy Friday the 13th!
Remember: black kitties are good luck!

Hello April

Posted by lisamarie on

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I’ll go back to attempting daily posts starting now.

Since I last wrote, in January, my company was bought by a better company, so we’re still easing into the mindset of belonging to a new company and getting used to the way that they do things.

February was uneventful for the most part..except that my roommate and I were able to purchase our tickets to Japan~! We’re both really excited to go back and see our friends as well as go to more parts of Japan that we haven’t been to. We’ll be there mid-October to November.

March was also uneventful and snowy. I’m tired of snow and I think it’s done for the time being, but I was able to get a picture that I was especially proud of—

I’m really happy I managed to capture that cute fluffy thing, haha.

All for now. I’ll update again later!

Mochi

I’ve discovered that my cat really loves mochi (no surprise, really). I never give him very much, but only a tiny bit for a treat now and then. But more than mochi, he really really loves red bean paste, haha. I usually have to fight the little guy off of me when I’m eating it.

And, nothing to do with the above, I’m glad it’s finally Friday tomorrow. In going to spend the weekend resting and making more items for my shop, so if you’re keeping up with my shop look forward to new items soon!

Birds

I’ve been noticing birds fly up on the deck quite a bit, so I bought a bird feeder for them. It’s just a small one, but I think I might have to upgrade to a bigger one after seeing how many have started flocking to it. There were at least 11 at once at different times during the day. A dove even showed up to nibble at the seeds that had fallen on the deck. It didn’t stay for long, though, because a certain Fatty-meow decided to charge at it through the glass, haha.

Speaking of, Phantom seems to love that more birds are showing up on the deck. He gets a lot of bird watching in during the day now. I forgot to get a picture of him watching his birds, but here’s one of him with his favorite toy, a fake rose. He became attached to it as a kitten and likes to carry this around the house.
