I don't want to continue to keep posting only about work, so I should probably keep it light, and say that aside from a few hiccups, I'm feeling good about being back at The Beach location.
Okay, so what else went on, outside of work? Oh, yes, I went to see Jonathan Coulton at the Mod Club (since he finally played a gig that wasn't on the Anime North weekend!) - I got his latest album, Artificial Heart, as well as his Concert CD/DVD, and a tour shirt (which I can't refuse getting, that's my habit)...
This year seems to be a year of the concerts. Christine and I have tickets to go see Gotye since we actually both like listening to him! (The running gag at work is that seeing him at concert would either be him playing "Somebody That I Used To Know" for 90 minutes, or just playing it once and leaving. XD) I also have found out that The Protomen are going to be playing with Tenacious D in Toronto... and I'm tempted but I haven't bought the tickets yet!
Here's a bunch of tabs that I need to close...
- Ray Bradbury passed away recently. Here's a LifeHacker article (odd!), but the video included is very inspirational. What caught my eye? “Sometimes You Just Have to Jump out the Window and Grow Wings on the Way Down.” :D
- An article for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
davidn: Why Valve's first "no" may not be final. I know you weren't accepted into Steam the first time, but now that you have some numbers to back up that your game is a good fit for it, now might be a good time to try to reapply. :) (That is, if they're not overinundated with applicants from this past week's E3.)
- Necomimi Brainwave-controlled catears. You know I want them. XD (I find it rather odd, however, that the video has been taken down due to the uploader infringing some Disney copyright!)
- Ni No Kuni is being released on the PS3 in North America, and unfortunately not on the DS. I think it had to do with the physical book of spells, despite many other games coming out with similar "feelies" that are needed for games. In any case, here's the English Trailer. The animation's done by Ghibli, if you can't tell. :D
- One of my friends online mentioned that he watched Ronal the Barbarian recently, a Danish animated movie with some particularly odd ball jokes. In any case, the animation looks awesome, and I found their YouTube Page. Check out their Barbarian Rhapsody. XD
- I'm still a little crushed by the Community news. I still feel that despite the shortened fourth season, not having the original creator may be the death-knell for the series. (I keep joking that you watch the first three seasons as canon and the fourth season as fanfic.) In any case, I continue to follow Troy and Abed blogs, and this one particular post really struck a nerve with me. (Also, the animated Christmas episode still pulls at the heartstrings. "The meaning of Christmas is that Christmas has meaning.")
I'm also working through the backlog of LJ. I apologize if I comment on something from 2-3 weeks ago. :P
