It was a hot and sunny day.  I was lying in bed, trying to take a nap before heading out to work.  Then, the door opens.  My room mate comes in and *plop* he drops a box on top of me.  I begrudgingly acknowledged this before promptly falling back asleep.  Then I realized what that package was.  Around a month ago, I ordered the whole set of Code Geass R2 off of Crunchyroll at a great discounted price.  I watched Code Geass already, but I loved it.  Now I’m trying to collect all the dvds (limited edition ones too).  I’m only 2 volumes away from finishing the collection!

What’s this?

:O.  Could it be?!

I’ve been reading a historical novel called “For Honour’s Sake: the War of 1812 and the Brokering of an Uneasy Peace” by Mark Zuehlke.  Now, if you know me, you might’ve realized I have a strong interest in military history.  While looking for good historical novels on Goodreads one day, I happened across this author and took note that he focused on mainly writing about Canada’s military history.  Me, being proud of being a Canadian instantly decided on reading his novels.

The novel itself is a great read so far.  It is very informative and details every aspect leading up to the war (and I’ll assume, of the war and post-war period as well).  The addition of quotes and background information on the major players at the time was a great touch and lends a helping hand for readers less informed on the topic.  However, due to this style, the author tends to divert on a tangent while explaining, thus making it a tad hard to keep up (especially when you’re already having trouble concentrating).  Anyway, I’m greatly looking forward to completing this book.

A (what I find to be) funny passage in the novel:

So I’ve been watching Eureka Seven lately and I have taken forever to finish it.  Admittedly, I had trouble finishing it near the end because I was getting rather tired of it.  I loved the series as a whole, but felt kind of bored at times and there were certain parts that were just dragged out for too long.  Despite this, the last 3 episodes really won me over and ended the series on a good note for me.   What a great love story <3

Aww, aren’t they cuuuuttee? :33

Then I went to Swiss Chalet with my friends (I wish my girlfriend was there =<) and a chinese restaurant with family (got some birthday money too~ :p). All and all, a good birthday this year =].

Hey guys, been a while since I’ve posted here. My mouse broke a couple of days ago; it won’t click anymore. Due to that, I haven’t played SC2 in a while (I’m sure my girlfriend is happy about this :3). However, before my mouse broke, I was practicing on my friend, Tofu’s, account. I played a pretty average TvT, but it had a special ending :3. So without further ado, here is my brief recap of the game:

*Warning, long and image heavy*

Tofu (Red T) vs Shortshift (Blue T)

The beginning

My standard OC opening

Been experimenting with this BO, 2 facts expo

Taking my natural

Securing both Xel’Naga Towers

After some more maneuvering and unit position, I have him contained

Sup, bro?

Oh shi-

Neat Explosion, note the big supply drop

Few seconds later, gg

Here’s the replay for those who want to watch the whole game:

Overall, I think I played pretty poorly that game. I was behind a lot in supply count and could’ve macroed much better. Not only that, I spread my line of defence too thin, trying to cover more area than I realistically should’ve. Thankfully, my opponent was too defensive and that was what cost him the game. I still need a lot of practice =p. Either way, that was the best nuke I ever pulled off in a game <3. Now to get a new mouse…

A couple of days ago I bought Minecraft and started playing with friends on survival multiplayer.  It was mostly my friends building a base inside a mountain and me running around killing everybody.  Eventually I joined them and we built a decent looking base.  Then we figured out the op commands.   What started as a prank by my friend to blow me up with tnt, turned into a giant bombing war.  Our lovely home became a demolition site within a few minutes.  So now, I present you some wonderful pictures of the destruction:

The explosion that was heard around the world. What’s left of my room

Our spawn site after the first waves of explosions. Yes, that’s right. There’s a chance you’ll respawn on the lava

The outside view of our base. There use to be a tunnel connecting that hole. And the hillside use to be more grassier.

The inside of our base. Still relatively intact

The outside of my room. There use to be a bridge where I’m standing at. And a lot more mountain.

Remember where I was standing at in the last pic? Well…. it’s no longer there.

We had another friend that joined in. After some more explosions and rebuilding. This is our spawn site now

Me….on a pig…
