Kung Fu last night = Awesome as usual. Although the drill we did in blackbelt club turned me into a moron.

Work today was pretty fun, with the running gag being that someone had heard on the news that today is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year, yet everyone was in a pretty good mood and it was Kelly's birthday.

Because I have decided not to be retarded about things that I really want, even though I don't actually have this money, I ordered Cloud and Fenrir. Remember how last time I really wanted the Cloud doll and didn't order it because I didn't think I should be spending money, and then I regretted it for three years until they re-released it? Not this time, baby. That dolly is mine. And don't forget, as the ad says, "Best of all, Cloud Strife can be posed astride Fenrir in a multitude of poses!" You just bet! ^_^;;

Let's see, what else? I'm bringing Haku in to get neutered and microchipped a week from today. Nervous? Yes, a bit. Salukis are notoriously nerve-wracking under anesthesia. And it's going to be a quiet day without His Little Lordship around the house that evening, because I can't pick him up until Wednesday. Although Trisky and Sano could probably do with a break from his antics for a while.

The biggest news is that on Sunday I'm going to Chinatown for the Chinese New Year with Erica, Sifu and Tristan. Now, you just know that's going to be a blast and I'm going to have probably a ton of stories to tell on Monday.

Next month is Disneyworld! I'm really ready for a vacation. I need it in the worst way. It's always a huge deal with boarding the animals and all, but this year Casse is going to come and house-sit and take care of Pendragon for me, so I don't have to board him. Pendragon gets to stay home, where he is warm and comfortable instead of cold and afraid, with strange people and animals going by all the time. Hopefully, since he will be in his home, he won't be so stressed and he will eat better. More importantly, he won't be freaking out and tail-whipping everything that goes by, and so he can keep his tail safe and sound this time. (*frantically knocking on wood.*) Overall, just a completely healthier and calmer atmosphere for him. How awesome is it of Casse to come and do this? How awesome is it to know someone that you can trust enough to let them live in your home for a week? Casse is one of the most honest and conscientious people I know.

Other news, hmm ... Jeremy and I went to the mall last Sunday, just because it's something we used to do in high school and we wanted to carry on an old tradition. I found out that both Dirge of Cerberus and Twilight Princess have been pushed back until June 2nd. June 2nd, people. Could that get any lamer? Actually it could, so I won't push my luck. And apparently both games are coming out on that exact day. So no one will see me during the summer, I guess.

Ah well. Right now I'm mostly looking forward to Sunday, which promises to be an adventure.

Xin nian kuai le!

Neat, but I'm not a mainstream religion, though.

Sifu, Sihing, Sije, and the middle-child Si-mui*

So, on the Kung Fu forum, someone started dissing on women in general. Well, you all know me; I can't let things like that go, so I got snarky. A few of the men there didn't like that, still trying to draw this imaginary line between men and women, and trying to push that button. One particular little barnacle that I thought I was rid of had to pipe back up with some more sexist stuff.

My training brothers came onto the thread and put both guys in their place. They so totally could have stayed out of it--our academy in general has already been warned to let these things go and not say personal things on the board--but they said their piece anyway because they felt it was worth it, that it was the right thing to do.

I love my training brothers and sisters!



*(I am the "middle-child Si-mui"--age-wise about in the middle, training-wise still the newest student.)

Does anyone on Deviantart know if this is true and as bad as it sounds? That's a link to a thread on Godawful about how the new agreement on DA basically makes you sign your work over to them once you post it. I'm about to yank all my stuff from there. Damn, and just the other day I was thinking how much cooler it was then stupid Elfwood, which is such a hassle.
