Dead July
Wah. 
What can I say?
To be honest, I’ve had an INTENSELY BUSY July so far. My weekends are/were all booked. Weekdays filled up pretty quick too. I have family from California visiting (Grandpa & Cousin). We have been crazy tourist-ing! So many places and so little time!
Huu…what else? Mayu’s spayed; I just got back from Tomato’s cousin’s wedding in CT; lots random trips into Philly historical district; went on a camping trip in Rehoboth, DE; trying to work in between; trying really hard to keep up with my correspondences but kinda failing; attending waaaaay too many parties and eating waaaaaaaaaay too much; Otakon is approaching FAST; big birthday month in August; buying waaaaaaay too much stuff; seeing Toy Story 3 & The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
It’s been busy. I’m sure I’m missing somethings but come August, I’ll be able to get back into my usual routine and relax a little. Who knew vacation could be so busy?!
And a minor rant: OMG EFF YOU VEET. I left the stuff on a little too long and now my right calf is all red bumpy and in subtle pain!??? GYAAAAAAAAAAAH. GOING BACK TO SHAVING UNTIL I CAN GET THIS STUFF LAZERED OFF. A bottle of that stuff isn’t cheap either at $9+tax!! OY. Maybe I’ll try again later…I’m gonna retire this brand new bottle to the BACK of the sink cabinet until then.
Gonna go and work on some of my letters now. Hopefully I can churn out a few 
Weekend Adventures!
And there are no pictures of it XD Friday night, the Tomato and I bumrushed down to VA for his dad’s 60th birthday (on the 30th). Got there, hung out and chatted a little bit, washed up and passed out from a busy work day.
Saturday morning, wash up, had brunch, picked up Tomato’s brother’s girlfriend from work and hit the Hallmark in that shopping plaza for cards. Headed back to the house because Tomato forgot his insulin (for those tuning in now, Tomato is diabetic, Type 1) 
& Bro-in-law’s GF had to change out of her work clothes. THEN we finally headed out for the birthday lunch with family 
Apparently, it is mass chaos when there is 2-4 inches of snow in Northern Virginia. Cars were everywhere on the road, saw at least 3 accidents happening. CRAZY 
It snowed and melted and dried up in Philly! Didn’t even look like any precipitation happened!
Got back, hung out and bummed around the TV watching Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares premier 
Dinner was roasted chicken, mashed taters, steamed broccoli, stuffing rolls & gravy. Good stuff 
Bro-in-law’s cats were highly amusing, ESPECIALLY the one named Gizmo. She’s such a SMALL cat but so very ROUND at the same time 
AHAAHAHAHAHAH! Tucked in after watching Jurassic Park on TV.
Managed to finish reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. Pretty good. He writes intellectually amusing books. Can’t wait to see it in movie format.
Sunday morning, we brunched/breakfasted, washed & packed up before hitting the road. There wasn’t any traffic at all! That made for a good drive back 
We got got home and there was poop/diarrhea and puke everywhere 
GOOD GRIEF! WHAT HAPPENED KITTYCATS?! The BFF stopped by earlier to pick up her kitty and helped with some damage control. Ever-grateful for that. Still have some stains to treat 
Hurr…that’s about it from the weekend. Will have to blog about Monday adventures later. Gotta locate where my friend scanned the purikura 
Last Weekend Was Fantastic.
OH LAWD HOW I MISS PHILLY.
We were there last weekend for an interview Tomato had. Here’s hoping he gets the job so we can move BACK. He’s supposed to get a call regarding whether he’d get the job sometime around NOW. But I haven’t heard from him all day so I don’t know yet? Tomato’s gonna give it until Monday and then he’ll call back.
Anyways, the rest of the trip was fun 
We got to hang out with some olllllllld friends of mine (my favorite crackheads). There are some pics! Kinda…
So let’s see if I can get back to that World Series winning town of mine 
Living in CT provokes the urge to buy all sorts of Philadelphia sports paraphernalia to “show support” for my home teams. ALAS, I don’t have money or the real urge to watch sports. HAHAHAHA. Anyways, a rundown of the weekend: arrived Friday night, went out to the interview location on Saturday morning, went out for drinks with some buddies, hung out at my parents’ shop Sunday morning, left in the afternoon, stopped by NJ to visit Mitsuwa & bought way too much crap, got home late Sunday night. All in all, it was fun. Now to see whether we can perpetuate that fun by living there.
I’ve been preoccupied for the past few weeks with making a comic. Feel free to see it here: 
It looks really…crappy thus far but I’m working on it
