I just want blog out  a bit.

 I have been taking a horseback riding class for the fall semester at my college. I think it has been going okay for the most part so far. Sometimes i feel questionable about it, but I just study up some and tell myself to do better the next time.

 I've only actually done riding twice now. So far, the most I can say for certain I can do is make the horse go and stop. I haven't really gotten the hang of making them go where i want them to go yet. There are so many small nuances to learn with riding. That small slight stuff is going to be difficult for me to pay attention to.

 Other than that there is the stable work and grooming which so far I have found easier than the riding, contrary to what the normal people think.

But I have been enjoying the horses and having some fun.

Work and been work. I'm still doing my custom framing.

The thought has been occurring to me lately to quit my job before the holiday season starts. Starting next month we're going to have to stick to a dress code which sucks. The only outfit I have that fits the dress code is my date outfit. Not that I get a chance to use it but I don't want to wear it often... Plus I really should have a job that pays a lot more than this. I'd like to get out before the holiday season starts because that is when people when get crazy and I have to work longer, more stressful hours.

Which brings me to another thing. Our Halloween stuff is already being phased out by Christmas stuff now. I wish to God that Christmas would stay contained in the month of December. I'm not big on Christmas, but I do like it when it is time for it. But I don't want to see this stuff all over when fall has just begun and see it overriding Halloween and Thanksgiving. It makes me despise Christmas... and it's not the holiday's fault, I know that. But every year it gets more and more stretched out. Like the the worsening traffic where I live. 

I especially want to leave before the Christmas music starts playing non-stop. I should put on some Trombe!... that'll override Christmas music.

 And lastly before I nod off, I'm going to go to the doctor and get a check-up, which I haven't had done in a very long time and get some certain others things checked out on me. I have a list now of things that need to looked at.

So I had a bad migraine attack last night.

Those are always fun... massive headache, racing thoughts, sore eyes, extreme sensitivity to noises to light(Thank you god for the wonderful thunderstorms that wouldn't go away) and the nausea... oh the nausea.

So I I think I timed it down to about five hours for the attack. I had the headache for all of it but got the nausea part halfway into it and that lasted for the rest of the attack. I feel like I want to barf, or eat something but I can't...

So I did some reading on migraines and read something interesting... that a day before a attack, a person can have extreme mood swings and be a bit out of sorts. I think that would describe me on sunday... I was feeling out of sorts that day... like my hormones were going a bit haywire all day. I won't get into detail about it but I suppose it should have been indicator that something wasn't right with at the time.

When the attack started coming on I thought I just had a regular headache and needed sleep so I took sleep aid. Nope, sleep aid didn't kick in til after the attack passed. I thought maybe I ate something bad but I couldn't pin a culprit... my family all had the same things I did and they weren't sick...

Anyway I'm better now. Just tired. I'm going back to bed for a couple more hours and then I'll think about lunch.

I just want to go over my Japanese Animation Quiz thus far.

 So far no one has scored above above a 50 so maybe I should consider it more challenging than I thought.

 Looking back over I just wanted to clarify my answers again to make certain of their correctness.

First question is fine. Books and animes go hand in hand in Japan but not all...

Second question should be obvious i hope...

Third question might be tricky but it'll stand.

 Fourth question is a challenge one. I wouldn't be surprised if someone had to look that one up.

Five is also a challenge question, but not as easy to look up. 

Six... I think now I should have specified that as the TV series as opposed to the OVA... yet the OVA isn't technically referred to as R.O.D....

Seven, another tricky one. Need to know your directors.

Eight. This a throw away question really. I surprised some people actually got this one wrong... 

Nine is another tricky one, but shouldn't be too hard to figure out...

Ten.. well I expect the majority of anime fans should know this... 

So maybe I should making another quiz... Just haven't thought of another genre yet...

So a lot of people I see now have disappeared... or had accounts removed for whatever reason. So I thought do some pruning of my friends list to remove inactive accounts.

Fuck, why does that make me feel bad? Something just gut wrenches me doing that having to kick someone off the list. It's not like they're coming back... maybe I should just leave it alone.

So I just wanted to say my long work week is finally over. My parents are back home now too so I no longer have my solitude again.

I really don't think I'm cut out to work 40 hours a week. I was feeling on edge for the longest while wondering when the next anxiety provoking event will occur. Well I'm glad that's over with and I'm back to my regular 20 hours a week.

Yeah I'm sure I made good money for that week. Know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to spend every bit of that money at Otakon.

That's usually my big reason for going to Otakon. To shop for deals with the vendors and get instant gratification.

I kind of have a list for what I'll be looking for there. Hopefully I can find more of the items on list than I did last year.

So here's what I know I'll be looking for.

1. MG Char's Zaku ver 2

     The new master grade Zakus are supposed to be the poo and I'm impressed from what I've seen in pics of them. If the Turn A was out already, it'd be on the list too, but I'll have to wait and order that one later in the year.

2. Masterpiece Megatron

    If I find one there, I'll pick it up if it's not overpriced.

3. Binaltech(Kiss) Rodimus

   Again, if I happen to find one, I'll pick it up provided it doesn't cost me a leg.

4. Import Games(PS2 Berserk or the PS2 SRW:OG) I want to play the Berserk game just because. Now the OG game might get a US release eventually, however since I'm still capable of playing it in japanese it would still be worth it to get it if I find it.

5. The Gundam Seed Astray mangas.

    I need some new manga to read and I've heard that the Astray series is pretty good(even better than the actual Seed series as some claim)

6. Anything else that catches my fancy. I can still think of a few things that I would like to get, like the MG Crossbone Gundam Full Cloth, or the Twelve Kingdoms box sets, or more soundtrack cds. Just have to see what I find. 

So yeah, that'll all be next weekend. Besides shopping, there'll be panels and workshops and people... lots of people as always. I just ignore them and stay alone as I do every year.

I haven't looked at the events list yet, but it's usually worth going to the Bandai panel just to see if they'll release ZZ Gundam or Turn A. (Probably not yet... again) They have a social workshop thing that I've wanted to try, but something else always comes up. Maybe this year I'll give it a try.

I also need to think about how to plan for meal breaks. These events are like being in the wilderness. I'll need to bring my own food since getting food can be a be a bit challenging when you're competing with 20,000 other people. Then you got to find a place to sit and eat. Thankfully for the past several years there has been a nice quiet balcony area at the convention center that has always been perfect for eating and getting away from the masses for a bit.

I got a bit of a headache today. That's what I get for not eating.

So my week hasn't been too bad so far.

Thankfully on Monday there was freight for me to which occupied most of time... though I still ended up nothing to do by the afternoon. I was tired, but stayed up playing games that night since my internet wasn't working.

It was so hard to get in the morning on Tuesday. I hate waking up before 9am. That morning at work was tough. I had brain fog and kept messing up things... pushing myself into a mini-panic attack and wanting to just leave. But I felt better after lunch and got more freight to do.

My family is gone for the rest of the week so I have my solitude time at home.

I created another blog for myself

http://zltd.blogspot.com/

More of an anything goes kind of blog.

My other blog about the writing is on hold for now. My mind is just too much elsewhere right now to keep working on it.

Ah, I am so tired today. I don't why I feel tired lately.

I am not looking forward to this week. I have to cover for the shop manager being away so I'm working everyday except sunday. Day poo.... monday, tuesday, thursday and saturday. Evenings on wednesday and friday. This is the most I will have worked in a week in more than two years.

I know I won't mind it too much if I have things to do, but on longer shifts I often end up with nothing to do and get bored out of my mind.
