T-Minus Two Days; Home Stretch . . .

Two days to go, and I feel fine! Seriously, I have a weird way of getting seriously sick before critical events.

A bit of a weird Sunday, with laundry to be done tomorrow in preparation for the trip.

In one of his better performances, the Nostalgia Critic gets epic!:



I likely won't be able to post tomorrow; not for a while in fact, depending on what I do in Peru. Tomorrow will be a day of laundry, bed sheet changes, Advantage-ing Charlotte, and overall preparing for the trip. Should be an interesting day.

T-Minus Four Days; One More Weekend . . .

Two hours past Ideal Time . . .

Rough morning on several levels; a lot of messiness, but things have smoothed out. It's become a rather mundane day, other than a big weekend ahead of me, and a bigger week beyond.

T-Minus Six Days; Lazy Wednesday . . .

One hour and fifteen minutres past Ideal Time . . .

Not much big to do today, mostly viewing cued programs, some dating back two weeks, some way more. Oh, and enjoy some empanadas.

I noticed an interesting pattern on History (formerly The History Channel): they air two hour specials, and if they do well enough they become series. I may be wrong about some of these, but Dogfights: the Greatest Air Battles became Dogfights, Alaska: Dangerous Territory became Tougher in Alaska, Street Gangs: A Secret History became Gangland, American Eats: History on a Bun became American Eats, Bible Battles became Battles BC. Makes me wonder if Hippies, Mou
ntain Men, or Hillbilly: The True Story have a future.

My podcasts, at least the ones I listen to
most regularly, are all anime-related. Otaku Generation is the most general when it comes to topics, covering a lot beyond anime. Anime Pulse is far more anime-centric, and more hardcore period. Right Stuf's Anime Today is more polite and official in its methods, sponsored by actual anime company Right Stuf.

T-Minus One Week; Cleaning Up . . .

Half an hour past Ideal Time . . .

Well, that long-planned trip to my birthplace of Peru will be in one week. I may not have mentioned it much, but it's been in the works for a while. So, the period from March 24 to April 2 may be unusually free of posts. Two years ago I decided to go back when I literally had nothing better to do here. Still, I restricted myself to just four days, so that ended up being the dress rehearsal for this trip; yup, about two years of on-and-off planning. After this, well, things may get complicated, so I'll try to make the most of this one.

Got my underused car cleaned. Beyond that, just getting what I can done.

Interesting Start; Sleep is Good . . .

Three hours and forty-five minutes past Ideal Time (out of the shower by 8 AM) . . .

Interesting start to the week, getting up surprisingly early, even with a lot more sleep than expected.

Honestly can't think of anything else to say about today.

Getting the Week Over With . . .

One hour and twenty minutes past Ideal Time (out of the shower by 8 AM) . . .

A good bit of DST, going to see Watchmen, and a major repair/reboot to my main computer all contributed to knocking me for a loop. Anyway, I hope this post means I'm back.

Brain Age Day, not much more to say otherwise, maybe in another post.
