nerding it up since eighty-five

So my mom passed away on April 6th. It's been rough. I moved in with my aunt and her boyfriend and things are kinda bumpy every now and then. I'm not up for writing a lot about it right now though.


My birthday is tomorrow. I'll be 23. Ugh. I'm not looking forward to it.


I went to see Iron Man last night. It's the first time I've been to see a movie in the theater since Batman Begins. (I sorta gave up on going to the movies since I rarely seemed to come out feeling like the movie I had just seen was worth the ticket price.) I have to say that I was not disappointed. Iron Man was just awesome. Easily one of the best comic book movies I've seen. The whole thing just worked together so well. Robert Downey Jr. was just amazing (I love him) and I think that was what made the movie just an enjoyable ride. I'd love to go and see it again. (Also the trailer for The Dark Knight was awesome. Cannot wait for that movie.)

Another April Fools Day has passed. I think Yahoo Japan with their Space Invaders and YouTube rickrolling everyone were my favorites. Jumpri was fun too. =D

The puppy ate one of my slippers. It was pretty close to falling apart anyway, but they were still warm and comfy. Stupid puppy. Our cats are slowly warming up to her, but they all still fight most of the time.

And can I just say that I am super thrilled that something interesting is happening in Bleach again? I like can't even remember the last time I was this happy over a chapter. Awesome.

We got a new doggie! She's a chiweenie (chihuahua/dachshund) and she's about six months old. I think my mom only got her because she looks like a smaller, slightly darker version of Sage (our dog we had for like nearly ten years that died in 06.) Mom is calling her Trixie because she didn't like her original name (Trigger). When she's looking at you she looks like she's all ears. They're huge. =D My cats don't care for her though... at all. She keeps barking at them and they keep hissing at her. It's times like these I wish I had actually bothered to get a digital camera. =(

Also I got told yesterday by one of ladies my mom works with that it looked like I had lost some weight. Yay!
