I'm getting more and more excited~! The trip is coming up so quickly~! I can't believe I'm actually going ^__^ We have our bus tickets, and our hotel room is booked! I should be getting my passport on the 8th, and I already have some US cash~! I just hope it's enough... I probably will be spending most of it at the convention. I also found out that HALCALI will be performing on Friday and Saturday... but I still don't know what time. I also don't know if it costs anything to see the concert or to get their signatures! I hope it doesn't cost anything... or at least, I hope it doesn't cost much.
Lately, I've been over at my sister's place. When I'm at home, I'm cleaning up... I cleaned the interior of my dad's truck on the weekend, and that took quite a while (he works in construction, so there was dust everywhere!), and today, I vacuumed the entire house, then cleaned the kitchen floor, and removed the spots on the carpeted areas... I still have to finish a picture for my dad, for his boat (it's supposed to be a muskrat racing in the water - he has attitude!), cook one meal for them (I've never made my parents a meal before... eheh) and I still have to work on my dad's present... which, I must draw with either charcoal or ink... I hope I can do it. I'm not very good at portraits...
I've also been playing my DS a lot lately! Mainly, I've been playing "The World Ends With You"... why is it translated that way? I don't know... I keep accidentally calling it "It's A Wonderful World". Just a while ago, I finally found the new "Taiko no Tatsujin DS" game (I was so blind, and I couldn't figure out why no one uploaded it yet) and I've been playing that for the last 2 hours! I think I know more songs in this one than the previous game!
Also, I downloaded some kind of Pilates game... it shows you how to do every move, has programs set up to target certain areas, and keeps record of your progress. You have a model that demonstrates everything, and if you work hard, you can unlock items for your model! Also, you have some sort of tree that will grow with the more work you do. It's pretty cute, and using a game to motivate me to work out helps!! Actually, did anyone know that I actually did Pilates before? I did it for a long while, and I got pretty good. After a while, you can feel it effect you in everyday life... you can keep your balance more, and you are better at controlling your muscles. I think I stopped doing it because I was tired of the video I was following... Hopefully, I can work hard, and do it again!! Because, today, I stepped on the scale... and wasn't happy with what I saw. I need to eat better!!
BTW, this is what I ate today... it's a combination of many things. I often can't decide what to eat, so I just throw it all together... I don't know if anyone else would find this tasty, but I sure enjoyed it!!

Fried rice with cabbage, green onion, chicken, peas and carrots, with egg on top. Broccoli and octopus wieners around the plate... What should I eat tomorrow?
I found another video... originally from
Nico Nico Douga. I suppose it's kind of like the sequel or b-side 組曲『ニコニコ動画』(Kumikyoku "Nico Nico Douga") which can be seen
here if you've never heard of it before (this is the version featuring Miku). If you watch some anime, you'll probably know some of these songs - if you are into the Nico Nico craze, you'll probably know more of the songs and references. Anyways, this "sequel" is called 合唱 ニコニコ動画『裏組曲』 -2nd Track- (Urakumikyoku "Nico Nico Douga"). I got 21 references... which I think is more than I got the first time I saw Kumikyoku... Pretty good!
I have two commissions on Gaia... I should probably start those - or go to bed.... >.>
