Today was pretty fun. I went to the salvation army and got some great gag gifts for friends. I was going to see star wars episode 7 but then freezing rain happened, and I got stuck at home. I did some laundry. I watched Kekkaishi and James Bond. I'm almost done with Kekkaishi, but still have like 8 more bond films. I'm going to finish the anime series, but not the movie series before they expire. I edited one of my videos together, and I'll upload it at the end of the week. Later.

Today was really fun. My brother and I tried to go to the salvation army, but it was closed. I watched Kekkaishi, almost done now. Later mskate and I went to the winter light show at our local zoo. I will be writing a full blog for that. It was really fun. Afterwards we went to Applebee's for the free appetizer I had a coupon for. I had mozzerella sticks and she had nachos. It was good catching up with her again. Afterwards we went to tend to the cat that she's cat sitting. She's a dog person, so when she tried calling the cat over like a dog (lying down and patting the floor), I'm like "that's now how you get a cat to come over to you, this is" (getting down on 1 knee and outstretching your hand as a sign of peace, holding still so as to not spook it). The cat stayed away from her and came to me. I'm a bit of a cat person, even though I'm allergic. Later.

Happy Boxing Day. I considered watching a boxing movie to celebrate, but I didn't have the time. I watched some Kekkaishi and The Man With the Golden Gun. Both good. The big thing was I saw my grandpa and aunt and celebrated with them. We got him a new TV. It was fun seeing them again. Later.

Merry Christmas Eve. I woke up and did my morning routine. I watched Kekkaishi and Live and Let Die. I celebrated Christmas with my grandparents. Full details in the main blog. I'm currently watching A Christmas Story 2, and I don't see why Nostalgia Critic hates it. Sure, it's not the original, but it's still pretty funny. Maybe I'll review it on bitlanders. Later.

Today was fun. I watched Kekkiashi and a James Bond film. I wrote all my graduation thank-you notes so that feels good to get off my back. I also played some Roller Coaster Tycoon. I played with my hamster and we both had fun. I also took apart the wicker ball for him since he's afraid of the full wicker things, but loves to chew on wicker. Mskate and I were going to go to the light show at the zoo, but it was too late and raining, so we're going to the one after Christmas. Later.

Today was nice. My brother and I delivered Christmas treats to people, and we saw some old family friends again. I also finished editing my anti-bullying PSA. You can watch it here.



I also got a surprise gift of Roller Coaster Tycoon in the mail. It's so fun. Later.

Today was a nice relaxing day from the craziness. I watched some hulu and worked on my nerd cave. I did holiday chocolate dipping and that was nice. I worked on my bullying PSA. It's really coming along. Later.

Where Have I Been

This is posted to both my Bitlanders Blog and Daily Blog.

So I have some explaining to do. I could be all “it’s my life, you’re just a bunch of internet, it’s none of your business, I owe you nothing,” but that’s a dick move, and I feel like maybe you want to know why I haven’t posted anything in over a month. I mean, I went from posting 3+ things a week to nothing. So, what happened?

Well I recently graduated from college. I had my last semester and all the fun that goes with it. It’s not like I had major projects, but more like I had major life chapter ending activities. I was finishing up that chapter of my life, and I wanted to make sure I finished it right. I’ll upload a blog about graduation in the next week, but first let me tell you about some of the things I’ve been working on.

First off, I wasn’t able to record all the PSS lets play videos I wanted to. We met like 4 times during the time we had, and during then we were only able to record for 1-2 hours at a time. Our schedules just didn’t match up, and 10 of the videos didn’t have the audio recorded so problems. You can watch our riff of Teenagers Battle The Thing for $0.50 on Dailymotion, and it was good. I’m kind of glad that our Indiegogo failed because we didn’t have the opportunity to make enough to give to people. My drying out of lets play videos is part of why I didn’t upload as much.

But that’s only part of it. Not only do I have lets plays to upload, I also had podcasts recorded and daily thing to put in the daily blog. Well, I also wanted to focus on other things IRL. With my film club I lead the initiative of “film something every weekend.” In the past we had a bad habit of not making films, even though we were called “filmmakers” in our club name. I said “this is unacceptable, we need to film stuff.” So I was working with them to make films. I’ll link them once I get them all uploaded. One of these is my masterpiece Bullying PSA/Afterschool Special. It meant so much to me that “if this was the last thing I made, I would be happy, but if I don’t make it, I will regret it for the rest of my life.” I was working hard to make that. While I had no intentions to stop what I’m doing with bitlanders and daily blog, I just wanted to put my focus on that and my school work.

Now last thing is that I just didn’t feel like uploading at the end of the day. Sure, I typically had about an hour block of time every day that I could have watched the 1 video and found a fun title, or reviewed what that audio clip was about, or what I did during the day, but I was just done. I just didn’t want to do that. I don’t really feel the need to apologize for my absence, and this isn’t an apology, but I feel like you should know where I’ve been. I’ll let you know when I get all my other projects edited and uploaded. I also have some projects that I might want to do in the future. Well, this has been Pokematic, signing off, and bu-bye.
