Arigato gozaimasu.

Thanks to everyone who showed their sympathies for my grampa's passing. My mom sent that picture to everybody. Apparently, my step-grandma (his widow) is the only one who hated it. Everyone else loves it, though. Because he's smiling and I guess he tends to be pretty grumpy (he never has been grumpy to me, so I've never really seen that side of him).



In other news, the LOVELY vashsbitch (Kura Kura Kura Kura Kura Kura Kura - chan) bestowed upon me the latest X-Japan single I.V. which rocks for two reasons. 1. X-Japan rocks in general. and 2. X-Japan is back together!

Also, Charles gave me a copy of Nine Inch Nails's new album Year Zero, which I am listening to right now. It's awesome. It's the first glimpse this new computer has seen of NIN yet. I have to find my old cds and upload them yet.


Also, I need to learn to knit. I have many books on the subject (including the ever-popular Stitch-N-Bitch Nation (as well as SnB Happy Hookers- which I should probably crack open since I've forgotten how to crochet). I threw out all my old yarn that I got from dumpster diving, and am left with one ball left that may very well be too crappy to knit with too. I gave knitting a go the other day, but it was so hard that I actually started sweating and getting really pissed at it. Maybe the third time's a charm.

Lastly, I have a grilled cheese sammich waiting for me downstairs.

Ta-ta.
