Anime Club!

Just went out awhile ago to try and find something to eat until I was stuck in traffic behind an ambulance for at least a mile and I could see the woman that was in agony inside waiting to get to the hospital, safe to say that ruined whatever appetite I had going and so I just went back home. Fast food and pop music just doesn't sound so good after thinking about life and death and how fragile our simple lives really are and such.

On a much happier note, I get to meet a bunch of other anime nerds tomorrow at UNM's anime club that I hope to join this week! Supposed to be free pizza too. Parking will be a bitch though since I'm not a student--and there I go again with the downer talk! ;)

New Job New Goals!

Since I last posted I turned 26, and that was such a miserable weekend I don't even want to talk about it on here but I can tell you that I started my new job on the 22nd! Yes, I was hired at a major hotel not too far from where I live thankfully and I've been training for several days now and I think I'm getting the hang of doing the front desk, or at least the most basic of things. The property is gorgeous! Two restuarants, a bar, an big outdoor heated swimming pool, and 12 stories worth of room space, not to mention the other buildings we have for cabana rooms. We also have lots of convention/meeting room space which makes me wish that next year's SWACE will be held here instead of at the tiny and old ABQ Grand.

Speaking of SWACE, I went when I could this past Friday and Saturday and met some nice people and the speakers were great. This was the smallest con I had ever been to but it made it a more intimate setting I thought and so talking with the voice actors and directors was way easier than at say, A-kon!

I haven't played any poker in about two weeks now, online OR at Sandia but that's going to change now that I got my internet hooked up yesterday. I really look forward to getting onto SpadeClub and Pokerstars again and grinding it out for awhile...

Lastly, I started doing a lot better running-wise and I can do almost 3miles before quitting which is a huuuuge improvement over just a month ago I can assure you :)
