An update on my life before things get trivial!

So, after much consideration (just kidding, it was pretty much on a whim), I decided to resurrect my blog after a very, very long hiatus brought about by a few life-changing events- namely the birth of my beautiful baby boy Quinton (who is eight months now!) and my moving across the country to settle in Southern California. Southern southern California- so southern it's almost Mexico. It's an entirely different land from the temperate region of the northeast US I'm from- replace my pine and oak trees with palm trees and tumble weeds, my lakes and streams with desert and you've pretty much got it. You can't imagine how strange it is to have been looking at the calendar and thinking- yes, it really is February, so why is it 70 degrees Fahrenheit (I think that's about 20 degrees Celsius) outside right now?

I did at least get to visit New York for Christmas though and experience the snow and the cold, which was quite refreshing actually and I enjoyed it a lot! As it stands, I won't be returning to New York until October, but I'll be able to enjoy the leaves changing color as well as go to New York Comic Con/New York Anime Fest for the first time in too long with Eric and Kelly, as well as I believe Kelly's boyfraaaaand Travy. I'm really looking forward to that. Conventions are always fun with them, and after going to them steadily and suddenly not going anymore, I'm excited to be able to run around and get my nerd on. I was considering going to the Korean Music Festival this year, now that I'm just a reasonable drive away (about the same as if I was going to NYC from my old home), but of course this is the year that they don't really have anyone I want to see. Nice as Junho's face may be I'm not a 2pm fan, and Kara- well, the butt dance isn't enough to coax me into dishing out like $200 to see two bands I'm not a fan of.

Oh well, I'm not heartbroken. I'll probably go up to LA for that weekend just to hang out and check out the city as I've really yet to. The closest I've been about it is Anaheim-ish when I went to Disneyland. Disneyland, by the way, is fantastic, and I want to go there every day of my life. We definitely plan on going when Q is a bit bigger and can properly enjoy himself there, as it was, he only got to go on the Pirates ride with us, and was very unhappy when a bit of water came up into our little boat. Not so much fun at all.

With not so much more to write though, I feel as if it's about time I conclude this entry- so! Expect soon a review of an Elf haul and likely some music reviews, and remember-

Be excellent to each other.

MY NAME IS MINHO!

So, incase you haven't checked out Kei's blog, OMIGAWD we're in NYC! Currently being bums abusing the priviledge of free interbutts in the lobby, and the only people doing so, as it's nearly two and only mutants like us stay up this late.

Just kidding I lied, there's actually two doodz sitting behind us. But, I guess that's coo'. The more mutants, the merrier. We're like Xmen and shiz.

I'm obnoxiously happy to be here, like I could pee myself. NYC is pretty much the homeland, and our hotel is lovely and right off of Time Square, so if it gets nice enough this weekend like I hope it does we'll likely go wander around. Last time I was here it was rainy and cold and my poor friend Min got to hear me go on and on and complain about it.

Not nice shit.

But we did chill in downtown Chinatown like the Chinatown Hustlaas we are.

Which is nice shit.

I'm sure I'll be posting more throughout the weekend, but for now because I failed and promised pictures that I did not deliver, here you go, taken from Kei's laptop:



Obviously BATMAN, as we are at New York Comic Con. Even though Batman is dead.


That's better.


We are capable of cute faces, we just choose not to show them often.


We'd rather show faces like this. I am man.


lolz azn

Also, I nearly forgot! On the way here, I nearly made this poor kid cry. He was probably about the same age as me though, which just makes it even funnier.

So, I, having been in a car for nearly two hours, really had to pee. Like, epic!Pee. So we stop at Friendly's to get food, and aftering ordering my drink and fapping to tbe beautiful selection of dipping sauces for my chicken (most of which were gross btw), I run off to the bathroom as I feel my bladder about to explode. I THROW open the door, and there is a boy, one of the employees, just there to clean the bathroom. Me, being as understanding as I am smooth, I yell at the top of my lungs:

"There's a DOOD in the GIRL'S bathroom! You gotta get out of here, man, I gotta PEE!"

His face was pretty much the color of my failed attempt at hair dying. Some straight Ronald McDonald red-orange shiz.

Delightful when it's on his face, not so much on my hair.

Lemme tell ya, it's hard being this awesome.
