The Final Stretch

I went back and looked at some of my older posts today, and had to laugh at how much this blog has changed over the last few months. I've gone from light-heartedness to "here's what I'm freaking out about today..."

Time to switch it back around, methinks.

I think you can tell what kind of mood I'm in by the frequency of my posts. I only posted on half the days in November, and so far this month I've managed four. In one day. Sure, the others are actually meant to be for yesterday, but it was just after midnight this morning, so technically they belong to today. And I back-dated the (astoundingly beautiful) Ayumi Shibata picture I uploaded this afternoon, just so it would fall behind my real posts. So there.

I'm getting to that point where every time I clock in or out at work, I think about the fact that I'm only going to have to do that about 25 or 30 more times. It's kinda sad, but at the same time it's good riddance, you know? Over four-and-a-half years there; good times, bad times, lots of stories, lots of good people (a few bad ones), and an over-all great experience; but it's good to move on.

It's cold.

Like, seriously.

I think I'm going to end up wearing two pairs of pants tomorrow, and three pairs of socks, and my track jacket (obviously, I'll wear my heavy coat on the way to work - the jacket's for at-work time). And no, I'm not joking about the multi-layers. It gets cold in that place.

Ah! Good news! I have finally completed an Xbox 360 game, getting all 1000 achievement points in Viva Pinata. It's the first game I've completed; my friends thought it was never going to happen, as I have a bad habit of becoming distracted by a new game before totally finishing the one I'm currently on, but I proved them wrong and did it. Now they just make fun of me because the game of choice happened to be Viva Pinata (which is more complex than anyone seems to realize), but whatever. Now I can go for the sequel, Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise ^__^

I'm totally digging the new Melon Kinenbi song (and have I mentioned that Ayumi Shibata is astoundingly beautiful?)
