+1.5

First off, apologies for the lack of updates, but there honestly hasn't been a whole lot to update.

The holiday season is now officially over; my grandparents returning to Florida yesterday pretty much sealed the deal as far as that's concerned. I hate saying goodbye, but I'll get to see them again in June when I graduate from tech school, so it's all good.

I got back from seeing my recruiter about thirty minutes ago, where I got some good news. Instead of, as was originally planned, leaving on Sunday morning (the 17th), I now have to be in Dallas sometime on Monday evening (the 18th), so that adds a good day-and-a-half to my remaining civilian life ^__^

I pretty much said goodbye to my video games yesterday, as I finally managed to complete the last of the downloadable missions in Fallout 3. I'm at good stopping-points on the rest of my games, except Call of Duty's multiplayer, which should take about a half-hour on Thursday to conclude (for now). Other than that, the Xbox won't be seeing much more play time, save for a bit of Rock Band, over the next couple of weeks.

It's been a good couple of days on the music front. I realized the other day that I actually know half of the 48 members of AKB48, which led me to try to learn the other half before I leave, just for the heck of it. Also, I've been waiting on the S/mileage PV for "Suki Chan" for some time now, as the promo stuff has been out for weeks, and was glad to see it finally released. S/mileage is the best thing Hello!Project has going for them right now, and it'll be fun to get to follow this group from its inception. Melon Kinenbi, for their fifth collaborative single, joined forces with a group called Going Under Ground, and while the collaboration is so-so (except for the parts featuring Ayumi, natch), I looked into Going Under Ground and discovered them to be a pretty cool band.



'Tis all for now.
