For the past few days, I've been spamming everyone I know with the Champions of Champions Elite stuff. I can't help it. I'm very excited about this job!
Anyway, those of you who have Friended me on Facebook know that I promised to make an entry about what I've been up to personally.
Saturday the 2nd, I went to the Montrose Oktoberfest and supported my dojo as they did their yearly demonstration. I was mostly there to help Master Dannon film the demo so that he could edit it and turn it into his YouTube debut. That hasn't happened yet, but here's a picture of him showing off his good balance that you can look at in the meantime:
The prices at the Oktoberfest were outrageous this year, they only blocked off half the street, and there wasn't a whole lot going on... It figures. It was Ramiro and Ray's first time ever going to it. That was pretty much a gauruntee that it was going to be lame. It seems to be one of those unwritten "laws" of life that whenever you want to show a friend something really cool (an event/show/game/band) and they say "It's my first time experiencing this," it ends up being really lame. :\ So, we didn't really get to do anything there (again, the prices!!!), but we did get to play Scott Pilgrim VS. The World: The Game on Ray's PS3. We played far into the night and got alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the endings.
Sunday the 3rd, I was in the ER. Olive View again. I ended up cutting/puncturing my right thigh with a pair of scissors. I was doing something stupid. Anyway, a bunch of blood & fat came out and I had to get stitches. (I'm purposely not saying too many details because a few people I've told became physically ill just from hearing about it). I was walking around on crutches for a couple days because whenever I tried to put my full weight on my right leg (incredibly painful!!), the muscle would flex and I'd start bleeding all over again.
I popped a stitch on Monday (my first full day at my new job!) but we were warned that might happen and we had an "emergency kit" to patch me back up again. Since then, it oozed a little yesterday as I was getting off work, but it's healing nicely. Today, everything was as it should be. No blood. Substantially less pain. I'm going to be fine. Don't worry. <3
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd... Work is really really awesome. I absolutely love it.
Check this out. I made it today: http://youtube.com/user/COCEliteOfficial
I didn't make the videos. I just made the channel. Just a little something extra I ended up doing. Like I mentioned before, my actual job is as an in-house writer. Unfortunately, I can't tell you exactly what I do because I'm under contract not to. Hope you understand :3
Our kids (the cats: Robert, Ziggy, and Ringo) are all doing well. We fixed the cat door so they can come in and out as they please (it was broken before and they could only go out, but had to scream at us when they wanted back in). They've been staying in a lot in this SUDDENLY RAINY weather (it's hard to believe that it was 113 last week!!--what happened?!).
Oh, and today (Oct. 6) marks Ramiro and my third year of being a couple. :) <3
Guess that's about it for now.
Until next time...
