What a sad little Miata...

So, I've been having a few car troubles...

Last week during an outing for cosplay supplies I was met with the magical disappearing clutch. In other words, the pedal turned into something of a plaything and I was locked firmly into neutral in a turn lane. In my panic I made my phone calls to friends for help then was met shortly afterward by a police officer who was happening by. The cop offered to push me to the side of the road but in doing so, pushed me into a curb which stopped all oncoming traffic and cracked my bumper.

Once in a parking lot I waited patiently for friends to arrive. My car savvy assistants were unable to diagnose the problem so my vehicle was pushed to a nearby neighborhood.

Later that evening J decided to take a look at the supposed clutch problem which turned out to be an over-zealous leak.

The night was not made any more relaxing by my negligence to take my credit card with me from Applebees.

Since then my car's been towed, i've paid out $300 in clutch repairs and I also have a cracked radiator. Thanks to my incredibly generous best friend, my car now sits in his garage with a brand new radiator for cost.

Oh what a week... I just wish I had enough money for Diablo III

Minecraft on the 360

For those of you who didn't know, Minecraft was just recently released on the 360.  Thankfully Sadly it was released on my day off so I have spent the last 6 hours in this chair hacking at blocks and my to-do list remains unscathed.

I suppose with a small mansion under my belt, its now time to head out, stretch my legs and partake in some photography fun-time :)

Uncharted Cosplay

Flight and hotel are booked and A-Kon is right around the corner. Not a lot of time (or money) is left for costuming but my friend and I have decided on a speedy quick compilation of Chloe Frazer and Nathan Drake from the Uncharted games. My particular version will be pulled from Uncharted 2 while the Nathan Drake remains undetermined. The time frame is short but hopefully ill be able to pull this together with the quality standards I desire from cosplay.

Cosplay progress updates to come.

From Out of the Deep

I think for awhile I simply had forgotten I even had this blog x_x

Its not like I have any readers, which is partly on purpose so that I can avoid writing myself a slew of embarrassments then hearing about it all later over dinner. What do I have to say at this time? Oh, just the usual. My job is sucking the happiness out of me, school organization for fall is stressing me to no end, and I have a small variety of emotional friend conflicts which i'm trying hard to solve.

I like to sometimes think that all my effort and hard work will eventually pay off. I suppose in some respects, it will but I also cant help but think that all my work is in vain. As a person who cherishes efficiency its hard to wrap my mind around the emotional loops I keep catching myself in.

Sadly my head is hurting from my jog and the current conversation im having with a very distraught friend. *sigh* So here's a picture of my cat and I (just because).
