Last night I went to my wing chun class and I learned that I will be learning a new style. ^_^ Craig, the teacher, says that when he went to see his old teacher and touched his hands he realized he would not be able to learn much more from him. Soooo, now he has found a new teacher. Apparently this guy is a master of wing chun and tai chi. Pretty impressive. Craig says he can tell that he will never be able to surpass his new teacher. That will be good for him and us. We also will be able to meet his teacher which will be really neat! I'm super excited to start this new style. Should be pretty interesting!
And I have had a request to show Buddy, so someday I shall put a pic of him up KD. He's soooooooo kawaii! Apparently now you can even put video up on here. . . I think only from youtube.com, but that would work since I have an account there. ^_^
Last. . . hmmm, Tuesday I went and saw the movie Jumper. I was a bit worried that it was going to be a bad movie, but I love things about teleporting and it turned out to be a decent movie! Another movie I am now curious about is Juno. At first I thought it was something stupid like Knocked Up, but that looks like a good one too.
This weekend I am going to take Boston to the Spiderwick Chronicles. We are both super excited to see it. ^_^ I love having a munchkin to see kid movies with! I read the first five books, so I hope I won't be disappointed. >_>; I tend to be a book snob when I see movies like that. For instance, Eragon was horribly painful for me to watch. O_O They shouldn't have even put it in theaters, or on DVD, or as a TV movie. that is how painful that movie was to me. I literally CRINGED during most of the movie. *laughs* But anyway, I am looking forward to the Spiderwick Chronicles. I'll tell you all how it was. ^_^

I Want A Golden Little Bald Man!
Wouldn't it be the neatest experience in the world to get an award like an Oscar? Yes, once again I watched the Oscars all the way through. It has become tradition for me to do so and I find it quite enjoyable.
When I was a wee child I would dream of winning one when I got older. However, I doubt it will ever happen now. It's not really one of my goals anymore really. ^_^ A more realistic goal would be to stand on the sidelines of the red carpet, or maybe get a ticket to see them. The ticket thing is more unrealistic, but one can dream. Just like I would love to go to E3!
A bummer for me was that Johnny Depp didn't win for Sweeney Todd. Quite the shame since he did such a super job! Plus, the guy who did win has already won an Oscar. :( Come on, they should have given it to Mr. Depp IMO. *nods*
I also wish that Transformers would have won special effects. How could you not get an award for making huge robots that transform into stuff. *sigh* Golden Compass won the award. I never did see it, but the special effects in Transformers made my jaw drop. They gave the robots, especially Bumblebee, such personality! A difficult thing to do when their faces are like masks and show no emotion. *puts drama mask on*
Anyway, it was fun and I can't wait to see what next year will bring. I doubt any of the winners would ever see this little blog in cyberspace, but congrats to all of you!

How Could You Edit Joyous Johnny?!
Before I begin I would like to say, I knew this and this is why I never bought CDs from Wal-Mart.
Ok. A couple Mondays ago I went to see the movie Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street. What can I say? I loved it, that movie is right up my alley. >_>; Yes, I know I'm morbid and a little demented. Alison keeps telling me so and I agree. Anyway, this entry is not about my fascination with death it is about Wal-Mart. Yes so , Johnny Depp is awesome and always does such a fantastic job of playing. . . would odd be an appropriate choice of words? Or perhaps psycho? Meh, eccentric. Yes, I like eccentric. And Alan Rickman! Hello! I adore him and this will be a movie I shall own when it comes out on DVD.
Since I loved the movie and the music so much I thought it would be super awesome to own the CD. I went to Wal-Mart (forgetting) super excited with the fact that I would be a proud owner of the fantastic music in the movie. How awesome it would be to have that music on Futune (ipod)! *clears throat* I went to electronics, which is like a second home to me and happily found the Sweeney Todd soundtrack. *sigh* But alas, there was no parental warning. O_o I boggled at it. How could this particular soundtrack not have a warning? Well, that is when I remembered that Wal-Mart is weird about their music and they edit the CDs they sell. -_-
I mean, WTF Wal-Mart? If you are going to do it to one form of media, then why not movies or dare I say. . . video games? I think it is great that there are parental warnings, but honestly do we really think that editing out the swearing is going to make a better society? Don't kids hear worse language in school and/or at home? I don't think Wal-Mart should be my parent. I am 27 years old and when I can't buy a CD in it's original form AND this is the only store in town to buy from, it kind of pisses me off. Yeah, edit that Wal-Mart!
Just to let you know, I was somewhat upset and I think it is worth writing about, but I'm not super angry. It hardly even dampened my day. It was just. . . frustrating. :D

I'm A PVPer
*laughs* Doesn't that sound funny? For those of you who don't know, and I think that is both of you, pvp is player vs. player. On World of Warcraft you can do battlegrounds, which can be like capture the flag, or arena, which is beat the snot out of the other team to win. Mostly I do the BGs (battlegrounds), but recently I started to do arena.
*sigh* I tend to hate arena since I don't have the proper gear for it. Gear is basically your armor. ^_^ Lalique, spin around for the good readers to show off your cool robe and stuff. . . wait, you can't see him. Hmmmmmmm. Perhaps I will have to screen cap him. Especially when I get his spellfire robes! Ooooooo! *excited* So yes, my gear is cool, but not cool enough so I don't die immediately. :P Apparently Katan & Vaydin died for 2-3 months straight, but now they are uber awesome. So, there is hope for me yet.
Battlegrounds are usually fun for me, unless you get people who do not understand the concept of DEFEND!!! *laughs* And! About 2-3 times I have been #1 out of my side, the horde. I love when that happens. The way you become *puts up index finger* #1 is to do more damage than anyone else, or kill more people! ^_^ Tee hee! And I have also been raid leader sometimes. That means you are leader of 10-40 people, depending what battleground you are in. The points you get from battlegrounds are season one gear and arena you can get season 2 & 3.
Also in WoW news I have been debating whether, or not I should get keyed up for Karazhan, which is a dungeon you can run through with a guild. That would be fun, but raids take so long. Sometimes they have lasted 6-7 hours! Who has time for that???
Well, I am off to pick up my laundry and to go play with Buddy! *snuggles Buddy* Who's a cutey? Who's a cutey??? You are! Yes you are! *puts Buddy down*

New Year, New Look!
Well, I missed my blogs b-day which was on Feb. 2. ^_^ But I will have you know that I did remember!
So, what do you think of the new look? I finally broke down and chose a new template. It has been years now since I started blogging and it was just time for a new decor. I like it. However, I would like something less. . . uniform, but beggars can't be choosers!
Recent events in my life? Well, I started an anime club. Very fun and the people who come really seem to enjoy it. I love sharing my love of anime with other people especially ones who are somewhat new to it. It is somewhat amusing since at least 3 of them are going through the Multi-media program I did in college.
I have also started to Wing Chun Kung Fu class. So far it has been an excellent experience and I will be able to defend myself if need be. The teacher is a retired cop and he has had experience in different kinds of martial arts, but his two favorites are Wing Chun and Jujitsu. Apparently there is a camp they have every other year and that is definitely something I would really like to save up for. This year it is going to be in Buffalo, NY.
This year, Meg and I plan on going to Disney World and so far things are falling into place. I'm just basically waiting to see if I get the vacation time I asked for. Once that is confirmed then Meg and I can plan, plan and plan some more!
Big news with my parents! They have a new puppy! His name is Buddy and he is from the litter that Katey and Connor had. So he is a black and white English Springer Spaniel. He is quite cute, but he sure has an attitude. I'll get pics up sometime. ^_^
So that is my update. I know I make this promise all the time, but I'll try to write here more. I mean, how could I not with a new look and all. :P
