Oh Amazon. XD

I’d set it to consolidate my order into as few shipments as possible (in this case, it was supposed to be 2– understandably, it would be impractical to haul a JINT box with a case and a bunch of smaller things). But Amazon does not fail to amuse, as it decided to split off my PSU from the video card and the network adapter.

So now I’ll have three boxes, and since they all shipped on different days… yeah.

On a shallow level, though, it’ll kinda feel like I’m getting more shinies BECAUSE it’s 3 boxes instead of 2. SCORE!

As usual, I am late to the anime party. (Inversely, I am ahead on video games… sort of.)
At the prodding of neophoenixte I finally looted Lucky Star. And there are much lulz to be had at Konata. Way too many parallels with me there. Similarly, one could say that Konata is pretty much Haruko wearing a Yoshi wig. XD

“Azumanga with a heavy nerd slant” doesn’t even BEGIN to describe this. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself thinking “holy crap, I DO THAT TOO.” XD

Finally, I had an Awesome BSOD (as in, a BSOD triggered by something awesome). To add to my stupidly-huge list of reasons why Yuri Lowenthal currently tops my list of favorite voice actors (others include “played Luke and Asch, played Haseo, played Cecil, is hilarious on Twitter, did the Mudkips meme on camera, compared Luke and Asch to Gollum/Smeagol” to name a few), I must now add “has a pet cat.”

And not just any cat…

An ORANGE cat.

And said kitty is a lovey-dovey boy-toy, just like my Kestine.
(naturally, conspiracy theories abound that the Lowen-cat is potentially one of Kestine’s littermates. Both do have quite a bit of white on ‘em… though Kestine’s face has a white ninja mask-like pattern where the other one’s all orange)

TEN MILLION– excuse me, BILLION AWESOME POINTS. I’m sorry, but my orange kitty fandom is such that I cannot help but squee immensely at these things.

Thus, justification for breaking out the SD Cecil “squeh!” icon for the LJ edition (rather than the Sakaki icon I would normally break out for general kitty love).

Now, I should probably eat these burgers before they get cold. (They got here just as I opened up Semagic to write this.)
