Harukanaru toki no naka de is distracting, but so are fireworks and...company barbecues. This Sunday, I attended a Herb Chambers "company barbecue" of some kind with Yang. Yes, he's a used car salesman. Unfortunately, it wasn't ANYTHING like that RufusReno fanfic I read once where there was a Shinra company barbecue. Mostly it was significantly smaller, and of course, there was no gay sex outdoors (I didn't go inside much, so I can't say what was going on in there). Yang and me hung out for a while, I told him he got the Fangirl model and I wasn't made to handle these kinds of things, and then we went to 99 and I had buffalo wings.

I never ended up going to see fireworks with him, but I did go with my parents, and that was fucking amazing. They had, like, an hour's worth of fireworks crammed into half an hour, so the finale was 10 minutes of some of the most interesting things I've ever seen fireworks do, all at once. Also, we had good seats. We sat around and ate potato chips and actually didn't get a single mosquito bite. I think the crowd had so much repellent on that there was a cloud of deet protecting us from all the annoying mosquitoes, gnats, flies, and air.

My favorite fireworks are still the plumey white ones that leave trails in the air, and these ones I hadn't seen before that had three or four colors each in them. And though I didn't see them in person, they had these fireworks at the Boston thing that looked like flowers, pink and everything, and that was just...ahhh. GLAD TO BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW. I saw those on TV, but they were still terrific.

If I didn't mention it in here already, my Playstation 2 had started up with that problem some of them get where no matter what I put in it, it tells me there's a disk read error, and to go fuck myself. Well, my dad, he has a toolbox. Today he took apart the machine and cleaned the laser while I watched, though I like to pretend I was actually helping. By the way, we did this because he had some kind of special cleaning fluid and special papers to clean camera lenses, and thankfully enough, we actually fixed it. If you have that stuff, and a Playstation that's too stubborn to read any disks, but loose enough to let you take it apart, it might be worth a try! :D I don't think we even had to break that sticker, you know, the one that says, get your dirty meathooks off our sacred land beautiful hardware or we'll slit your throat. It all worked out beautifully, and now Legaia 2 is calling me T_T

I don't know if I mentioned this before, but should I draw Roy as a black mage? I really just want to draw the hat I've kind of got this idea because I always thought of BM, the one from 8-Bit Theater, as someone who needs more women in bikinis and high heels to stand around and agree with everything he says. And what with Roy's miniskirt DREAM---it's not that far off, is it? (Also, the part with the fire spells. Har har.)
