Ahh, another 3 day weekend. Plenty of time to "waste" just relaxing and having fun. Let's cover what's gone on so far:

Friday:

- Saw Wall-E. Freaking loved it. Such an awesome movie - I will definitely buy it on Blu-ray. Pixar movies are always great though.
- Played Team Fortress 2. I'm really loving this game again. I need to find someone else who wants to play too.
- Watched The Other Boleyn Girl. It was okay... nothing special. I was somewhat bored by it all, but I especially hate that time period where the church and monarchy had way too much power. They abused it and normal people suffered so much. Give people power and they become corrupted...
- Watched tons of anime. Really good stuff. I will try to complete a list of all the stuff I have watched, so check the movie database if you are curious( more on that later ).
- Wrote some cool piano. I even have a melody sort of worked out. Too bad I have nothing that I really feel like writing about at the moment. Guess I will have to wait until inspiration hits me... I've also decided that I'm gonna try to write an instrumental album, because it's a completely different approach to music, and I'd love to have some of my own stuff on hand.
- Tried in vain to lay down some drums for Maybe. I hope Todd can hook me up soon... Once I adjust some settings, I think I will do the drumming on my keyboard through the drum sample on the computer...

Saturday:

- Slept in for 8.5 hours. Felt amazing. I wish I could do this every day.
- Worked on my movie database for about 6 hours straight, and finally finished it. Go to the movie page to check it out. I've only put up 6 movies for now, but I will be adding them very quickly. I have over 100 movies to catalog I believe, and a lot of ripped anime, so I will do my best to chip away at the mountain of media. I really like the movie database though, and it was a great introduction to working with databases. My next project will be insane, and I'm kind of overwhelmed with everything I want to do with it. It will be a tracker database that lets you enter all sorts of foods you eat, and it will track not only your caloric intake, but vitamins, protein, carbs, etc. Basically everything that's on the label. I want to see how I'm really doing when I break it all down. As part of this, it will also have an exercise tracker so I can see how much I'm burning, and also monitor my progress with lifting weights. I'm also considering being able to share results with others. Lots of stuff to plan out.
- Went to visit the house. They've finished the sheet rock walls, and started the dry walling. There was even a guy working today. You can find all the pictures here:

I probably won't go back for a week and a half because of Anime Expo, so I imagine quite a lot will change by then.

- Played games and watched anime. Sooo nice to do this. Also maxed out on pushups as I work towards 100 in one set. Hundredpushups.com for the win. Tried to not be lazy, and burned about a hundred calories on the treadmill. My ankle still hurts though, so I'm taking it somewhat easy.

As I mentioned before, I'm going to Anime Expo this week, so I won't update until after that. I should have all sorts of fun pictures and videos, so check back. I hope everyone has an awesome 4th of July!

If you look at the top left corner of this window, you will a transparent green arrow button right above the transparent border. If you highlight this with your mouse, it shows up clearly. Click it to hide this window so you can see the beautiful backgrounds in their entirety. Click it again to bring back the content. Give it a whirl!

*UPDATE*

It was brought to my attention that the button wasn't working in Internet Explorer. Cross-browser support is annoying, but at least it's working now. Thanks goes out to Jason.

After many hours of work, and completely redesigning/rewriting the site several times, I finally have something I like. I have developed a great deal of respect for great web-designers and web-artists. Over time, I'm going to keep adding to the site, and hopefully will become a better designer/web programmer as I go. Cheers!
