No More Money!

Well, I am totally broke! I went to the Mac Store at Ala Moana and bought the battery pack which was $60, then stopped at Tower Records and bought about 6 CD's so I could load more songs into my iPod which ended up close to being $100. I also already have my Amazon order from last week on my credit card so now I'm extremely broke! No kala! Okane ga nai! Binbou desu! X( I now have to wait until next month before I can charge anything more. Yabai!! Dekiru kana? I really have to budget myself, especially since I'll be going to Japan at the end of next month. *sigh*, what I wouldn't give to have someone bequeath a million dollars to me right now!

Also went to rent some videos. We went to Nippon Video, a video store that we don't usually go to since the parking is so bad, but my sister was looking for "Shitazuma Monogatari" which stars Fukada Kyoko & Tsuchiya Anna, and the store we usually go to didn't have it. I got to borrow tape 8 of "Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger" which I didn't get to see since someone lost the tape at Japan Video and finished watching "Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji". I also finally got to see the Tiger & Dragon special with Okada Junichi & Nagase Tomoya. Very funny! I will definitely watch the drama this season when it starts coming in! I didn't get to finish "Kyoto Jiken No Onna" since Nippon Video didn't bring that one in for some reason so I have to wait until next week when we go back to Japan Video. I also rented the Sportsman No. 1 tape, but I didn't have time to watch it. Hope my sister remembered to tape it for me so I can watch it later this week. ^^;

Work is still busy! Gotta work on extensions now (of which there are about 200!) and I have to close up all my payrolls for the quarter and collect all the quarterly tax checks as well as the general excise tax checks by the end of the month. The phone is starting to pick up again since everyone wants to know when their returns will be finished. I wish people would realize that the more they call the longer it will take to get their returns done. They not only slow down my boss, since he ends up talking on the phone for hours, but it also slows ME down because I have to keep stopping what I'm doing to answer the phone. Right now I H-A-T-E Alexander Graham Bell!!>.<

Well, gotta get back to work! Mata ne! ^_^

Weekend Planning

Yay! It's Friday which means.....I work 1/2 day tomorrow! *BLEAH*

It also means that after work I will be going to the video rental store to rent more videos!! I can finally finish watching "Kyoto Jiken No Onna", "Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji", and maybe start on "Tokumei Kakarichou Todano Hitoshi". I will also be looking for the Sportsman No.1 special that was shown in Japan earlier this month. Shirakawa Yujiro is supposed to be in it. I know he didn't do that well, but I get to see his muscles and the show is always interesting. I bet Iketani won again! That guy is really athletic. I wonder if any other tokusatsu actors were in it this year? I know Nagai Masaru & Noboru Kaneko have been in it before so I guess I'll be on the lookout for any interesting people!

On Sunday I'm planning on going to the Mac Store in Ala Moana to go and buy a battery pack for my iPod. I'm gonna need it when I go on my vacation to Japan at the end of next month. I also need to stop at Tower Records and buy some more CD's so I can load some songs that I can't find on iTunes. Gads, I'm so broke, but I'm having so much fun playing with my iPod! Sheesh I'm such a kid! *hehe*

My order from Amazon.co.jp was just shipped yesterday so hopefully I'll should be getting it sometime towards the end of next week. I can't wait to get my Kamen Rider DVD's and I also ordered an internet movie on DVD calls "Shibuya Kaidan". Shirakawa Yujiro, Izumi Masayuki, & Murakami Kohei are supposed to be in some of the stories on this DVD. Also looking forward to getting my Morimoto Ryouji Photo Book! From what I've seen in the ads for the book the pictures look great. Quite a few sexy ones! Tanoshimi!!

Looks like things are picking up at the V6 thread at JDorama again! Just like when I first started going there. 3-4 pages magically appear while I'm sleeping! Aka's going to town with her new fic which is really awesome! The only problem I'm having is keeping up with all the characters! I have to keep re-reading the previous chapters to remember who everyone is! I think I nees to start taking Ginko, my memory is going already!^^;

There was also a new girl at the thread who didn't like the fact that we were talking so much about Okada Junichi. I know it's a little unfair to the other members of V6, but Junichi is the busiest one right now. Besides, there were periods when we hardly talked about the poor boy! I guess she didn't really read the previous pages too well, cuz she should have noticed that! Hopefully, she'll realize that we all enjoy ALL the members of the group.

Well, better get back to work again before I end up staying until 7:00 p.m.! Ja mata ato de! ^_^

Drama Catch Up

Now that tax season is over I finally started to catch up on my dramas and tokusatsu. I FINALLY got to see the end of Gokusen. Yankumi does it to me everytime! I was bawling like a baby at the end again! I still liked the first one a little better, but I enjoyed this series and will definitely be buying the DVD's when they come out! I must admit Nakama Yukie & Namase Katsuhisa make a great team! I loved them in both Gokusen series & I also loved them in all the Trick series! I hope they work together again in another drama!

I'm almost done watching "Kyoto Jiken No Onna". One more episode and then I'm done. This keiji drama was pretty good. Quite a bit of comedy and two of the actors from Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger were in this show!

Also almost done watching "Kyumei Byoto 24Ji". I should finish watching this drama this coming weekend too. Shun is doing a really good job in this drama and of course Egushi Yosuke & Matsushima Nanako are awesome! The stories are really good, and always make me cry darn it!

Last but not least, I got to watch up to ep 8 of both Kamen Rider Hibiki and Mahoutsukai Sentai Majiranger. Hibiki is pretty different from previous KR's, but I'm enjoying it since it has a kind of musical theme and drums play a big part in this show!! DRUMMERS RULE!!!!!!! XD

Well, I'm going back to downloading more music into my iPod! Ja neeeeeee!!!!!! ^_^

FREE AT LAST! (sort of...)

THE BIG RUSH IS FINALLY OVER (for now)!!!! I'M FREE AT LAST (sort of)!!!!

Wow, it's been almost a month since my last post! Zaza must be so disappointed in me! *hehe*

The April 15th deadline for income taxes is past so the big crush is over for now until August 15th when the extensions will be expiring. I'm soooooooo tired right now. I ended up working until 11:45 last night so I didn't get home till almost 12:30 and didn't get to sleep until one. I had to wake up at 5:30 this morning to get ready to come to work so that I could start to work on my payrolls XP.

Boy, this year was just really bad! Last year I was able to get on the internet & visit my favorite forums for at least a little while since we had some temporary help. This year my boss didn't hire ANYONE so I had to do everything by myself. I had to punch in data into the computer, print out the returns, put the returns together, answer the telephone, help clients when they came in to pick up their taxes, run errands, do payroll, etc. I had no time to get on the internet at all except to check my bosses e-mail. I missed everybody! I'm gonna have a lot of reading to do now when I log on to those forums!

I think the main thing that kept me going is my new iPod. Having all my favorite music to listen to kept me sane. However, my iPod was also driving me crazy! One time is wouldn't play my music even though it would turn on so I had to reset it. Then a couple weeks later it wouldn't turn on at all! I had to leave my iPod disconnected from all power sources for 24 hours and then reset it again! I think I was dying at work on those days when I didn't have my iPod with me. At least it's working now and I'm hoping it doesn't freak out on me again. I can't understand why only my iPod is trying to give me a heart attack. My brother & my sister's iPod's have been perfectly fine. Guess if their iPod's ever give them trouble I'll be the expert in the house considering I got my iPod last!

Right now my office looks like a tornado hit it. I'm gonna have to go through all the files that are lying all over (and I mean ALL OVER) the office and put them in order in the back corner of the office so we can find them later. We're also gonna have to sweep and throw out a lot of junks in here. That's gonna be a lot of work again. Oh well and least I'll be able to walk around the office without tripping over things.

Well, I better stop for now & get back to work (before my boss comes in & catches me! XD). Ja mata!!! ^_^
