Everything is awesome

Hey there~! Time for a quick rundown on what happened since my last blog post. Not in chronological order.

- Vince and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary this month and we're planning a special trip that doesn't involve driving to Cali (not that it's a bad thing). I've been slowly saving up for it so I want to make sure we have a great time ^_^

- We're playing Pokemon X and Y. That's probably not a big deal but for me it is. It took a few years for Vince to warm up to the series and it's a pretty big jump from Pokemon FireRed to Pokemon X. It's nice to see that he enjoys catching, raising and playing Pokemon. He doesn't want to battle or trade with me though -_-

- I've been with my current job for over a year now. I'm still mildly stressed out but it's for other things. I think I'm doing good o_o

- I started paying my student loans and that sucks. I had the option to apply for IBR (income based repayment) and while lower monthly payments sounded good, it meant that I would just paying off the interest over a much longer period of time. The remaining loan amount would be forgiven after 25 years... WTF. I would rather try to pay it off as quickly as I can. At the rate that I'm paying for it monthly, it could be done in 6-7 years... Assuming they don't raise the interest rates again.

- This year has a lot of good movies coming out. Captain America, Amazing Spider-Man 2, Godzilla, X-Men: Days of Future Past, How To Train Your Dragon 2, 22 Jump Street, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Guardians of the Galaxy, and more :D

- So yeah! New Doctor Who! It looks like it's a sort of reboot since we're going with an older doctor (Peter Capaldi). This will filter out the fangirls that only got into it for Matt Smith.

- I'm collecting more comics now, than to Vince. I still read manga series but I only read it online. Comic books and graphic novels seem much easier to collect and manage than mangas. Crunchyroll and Hulu is saving me a lot of money so I'm not going out of my way to buy it on Blu-Ray unless I really like the show.

- I'm not playing as much video games as I used to. I still have my Nintendo 3DS but I'm growing more comfortable with PC gaming, thanks to Steam. I don't see a game I personally want to get for myself on a console and we don't have a reason to get the XBox One or the PS4. I got the Windwaker edition for the WiiU a few months ago and we're pretty happy with that.

Umm... That's all I got. Ending this post with a UniKitty. See ya in a few more months!
