--I now have an MSN Messenger screenname!  So if you want to IM me, but you don't have AIM or Skype, now you can!  You can find me at mecteol@gmail.com (or perhaps quadruplify, if it works) -- add me please!  Though I admit I'm not always the one who'll start the conversation first, jsyk.  8D  And FYI, I'm mecteol on AIM and Skype, in case you haven't added me there yet, and my MSN username is also my e-mail address, in case you ever wanted to contact me through that.

--I finally got my birthday card from edge_chan in the mail yesterday!  :D  I already thanked you yesterday, but I figure it's all right if I say thanks again, no?

--Speaking of mail: I got my first jury duty summons today.  ^_^;  It's scheduled for August 18, which is doable.  I'll have to go back to college on September 4, which probably means I won't have to worry too much about serving for any longer than that day.  I could push it out ten months, but the only I'll be able to do that is June, which could potentially muck up my post-graduation plans, especially if a job is involved.  So, August 18 it is.  :B

--The job has been going fairly well; I worked a full day on Wednesday and a half-day on Friday, and I'll probably be working much of next week too (not on Friday, as I have a dermatologist appointment then).  It's not a very interesting job; my work on Friday consisted solely of affixing labels on envelopes in a certain way because of a mass mailing they're about to do.  It could be worse, I suppose -- I could be sorting rubber bands, or digging graves, or working with sewage.  And I bet a good number of the Cool Kids™ I know doing Cool Jobs™ are probably doing something similar, LOL XD  The only part that really sucks is having to get up at 7 AM --  I am not a morning person.  Still, I might apply to another job, though, who knows.

--TWO ENDINGS AND A BEGINNING: I watched a few interesting things lately -- Toy Story 3, the last episode of Durarara!!, and the pilot for Pioneer One.

( 'Yes, I AM seducing you.' )

( 'Forty-seven languages?' )

--Finally, we'll end this post on another meme, stolen from aaaaaah and stormbringer986:

( I think I've done this one before... )

A movie trailer, more Transformers: Prime news, and more songs

--Saw this trailer not too long ago.  I'm not too thrilled about (what appears to be) the storyline, but damn those are amazing visuals!  I may have to see this one just for the eye candy.  XD

--More Transformers: Prime news: According to onetruesikorsky, no toys are planned for TF:P at this time.

Plus, TFW2005 has more info from the BotCon panel:

( TF:P rumors under the cut! )
