Delaware FurBowl 7: August 1st
Because what fur doesn't like to throw their balls around!
What: Eating and Bowling!
When: Saturday August 1st, 7:00 PM - 12:00 PM
Where: International Grill Buffet, AMF Price Lanes
Details: We'll be meeting at the International Grill Buffet which is along Kirkwood Highway, near party city, at 7:30PM. We'll head inside grab some really delicious buffet food. Expect $15 for all you can eat plus a drink.
You will be paying the restaurant directly instead of me.
Around 8:30 we'll be leaving there and heading to AMF Price Lanes. We should get there just in time for cosmic bowling. Expect to bring about $15 for two games and shoes.
You will be paying the bowling lanes directly instead of me.
Directions:
International Grill Buffet
AMF Lanes
Directions from International Grill Buffet to AMF Lanes
RSVP:
PLEASE RSVP!
You can RSVP by either commenting here or messaging me. Tell me how many folks are coming and what you'll be coming for.
Example:
I'm bringing myself and my friend. We will both be there and will both be eating and bowling.
Showing up at random gives me gray hairs. I don't need my stripes fading just yet!
FAQ:
Can I just hang out?
Sure you can come to just hang out! Lots of folks come to just socialize!
Do I need to spend any money?
Nobody is going to fault you for pinching your pennies however, buying a soda at the resteraunt, or some food from the bowling alley, helps ensure they enjoy hosting our group.
How much should I bring for everything?
Expect to spend about $30 for both events.
Can I wear my fursuit?
Fursuits at the bowling lanes are all groovy and cool as long as you're comfy signing the legal waiver. However do not suit to the buffet. For practicalities sake as well as good will with the restaurant. Tails/ears however are encouraged. Just remember that it's on a Saturday and will more than likely be a bit crowded with mundane folk.
And with that I hope to see you all there for a great night of fur, food, and fun!

Anthrocon was the best.
Got back from my trip a few days ago. Anthrocon was the best.
I truly had the time of my life, and have never had as good of a time anywhere than I had at this years AC. It was that great. I spent too much money, didn't sleep enough, met tons of new friends and got to see lots of old ones, and got to suit for god knows how long.
Getting there Tuesday night was definitely the right way to go. We were able to just chill out all day Wednesday and hang out, which was very nice, because once the convention started up, I was rushing from one panel to the next. And when I wasn't at a panel, I was in suit socializing, or losing money in the dealers den. :3
I got two new white tiger plushies, commissioned two new conbadges, got who knows how many new t-shirts, and scored myself a very special 666 DI badge.
I brought along my best friend Jox, for his first AC too. I'm very glad I did, it wouldn't have been nearly as fun without him. Having someone to talk to on the train ride, handling me in suit throughout Pittsburgh, watching Kage's hour both in suit, and all in all him just being there was really great and something special for me.
( Check out some of my Anthrocon Pictures )

I can't wait till next year. :3

...and when it pours, it hurricanes...
Spun out my car tonight. Everyone is ok, the car is in good enough shape too, trashed a tire but that was it. Wet roads, going too fast, lost traction. Ugh, I'm shook up.
It's not the fact that it happened, it's the fact that my best bud Jox was with me when it happened. This could have been a lot lot worse.
They say bad things happen in three's so here's I'm over my bad luck spree.
Just gotta learn from this.
AC is in a few more days. Woohoo

Worst of times, best of times
Life's been throwing me for a coaster lately. Mostly it's been in the pits, but I try to keep telling myself there's a high-point right around the corner.
Since my last post, I had a really awesome house-warming party. Everybody likes my house, and it was deemed "The Furst State Clubhouse" :3 Vegaguy came by and grilled out for us, delicious BBQ food. And Reaux and Aisha created a BBQ garden which consisted of grilled corn and a hot dog on a stick. Real good time, I even suited up for a little bit. You can see some of it here:

Been hanging out with friends nearly every Friday. Going out to a diner, or just chilling out at one of their houses. A good way to start the weekend.
Anthrocon is right around the corner, all my travel plans are set and I'm just waiting for some touches up on my suit. It's gonna be kick-butt. I've gone over the AC schedule already and I can already guarantee I'm gonna have a frigging great time. I'll be suiting up too with my best friend, Jox, who just got his suit. Oh man, Just thinking about it makes me smile.
I'll be in Pittsburgh from Tuesday night to Monday morning. Got myself a nice long furry vacation.
I finally got my stadium seating! Ever since I moved up here I wanted something like that. So one day I finally got Jox over, planned out the platform, got the lumber, and went to work! It took about two days of working, two hundred nails, and one do over but it looks so nice.
I'll post some pics of it soon.
But wish I could say everything has been flowers, puppies, and sunshine. Been going through a whole lotta crap too. Click the read more if you wanna check out my low-points.
( Read more )
But, now it's back to work. Bowling tonight, so that should be a good time.

Things are better now
Had a very productive day yesterday.
Jox spent the night the night before so I woke him up around 11:00 and we head out to do stuff.
I got some furniture for my house finally. A couch, a dining room set, and a coffee table for a heckuva price.
Then we went to Best Buy where I picked up a display model surround sound system for under it's marked price.
Then we went to the grocery store where I finally FINALLY got some groceries. Now I don't have to eat out all the time!
And then Gshep helped me retrieve another free couch from a friend and get myself a free grill from another friend.
So I got lotsa stuff yesterday.
Also, me and Kiwi are back to where we were, a happy couple. I don't want to get into details but I was a just being a complete idiot.

Been a while
Haven't updated in a while.
Things have been going down, up, and down again.
After I bought I had a bad week. First the flat tire, then the next day I learned my grandmother passed on, then the hot water incident, it kinda felt like life was out to bring me down from how good I was feeling.
But time passed and I moved in and am now starting to get settled. I still got lots to do but this is slowly starting to feel like "home."
I need furniture. Want to do a stadium seating setup in my living room, need to plan that. I also have to figure out what's going to happen with my dining room.
I'll be having a house-warming party for friends on Sunday, May 17th.
You can find details here.
I've been feeling worse about the state of the company I work for. Business is slowing down a lot right now, when it should be/needs to be picking back up. I don't know how much longer my boss can hold out like this.
I've got a few feelers out there looking for other jobs and I think my friend Gshep might have been able to get me in with a tree servicing company.
The pay is better with them, as well as the hours. It's hard work but interesting, which is better than what I'm doing right now. I'm hoping to get a try-out soon. I think it would be a good job for me.
I just got two cats from the SPCA. Pete, an older orange tabby with a bushy tail, and Mel, a smaller cat with black fur and a white underside.
But they seem to hate each other at the moment. I'm hoping that clears itself up soon. Or else I'm thinking I'm going to have to remove one.
Screw the stuff that was here.

It's not the destination, it's how you get there.
As many of you have probably already heard, I am now a homeowner. I settled at last around 5:00 PM yesterday, about 1 1/2 hours longer than it was supposed to run. The closing really wasn't as bad as I had heard, it was just waiting mostly as Wells Fargo and the HUD authority got their contracts finalized. Done the day of closing of course.
After the settlement I decided to pay a visit to my new place. I went inside and it was a bit humbling just knowing that it was really mine. From the front door to the driveway, from the washer/dryer to the attic, it's all mine now.
So far being a homeowner rocks.
But now a story of the other adventure I had yesterday.
No sooner had I left my new house for the first time though, than I noticed something was acting funny with my car. Well apparently somewhere in my travels I had ran over a nail, and before I could leave my development I had to pull over and attend to it. And attend to it I could not. I got the car jacked up and everything but the lugnuts on the wheel were on there so tight, that I could have been jumping up and down on the tire iron and it still wouldn't move.
Luckily however a good Samaritan was driving by and offered me a hand. This guy went above and beyond the call of duty, he went home got a heavy duty ratchet set and got my lugnuts off. But then we still couldn't get the tire off for some unknown reason. We kicked, pulled, tugged, and everything else imaginable but still it wasn't going anywhere.
Eventually we had to call it quits and decided it best be handled by a professional. Again this good Samaritan goes above and beyond. He uses his own can of fix-a-flat to get me rolling good enough to make it to the gas station. He follows me there and even pays for the air pump for me.
And to top it all off, this guy lives two doors down from where I'll be. So I've already met the neighbors!
Even though yesterday had a lot of little faults that kinda made it suck, it was one of the best.
So yeah, life is pretty good right now. I finally got my own house, I got a loving sexy girlfriend, I got a paying full time job, and I've got a kick-ass social group to hang with in The Furst State.
Yeah, I like where I am.

Closing Time.
The day is finally here, A few more hours until I sign off.
I went through a little nervousness there for a few days. Just wondering to myself if I'm moving too fast or if this is really the right thing to do. But right now I'm feeling calm, a little nervous, but mostly calm.
The final walk-through at 1:15, then 2:30 for the closing. It's been a long road, glad to finally see it all come to fruition.

[Link] | Remember how that, as far as my house went, everything was signed, dotted, initialed, etc. ad nauseum?
I was lying. T_T
EDIT: One vague comment and y'all assume the worst?! Geez lewiz.
Everything's cool, I just had to scramble a bit more for more papers and whatnot. My mortgage officer/processor/realtor/banker just really like to lure me into a sense of calm then frenzy me into a panic over every little thing.
I actually just got my mortgage commitment letter so w00t w00t.

Super Mega Tiger Update #2
This house business hullabaloo is finally coming to a close. 11 more days and I'll be a homeowner. Everything is signed that needs to be signed, everything is checked that needs to be checked, all that needs to be done now is get the money for closing costs.
Hoo! I can't wait!
I've been hanging out a good deal with friends lately. A while back actually went with Jox for a daytrip up to the King of Prussia mall. It was neat, if not preppy. We got lost on the way back and we were driving through the foothills of PA, in the dark, in the rain, on low gas for about an hour before we got back onto a major highway. The foothills of PA are creepy on dark and stormy nights.
Also been going over to Lupinespark's place. Him and his wife are real cool people that just recently joined the forum. I've been going over there quite a bit lately on the weekends. Lots of card-playing (mostly 31) to be had and overall chilling out with the occasional BBQ cook-out as well.
I've also gotten myself a new girlfriend. Kiwichan's her internet handle, she's a fur from The Furst State forum. She's a lot of fun and cool to just hang with. I went over to her place for Easter dinner and we wound up hanging out all day watching comedy central.
Anthrocon is creeping up slowly but surely. I'm getting excited 'bout it. Still gotta set-up my mode of transportation there, but that's all that's left for my travel plans. :D If things go well I plan on hitting up Furfright for my next convention.
I picked up Fallout 3 on my recent expedition out to King of Prussia mall with Jox, and if you've been hesitant on picking this up, then do yourself a favor and go ahead and get it. It definitely lives up to the Bethesda quality. It's a very interesting game world to explore and blow stuff up in. I've played the game for hours sometimes just wandering around shooting mutants while I explore the ruins of post-apocalyptic DC. And more importantly it's just plain and simply fun.
Back to the grind! :3

Grrrrrrrrr! Your fursona is The Cheetah. Someone really loved Thundercats as a kid, didn't they? Cheetahs are the fastest land animal, yet they have very poor climbing abilities. Cheetahs are covered in spots. Those with larger, blotchy, merged spots are referred to as 'King Cheetahs.' While you are pretty slow, there is still a good chance of you being a King Cheetah.

The Big Takeover
If you're a bit unsure how we got into this giant economic crisis you might want to check out this .rolling stones article.
It gives a detailed look at what lead up to this crisis, the major players, and what is (not) being done about it.
A side of warning however, it might make you just as angry at wall-street as it has me.

Week Closing Comments
It's been about a week since my last post and I've been quite busy since coming to a price on the house.
I'm being hounded for important papers, bank statements, inspection reports, etc. ad nauseoum.
I think I got everything I needed to get in though and now all i need to do is wait for the settlement date of April 24th.
I get to go to a class for home-ownership tomorrow to qualify for some money from the state. It's a good time to be a first time home buyer. Getting money from New Castle County for taking the before-mentioned class, getting money from the Federal Government for being a first time home buyer, and getting a heck of a deal due to fallen home prices.
Took a little time yesterday to do a little de-stressing yesterday after the hectic flow of the past few days. Got up with Jox and went to the Cohanzick Zoo. They've got a white tiger there.
That was my first time actually seeing a white tiger in real life. It was a little bit of a humbling but spiritual trip, if that makes any sense.
EDIT: The thing about white tigers though, is that they aren't really a naturally occuring genetic subset of the tiger species.
Almost all white tigers were bred specifically to bring in the crowds to zoos or shows.
I almost feel a little guilty because of the fact that I went specifically to see the white tiger, thus perpetuating the system.
My fursona being a white tiger makes my dilemma all the more complicated.
But on the way back we stopped in at a local general store and got some pretty tasty food. It reminded me a lot of the general store back down in my hometown.
