New month has finally arrived. We leave cold and bleak July behind and jump forth for the more promising month of August.

Sophia's and Carolyn's party went well. It was some good old-fashioned fun, although it would be better if more people actually dressed up according to the them. Best wishes to Sophia and Carolyn. To be honest, these types of parties aren't really my cup of tea and so I left early at 11pm. I'm more of a small, intimate group of friends with alcohol and food. But I did have some fun and of course, some people did some nice costumes. Off the top of my head, there was a Red Riding Hood, Zorro, Batman, Mario (Jack and Lesley did a Mario and Luigi, but someone else did a much better Mario) and someone dressed up as a character from The Incredibles, Elastigirl, if I remember correctly.

Been reading a new manga called Eyeshield 21. It's a bout this boy called Sena who has this amazing ability to run really fast. He is forcibly recruited into the American Football club and face the trials and tribulations to reach the ultimate goal, the Christmas Bowl. It has got me hooked. Right now I'm not really into anime per se anymore. Just reading manga, and keeping my eye out for limited series runs, like a 6, 12 or 24 episode anime series.

Also been playing a new MMORPG (think World of Warcraft...sort of) called 2moons. It's in open beta so it's free and its not bad. It's a less forgiving environment though. The tagline is "No mercy for the weak, no pity for the dying, no tears for the slain".

I'm glad that I took Biology during high school. I'm breezing through the immune system lectures right now.

Here's a little pic from Sophia's/Carolyn's party.
I'm supposed to be a mad scientist, Helen is Cruella DeVille (she's not wearing her awesome wig) while Jack and Lesley are supposed to be Mario and Luigi respectively.
