Happy Holidays, everyone.

OK, here's a blatant copypasta-entry from my Livejournal, as I shouldn't be taking too long to write this.
You see, apart from my short outings at the MC with Mobile Internet via my phone, I haven't had much opportunity to use the Internet this past week. I've moved to a new place now, and while I'm having enough fun redecorating the place, reading my old comics, playing games and listening to music, I haven't yet been supplied with internet, or even basic television, for that matter. So the phone is all I got right now.
Well, not right now, as I'm posting this with my mom's old computer in a half-empty house I used to live in.
But I don't think I'll be able to get proper internet or TV at my new place until after the hoilidays, 'cause apart from the fact that most provider offices are closed during this time, I'm way too busy to even bother with the 'net in the first place. And the fun part is, I'm not even really missing it all too much, either. I mean sure, it takes a bit long with the dinky mobile internet to look up the latest Smash Bros update or check my email, but for the moment, I think that'll be all I really need to do anyway.

But even so... I'll probably keep mom's old computer hooked up in the old house anyway, so I can check back at some places every so often (so far I've been coming back here every day to sort old stuff out) until I get my proper connection at my new place. I'll probably make a new entry here once that happens, so until then, happy holidays and see you all again next year! =D

Well, now.

OK, small update on everything, I guess... after Cedi's death I've been a bit miserable, and not in the mood to update this blog which has gotten off to such a great start, except not.

My aunt took me to Ikea last wednesday. To save space in my new home, I'm getting a Bed/Couch combo, and a new coffee table.
Today, I've went and picked up the key to my new place.
It's finally happening now. Tomorrow me and my friend Nico are gonna start moving some of the smaller stuff over there, and Sunday we're picking up my new bed and table, and my cousin's gonna help me put it together.

Now, I'm gonna have to cancel the internet subscription of this place pretty soon, so until I get Internet at my new place, it'll probably be a little while before I'll be online again.
I mean, I got Mobile Internet on my phone for the time being I guess, but it's not really meant to do any serious browsing with. Mostly I just use it to post at the Moogle Cavern and check the Smash Bros updates while I'm at work. XD
So excuse my inavailability while I sort this stuff out.

Now, in totally different and unrelated news, I just came across a tidbit of news today.
Excuse me for sounding like a rampant fanboy, but...
*takes a deep breath*
OH MY FECKING GOD AYREON IS FINALLY RELEASING A NEW ALBUM IN JANUARY!!!!
Whew. Had to get that out, heh. Uhm, yeah. I'm a big Ayreon fan, and by sheer coincidence (clicking an Amazon.com link via Newgrounds) I noticed that their new album "01011001" has been announced. I pre-ordered it already, eheheh... XD
I normally don't preorder ANYTHING, but I have to admit... I can't wait 'till it's arrived!

Hm, that'll be all for now, I guess.

......


...Cedi's with my mother now...
Turns out the little guy had a heart disease, paired with Pulmonary edema (Fluid in and around the lungs, causing the breathing problems).
He's been keeping himself strong for a long while, as was explained to me; when cats have this kind of problem with their heart they tense it up, which can indeed temporarily suppress the symptoms, but eventually when they overexert themselves.... something like this is bound to happen.
No one ever suspected anything might have been wrong with the guy, he was always so lively...

The doctor said we wouldn't be doing Cedi a favour by letting him suffer his breathing problems through the night.... so the poor guy had to be put to sleep.
....

It's not fair...

Oh man.....

Last night my cat Cedi (pronounced; Sadie) came home soaking wet from the rain, and suffering from breathing difficulties. I have no idea what the heck happened, but eventually it got so bad that I just didn't trust it anymore and called the All-Night vetrenarian's office. According to them it's a good thing I did, the poor thing wad so much difficulty breathing, they administered oxygen and everything.
I'm still not entirely sure what caused it. They've already made X-Rays and nothing too out of the ordinary showed up, and today they're gonna echo the heart (whatever that's supposed to do).

Man..... I hope he gets better, I couldn't bear to lose Cedi so soon after my mother...
One thing I'm not particularly looking forward to though, is the bill.... It's already up to €300, and that's before the heart-echo they're gonna be making later today. X_X;;
But then... I guess... what's € 300-500 to the life of a cat who's been so kind and companionlike for the last 8 years I've had him?

....Geez... First my mom, then having to move, and now this...
Life's got it in for me lately, and I don't know what the heck I've done to deserve it... -.-;

Welcome to the H Blog.

A Blog kept by H Hog. Yeah, the one from the Sonic community, Moogle Cavern, International Moron Patrol and all that shebang.

Buh, guess I felt like making one, dunno why. It came easily with my GMail account, I guess.
Still, I dunno what's the use for this, really. I mean, I already got a Livejournal I haven't touched in years, a Myspace account I have barely done anything with since the day I created it, and a deviantart account which I usually use to "blog" stuff on. And for my Dutch comrades there's my Hyves page, too.

So yeah, I mean, they all have the same services, and it's not like the names I wanted here were available, either.
"hhog" was taken by some hedgehog hosting thing, and "coldflame" was taken by some squatter who didn't even use the freaking account in the first place. Bweh.

...Who the hell knows what I'll end up doing with this. It's obsolete, is what it is.
But I guess I'll keep it for now. Don't expect much from this though, I guess I'll just use this to vent whenever I feel I want to write something up but don't explicitly want to bother anyone with hit, heh. 'Cause I mean... who's gonna read this?
Gimme a shout if you just did. I'd like to see if anyone's interested enough in my ramblings to use their valuable time reading it.

Fweh. Guess I'll go to sleep now, it's freakin' half past 5 AM. My sleeping rhythm has been haywire for the past week or so, and I'm supposed to be starting work again monday. That's gonna be a laugh, if this keeps up. c_c

'K, that's it.

-H

I was supposed to be busy moving to a new place around now, but the people who were supposed to clean up the new place for me to live in were slow about it, so I'm still in the same place for now.
