Second Blog of the Day: What I did today.

So here's another blog, after I've already written one today. The one previous was an update of what happened on the weekend, this one is for today.

When I parked in the morning I left my sun roof tilted to let the hot air out, that accumilates throughout the day as my car is continously exposed to sunlight. Turns out this wasn't a good idea because, As you've probably realized at some point in the day (if you live in Edmonton), that there were heavy showers this afternoon. It means that a part of my insides got wet with rain. Although it wasn't anything major, it was a bit of a hassle.

To make things worse, I had the stupid idea of sliding the sun roof fully open with a roof full of rain. Bet you can guess what happened when I breaked hard. Fuck. Sometimes I swear I'm not thinking and that my head is not even connected to my body.

I filled up gas at domo, at 114.9, which is outrageous even with a 7 cents off/L coupon. I should of shopped around more, however, I had little gas left in the tank after yesterdays drive home and today's commute to work. In other words, I was desprate. I think I need to start watching the news for some sign that gas is going to rise or fall.

Chungers, Gugenz and Sam came over today to my apartment where we just chilled in the entertainment room, playing DS like nerds. Know what the great thing is? We got a girl addicted to DS, which means that other girls could possibly get addicted to DS. Awesome. I just hope my future girl friend will play video games (even if its to a minor extent), things will be more fun that way.

I've kept my throne as New Super Mario Bros. Minigame King. I've won countless matches in a row. Bwahahah, I'll take on any challengers, its damn fun!

I got to try out Wario Ware for the DS, as Gugenz had bought it some time today. It's fun as well.

Following DS, we watched 2 hours of season 2 House M.D. mixed with a bit of pool. I have to admit, after watching reruns I want to watch seasons 1 and 2 all over again and relive all the drama and the moments. Maybe I'll have a House marathon...by myself (*sniff*). At the very least, I need to watch the end of Season 2. I missed it due to school. Maybe I'll get the Dvd set when it comes out. Whenever that is. I'm looking forward to that.

An Eventful Weekend (A Rare Occurance)

Its been a pretty evenful weekend. The pace is pretty fast and it's still keeping up as the work week begins anew. So heres what happened this weekend:

Friday, July 21st
Fun times. I got off work a little earlier than usual, since it was dead and no one was in the office except for me. I met Mike (BCM) just outside of my office in CSB and we headed over to the Health Sciences Center for a LRT trip to the downtown core. There, we walked and shopped (,although nothing was bought,) around for a few hours waiting for Tmo. On the way, we played a bit of arcades at the movie theatre.

In haste, I forgot to zip up the compartment on my bag that held my cell phone and it dropped out and was lost to me for the rest of day and half of Saturday. Needless to say, it was quite a inconvenience without it and hassle trying to get it back.

When Tmo (finally) called, we headed to a local French restaurant by the name of Bistro Praha. The food was awesome and exquisite. I basically had a 3 course meal (though the food was so delicious I felt I could of had 4 or 5): A salad (with just the right amount of cheese sprinkled in), Lamb Chops with Pan fried potatoes and vegetables (boiled with butter and water I might add) and to top it off a Kiwi and Orange Liqueur Crape. The service matched the taste of the food and all this for 30 something dollars was quite a steal (I had a Stella Artois beer as well).

Around 9:30 or so, we headed over to Louis' restaurant for a night of DS...I mean, Poker. It was nerdy but fun nevertheless. I decided to head home around 1:30, to get some shut eye and wake up early and fresh to go volunteer for Kingsley at the Grand Prix.

Saturday, July 22nd
I woke up at 8:15 and proceeded to get dressed and picked up Joho in the west side, then swung back east to pick up BCM and another Mike. We went to Timmy Ho’s for breakfast and then headed to the municipal aiport, where the Grand prix was held.

Finding parking at the Grand Prix was an adventure in itself. It took us about 20 minutes of wandering and reckless driving to find the damn place. It didn’t help that this day was so fucking hot (I think it hit a high of about 37 degrees Celsius at 8:00pm according to my car's temperature gauge, but those things can be off by a degree or so). All I can say is thank god my car has A/C, otherwise my head would’ve blown up.

After parking we walked 20 minutes out in the blazing heat to the Invisions Auto Main site. It’s amazing how much energy the heat can drain out of you, so we had a little sit-down at the main tent and eventually Mike (BCM) and I got sent to the smaller Invisions site.

The problem with the smaller site was that it was setup like a full tent, with a roof and walls made of plastic tarp. No wind flow and radiating heat basically meant that it was a giant plastic oven in which to roast in. I could cook hot dogs in that tent and sell slightly less than other vendors were selling their hot dogs (usually about 5 dollars, 6 if you wanted a fracking smokie from Fat Franks). It was that hot. However, it did make for a great conversation with potential magazine and lanyard buyers.

Just like K-days, or CapitalEx I should say (or Sex if you wanna refer to it in a cool way), the food prices were outrageous. Aside from the formentioned, Lemonade (not really, since it was just lemon and water) sold for 5 dollars. Sure the cups looked big, but it didn’t really help when 90% of it was ice, I’m never buying “lemonade” from Lemon Heaven again.

The best deal for food was probably the kettle cooked popcorn, although it wasn’t so much of a deal as it was just plain tasty. This stuff was sweet yet salty at the same time and very addictive. They gave away free samples, and once I tried a handful from a bag that our co-volunteer bought, I was hooked. I bought myself a medium sized bag for $4.00 and began munching away. Those free samples were the advertsing power of that booth and, boy, it work.

During Mid-day we met up with the boys again and went for a stroll around the grounds. Sadly, I saw very few hot girls (even during the whole show). Joho however, managed to get his mack on with his Umbrella and “Would you like some shade” ploy. Good tactic and he was in a prime location at the main site (EZ motorsports girls hang out there -_- ).

At 6:00 we packed it all in. In the end I felt that the main site was the better location to be in. It was cooler, had more cars and girls than the smaller site ever saw throughout the course of the day. However, it lacked the entertainment of Dallas, one of our cohorts, who was constantly doing funny things and provoking cops. I suppose, that in itself was time well spent.

We went back to Edmonton Centre to pick up my lost phone (Thank you manager of the movie theater). It was a hassle without the phone since nobody could ask me when I was coming to pick them up at the start of the day.

That night’s plans involved going to Rum with BCM, so I dropped off the east side boys and waited at BCM’s house for him to shower and change. We then went to my house for a shower and change of clothes. Wasabi was the restaurant of choice that night with me ordering the Chirashi (It’s just assorted sashimi on rice). I tried takoyaki, which was a unique and gratifying experience.

After we met up with Gugenz, Louis and Hiromi at OJ’s downtown. Damn is that spot hard to find, or maybe I just didn’t have luck finding things with my car that night (My direction sense sucks, oh well, its fun driving around and getting lost sometimes).

Going to Rum, I met with a couple friends that I haven’t talked to in a while. I really should talk to these people, other than I’m just a lazy/shy bum who can’t message people on MSN -_-. I’ll change that I promise…well…ok I will. I’ll try to be more interesting too. At times, I feel like I’m boring people to death. After chatting, a few hugs with my friends (yay, girl contact) and sitting by myself, feeling like I got hit by the tired train, I left for home with Mike, but not before hitting the casino for a quick bathroom break and gamble at the slots (which I told I won 3.50 after I put in 2 dollars, but lost it in the end). I have no fracking idea how slots where sometimes.

I went to bed in preparations for next day’s volunteer work.

Sunday July 23rd
Woke up a little later than the day before, all thanks to Kingsley who went to pick up Joho so I wouldn’t have to. I picked up Mike and Mike and we went to McDonalds for breakfast and Esso for a 1.5 L Jug of water. The breakfast was the most gratifying meal I’ve ever had on the road.

Got to the grounds around the same time the day before and took the same 20 minute walk. Only this time, the weather was cooler since there was more of a breeze.

Again BCM and I camped ourselves in the little tent. Learning from past experience we opened up the back of the tent to let the nice breeze come through. This cooled down the tent better than we expected and the heat was more bearable than yesterday. With the shade from the sun and a breeze through our tent, this made the smaller site the place to be. Sure the main site had girls, but ours was optimal.

Tried to watch drifting that day, but couldn’t really see much, as we weren’t allowed on the grandstands. Atleast we got to see the drift cars as they pulled out of the track. I’ll have to get the pictures from Mike and post it up on the blog.

Again we bought popcorn and munched down. Yum!

All in all, this day seemed to end quicker than the previous day. When we were packing up everything at the conclusion of the event, (which took forever; I had to sit and wait for 1 hour, but atleast I wasn’t doing anything except playing tetris on my DS,) we were offered free hot dogs from Fat Franks (the guy had cooked too much, but I’m not complaining). This made my day.

I took a Rotora lanyard as my reward for 15 hours of volunteering. I also got 3 sunburns on my shoulders and neck. Apparently to Kiyoshi my sunburns make it look so that the rest of my body is wearing some sort of funky shirt. Cool...but painful.

We took the long 20 minute walk back to my car and I dropped off Mike and Mike. I got home at 7:00pm took a shower and crashed on my bed exhausted like the previous day. However the day was not over yet.

Team Tsunami’s hockey game started at 9:30 and I planned on being there an hour before. However, my intended nap extended till 8:30. I quickly rushed out of bed (after contemplating going to hockey or not), and sped down to Clairview Arena (30 minutes away from my house).

The hockey game turned into a scrimmage when the opposing team’s goalie didn’t show up and they were forced to forfit the game. Simply put, it means that I didn’t even have to show up, however, I was glad to play hockey against my team (the opposing team needed a few players, I volunteered). It was insightful to get to learn about the inner workings of a rival team.

I drove BCM home again (he had gotten a ride off Hiromi), and went home and crashed in my bed again.

It was a really tiring weekend and I’m sort of disappointed that I didn’t get to party as much as I wanted to. I’m also disappointed in not meeting hot girls, but that’s the way life goes sometimes (most of the time if your shy like me -_-).

Monday, July 24th
Back to work (yay… -_-). For lunch I bought chicken wings at Mac’s again for the tenth time in 2 weeks (bad…). I’ll probably go there today too.

After work, I met up with Hiromi and Mike and we walked Whyte ave. I, also, got my skates sharpened so that I’ll be ready for the Tomorrow’s game against the Wing Nuts.

We went to Sexposition (CapitalEx) after a meal at OJ Riverbend (BTW they closed 23rd Avenue, do not take that route). It was pretty fun. I saw my cousin and found out he was soon to be a father. I congratulated him and saw that he was pregnant too (not really, he just has a big stomach which I teased him about0. We played Bingo for half an hour and I scored a teddy penguin by breaking 2 plates with 2 balls. Gugenz went crazy on the gambling, but eventually I had to be the party pooper and get people to leave the sexposition so that they could drive me to Hiromi’s house (where I parked my car).

I find that it’s the same shit every year. Maybe I’ll go back to the sEx or probably I won’t. I didn’t find it too exciting. Maybe I need to buy a ride pass.

Wow, this entry has been 4 pages long (in Microsoft Word). All written at work while I’m waiting for faculty to reply to my emails. Great fun..great time killer. Hopefully I’ll update with pictures soon.

By the way, Nelly Furtado is awesome. She got some great songs on her new CD.

Too Tired to Blog...

I'll update this weekend's events on sunday or monday....

3 Hours of Hockey is Equivalent to Supercalifradulisticexpialidocous

On wednesday, I went to go get my car fixed so I left work a little earlier than usual. With the approval of my coworkers. Interestingly, a Japanese girl came to talk to me as I was walking to my car(I was wearing my Japan jersey). She asked me if I was Japanese, which I disappointingly said no. (Not that I don't like my heritage, it's just that being chinese is embaressing sometimes.) We proceeded to have a short conversation as we waited to cross the streets. I found out that she was from Tokyo and going to school in Edinbrough. Which lead me to conclude two facts about the world. Internationalism has a pretty big effect on the worlds inhabitants, leading to more interesting people with a diverse amount of experiences apart from their own culture. Sorry to turn that into social studies class...

After getting a regular oil change, I met Dave at Red Robins. Before leaving, we decided to play a round of arcades housed in Red Robbins. It was total nostalgia of my days hanging out at the arcade.

We proceeded to head to Mike's house for a night of nerdism. The details will not be mentioned as the night proved a little too nerdy.

Yesterday, our hockey team had a game against the weakest team in our division. Being sick of getting scored on I decided to play defense. Guess what the result was? We won! 9-3 or something like that. I'm not gloating about me being on defense was the reason for our win, its a combination of everything. Yet still, I feel that we are still not good enough to compete with the top place team in our division. As Echizen Ryouma would say, "mada mada da ne".

The next team came on after our game ended and asked some of us whether we wanted to play for them. A few of my teammates and I happily agreed, thus giving us two times the ice time we would normally get. It was awesome but very draining.

After our two games we headed down to Applebees. It was my first time there, but the atmosphere and food were good. Aside, from the t.v. showing boobies at 10:00 pm. (Surprisingly the t.v. was on the citytv channel). Luckily there were no kids there I guess.

I arrived home, dead tired. Hockey really drains you after you play 2 games in a row. I took a shower and played Animal Crossing. Dave, if your reading this don't worry, I've left you plenty of oranges, I only dug up my GOLDEN SHOVEL.

Which got me to thinking, my life would be so much more interesting if it were exactly like Animal Crossing. My blogs would go something Like this:

"So today I woke up, and sold my fishes and bugs that I had caught the previous day. Tom Nook gave me $3,000 for it (I think hes a fucking cheapskate). I took my money over to the bank and used some of it to pay off the rest of my morgage. Tom Nook says he'll upgrade my house after my house. I hope he does that soon, my house is too cramped right now.

I decided to chop down a few trees for fun. Turns out the trees had a bees nest, and they stung me a couple times. Quite painful and I look horrid. Bluebear and Kiki came to talk to me about my face (they commented that it was quite swollen), and then proceeded to talk to each other about Kiki's friend moppina, who is essentially, a mop. Kiki is crazy bitch, but I kept this comment to myself.

I went over to Dave's Town, Crunkton, and stole a few peaches from him. I then proceeded to decorate his house with flowers so it would look all girly. I posted random messages on his town board and trapped him in one spot by digging holes around him. I then looted all the furniture from his house and returned to my home town and closed the gates so that he couldn't follow me.

It was a good day!"

Ok...I better stop. This is getting to the point where I'm becoming obsessed. The DS has consumed my life. Help me...wait..no don't....

All I Want Is To Be Able To Share Files Between My Computers

BUT WINDOWS NETWORK SETUP WIZARD SUCKS NUTS. FUCK HOW IS THIS SO FUCKING INFURIATING. I HATE COMPUTERS. IF I DIDN'T SPEND SO FUCKING MUCH ON MY COMPUTERS I'D BREAK THEM.

Much Better. Ok...not really.

The Day of Over-showering

Nice weather we had today. After 7 hours of sleep I woke up (due to my biological clock). If I can't get anymore sleep than 7 hours in the future, I'm screwed. I almost fell asleep today playing Animal Crossing. But anyway, after lounging around and failing to fall back asleep, I decided to call my friend to play tennis at the Saville sports centre. We played till 2:00 and I proceeded to head home. Finding myself very sweaty and sticky, I showered.

Around 8:45 Korean Mike decides to call me and asks me to play Football (Soccer). Seeing as I had nothing to do (due to Emo being a lazy ass), I happily obliged. In attendence was Korean Mike, his sister (who was actually a ball girl), his dad, Sean and Andy. Andy I haven't seen forever, but it was nice to talk. After 1 hour of physically draining soccer, I came home sweaty and had to take another shower.

If you sum it up I've taken two showers today -_-. One more than my usual one shower. Not that I'm complaining, but two showers a day two me is way too much. Not only does it dry the skin, its a large waste of water. Ok I'll stop bitching and sounding like a PMS girl. I just hate taking more than one shower a day. But I guess for the activities, it was worth it.

Other notable experiences today:

1) I got to use this new "Off!" spray during soccer. The stuff smells like oranges. Heck, it actually smells better than cologne. I think I might buy a can and use it as cologne. It will have the dual purpose of attracting girls and keeping mosquitoes away. Now thats an idea!

2) Won my first bid on eBay today. Bought a set of Bose headphones. They're nice and a lot cheaper than if I were to buy them at the Bose store.

3) Made over 20,000 Bells in Animal Crossing today, just by catching fish and insects. Tomorrow is the big bug catching contest and I intend to own. Shit. I'm such a nerd.

Tomorrow I have a hockey practice. I'm really looking forward to getting back on the ice again after Thursday's miserable loss. I don't think I can get hockey out of my blood. I'll miss it when I go to Tokyo -_-.

He shoots. He Scores?

A Random House-ism and My Eventful Friday

Random House-ism

"Hey I can be a jerk to I haven't slept with. I'm that good." -House (Humpty Dumpty)

Eventful Friday

Well, got off work and went shopping with Mike. Had a good dinner consisting of Fat Frank's (which managed to squirt all over my pants, I think it got excited when I sank my teeth into it). Mike managed to buy the bag he has been seeking for a while. Me on the other hand was tempted by many deals, but resisted. I think I've spent enough money for now. I think I should just enjoy what I have. Well...maybe I'll just buy those Sexy Bose headphones off eBay and call it for a good month.

After shopping on both Whyte Avenue and WEM, we headed over to James' house for a nice romp of poker. I ended up losing (I rarely win anyway), but nevertheless it was fun and cheap entertainment. A few hours of DS ensued right after. Yay to nerds.

I predict that my life will be consumed by Nintendo's portable "devil machine". Its just too damn addicting, especially Animal Crossing: Wide World, which will make me ignore everthing around me should I be playing it. With the DS it looks like I won't be getting a girlfriend anytime soon. But then again, I don't really need that right now. Sure it might be fun to get kisses, but, personally, with the amount of time investment that is required, the payoff is not that great.

I see teenage couples get into fights at WEM and, in my opinion, its looks retarded. I just shake my head because I've been there, and it doesn't seem worth it. But anyway, the time will come when its ready, I'm in no rush. Just chillax, and watch the breeze go by. Maybe I'm trying to reassure myself that I don't need a girlfriend, or maybe I'm telling the honest truth. Who knows? (I do.)

Should sleep early tonight. I got a big day of Animal Crossing ahead of me. Geek Power!

(Short) Updates From the Past Few Days

Edit: Oops..did I say June? I'm on crack. I was drunk when I wrote this '-_-> . All has been edited and we can now go on with our happy lives.

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006:
Pretty much had a date with Kingsley and Perry (Shopping, Dinner and a movie). It should be noted that Perry was the third wheel, since I was out with Kingsley first. But it was a welcome third wheel. We ate at The King and I (which is awesome by the way) and watched God of Cookery by Stephen Chow. Thats a damn good movie. Gotta love the Bronze Monks of Shaolin.

The result of chair beatings and showy kung fu moves.

Wednesday, July 16th, 2006:
Once again hung out with the boys (Perry and Kings), after a shitty ass hockey game. Boy it sucked and boy was I ever pissed off. Played "Scene It" Music edition, great fun. Perry and I relied on Buzz cards to get us through the board since we didn't know jack about music -_-' . We reached the last space first, but never had enough knowledge to answer a question to get us the win. Fun though.

Thursday, July 17th, 2006:
I'm quite concerned about the status of one of my bosses at work. Shes on a indefinate leave of absense since Tuesday. I was hoping it was a small thing but she hasn't come back since and I'm getting more and more worried, since she was like a mother hen to me. Hope shes doing fine. Hung out with the boys during out coffee break. This was to be the last time we'd see Kings till Monday, since he has a car show in Winnipeg. (I hate you Kingsley!) But it was a good time killer, and made work go much more quicker.

Headed over two Dion's house for an hour of Jackass the show and then headed over to Vince's house for a short stay at an awesome party. Drinking games and beatmania will make any party great.

Another noteable event I'd like to end this blog entry with is the fact that I scared the prettiest looking girl in my apartment today. I had no idea she even existed, when on my way out to Dion's I encountered and scared her (unintently, of course) as she was coming out of the elevator. Awesome! What a way to make a first impression. It's actually nice to know that I have atleast one pretty girl in the apartment, instead of it being full of old (but nice) elderly folk. That totally made my day. Thank you!

And since I haven't done this in a while here is Kate Beckinsale:

Sizzle...

Random Ramblings of the Past Two Days

On Sunday, went to watch the World Cup at Child Molest-, I mean Mike's House. Although I was disappointed in the result, the match was very exciting. The French were attacking furiously and Italy can defended with good defense. Anyway, the Azzuri can count themselves lucky to have won the game with the French attacking like that.
Now, for the people who are screaming "Italy is number 1" and etc. to my face I have a couple of things to say to you. 1) You guys were getting dominated. Yes, your defense is great, but it was unfortunate that the French couldn't score a goal. 2) Concerning the famous Zidane Header: Yes that was harsh, but Materazzi probably deserved it, because I'm sure he said something to piss off Zidane. Rumors have it that Materazzi called Zidane a terrorist. If so, Materazzi deserved it (I would of done the same).

I also find it appaling that Italy/Materazzi needs to resort to provoking a star player to win a championship. If thats the case, they should change the rules of football (soccer, I like to use the more logical, european term) to whoever makes the most outragous offensive comment to the other team wins. Well maybe throw in a clause where if they retaliate physically then they lose. I dunno, sad on Materazzi, and sorta sad on Italy in retrospect.

Despite all that I still admire Zidane (even though I was a little disappointed at first). Although a little hot headed, (I would of shoved the comment back in his face by winning the World Cup, were I Zidane,) he is still an awesome player (The world's best, imo). Hey, he may of been called a disgrace to french football children, but atleast he sticks up for himself. It was a professional match up to that point and Materazzi should of kept his offensive comments to himself. (Karma's a bitch Materazzi, you might end up getting bombed by terrorists...) I still have to praise Italy for winning the world cup, its no small feat.

Still Awesome

Today, our team hockey team, Tsunami, played the 49ers. Not bad, even though we end up losing, hopefully we'll do something about it as the season ends. I know its a rec league, but I'd still like to play competitively.

Went to Moose Factory (they have pretty waitresses) after for some team bonding. After drooling over the waitress, I managed to order a Peppercorn New York Steak. Tasty.

Gugenz gave me 4L of concentrated orange juice. Needless to say, I'll be drinking and pissing orange juice for the next few weeks (, when I get around to making it). Thanks Gugenz.

Also, thanks Chungers for introducing me to Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. Its an awesome band and an awesome CD. I especially like the track were they start having drug names as part of the lyrics (Ectosone, peroxatine...). Think it was called "Heart Problems".

"Whole lotta walking to do..."

You Savvy? I Savvy!

Thursday was pretty much uneventful. Headed to Tmo's place with Dave, Mike and Chuck to do some...."chilling". (Won't call it what it was for fear of being cast into the catagory of uber-nerd.) Yah it was fun and great, in the end its all that matters. Parking downtown around Tmo's apartment is a bitch, since they're doing construction and restricting the use of roads. I'd like to say thanks to edmonton construction (...Jackasses).

Just went to a movie today (or technically yesterday), you may of heard of it, its called Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest. I liked the movie, thought it was great. Jack Sparrow (Captain Jack Sparrow I mean,) is always entertaining and Keira Knightly is always nice to look at (she can act well too).

Savvy! Savvy! Savvy!

I know some of my friends were complaining about it being a money maker and a total set-up to Pirates 3, but hey you know what, movies are suppose to be money makers, otherwise they wouldn't call it the movie business. Let's face it, the Pirates trilogy is looks to be better than the Matrix trilogy, and it is uncomparable to it because, whereas the Matrix trilogy was boring and unentertaining, other than the first installment, Pirates have two installments that are already more entertaining that the afore mentioned. Bets are that Pirates 3 will be better than Matrix 3. Let's stop bitching and say, if you were entertained by the movie, like I was, it was worth the money. If you really want to spite them for setting up the movie like that, wait for the movie to show up in the cheap theatres. I, however, plan to see pirates 3 opening day (If you really want, I'll give you a nice synopsis and save you the money of even attending the movie). Sure the movie might of dragged a bit long, but hey, more Jack Sparrow is not a bad thing. Sorry, that's my rant, maybe I like Captain Sparrow too much.

I've been following up on the recent Oiler off-season rumors. Although these are to be take with a grain of salt, I find these rumors nevertheless, entertainment. Apparently, Danny Markov could sign with the Oilers, and a possible deal maybe in the process to aquire either Havlat, Gomez or Sykora. Wouldn't that be something eh? Guess we'll have to see what happens. In the face of all this, I know Kevin Lowe will do whats in the best interests of the Oilers, and I hope that all Oiler fans are willing to wait till the season starts before even judging the moves that he makes.

Go KLowe! Go Oilers! (BTW good work calgary, you have 1 offensive line, congrats)

Hot Summer Night

I'm not very happy....

Just a small update. In my last post I was bitching about the hot weather, I'm going to further bitch about it right now. Its so hot right now, that I'm getting nose bleeds at night. WTF! I'm also sweating like mad. SHIZZLE!

Hot Summer Days

Yo. Aside from being a nerd and playing DS all day yesterday, nothing much happened so far this week. I bought Metroid Prime: Hunters just multiplayer. Yes, fuck I'm nerdy and probably won't get a girlfriend the rest of my life, but so what? DS is great especially when its with friends and especially when your kicking some ass. Hell, its even good when I'm getting my ass kicked. Tomorrow is DS day yet again, as Dave Chung has is scheduled to get his DS.

As for Thomas (Tmo the emo) he has just informed me that he has joined the exclusive DS lite club. Congrats tmo, say hello to your girlfriend for the next year.

Tuesday also happened to be the day that I was first exposed to Winning Eleven 10. I have played previous generations of WE, but this one was quite fun. They tweaked it so gameplay is faster. They also have whats called Nippon Challenge, where you take Japan and try to go for the World Cup all the way from qualifying. I think I'll start importing video games because they seem so much cooler when they come straight from Asia.

Shunsuke Nakamura (this is from WE9)

By the way, Les got me some nice jeans from asia. Thanks Les, you'll get your jello shots when you come back.

This morning I woke up late. It figures since today I had an important meeting at work. I ended up running from the park aid to work (oh maybe about 6-7 blocks) and frantically searching for the meeting room by running up and down flights of stairs. Needless to say when I actually got into the meeting I was sweating. That was embaressing. Never again, will I sleep late. (And by never again, I mean I'll probably for the whole ordeal and sleep late again sometime in the next week.)

Our weather here has gotten pretty hot. Today it was 34 degrees celcius of pure sweating. I'm lucky my office is air conditioned of I would of died out there. I'm dying in my room right now as I blog. I've resorted to a wardrobe of just boxers when I'm in the comfort (or hell, whatever you wanna call it) of my room. Napping in my room is worse because I get sleep sweats and I end up all sweaty when I wake up. I think its time I invest in an air conditioning unit or I suppose I could save some money and suffer for the rest of summer. Maybe I'll just live in a bath tub of cold water.

France won today. Go France, Go Zizou. Hope you get a happy retirement gift Zidane. (Btw, for any TSN commentators reading this blog, which i highly doubt, his name is pronounced Zi-Dan not zi-dane. Zi-dane sounds retarded you idiots.)

Go Zizou Go. Go Les Bleu!

House Party Aftermath

I must say the Chris' house party was surprisingly great. Everybody got pretty messed up when we started eating the jello shooters. I made 2 types, lime and orange. The orange jello shooters preserved the orange flavor, the lime jello however, was made of half vodka, half water and tasted like rubbing alcohol with a hint of citrus flavor. Thank god, for the citrus twist part of the Smirnoff Vodka.

Yumm...

Unfortunatly, people got careless and ended up spilling the jello shooters over Perry's board game and the floor. The consequences isn't catastrophic, but they managed to ruin some essential pieces to a new board game, as well as, dirty up Chris' hosue. It'd be nice if epople were a little more considerate at times.

All in all, however, a good party and a good night. We stumbled home and Kingsley and I ended up staying up at Perry's house for the night. During the night I woke up to find a girls watch on my bed. I was scared for a moment and was wondering if I had brought a girl to sleep with me. Then I realized, I'm Wing and the panic subsided.

Waking up, my throat felt a little better, however I felt parched due to the last night's massive consumption of alcohol. Hangover was minimal, so that was good, but I felt parched all day. I managed to get a brain age of 24 when I woke up, which was good consider I sort of a had a hangover.

I was Kingsley's personal chauffeur for the day, and we went on various errands for his birthday barbeque. We had to get condements, tin foil, firewood, more buckley's (for me, I know, its bad for me), Franks and accompanying hotdog buns. We figured that all of the above could be purchased at Superstore, in the end we were wrong and managed to all but the firewood.

Our trip to superstore was one of discovery and amazement. For some strange reason, longer quantities of tin foil were cheaper than smaller quantities. Fracked up eh?

Firewood was a bitch to get. It took as trips to two other locations besides superstore to find it. Canadian Tire had none, but offered to give us their used pallets should we have an axe to chop it up. Me and Kingsley declined, feeling lazy. Canadian Tire: useless! Next stop was Esso, and it wasn't until we asked the lady that we found the firewood.

After a quick shower and a few other errands, we headed over to the park. It took us a while as we were given wrong directions and the fact that the park was in downtown. We had a little trouble finding spots but eventually found a good place to cook and eat. I won't bore you with the details because it was quite ordinary for a barbeque.

We're now watching SPL at Perry's house, some crazy cop movie. The events happen in a sporadic fashion so I'm somewhat confused.

Sorry no pictures of Kate on this post. Maybe next one.

Hell yeah, it brought joy to Chris' party too

Osashiburi!

Wow, its been about 3 days since my last post. Long time eh? Lots have been happening the past 3 days. I guess I'll recap everything.

Thursday June 29th, 2006:
After getting off work I frantically rushed to Perry's house. It was Dave (Chungers') B-day and there was a lot to do before we attended the party, including buying his gift. We decided to buy him a board game (Thought it would be unique and maybe something he'll like). In the end we bought a game called Munchkin, which is quite a fun game in my opinion. Its like Dungeons and Dragons but with cards. In the game you can also stab your friends in the back by indirectly killing them or making them lose a level. It's great and will cause a lot of hatred among people who are playing it.

Afterwords, we needed to buy our own steaks for the party. (We also bought the supplies needed to make sparkling Ribina...YUM!) Although a violation of the standard party rules, having a BYOM (Bring your own meal/meat) rule at a party takes away a lot of work and decision making for the host. Why bother calculating how much food people will need and what kind of food they will enjoy, when you can just get them to bring their own. Besides, the guests will be happy with what they eat because they chose it themselves, and if they're not you can call them idiots for bringing something so bad tasting.

Furthermore, BYOM is better than a potluck, because you don't have to ask what other people are brining and request that they bring something else because 10 other people are brining that food item. And with BYOM its not like you can't share it with other people anyway....

All in all it was a great party. We had fun and my DS lite (with Brain age) got passed around more than Perry on 97th street and the local whore combined! It was great to see so many people having fun with the DS lite. Maybe, I should go market for Nintendo, or nintendo could pay me for letting other people try out my DS lite. (I've even got Dave and Thomas hooked, they've already made future paycheck commitments to the sexy piece of machinery.) The money I'd get from that job would be going back to them eventually, because I'd pump money into buy games for the DS. Having seen the popularity of my DS I realize that Nintendo is gonna own the next generation. I was a skeptic but I think the DS has really won me over and so has Nintendo. They're marketing strategy is innovative for a game industry, they also have the inventiveness to see their strategy innovative. Good Work Nintendo, you've made me a fan again after the sorely disappointing Nintendo 64 (I must admit there was some classics with the N64). I look forward to buying my first Wii (and playing with it, as sick as that sounds).

Dave's actual birthday. So...happy birthday Dave.

Work was sort of a drag. The friday atomosphere killed any initiative to work. I had lunch with Kingsley, which was quite nice. Went to Wendy's where we proceeded to talk about Cars, Girls (how crazy they drive us with their outer space logic) and work. Nice to know Kingsley has a tool for tire changing. Would of saved me a lot of effort when I was changing to my summer tires, but it I suppose my days of hard tire changing is behind me now. Well I hope so.

After work I came home and crashed. I wasn't feeling so well, because two days ago I came down with (, what I think now,) a cold. I bought a bottle of Buckley's Cough Suppressant on Wednesday and have been drinking it out of the bottle ever since. In a span of three days I've consumed almost 1 bottle. I think I've been drinking too much because I've been getting muscle pain in my right shoulder. Apparently, this is due to the camphor; When you ingest too much you get muscle hyper tension. So periodically I feel pain as I drive in my car, due to shifting gears with my right arm. I'm going to cut down now.

Our crew decided on a late night games night, consisting of board games and poker at Louis' restaurant. However, we decided to grab a drink at Brewsters first. They have this really unique Blueberry Beer. It's pretty interesting and eating the blueberries after finishing your cup of beer, provides some nice flavor. Dave kept spitting out his blueberries, which he gave to me (I was unaware he was spitting them out). I threw them in my mouth only to hear Dave yell "NO!" and I realized that something had happened to those berries. I spit them back in a cup and proceeded to laugh. Great...next time I listen to my instincts when my friends give me food. (Dave told me in some cultures we'd be married. If I was to marry a guy I'd want to marry you Dave. Tmo's too emo.)

One more stop before Louis' restaurant: The Liquor Shop. We bought Hypnotique (Always good, in my opinion), Smirnoff Citrus Twist (for jello shots for tonight) and some Pomegrante Liquor, suggested by one of the employees (can't wait to try it).

We got to Lulu's restaurant and we started with a game of poker (which I sat out for Super Mario Bros. on my DS). We then played Munchkin and Pirates Cove (a game which Perry bought at the same time we bought Dave's gift). Pirate's is great, I was fully emerged in that game despite being so tired. The game ended with Perry sending the Navel Fleet against me, while I was engaged with some Baron Ghost Ship (I hate you FAIRY!). It ended with me killing the Navel Fleet but falling to the Ghost Ship, oh well I suppose I was lucky to kill somthing. Perry won the game, but I look forward to a rematch tonight!

Other notable events that night: Dave getting a Brain Age of 20 (Highest Possible Score, and I hate you DAVE) and Louis memorizing 18 out of 30 words in 2:00 (Another game in Brain Age and I hate you LULU. I think I've said "I HATE YOU" to everbody who went to Louis' restaurant except Tmo, so, I HATE YOU EMO, just because).

Saturday July 1st, 2006
So on to today, I want to say Happy Birthday to Canada. Damn, your old. Tonight's party at Chris' has some potential, especially since he rented a Slurpee machine. Now, if hot girls show up then I will give his party 5 Stars out of 5. Otherwise, I'll rate the party, as Dave Chapelle's Rick James said "Four thumbs down". I'm bringing Jello shots, so I think I'll have a fun time regardless. Hope to have a post tomorrow.
