Happy New Year!! ^_^
Fin.
(What? You wanted more? It’s 8:35 AM and I still need to go eat breakfast!)
Gingerbread 360 Controller Cookies
December 14, 2009 – 8:28 pmLast night I made gingerbread cookies. Not just any kind of gingerbread cookies, but gingerbread Xbox 360 controller cookies.
The recipe I used to make the gingerbread cookies and royal icing.
The cookie cutter was made from a strip of disposable aluminum pan, folded over twice to prevent bloody cookies. I wanted to lay white icing over all the top, but the it was too thick and I was too tired to really think things through. What I ended up doing was just dotting the thumb joysticks, directional pads, the Xbox button, and the 4 colored bottons. It looks not cute and kinda messy, but a good try.
My coworkers like them. I was only able to make 16 cookies. Fifteen went to work. Zero came home. While they may not look pretty, they were very delicious.
I’m going to make these cookies again for the holiday party up in Burbank.
Friends
December 12, 2009 – 2:35 amLisa Kudrow visited the office today. I wanted to get an autograph on a Japanese signing board (which I keep a bunch in my car), but I was too shy to do it by myself. One of my coworkers went with me and he called her name to get her attention. I don’t think she was expecting someone to jump her in the halls like I did. My hands were shaking from the nervousness.
+1 to my autograph collection. ^_^;
Dad
December 12, 2009 – 2:34 amMy dad is doing well in Japan. He had to get an operation, but he said that he’s all better now.
Dad in Japan
December 4, 2009 – 12:28 amDropped my dad off at the airport this morning. He’s going to Japan to see a doctor. His return flight is on the 24th.
Dodgeball at Staples Center
December 3, 2009 – 8:38 amLast night, I went to the Staples Center to watch Ball of Duty play against another dodgeball team. I was too congested to play, at least I didn’t want to get my germs on the ball. How funny would it be though? I took out 39 dodgeball players in a single game! …Ok, maybe funny only to me. >_>;
But first, we had to suffer through a Clippers game. It was sad. The Clippers lost to the Rockets 85 to 102. Ouch. I like the Clippers, but why do they have to lose so often? :(
After the game the court was set up to allow 2 games at the same time. Ball of Duty played against a team called F.A.G.S. At first I thought it was some sort of derogatory pun, but I found out that the team is really full of gay men. Their team name stands for Fun Active Gentlemens Society.
It was another sad game. According to my coworker, BoD only won one game out of the entire time they played. It was also a bit unfair that the other team wasn’t co-ed, but whatever.
Wheezing a Bit
November 28, 2009 – 9:49 amI was wheezing when I woke up this morning. It was kinda hard to breath, but once I coughed a ton I was able to breath again. I finally got a substantial amount of phlegm out, too. It’s a greenish grayish yellowish color. Yuck. I also lost my voice.
My physican’s assistant friend told me to drink lots of hot tea and take mucinex. He also said it might be bronchitis and that I should go see a doctor on Monday. >_<
Anteaters
November 27, 2009 – 11:57 pmWent to the UC Irvine women’s basketball game today. There weren’t that many band members that showed up, about 13 people in all. I think most of us were made up of alumni.
The game sucked. I don’t think I’ve seen the women’s team play so poorly. (Well, I might have… Erase the bad times from my head and keep the good ones.) We lost by 28 points. UCI 50, Princeton 78. Ouch.
I also think I made my sore throat worse by cheering on my ‘Eaters. Smart move, I know.
After the game, we go to Steelhead Brewery across the street from campus. It was probably the only area that wouldn’t by hyper crowded because of Black Friday.
As of right now, I’m coughing every minute. Darn sore throat!
Dad Going to Japan
November 24, 2009 – 9:25 amLately my dad has been having problems with his heart. He says that it feels like something is pressing down on his chest whenever he’s exerting effort (i.e. going up and down the stairs, pruning the tree outside). Because of that he decided to go to Japan to see a cardiologist there.
Sore Throat…
November 24, 2009 – 8:15 amEver since Friday night my throat has been hurting. I thought maybe it was from all the yelling and drinking. Now I’m not so sure. It’s been several days and it should have cleared up by now, but I’ve been coughing and hacking. My rest of my body is OK.
I guess it gives me good reason to eat the nodo ame I have at work.
