Airplane Fears…. From Television

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

So lately, I've been having this rather irrational fear of not wanting to be inside an airplane because something terrible will happen... Something like a biological weapon that follows some sort of "pattern" will be injected into a victim via a syringe which will cause him to melt/explode which in ...

Salsa…

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

What is there not to love about fresh homemade salsa? Nothing! It came out delicious. :9 I used heirloom tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, red onion, lemon, lime, and jalapeño. Muy delicioso! Afterwards, as I was eating a white peach, I got a sudden urge to rub my right eye. Rub. Then, the ...

Another 2 Weeks of Comp Time

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

My producer left a message for me on my cell phone. She said that it’s going to be very boring at work, so she’s extending everyone’s comp time for another two weeks, so she would expect people back on October 13th. Um... I’d still be in Japan at that time, ...

Fishing in Video Games

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

Fishing in any video game should be BANNED. I’m currently trying to catch a stupid fish for the stupid cat that belongs a stupid lady in Legend of Zelda Wii. ARGH! I swear, I’m going to stab myself in the eyes. And here I thought fishing in Final Fantasy XI ...

WaMu Goes Boom

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Well, it finally happened. Washington Mutual went down. The Feds took it over last night, and then sold it to JPMorgan Chase. Whee. Now that I’m a Chase customer, what am I going to do now? I’m going to Disneyland! I’m not going to Disneyland. I may go next year ...

The Dark Knight

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Finally saw the Dark Knight in IMAX tonight. Dennis wanted to see the 9 PM showing before it was swapped out for Eagle Eye. I think Jon said that this was his 4th time in the theater, and Allen’s 3rd? And here I am happy with one viewing. It was ...

An Uneventful Weekend

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

Slept for most of the day on Saturday. I really didn’t mean to do that, but I did. I got sleepy at around 2 PM, and when I woke up it was well past 5 PM. Ate dinner with Laura, Steven, and Franklin. They wanted to eat at Lucille’s Smokehouse ...

Switched Banks

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Today, I went to First Entertainment Credit Union to open a new account and deposit 1/2 of all the money I have in Washington Mutual (which isn’t much) into my new account. WaMu’s financial health seems to be on rocky ground at the moment and if it does go under, ...

The Price Collection at LACMA

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Went with my mom to see the Japanese art from the Price collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art today. Originally, we were going to go early in the morning to beat out any crowd that would be there, but we both overslept. It didn’t matter because there ...

Body Tiyurd

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

I didn’t consume enough calories before I went to the gym because when I got there, I realized how low in energy I was. :( I did my best. 25 minutes on the bike, weights (abs, legs x 5), and then 15 minutes of cycling again. Not bad, I think. ...
