Carrots + Bunnies

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

I totally love giving my rabbits a carrot because they tend to fight over it. Sen would take a carrot, and then Hoji would steal it from her. Sen would eventually steal it back and it would go on back and forth until the carrot is gone. The thing is, ...

Osechi… GO!

Monday, November 24th, 2008

This year I’m thinking about making osechi for New Year’s. I’ve been buying Kyou no Ryouri magazines and one of them had osechi making recipes. I think I’ll try it. Follow instructions, get delicious food! Well, that seems to only work about 99% of the time. I also might end ...

Wicked Good

Monday, November 24th, 2008

My weekend was pretty eventful. More so than usual I would think. Saturday, I saw an ikebana demonstration hosted by the Sogetsu Los Angeles Branch in Encino with my sister. One of her clients invited Laura and she asked me if I wanted to go as well. If I ever ...

The Library is Awesome

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

One of my coworkers lent me the books to the Sookie Stackhouse mystery series and got me totally hooked. The latest book is From Dead to Worse and still in hardcover form. I don’t want to pay $30 for a book of a series I don’t own except for book ...

Square-Enix Opening Up an NA Dev Studio?!

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Oh... My.... Gosh... http://www.gamespot.com/news/6201258.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;1 http://www.square-enix.com/na/careers/ No artists though. How sad. Although, I’m not ready to leave Treyarch. They’re a good company. Plus... My vacation accrual rate is awesome. I don’t want to start at the bottom as sukkorz.

Layer of Soot

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

The fires around Southern California is pretty bad. It seems that every time there’s a heat wave around here wild fires flare up. This time it’s around Santa Barbara, Brea, and Santa Ana. I even opted to not drive to Irvine to play with the band last night because I ...

Soybeans to Tofu, Attempt 2

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Last week’s attempt at making tofu failed rather miserably. This time, I was better prepared. I purchased more cheese clothes, a pyrex measuring cup, and ever important thermometer. My dad helped again. One thing I discovered is that as soon as the boiled soybean mush is strained, the soy milk is ...

Company Wrap/Holiday Party

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

So this year, the company party is going to be held in Las Vegas instead of a bar somewhere in Los Angeles. It’s refreshing that it’s not at the Highlands or at Gotham Hall, but Vegas? It’s so far away. At least it’s paid for. Bus to Vegas and back, ...

Star Trek Exhibit in San Diego

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

A group of my friends and I went down to see the Star Trek exhibition in San Diego Air and Space Museum. Walking around the place made my geek meter rise, and I finally wanted to see the original Star Trek episodes, which I never had wanted to before. They ...

Election

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

This is awesome. America has it’s first African-American president. Someone who I can believe in to move America in a better direction. Woohoo! On the other hand, Prop 8 is going to pass. That is depressing. I don’t understand how there are people who are willing to take away another human’s ...
