Earthlink DNS Sucks Ass

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

I have Earthlink as my internet service provider. It’s been good to me (for the most part), but once in a while, I’ll have to run through hoops to get things working. Namely, getting the DNS to work correctly. Frustration knows no bounds when I’m trying to pay my bills ...

Started Last Remnants

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

Interesting story line so far. Unfortunately, the demo I played at TGS didn’t quite display all the HORRIBLE animations of the characters. I don’t think I’ve ever seen animation this bad. Over animation in some cases. It’s as if they hired a newbie animator who just learned the tools. What ...

Erika’s Christmas Day

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

For lunch I thought I would make shumai again using the rest of the pork. I also invited Laura over to eat some. I also managed to get her to help me out. She initially only wanted to just come to eat and then go home, but I convinced her ...

First Attempt at Shumai

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

Last night, I made shumai from scratch for the first time. I saw a recipe from the January 2009 issue of Kyou no Ryouri and I thought I’d give it a try. Shizuki always talks about making shumai and I was like, mmm, shuuumaaaiiiii... Making it was easy enough. Making ...

Christmas Caroling Band Style

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

Tonight was the annual band christmas party. I thought I was going to be late to the caroling portion because I left my house a little before 6 PM (when it was supposed to start) and I still had to buy a white elephant gift. Lucky me, they were waiting ...

So Cold

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

So cold right now that I’m wearing socks and a hanten to bed. Brr! >_< Although, I think I prefer my winters cold like this. It makes me rather uneasy watching the trees start blooming in the winter because we’re going through a heat wave.

Knitting Caps x 2

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

I told my coworker that I’d knit her and her sister a cap this winter. Her sister, you see, has cancer. Last year I knitted a purple version of the kitty hat. This year I thought I would make two. Something that matched as sisters. One will be a dark ...

Dodgeball Practice Again

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Went to dodge ball practice again tonight. I went for only 1 hour though. Food was calling at home and I didn’t want to be eating at 11 PM at night. I told my coworker that if any guy chucks a ball going 100 mph at my face that I ...

I’m Back!

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

Tadaima! I’m back from Las Vegas! Well, I got back on Friday. Stayed only one day because my sister only wanted/needed to go home the next day. It would have been nice if I was able to see some of the shows in Vegas, but oh well. Maybe next time. ...

Going to Vegas!

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Company party in Las Vegas is tonight. Gonna dress up a bit (dressy casual is the aim). Aaaand... I’m out!
