Weeeee! let the games begin!!

Weeee..

Yesterday was quite enjoyable, bbq action at the house. I'd like to thank everybody who came by and hung out for a while. It was a good sized possee, and the weather held somewhat well. When the clouds cover the sun, its all frigid, when the cloud passes, it's all hot and warm. Silly pacifica..

Today, hung out with fluffielady's parents. I picked up my old bow and arrows and we went to the Sharp Park Archery Range here in Pacifica. It's an archery range but theres also a 28-target hike-n-shoot dealio. Only 2 people were there that were tending to the range and we roamed into the forests. Afterwards went to the shack, i had shrimp salad.. i think thats the best, there are others but this is up there. So my count of Flavors tried goes to: 33 out of 50. woot! Headed to an old gun store that i've always heard of but never been to, in San Carlos.. It's pretty big with a good amount of weps. There i found my Speed shotgun that i want, for $1285 (msrp 1350). But the find of the day was a sporterized Springfield 1903 rifle for $250. I shoulda bought it, but fluffielady called and reminded me that i had a back-crackin' action in 25min. So next time i go there, if it's still there it's mine.. And that rifle is one of the kings of kick (.30-06 caliber(i remember shooting a .375H&H(used for elephants) and seeing white when i shot that)), so Carol will really enjoy that one!
Got to the back-cracker 10min late, but it was ok. Got onto the table and the doc had problems with me last week, i told him that i crack the other doc more than he cracks me sometimes. So this time he got prepared. 1st thing he did was this wierd stretching where he pulled on my side while pushed on the spine.. yum.. 2nd thing was he massaged the tough spots with his elbow, he said if it hurts tell him. it didn't, he said it usually does to others, thats why he had to use the elbow on me. Then he zapped the back with electro-stim pads. After a while he came back cracked it, finally. And said that was the first step lets do more as we continue in the future. i think he was sweating. and i just go for fun, now he says i might be worse than fluffielady's back problems, but i don't feel anything wrong and fluffielady knows EXACTLY whats wrong with her, and how to fix it. Funny how that works. i just wanted to get rid of my racing hump..

The fun is over, once you find the end thats it.. It was so with the Get-Around-Girl.. Theres two webpages that kept a bunch of her in ad's. The first calls her the StockPhoto Girl and the second is Some dood's Blog.. The images are from the Getty Image Company. You could see a bunch of collegesque shots with the Get-Around-Girl.. But alas no names or any sort of info could be found about the girl.

Fluffieladys been feeling a bit better. Not as jacked as yesterday, still feeling a bit queezy at times. poor thing..
Anybody want any expired Yogurt? heh

PoorPoor Fluffielady.. 3:45am today she had an onset of Food Poisoning. Bad thing is today is rehearsals for the dance concert later tonight. She tried to rest so that she could at least go to the show but that didn't happen.. The poisoning came from this burrito shop across the street from the El Farolito on Geneva and Onondaga. We've been there a bunch of times but she had chicken, i had beef.. oi..

I had a fun romp to the Hospital. i saw Ultrasound action.. Now i've almost completed my set of diagnostic tools.. MRI, CAT, PET, UltraScan, X-ray, and some Brainwave scan for epileptic action. It's just odd entering an area called Nuclear Sciences..
Nuke it!

oh ya i just remembered another thing about Star Wars 3.. I dunno if it's 'cuz i look at Fark.com's Photoshop contests too much but the Cliche'd 'it's a trap' phrase was used at least 3 times in the movie..

Man cleaning a revolver is hell! It's gotta be done though.. Today i shot a bit with Mr 10-7m.. he wanted some guidance and did pretty well on his own. Now it's all about the focus on the draw.. QuickDraw time.. The range people decided to do a practice test because all of a sudden a chief and a captain came to the range.. Odd to see command staff hang at the range..
Mr 10-7m and i went off to eat at Hungry Hunters and by the time i got home it was 2:50pm! lordy!

Fluffielady came home and we went to see Star Wars 3.. Sorry we're not harcore like Andy and his 1am viewing on opening day. But we got to see it on the DLP screen.. Mmm 3-channel DLP, yum..
So you see what happens to Anakan and what not. It's kinda weak how he goes to the dark side..
The dialogue was simple english and the lightsaber was too 'spinny'.
While viewing the credits i noticed a few names.. It seems that Bri and I have a hand in this movie. So i went to imdb.com and looked up the crew to see if they've been moonlighting in the movies. It seems that Capt'n D is Famous in Korea, Actually theres two of him! Bert's been working on cartoons. and Vicks has been.. well.. i remember when she wanted us to work on a calendar. J worked before our time, as a one shot deal. Sorry Matty, Carol, Paul, my brother, 10-8 and 10-7m.. i tried looking for yalls but no go. .=( Actually whats funny is the one person whos really been in a movie (fluffielady) isn't in there. boo!=(
Alright Bri, let's go work on these Harry Potter dealios.. Thats probably why hes been so 'busy' lately.. heh

Wee! the dell deal is back. good ol $750 off $1499. Dell even has a webpage for this now famous deal. This times only limitation is that there are select models, but you still could customize them.. This starts 6am tommorrow (tuesday) 10,000 uses..

Today i tried to run the lawn mower, but it sputtered and putted then died.. And that happened for a while so i gave up on that.

Helped paul move some stuff.
Evan's looking for a moto helmet, in order to obtain Paul's Moto.. Evan's gonna be Purple ranger! woo!

Oi, sorry for the double posting, but i just got back from visiting all my tech sites. Lots happened in 2 days..

Forget Plasma displays.. Samsung has came out with a 40" OLED monitor.. in the picture the girl shows how thick the TV set is.. 2.2cm! (a little under an inch thick). 1280 x 800 pixels and a contrast ratio of 5000:1.. OrganicLEDs are made of organic material that glows a certain color sandwiched inbetween an electrical current. 2 good things about OLEDs is.. 1) it's cheaper to produce, 2) it's ultra thin, 3) uses less power than a regular LCD, 4) doesn't need a backlight to reflect like a LCD, instead it emits light.. yum..

Vestax, one of many DJ equipment peoples is releasing a Vinyl burner.. thats right, screw CDR's and DVD-burners.. the VRX-2000 wax burner.. woohoo!

and since it's star wars season..
Try to not get into a dogfight with this car on the highways of the US. I wouldn't be surprised if it was in Fresno. Somehow theres alot of them SciFi Freaks over there.. ALOT!

Good ol' fresno..
Where the Men are men.. the women are men.. and the sheep run REAL fast..

Yesterday, headed over to the armpit of California.. Still felt and smelled like it, woo! mid to high 80's, its been a while since i felt bigtime heat, i still perfer 36 degree winds though.. The assembled surprise gang composed of familia from San mateo as well as from the McCloud Area (by Mt. Shasta) as well as the local peoples (still trapped). Andrew came in, and he knew that there were some peoples lying in wait, but then he noticed Fluffielady and me, as well as his parents and had to do a doubletake.. It was fun and a neat gathering.
Fluffielady had flashbacks and started a list of things to do/go/eat.. Well we only accomplished one, to eat at this ice cream shop in clovis which used to sell such flavors as Kahlua, and Jack Daniels. This time they didn't have such treats. =(
Anyhow we hung out yesterday at the Riverpark area. When fluffielady and i drove on Shaw to Blackstone it was like driving on Memory lane, literally.. Most things were the same as before, some businesses changed, some stayed the same.. As for the Riverpark, i remember when it was first built, with the roundabout that NOBODY knew how to handle, and it got sketchy sometimes seeing people not knowing how to manuever into one, or which direction they should go.. That roundabout is the 1st in the city, i think.. it seemed from the way they drove it. And nowadays nothing has changed, people still can't figure out how to enter / exit / merge.. hahaha how sad.. And as for the shops, Riverpark now has both sides of the giant street filled with stuff. ick.. Like college students we didn't get to sleep till 2am (!!!), yea scary huh?
Today we wake up at 10am, checked out of the hotel, and ate breakfast with Andrew and parents. Afterwards we wanted to go visit one of Fluffielady's bridesmaid, with her new baby boy, but she wasn't home. Actually once we got to the freeway, about 3-5minutes later, she called saying that she just got home.. DOH! The two caught up with each other over the phone, and we coulda stopped at the Gilroy outlets but wasn't feeling it, since we were just there a month ago.
Fluffielady finally found out that Shaw Blvd. is like one of those cheaply drawn cartoons, where the background repeats itself.. Finally she sees what i saw when i was there! Strip mall, with similar shops, gas stations, restaurants ... Repeat ... Repeat..
Oh ya, the one silly thing thats brand new is Fresno states new multiplex/coliseum. It's all about the sponsors and all that. 3com park, SBC park, all those big corporations that spend the money on renaming these things sound good. But hows about the Fresno State Save-Mart Center.. Dood.. I still don't understand how Save-Mart makes money in the first place.. Theres 30 of them everywhere you go, and nobody goes to them. How do they survive??

Just came back from a graduation that wasn't rehearsed. it's Sillymadness. Jenny, Evan's girlfriend, is done. Graduated from Microcellular Biology.. ahh yea, it reminds me of the days with Bert, Ann n Paul at Ned's bookstore, where 'i got USED at Ned's.' All them Bio 1a books.. oi
Silly thing about the graduation was that it started at 7pm. It was sunny and warm when it started. Then the question becomes 'are they gonna call each and every person?' that'll take at least 2.5hrs+. Well they decided to. Oh, before all that there was no rehearsal so the music begins, everybody cheers, the first of the peoples enter, then they just stand there. So for about 5 minutes people are cheering, but the graduates are just standing, in traffic.
After all that, comes the usual speeches.. Why in the world do they need to be those 30-minute almost-class-lectures? And it's usually the same, the speech begins, it's funny, then it goes off into some 'back in the day...' story or 'it's just like when...' lordy.
The dada speeches are over, the special students are recognized, then it's time for the individual walks. Now it's dark, about 8pm, and the head of the department gives every individual who walks a hug, a handshake, then a pic. By the time Jenny does her walk, everybody in front of her left into the crowds, or home.. heck after a bit we left. Didn't even get to move the tassle over or toss the cap.. by that time it was almost 10pm. It was only 2/3s done..

i do say though it's good to be asian. 'cuz there was someone named Hugh Moon Gus Kok Man.. Somehow i don't think that was the guys real name..

Tommorrow, oh yes, somehow i'm heading to fresno, for ANOTHER graduation.. gah!

Woo! Da Moto feels so responsive.. it purrs now, i don't think the mechanics lowered the idle rev but it seems like it. More quiet starting, but good power response, and handling is beautiful. Compared to the old tires theres no delay in turning. Next time i'll get the tires, chain and all that separately so the money pain isn't as sharp.

it was all in the wetness too..

Well the gang knows about me n my get-around-girl.. Shes sighted 2 more times.. First in Austrailia. And the other in Germany. Speaking of the german cats.. Theres now Mario Kart Microsizers! 'Uh, will this frequency go against my other microsizers??' heh Not again!!!

Ugh. lately i've been having this itch to play Magic: The Gathering.. Things are all different now. 8th edition and ALL my cards that i had in high school are now 'vintage' or 'legacy' legal.. Kinda like Type 1.. hahaha There are so many new cards that i've been checking out.. But none of them are as powerful as the ones i've played with / against. I guess they are trying to stop the 1-turn kill, which i've seen done two ways.. Death on the first turn.. haha

That doesn't look good


Thats quite a rip.
At first i thought it was cord or string of some sort. Then i thought it was like a last warning layer of plastic or something. Well it's cord. The final step towards a hole in the tire. eeks!

Sweet lordy.. Maintainence is crazy!

1400$! I had old tires but they weren't sound. and a chain that i won on ebay never arrived, so i'm getting a refund on that. If i'd gotten tires and a chain a bit at a time the cost of the whole bit wouldn't be so dramatic.. Cash money! The new tires are slick! Pirelli Diablo Corsa Front (128$), Diablo Rear ($134), Front and Rear Sprockets (100$(Sprockets! Welcom to Sprockets! I am dita!)) and a DID x-ring gold chain (150$). The usual other replacement parts Plus Labor Equals chingching! i asked if this was the norm.. it is, every 16k miles. lordy!
The new tires though are wicked. It 'drops' easier than my older tires on the turns, and i could feel the grip more engaging than usual.
hopefully next time would be in a 2 years. woo!
Fluffielady called in sick today. Shes been sick for a week.. =( poorpoor fluffielady.

I had several dreams including during nap time but all vanished from my mind the moment i want to recall them.
Tommorrow i'm finally bringing my moto in for it's 16k service with valve adjustment at 17.5k miles. These things are $$! The rear tire is about to go, i can feel it.. A while ago there was a different color showing under the center. Now theres something that looks like a ripple and you could see a layer of white rubber i'm guessing. At first i thought it was string, ala kevlar beading, the last layer before the hole but it wasn't that big. And normally moto tires last 5-8k miles. These puppies have been going for 13k.. Make it last baby! It's been 2 years since the motos been to Die Werkstatt. I called them up and it'll take a day.. i hope they don't take a month like how they did last time. Tuning, tuning and tuning, with all 3 shop peoples riding.. jeez!

I had this dream where i forgot my shirt for work. And i went to this supervisor and asked her for one. She said that she did have an extra. So off we go to look for this shirt. Eventually we find it, i put it on, then i realized it's not my size or that it's not meant for me.. Wassup with that?

Yesterdays word of the day is : Paraskevidekatriaphobia. Sorry i forgot to post, but then not much happened, except i made some pretty neato Chicken Penne with Alfredo Tomato Basil sauce.. yum..

Today was just soup and leftover pasta. We're also cleaning up the house. Found my lost Bach's Brandenburg concerto CD, sweet.. How long does one keep their bills / paystubs / bank statements .. etc? Time for the industrial shredder.. CleanClean.. oi!

Ahhh yea kinda neat going home, turning on the TV and finding the AZN network.. with a Chinese Couple behind a newsdesk speaking english with an english accent..
Asian girls with English accents are hot.

A coworker of mine was asking if i'm available to do the Muddy Buddy Ride & Run.. It's a 6 mile event where 2-person teams: one on bicycle and the other on foot, goes towards 5 obstacles. Then they switch off. At the end is some jimungus mud pool where you need to crawl through to the finish line.. Wicked.. Once you do something physical all of a sudden your some hardcore running-biking-power lifting machine.. oi! Anybody wanna join me in this muddy mess?

Should i... or should i not go for this.. I haven't been in mud since.... '98? It was a bicycle race at Alum Rock down by San Jose.. Stayed at Vicks' place.. It was knee deep mud action! yum!

Watched Once upon a time in China.. with Jet Li. It's an ok movie for the time it was made.

Also watched Phantom of the Opera.. With the sound system blasting. The vocals and music are so clear and crisp. It's beautiful..

Started watching this one anime called My HiME.. which is like these kids, who don't know it yet, supernatural power and skill. Also the main character is able to summon a dragon, which is odd.

Finished watching Neon Genesis Evangelion.. the ending is like typical japanese fasion. It stats going into the questions like.. 'what is the truth, what is perception, self-image' all that complex philosophical dada. It's slightly odd to see pre-teens powering gigantic robots already. It's even odder to see them try to figure out the meaning of life, self-worth, truth, and image at the age of 12.. Anyhow it ends lame, something to the effect of what is the meaning of life? it's whatever you want it to be.. the end.. oi..

In tech news: Toshiba in their fight for the next generation DVD format has made a 3-layer HD DVD holding 45GB.. thats more than one of my hard drives.. jeez!
And Fujitsu is making a palm sensor that reads the veins in your hands. it seems that everybody has a different 'vein-print' and this sensor doesn't require you to touch the pad. just leave your hand an inch or so above the sensor and it'll read your palm.. Does it tell the future? that'll be in the 2.0 version.. heh

Dreamtime..
i had a dream in which i was at work, but i had to deliever a bicycle to the hunters point area. I delievered it by riding over there then the scene changes and i'm in berkeley still in uniform. Ordering a bart ticket and a slice of pizza.. Thats all i remembered.. what does that dream say?

Today i gave it up.. it's been a while since i've done so. And if i don't do it once in a while i overload and get nosebleeds.. yep i gave blood, and i'm now using their new high-tech machine in which double the bloodcells are taken but in an amount for a single unit. So instead of going every 8 weeks for the bloodletting, now it's 16. so it's 4 times a year. i think i've given 12 units so far. Thats 1.5 gallons o' Blood!! Weee!

Happy mommies day!

Bah! No match today.. what is the world coming to?

It takes quite a bit of mental preparation for these rifle matches. Shooting is a 85% mental sport, for all you need to do is hit the middle, and the only thing that gets you there is by getting your brain to send a signal to the index finger..
Got home yesterday, dry fired a lil, got the gear all ready to go.
Today woke up, loaded the car, got the classical music going. Slowed the breathing, cleared the mind.. then my buddy calls up saying that he's at the range and nobodys there.. bah!
Well since i've crossed the bridge already, went to eat breakfast with him and eventually went back home.. wassup with dat? There wasn't much rain in the morning.

Got home, fluffielady and i went to see these cube-ish storage things at Things Organized in Hillsdale.. The ad showed them bits, but had no dimensions, well they're kinda small.. Went around looking for a console or a sideboard table to put your keys, letters, (more) junk when you enter / leave the house. But nope, nada. We wound our way to the REI by San carlos, they were having a sale but there wasn't anything i needed, well to stand in that long line that is.. i did see a nice titanium utinsil set (15$!!!) and folding chopsticks (24$!!!!!!). but i can hold out. They had a nifty cup and bowl that folds flat for easy storage and folds into the bowl or cup easy.. kinda nifty! kinda wierd. Thems for them extreme 2-month out into Kilimanjaro action (it's on my list of things to do in my lifetime). Then i realize, all these bay area people buying all these high-tech technical gear. do you really need a titanium spoon / fork for 15$ when you can bring plastic ones? And how long do these people go out on these excursions? Kinda like the whole SUV thing. Delilah's been through a whole lot more varied terrain than a few suv's that i know of. Delilah owns! I love that car..

Dream time! i dreamt me, my brother and 2 others were in this 4-man team where you run around s.f. on them treasure hunts. It was mad, people going all out to look for items here and there. All i remember is the hills, up, down, and all around. The only other detail that i remember was that i think it was all men, and it had something to do with the Man Show, which i've only seen in 5-10minute segments..

It seems at work, whenever i have a rifle match the next day i get held over for some dada crap. And when i do bring people to the hospital now it's these complicated 2-3 part runs. 1) Get him fixed, 2) talk to the emergency room Psych docs.. 3) shuffle him here / there /everywhere.. Whatever happened to the, go to the hospital, fix the dood(ette), go home.. i haven't done one of those in a while.

Watched Wicker Park: it's a cool movie, the timeline is twisted. It's a love movie, but it's complicated, so the fun part is trying to figure it all out. At first you think the main guy is kinda looney, then you see other things, and at the end of course everything sets itself straight..

Also watched part of Meet the Fockers.. It's ok, the first one was ok, so this one a touch lower in okness.

okness.. riight.. i think it's time to go nini..

Whelp the Pope's Ex-vehicle landed a hefty price of approx. $244k.. I'd put a supercharger + intercooler in that, a H&R Stage 2 coilovers, and some Volk racing rims on it..

Off to Olive Garden for my brothers birthday action + momma's dad dindins.. Fluffielady and i roamed around Stonestown first and at Bath and Body works it's all changed.. Now they sell all this high-end european made stuff that sounds european but it might not be. Anyhow i originally bought my first cosmetic product, a 40$ deal. i thought it was for dry skin, but i come to find it's for post-shave skinburn. It had macadamian nut oil, and other foofoo stuff.. it felt pretty good onto my dry cracked fingers. But after chilling at olive garden i realized i got the wrong thing. Went back and got Some cheaper foofoo Shea and Honey stuff.. At 21$ this thing is gonna last forever, since i use less than a dab..

Less-than-a-dab-will-do-you.. What is the world coming to? The people say that the stonestown Bath and Body works is their new flagship store, thats why all this high end dada, which comes to blingbling prices. an example is this cute goldfish in water in a plastic bag soap.. Kinda neat.. not worth 7.25 though.. and a Medium sized Mashed Potato Candle for 20$ i dunno about that either.
I haven't posted one of my "The world is coming to an end.. and i'll show you how.." theories, but here goes one:

Lately i've been noticing or been seeing certain vehicles that actually start traffic.. It's usually some old pick-up truck filled with junk. Or some raggy old van or car, in the left lane driving 45.. That person my friend IS traffic and will become a bigger critical mass as time continued. This morning i dodged one such junky van and noticed 1) theres nobody in front of me. and conversly 2) there was this mass of lights behind me.. All from one junky van on the left lane.. i hate those people, i really do.

Oh that comes to my theory that i haven't posted. I think traffic comes from Low-level employees.. Followers, who cannot lead. Since they aren't use to being in front of the pack, they slow down until they are comfortable with others in a group.. kinda like a herd of animals. Only then will they go at a decent speed. But the effect of that is a mass of vehicles, then emptieness and another pack of vehicles. I always find it odd that i'm going from one pack of cars to the next and being in the middle of the emptieness, where i'm free to do whatever and to see both in front and behind the mass in which people won't pass or doesn't want to be passed. Lamers, and wangers!
What ever happened to the left lane as the passing lane and slower traffic staying to the right? What ever happened to being aware of your surroundings but you can't see around you if your this small dood(ette) in a lifted SUV..
1)Not being aware and 2)Shifting the blame to something other than yourself will destroy this world. I can see it already happening. You know that saying 'nice guys finish last'. It's true.
Say your on a 3-laned highway, and theres signs saying merge left, lane ending. Most nice people would have changed lanes usually when they see the sign. What does this cause? More cars on the 2 left lanes and a empty merge lane. What do people do nowadays? ride on the merge lane until the end of ends and then fit your ultra big SUV in. The result? the nice guy is behind the punk cutting you, he now has the 10 foot advantage.. he's 10 feet in the lead in front of you. I'm guessing thats why all these shooting rampages are starting in LA.. The escalation from Hand gestures to projectile weapons. Of course it's never their fault, and who pays? we do..

What i really wanna see is the 'Group A' 4A-GE toyota engine in a corolla.. can you say 240hp in a 1.8liter v4 engine?

Mass of humanity!

My goodness my CALVES are KiLLiNG ME! Don't need no Calf implants here! So my gun-ho coworkers wanted to bust this Jamba Juice Wildflower Triathlon in the relay action. Mr. 10-8 swims for almost 1 mile, i bike for 24, and Liza our Psych Tech runs for 6.2.. My goal was to beat ONE team, may they be 80-year old, 1-legged folk, it doesn't matter. We did alright Ranked 81 out of 126 teams overall and 34 out of 55 in the Mixed Relay class. Sweet.. i wish i did better, my left calf was beyond cramping it was clutching tight at about 10mile mark, and at the 15 the right calf did the same. It was killer! But the gradiations weren't that bad. The Hickey Slope i practiced on helped BUNCHES. if you could do that, you could do anything. Also having only one front chainring sorta kept me going. i was felling crampy since mile 15.. i didn't know if i was going to make it. But downhills are my speciality and i was owning it. It feels like a motorcycle!

Yesterday we get to Lake San Antonio, about 3-3.5hr drive, it's kinda pretty the area. Not too far, the camp site was 'go where you like, pitch your tent wherever'. Which was kinda cool, but there was no showers in the overflow camping area that we were at. *ick* Setup camp and met up with Liza's Roomie and their crew. I brought all the camp stuff but none of us brought foodies, thank goodness for The Roomies and crew for bringing foods.
Mental Note: Next time bring a flashlight / headlight and FOOD!

Overall the experience was cool, i wouldn't be able to do a full triathlon, they have mini triathlons (called Sprints) but swimming isn't my thing. And just doing the bicycle part sorta whooped me. Didn't get many pics, and they were all through my cellphone. I was playing the mp3's on my phone through the loudspeaker for my whole 1 hour, 40-minutes. Kinda cool.
man i'm tired.. my calves! tommorrow i don't even wanna know.
