70th post

it's like i'm just sayin'.




winter needs to come asap. i'm not burning out, i promise you that. i know what it's like to burn out on work and school and i'm not there yet. no sharp chest pains. no random crying spells. i guess i am really just excited for the new year. i need to start fresh.

i guess things are just kind of dragging along at this point. a ton of papers, finals, more hours at work. i just feel like there aren't enough hours in the day and i've become increasingly sleep deprived. oh, and pooky (my cat) has been ill as of late. been in a constant state of worry and depression... i don't know what i'd do if he were to pass.

tomorrow i'm going to go see a friend's band playing. hopefully a few beers will help me relax just in time for the thanksgiving weekend.




i need more cold weather so i have more excuses to eat ramen. like this stuff right here... goma tei. i'm sure if you read my yelp review where i wrote something less than nice. but a few weeks ago i went there (by myself! *pats self on back*) and it wasn't so bad. meh. inconsistency isn't a good thing.

i am sweaty

well, i should say that i was sweaty. today was a horrendously hot day and i'm so glad that it's finally over.

where to begin? today was my day off but i had a work meeting of sorts. so i sat and ate all morning long and rode my bike into waikiki around 3pm. i have never felt so disgusted with myself in my entire life. i hate hawaii this time of year; the humidity is killing me.

the meeting, incidentally, was in the DFS Starbucks lounge area. if you're familiar, it's an outdoor seating area. so around 330pm the sun is just hanging over the royal hawaiian shopping center, basically means just glaring over the building and into the starbucks courtyard. the umbrellas did nothing, and even if they had provided shade it wouldn't have mattered. so humid.

i trekked from there to the neil blaisdell center, where there was the first annual (perhaps, might be canceled) sci-fi convention. i can't remember the official title but none the less, for the $15 i paid i was incredibly let down. the only saving grace was the gaming sections, but those were already filled with people and the only game we were able to play was rock band. hmph.

what i DID get out of the thing was this really funny pin of LOLface. covering my face because i'm not wearing make up, hah.



anyway. speaking of nerdiness, i've been trying to keep myself in check but have sunk farther over the last week. my friends have introduced me to neil patrick harris' "dr. horrible's sing along blog." it's pretty amazing. oh, and i've been watching The Guild non stop.



i guess i'm pretty attached to the show because i was in a guild and totally had a life like that girl codex some five years ago.



that's a screenshot of me getting magebombed in this MMO i used to play called Tibia. old me. hah. that particular photo is the reason i quit back in 2006. oh, and because i had a boyfriend and he was getting mad that i was ditching him to play video games. whatever.

anyway to wrap this post up, i need to stop playing so many games? or no, maybe just stop talking about them so much. yup.

side note: in my screenshot note the klegs, b robe, c shield, plat ammy and boh combo. i was rocking an amazing set in '06 for a druid. hah!

sweet.

so i have a yelp...

http://needfoods.yelp.com/

most of my reviews are dated. i hardly get on yelp except when i'm angry or drunk (which kind of goes hand in hand, i know). i'll try and write reviews more often. i should also work on jazzing it up-- most are so dull. but most yelpers seem to overkill on their reviews. personally, i just want to know 1) what you ate, 2) how did it taste, 3) how was the service, 4) is it worth it? and it seems like the ones that get tons of "compliments" or "cool" ratings are reviews that are ridiculously long and elaborate analogies to some popular movie or song or whatever. hardly mention what exactly happened at the restaurant.

other than that, i guess my friend juvana wants me to make black sugar cinnamon buns and i have no idea how. mostly because the black sugar i have at home is block like. asian market adventure soon to find some that is actually edible!

man...

this video just broke my american heart, hahaha.
