So it's Friday night, alotta people are probably out partying, but I'm just chillin' at home cuz I have work at 7AM. I don't really mind cuz I'm used to it though...I'm not really the partying type anyways. Maybe once in a while. I'd rather just be in the comfort of my home, surf the net, and play video games...
Oh, I finally got my S13's fog lights working. Not bad at all for Walmart fog lights, huh? =P HIDs and yellow fog lights...not a bad combination!
For those who didn't already know, the USPS is coming out with The Simpsons stamps on May 7th. Go pre-order yours today! I pre-ordered those, and plus a framed art collectible of the stamps too!
I've been looking around for a new belt lately, and I came across this one that I had to have! Isn't it hella sick!
*yawn* I'm tired, so I'ma finish watching Slumdog Millionaire, then hit the hay. Night people!
Every since 1989, I've been a HUGE fan of The Simpsons. It's the only show that I used to watch when I was a little kit and STILL watch up to this date. Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, Pokemon...it all gets kinda old and you eventually grow out of it, but there's something about The Simpsons that makes it one of the longest running cartoons of all time! As far as I can remember, whenever there would be a new Simpsons episode on Sundays, I would make sure that I was in front of the TV watching that new episode, otherwise I'll have somebody record it for me. Thankfully, now if I miss an episode, I can always watch it online, but I'd rather still watch it the day it comes out.
I just added a couple new cabinets (painted baby blue, of course) to my room and I put up a little Simpsons shrine there. Like it?
I also have a few posters too! (There's still a few I haven't put up yet.)
I also have the COMPLETE collection of the KidRobot Simpsons, but I think it looks better next to my bed.
That collection alone cost me over $400! It's okay...it was well worth it. I hope they come out with a series 2!
So Fanime isn't until the end of May, but it's better to get a head start, especially since my costume isn't all that easy to make from scratch (thankfully, there are tutorials though). So yesterday, me and Elisa went to Haight to look for some platform boots for me. Pyramid Head in the movie was wearing like 12 inch platforms, so I wanted to copy. I'm already 6'1", adding the helmet would make me about 7 feet tall. Then I'm gunna try and get 12 inch platforms so I can be around 8 feet tall! I wanna make people's jaws drop when they see my costume!
We then went to my work (FedEx) and got a huge piece of unbent cardboard. Although it may not look like that much work, I did spend a lot of time on this last night...with the hardest part to come. Well, here's what I got so far:
The next step is probably gunna be the hardest part of the costume. I have to glue the triangle pieces onto a hard hat, and it HAS TO BE PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL! It's gunna take a while...I'll be sure to post up pictures of it once I get the base of the Pyramid Head helmet done.
I dunno how many people watch Hong Kong movies, but there's a few that I really like. They're funny, romantic comedies with a cute ending and all that...kinda girly, but I like it! =P This past week, I showed Elisa "Love On a Diet" with Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng. I thought I'd share it with everybody since it's just a good movie!
Sammi Cheng plays Mimi Mo, a young exchange student to Japan who met and fell in love with a pianist, Kurokawa. Kurokawa eventually leaves to study music in the US and returns to Japan as a famous musician. Meanwhile, Mimi has dealt with her depression by eating and weights over 300lbs and Kurokawa doesn’t recognize her. Mimi eventually meets Fatty (Andy Lau) who helps her lose the weight so she can fulfill her promise of meeting Kurokawa made 10 years earlier. But they fall in love...
You need to download ALL the parts and join them together with HJ Split.
So last week, there was a comic book convention, WonderCon, at Moscone Center. I kinda wanted to go, but then my co-worker told me about Fanime, a Japanese anime/manga convention. All of a sudden, I lost interest in WonderCon. I looked up pictures of Fanime and it seems like a big portion of the people that attend dress up in cosplay. Me and Elisa have been wanting to dress up as Silent Hill characters, so finally here's our chance! I'm going to go as Pyramid Head and Elisa's gunna dress up as the nurse. We're gunna make our own costumes, so I'm trying to get a head start, especially since my costume (mainly my helmet) is kinda complicated to make.
This a what Pyramid Head looks like (for those who don't already know):
And here's a picture of the nurse from Silent Hill:
Fanime is not until the end of May, but I wanna get a big head start just in case I run into some problems making my costume. I already got some cardboard for the helmet and cut out some triangles. I need to buy a glue gun and a few other things, but I'm gunna need a big-ass piece of cardboard for my sword. I actually found a big piece at work today, but it was soooo big, that I don't think I could possibly fit it in my car. I'm gunna make the Great Knife 6 feet long, but the tip of the handle to the tip of the blade. I also need platforms to make me look huge, preferably some 12 inch platforms or something. I'll post up pictures later of my costume in the making.
Anyways, I'ma finish up my fried rice, play a little bit of CoD (double-point weekend!) and hit the hay. Gotta be at work at 7am.
Elisa had to work today, and I usually hang out with her on Sundays, so I had to find something to do. This past Friday, I finally got my Eclipse's registration unsuspended. So I finally get to start driving it more often again. It's been 3 years since I've actually driven it frequently. I wanted to enjoy my car today, so I went cruising around the Sunset, Ocean beach, and Golden Gate Park. I brought my camera that Elisa bought for me for Christmas and took pictures wherever I thought had a nice background. God, I love my car...

Christmas couldn't be enjoy to it's fullest this year...because Elisa's dog, Bo-Bo was hit by a car. We rushed her to the emergency vet, but it was too late. I love dogs, but don't want one for a LONG time because my last 2 dogs also got hit by a car. It's too heartbreaking and sometimes, it's just so hard to keep the dogs from running out of the house. So no dogs for me for A WHILE. You grow so attached to them, as if they were your kids.
Rest in peace, Bo-Bo...you will always have a place in my heart...
Isn't it hilarious when you watch infomercials and they make the most basic things look so damn complicated?! Ha ha ha...and it's not intended to be funny either! I guess they'll do anything just to sell their product. Here's the commercial I just saw:
That's just a backwards robe!!! And pay attention at 1:04 to 1:06...they're actually wearing in public! LOL who the hell would wear THAT in public?! They might as well make it white and have pointy hats while they're at it. Here's another one:
Who actually pours pasta like the beginning of the video? They make it seem like pouring out the water is sooooo friggin' hard! Not only do they make something simple look so difficult to do, but they hella over exaggerate!
I hope ya'll had a fun and safe Halloween! I sure had a great 23rd birthday! I started off the day by going out with my family to eat @ Moonstar for lunch. We hardly get to go out and eat as a family, so this meant a lot to me, especially because my grandma got to come along as well.
No joke, my grandma sneaks alcohol EVERYWHERE we eat! She moved back to my house 2 weeks ago and almost finished the whole bottle of Hennessy...by herself! That's a lot, especially for being 94 years old!
Then I just kicked back with my lil bro until it was time to meet up Elisa and take her cousins trick-or-treating. Nikki wanted to be a zombie this year, so here is the end result:
I liked last year's costume better though...
We even took Mariel trick-or-treating for the first time! Isn't she cute?!
We took them to Walgreens so Elisa's co-workers could see their costumes. Then we took them to Stonestown to do a little trick-or-treating, but I guess we were a little late because everybody was out of candy! So we headed over to St. Francis Woods (the rich neighborhood) and hunted for candy over there.
After trick-or-treating, we took the kids back home and I waited on a couple friends. We were going to a couple clubs (costume party, of course!) in downtown Frisco. I dressed up as a Jabbawockee (which Elisa claims isn't a costume, but people liked it!). The clubs were pretty crackin', alotta creativity in there! My friends dressed up as a cowboy and cowgirl! =P
It was a looooong night and didn't get home until 4AM. The following day, I had a small little get together for dinner with some close friends (A LOT of people couldn't make it).
I told those two that if they didn't know what to get me for my birthday, just to get me anything that had to do with The Simpsons. LOL so here's their "joke" present:
A friggin' Jessica Simpson CD and OJ Simpson book! Hahaha...those bastards...nah, but they actually got me a Simpsons DVD, a Simpsons series 10, and Simpsons poster book.
Here's another one of my close homeboys I met in high school and his girlfriend:
And last, but not least, me and Elisa:
And that concludes my birthday weekend...me and Elisa were supposed to go get my ear pierced and her cartilage pierced, but she left her ATM card at dinner, so we had to pick it up the next day...BUT being a lounge, they didn't open until 6PM! We're going next week, so I'll blog more later. Peace out! =P
Halloween is just around the corner, and I'm turning 23 this year. I should be graduated from college with my bachelor's already, but I'm way behind in school. The first few semester straight outta high school, I fucked up BAD. The past year, I've really put my school shit back on track and pushing myself harder and harder to graduate. I guess first things first, I gotta get outta community college. I'm still at Skyline, but applied for SFSU already. I have an appointment with my counselor this Wednesday about any final things I need to get ready before I transfer. I'm shooting for Summer '09. I'm finishing up the lower division Business classes at Skyline so when I transfer, I don't have to worry about the lower division Business core classes and just focus on the upper division. If I push myself hard enough, I'll be done with school in roughly 2 and a half years. I gotta admit that school is getting stressful and I'm really trying hard, so my grades have significantly improved.
Anyways, on a more positive note, my birthday is coming up and this year, I'm excited about buying myself a Xbox 360. I've been wanting one for the longest time, but didn't wanna spend that much money on it. Luckily the wait was definitely worth it cuz they dropped the price $100 for the 60gb! There's soooo many games I want to get for it, but I'll get a couple at a time. But I gotta make sure I'm done with my homework and all the other school shit before I even turn it on though. I'm planning to get Forza 2 and Dead Rising for the first games. Gamestop is offering a bundle with Kung Fu Panda and LEGO Indiana Jones. I'm not too excited about those games, but they ain't worth much so I might as well keep them, rather than sell them. And I'm gunna reserve Left 4 Dead cuz I love zombie games, and this game looks hella good!
I guess that's enough for now, I'm trying to relax for the rest of the night (by playing more videogames). I called off work today cuz I felt dizzy all day. It felt like I was drunk, but of course I didn't drink. I hate calling off work actually, but I did accumulated a good amount of sick days. Anyways, back to Mario Galaxy!
