Warning: Be very careful when mixing Halo halo and Coffee icecreams Hm...decided to grab some icecream after dinner last night. Yes, it was indeed too cold to eat icecream as I would soon realize. Anywayz, my number one dork had a scoop of halohalo icecream while i had a scoop of the kona coffee. We discovered that one must clear their palate before taking a bite of the other. It tastes...well... like something that was concocted on Fear Factor. Nasty. Bleh.

Face Your Fear So, this weekend they had Fear Factor try outs at the Metreon. I told my boss to go do it, and eat a bug for me. He decided to take his gf up to Napa instead. However, I have decided that he doesn't like me very much -- he wants to do the Eco Challenge. And wants me and my coworker to do it with him. A teambuilding experience, he calls it. Murder, I call it. I had to doublecheck with him that he had passed a sanity test. Have you seen how people's feets are by the 7th day??? Dayam!! Talk about Hammer-Time. I am not going to be trudging around in wet socks - with pebbles in my shoes. I'd do the mountain biking part - and the climbing and repelling - and the canoeing - but...I just don't think I'd make it to the end. Sorry, boss.

Wall to Wall Cows It's been forever since I've done the L.A. roadtrip -- however, I felt the need to put the rubber to the road this weekend. My friends' team was in the state championship for the N(ikkei) A(thletic) U(nion), so I decided to drive down with a couple of the guys on Saturay and come back on Sunday. Wow, what a whirlwind trip. We made it down there in 5 and back in 5 and a half. Not bad at all. Of course when we passed by Coalinga, we moo'd at the cows -- and commiserated with them -- it would suck to be back to back with other cows - no leg stretching room - no breathing room -- other cows all up in your bidness. ANYWAYS... While we were down there, we hit the Third Street Promenade for dinner. The street performers were so-so. Caught a couple of breakdancing crews. Now THAT was good entertainment. Our guys lost on Sunday, so it was a rather subdued ride back home. Now back up north, tis time to get back to the grind.
