4 day weekend

Thursday, October 13, 2005

 

Yesterday was a bad time to ask me how I was b/c I was telling everyone I had a 4-day weekend, and none of it was spent going to the dentist. Not that I mind the dentist, much, but I actually, truly have 4 free days. Which meant I kept thinking yesterday was Thursday and wondering why Smackdown wasn't on. And which meant I missed Good Eats. It's still fun to watch even if it's been reruns lately.

Started watching Peacemaker Kurogane, which I borrowed from T. Unfortunately b/c I don't know much about the Shinsengumi, except what I'm learning from reading Kaze Hikaru in Shojo Beat and what's mentioned in Rurouni Kenshin, it's a little hard to follow the political foreshadowing. Although not as hard as Samurai Deeper Kyo. You need to know Japanese history to follow that one well. Anyways, being a seiyuu geek, I had to look to see who the seiyuus were (cause I can't read kanji or katakana) and it turns out Tatsunosuke has the same seiyuu as Takeshi/Brock from Pokemon. Which was kinda a surprise b/c when I heard Takeshi (finally found some Japanese Pokemon eps), he really does sound like a 12 year old, whereas in the dubbed version he sounds like 16-18 yrs old. But Yuji Ueda did a great job, and I feel so sorry for him. Love his apologies. Speaking of anime borrowed from T, also got part of Kyo Kara Maoh and my fav char in that is Gwendal b/c he knits and likes cute things. Don't get to see much knitting any TV shows, so it's cool to have a major character who does it.

Okay, that was wierd w/ the BoogeyMan on Smackdown. He's got caps on his teeth so it looks like he's missing his incisors. Although that wasn't quite the thought I had when I was looking at his teeth. More something like what the wind does and what work is otherwise known as. :P

Kleenex toilet paper isn't very good. For one thing, in the 24 roll pk that I bought, the toilet paper was also wrapped inside in 4 pks. That's a waste. And although the paper is fairly soft, it's easily shredded which is icky when you're doing the #2. And you have to use lots more tissue for #1 or it soaks thru. Purex is much better for value. But best so far is Charmin b/c it's soft, strong and absorbs well w/o soaking thru. I use Charmin for blowing my nose cause it's much softer than facial tissue (even Puffs), more cost effective (tissue is about $0.006/sheet vs. $0.001/sheet and since I use 3 sheets for 1 blow, it's at half the price of facial tissue), and easier to tear into little plugs for those annoying drips that never stop. Although I understand there's a Cashmere and that's a 3-ply toilet paper. I wonder what it's like? Yah, there was an article in the paper a couple weeks ago about how Canadians are more interested in luxurious toilet paper than other countries. But it's very important! It's what I'd take to the desert island. That's probably more of an analysis of toilet paper than anyone really wants to know. Heh.

My stupid dad is bitching at me for getting up at 3:00p on my days off and says I'm lazy. Just b/c he doesn't go to bed at 7:00a, and I actually got up at 2:00p and made a real lunch (he just made some noodles and threw in some meatballs, so I added spinach, mushrooms, garlic and onion powder and paprika to the soup). And the only person who's lazy is him b/c all he does all day is watch tv, read some newspaper and spends maybe 1/2 hr to make food for lunch and supper. Breakfast usually consists of something bought like poundcake, strudel or nikuman or sunny side up eggs. (that's separately) Usually I eat dinner leftovers for breakfast, or I have to try and whip something up to get a real breakfast. Yes, I hunt for my meals in the fridge, and that's why I spent $40 on groceries for myself. Considering I sliced up a 2kg of ham so I'd have some meat that I could quickly defrost, or I'll just make my own dinner when I get home after work b/c whatever left on the table is bleh... Yeah I think deserve to sit in front of my TV and watch dvds or play games.

Why was Cowboy Bob Orton holding Eddie's leg up while Randy was beating on him? It just looked stupid. Oooooo, Eddie and Batista vs. the Ortons. Boy, I hope Cowboy gets his cast back b/c he's going to need it. Kinda strange that so many alumni have come back. Wonder what's going on behind the scenes? Is it b/c Hogan came back? There's a geezer that should just stick to his reality show. Meh, never liked Hogan. Shawn can still perform at least, and actually pull off all the same crazy stunts he used to do.
