Oyster Pancakes lose 2-1 in a heartbreaker
Posted March 10, 2009
Well, it was tough loss last night in roller hockey. we lost 2-1 to the Annihilators. They scored with about 30 seconds left in the game. In our league, they don’t go into overtime or shootouts during the regular season. All I have to say is, even though we lost, that was probably one of the most fun games I’ve ever played in. Basically, there was no score until the last few minutes of the game. I think we’re really coming together as a team. There’s always next Monday.
the Great Park Balloon – grounded today
Posted March 5, 2009
Every time I come home from work I always see this huge orange balloon floating in the air. Of course, it’s the Great Park Balloon just down the street from my house. I attempted to go on it a few times but I’ve gone when it was raining or too windy. Today was no exception. Grounded due to some wind. I decided not to wait to see if the winds calm down. I did run into Phoebe and little Zoe and they decided to wait a little. Hopefully they had a chance to go on. Of course, my main reason is not to go on some ride but to get some pictures of the balloon and high up from the balloon. Well, perhaps another week. I saw some clouds so of course I had to take some pictures HDR style.

Just a little rant. I started my blog for a number of reasons. One of them of course was out of pure boredom. Another reason of course was so I could at the end of the year recall what I was thinking and what I had done in the past year. A secondary reason was just as an experiment, both in this social networking world and just to view the behavior of web users. The other day I was looking at my stats and I almost fell off my chair when I saw someone was still using Internet Explorer 5. It was still only 4 visits, but man… come on. Upgrade your browser. 🙂
Sky-high costs to use a toilet?
Posted March 4, 2009
When I was in Europe, one of the things we discovered is really cheap, budget airlines such as Ryan Air. I think it came out to like $40 to fly from London to Dublin. Talking about trying to nickel and dime everyone, Ryan Air is thinking about charging for the use of toilets. All I have to say is, this better not be a trend for the industry.
Good times in LA
Posted March 1, 2009
I had a good time hanging out with some of the old USC team gang. A few of us went to go visit Justin near UCLA. Not much to say but just good times, good fellowship, lots of fun. We went to Amandine Patissiere for some coffee and dessert, then back to Justin’s place where he cooked for us a feast.
It’s morphin time

Found this… Made this a while ago when I was in college. Yes, I was a little bored. After I did this, Mark asked me to do one for his wedding. Don’t worry Mark and Elenore, I won’t post it. 🙂

This guy gets better gas mileage than I do. I drive a Prius too and he drives an Accord. Let me just say… a little excessive but still some lessons to learn.
