Ahoy there everyone;
Naota is back from my tryptophan filled Holiday and I thought I would share my experiences.
First of all today was Thanksgiving. I went out early today to finish some last minute grocery shopping and I some house wares. After about an hour or so out and about with my mom, we returned home and continued our holiday preparation. While my mom was cooking, I was putting up some new draperies in the living room and cleaning the house. I did the sweeping, moping and cleaning.
After Cleaning my Dad, Mom and I sat down to a nice Thanksgiving dinner around 3:30PM. We had Turkey, Stuffed Mushrooms, Italian Fried Rice Balls, home made cranberry sauce, carrots, gravy, rolls and sweet potatoes. I was stuffed after a few plates of food. After dinner was done and the kitchen was cleaned, I cooked my Taiyaki.
The Taiyaki came out very good. I have the proper batter recipe I have perfected my technique. Now the original taiyaki’s I made last night came out good, but the batter was a bit too thick and lacked flavour. But overall that first batch was good and it was gone quickly. Since today was the holiday and time was short, I used a standard pancake batter. That saved time and a single batch yields around 10-12 taiyaki depending how thick the batter is.
There was 2 batches I made today. The first batch was made for my upstairs neighbours and the second batch was for my family. Everyone liked the desert and I know I will be making more. Looks like when I get paid I will be ordering more Koshian Sweetened Red Bean Paste for the taiyaki.
After the cooking, my nieces, nephew and family came over. We had a good time. We played Rockband for the wii. I set up the disco lights, laser, black light and the Fog machine up in my room. We had a nice concert for about 3 hours of game play. After playing rock band, we played super Mario brothers for the wii. That game is fun and it reminds me of the original game mixed with Super Mario Brothers 3 elements. Overall the gaming was fun.
Once the festivities were over, I dropped my Sister in Law and the kids back at their house and now I am resting. Today was busy. I am really tired. It is now time for me to sleep. Good night everyone. I hope you all enjoyed your holiday.
It is now a bit after 1:00 am on Friday morning. My weekend is now officially over. I will be going to bed soon and I will be going to work later today. My weekend wasn’t that bad for the most part. I did enjoy myself and it had its rough parts, but overall I give it 3.5 stars out of 5. And now I give you a recap of my weekend.
On Tuesday night after work, I picked up Moroii for our weekly hangout and debauchery. When we got back to my place we played video games, watched tv and bullshitted around until 3 am. Moroii passed out and I did the same shortly afterwords.
At 7 am my mom woke me up because she was supposed to have her car fixed by a local repair shop (I let Moroii sleep). I told my mom the part was only 75 bucks and I could easily replace it. After she debated on it, We went to autozone and picked up the ignition coil. We drove back to my house and I started to work on the car. I fixed it within about 15 minutes. Once the part was replaced I started the car and it started right away and it works like a charm. next I cleaned up the tools, threw away the broke car part and went to breakfast with my mom at the New Windsor Coach Dinner.
After Breakfast, we headed back home. Moroii was up and my mom went to go to work for a bit. At this point in time, Moroii and I waited for AnimeWolfWarrior. She asked me and him to accompany her to the Pallisades mall to drop off an APPLE I-MAC computer to the Apple Store to get repaired.
(Side note- Moroii and I were supposed to Paint the house, We had intentions on painting when coming back.)
A brief amount of time past and she arrived at which time we left to the mall. A short drive later we were at the mall dropping the Mac off to be repaired and to walk around the mall for while. We stopped at stores to window shop and look around. I say we were there for about 2 hours or so enjoying the time.
After that we left and AnimeWolfWarrior drove Moroii and I back to my place. We departed and went back to my house. Moroii Decided to take a nap and I was trying to. I still had a lot going on in my head from a conversation I had on my phone using MSN Messenger with Drakenfyer75. I was having a hard time trying to sleep and with the constant interruptions from my mom and dad and random callers, I was getting very angry and my day was going very bad.
Around 5:30 pm, we had a nice steak dinner in which my mom had prepared. It was nice. We had steak, rice, and carrots. After Dinner I had to go with my mom to drop off my brothers van at his house. We didn’t need the van anymore because I fixed my moms car.
At this point in time I was very upset. I was getting very angry. I just wanted to enjoy time hanging out with my buddy. We got back to the house, Moroii was on my bed reading a book and watching me play ghostbusters the game. My mom yells at me and asks me to check her cable box. After running a quick diagnostic, the box was dead. I called our cable provider aka my employer and did some additional troubleshooting to see if a hit would work. It didn’t so my moms cable box was bad so now this means i have to get this box replaced the next day.
After that fiasco, I got back to my business in trying to beat this game. Well, After about 2 or more hours I beat the game with moroii’s help. After beating the game. We played 3 or 4 games of Magic. I think he won 2 and I won 2 or something along those lines. I was having a good time playing games, I wasn’t really keeping track.
Next, we went to the corner store for some munchies, like we did a couple times earlier and came back two do some random stuff on the inter-webs. At 2 am, we decided to pass out since it was a very long and tiring day. I know for me it was especially when I kept getting yelled out and getting someone mad.
On Thursday, we woke up around 11:30ish. I got the cable boxes ready and then my Moroii, my mom and myself went to drop Moroii off at work. After doing so I dropped my cable boxes off at the local payment center so that I could exchange them. I was able to get 3 new HD Boxes and remotes so that we can have some good entertainment at home.
After exchanging the boxes, my mom and I had some lunch at Panera Bread and stopped at Michaels Crafts. Next we Went to Target to get some housewares and then headed home. Once I got home, I hooked the first cable box up and it worked like a charm and did the rest with the other 2. I also got my mask in for the Earls cosplay.
I then decided to relax for a while and watch some tv. My mom ordered some Chinese food for dinner and then I carried on within my business. I decided I would try to Get my Web cam working so I created a new Virtual Machine on my PC since My Web cam doesn’t have native vista drivers so I had to do this a fix. When I got that working, My Mic didn’t want to work after toiling for around for a while. I was able to get one of my USB Rock Band (WII) mic to work on my pc.
Once that was working Dekkard4 and I played Mario Kart wii and chatted for a while until midnight. When I got off my pc and watched more tv. Then Decided to write this entry. But now it is 15 to 2am. I am guessing it is time for me to leave since I am super tired and my brain still hurts.
Goodnight.
I had a great day on Wednesday. I picked my friend Lord Moroii up at his house to spend the night so that we could have a game day. After coming home from work at 2 AM we watched Bio-Dome. Bio-Dome was a great movie. Moroii and I are like the main Characters Bud and Doyle. Once the movie was done and the laughs were over. Went to sleep. At 11 am we woke up and left to get Dekkard. Once Dekkard was picked up we stopped by the orchard and got some fruit. Next, we stopped at the local Hess station, picked up some Mountain Dew Game Fuel and proceeded to stop by Walmart to get some Mac and Cheeze.
We left Walmart then proceeded to go back to my houes. There, we played video games on the wii such as mario kart and star-wars forced unleased. As we farted around while playing games we had the mac and cheeze and some bbq. In addition to the wii games, we played an epic mech warriors mini game and a decent magic game. AT 9 pm we left to take Dekkard home. After dropping Dekkard off, Moroii and I stoped Shop Rite for some cat food then drove to his house so that I could drop him off at home. Next, I drove home. After arriving at home, I watched tv and just farted around on the internet.
Today was a great day. It was a good day to start my mini 5 day vacation. I hope the rest of the days off will go well.
