I’m sure you’re tired of hearing about Japanese Dramas but…

I’m not! :)

Ok ok, I started watching this one show, Strawberry on the Shortcake. At first I was like, hmm. Rather odd title. But it turned out to be pretty good! Amazing too, because the title of the show seems like it’s mentioned very little, but the whole idea of the Strawberry on the Shortcake is what the show is about. (At least I think so; and yes, I will explain it now.)

Basically, the question is, you have a shortcake and there’s one strawberry on top of it. How do you eat it? Do you eat the strawberry first because you like it? Or do you instead save it for last because you like it?

At first it seems like a trivial question. But remember, nothing is Really trivial. It’s a rather interesting question if you think about it. If you Really liked strawberries, why wouldn’t you eat it first? But why wouldn’t you save it for last? Perhaps if you saved it for last, the strawberry would taste better because of the anticipation of eating it. They both Really have a pro and con. Just thought that kinda interesting. Do you seize the day? Or do you wait and enjoy the day even more? I suppose it could be viewed either way.

And of course, the million dollar question is what would I do? Well of course I would save the strawberry for last. It Really does taste better that way. :)

How would you eat it?

Friday Five

When was the last time you…

  1. …sent a handwritten letter? It’s been so long, I honestly couldn’t tell you the last time.
  2. …baked something from scratch or made something by hand? Hmm. Haven’t done any baking in a while. But I cook stuff all the time. :)
  3. …camped in a tent? Hmm..The Omaha trip. When was that?
  4. …volunteered your time to church, school, or community? Hmm… I honestly can’t remember the last time I did that!
  5. …helped a stranger? Hmm…I know I have recently, but nothing to the scope of “Pay it Forward”. :)

My sources tell me…

That something like this will be arriving in the mail for me. I’m so excited! :) *waku waku* :)

Now I just have to figure out what kind of accessories I want to get for it. :) I’m getting the 800Mhz version, with a 30gig HD instead of the 60gig, trading out the size of that for an extra battery and extra AC adapter.

Hmm. I think I’m going to have to clear out my desk a bit. And looks like I’ll be setting up the webcam again. The powercam :)

Volkswagon Jetta CM

That same commercial showed up again where that guy is driving through the countryside in his Jetta, only to come to the church as the priest says “Speak now or forever hold your peace.” I guess there is no “part 2” to that commercial. I guess I have to make up my own ending. *sigh*

This -or- That?

  1. Spam…the lunch meat. Yes or no? Um. No thanks.
  2. The traffic light is green as you approach, but by the time you get there, it has turned yellow. Stop or go-go-go? If I’m near the line, then well yeah I’ll go, can’t stop in time!
  3. You are taking a trip…you have to decide whether to fly or take some sort of ground transportation. High or low? Depends on the trip, I’ll probably drive if I can though. :)
  4. Someone asks you a question about why something is, and you don’t know the answer. Try to find out *Why* or just say *I don’t know*? Don’t know, but I can find out. :)
  5. You are at the mall, and you spot someone who tortured you when you were in high school. Hello or goodbye? Hello, gots to be nice. :)

What did I buy today?

First thing I bought was Neverwinter Nights. I have to say I’m Really liking this game. The single player is Really great, and the multi-player just sounds phenomenal. I haven’t tried that yet, since I wanted to get a little bit more familiar with the game play before taking on player built campaigns and such. :) If you like any type of RPG or Dungeons & Dragons, I Totally recommend it. Very good stuff.

Finally, I got around to buying Cowboy Bebop. I only got the first DVD of 6 though. I had never seen this anime before and had only heard of it from Kaycee (codergurl.com, which appears to be down. :( ). I have to say that this anime is rocking. It’s kinda reminiscient of Golgo 13 and Space Cobra, so if you have ever watched those and liked them, you will DEFINITELY like Cowboy Bebop.  Extraordinary music score, love all the songs. I don’t recommend watching it around the kids though. It gets pretty violent and intense. :) (not quite as bad as Golgo 13 though as far as I can tell.)

Call for Help!

Just want to say that if you don’t have TechTV, you should get it. Watching Chris on Call for help is well worth it! There are some days where sure you might think, “well I already knew that.” But there are many times where I would just go, “Wow, never knew that.”
