Costume Update #2

So I finished painting the head:



It will look a little bit better once I put the screen in the mouth and put a nice clear glaze over it so it has that nice shiny, plastic look. And I know that this may be over doing it, but I may install a small fan inside of the helmet to get more air circulation. I figure if I'm gonna be wearing it all night, it might as well be as comfortable as possible. Next update: the legs and hopefully the finished product.

Costume Update

As promised, I'm going to post pictures of my costume. It's still not done yet, but it's coming together quite nicely if I may say so myself. Check out the picture:



I still have to finish putting together the head and painting the rest of the face. Because of my asian genes, I am unable to grow a full beard, so I think I might give this guy a nice full 5 o'clock shadow. I'm also still not sure how I wanna tackle the legs. It's gotta look nice, but I have to be able to move in it as well. I'll update again when I finish the head.

Heh

I know that it's been almost two months since I've updated this thing so I'll sum it up as best as possible. I studied. Or at least tried to study sometimes. My PCAT exam was this past Saturday and all I can say is that I'm glad that it's over. No more feeling guilty about whether or not I should stay home and read. I get my results back in about 5 weeks so we'll see how that goes.

One of my favorite holidays is coming up, Halloween, and I've just started on my costume. I'm gonna be a lego man figurine. In my opinion, the best costumes are homemade because you know that it will be original, for the most part. I've already finished the hands and the torso, so it's just the head and the legs. I'll post pictures of it when i'm finished. Perhaps I'll make a tutorial of it as well if it comes out pretty good. I'm not trying to boast, but I would say that so far it looks better than what others have come out with on the web. I just hope that it stays together come Halloween.

I was also introduced to something called StubleUpon and all I can say is that I am addicted. All you do is download this toolbar for your browser. Then it asks you to pick your interests. Once you've done that, you're ready to stumble. You click the buttom , oddly enough, called "Stumble!" and it will send you to a site based on what you set in your profile. These sites are based on what other users have recommended for a certain category. I now "Stumble" for at least half an hour a day. I'm actually doing it right now in another tab as I type out this blog. Sure, not every site is going to be great, but you do find sites you would have otherwise never came upon that will pique your interest. Check out this awesome video that I stumbled upon:

More of Sunny

So if you've still not watched the greatness that is It's Always Sunny, check out this clip.

Remember, new season starts on September 19, Thursday night on FX.

Kings

So last night after work, I went over to Mark, Frank, and Travis' house to play some drinking games. A friend of ours is visiting from San Diego, but it's not like we need a reason to drink. So we play the classic drinking game of King's cup, or in this case, King's pitcher. I know that everyone has their own rules when it comes to Kings, so here's how we play:

A - Make up a rule
2 - You
3 - Me
4 - Whores
5 - Story
6 - Dicks
7 - Heaven
8 - Pick a mate
9 - Bust a rhyme
10 - Categories
J - Waterfalls
Q - Questions
K - King's cup

The highlight of our games are always the aces because we usually come up with ridiculous rules. In the first game, some of the rules were playing air guitar when you laugh, saying "...in my pants" at the end of everything you say, and yelling "AMERICA!!!" before you drink. Those rules were alright, but the second game that we played had one of the best rules. Ever. Before your turn, you had to compliment AND insult another person in one sentence. It sounds a little confusing, but here are some examples of what was said. "You mom is super fat, but at least she puts out" - Nick. Said to a guy, "Hey, you've got a little vagina, but at least it works." Can't remember too many others.

Be prepared for another good update tonight. There's gonna be an epic basketball game between Jon and Kalani. A 12-pack of Sierra Nevada is at stake. 8:00pm at the Manoa District Park. Be there.

Random

So Mika, Riley, William Buck, Vanna, Dana, Matt and I went down to Waimea today. It's definitely one of my top 3 beaches. Not only is it ALWAYS nice, but I went there a lot as a kid. It always brings back mostly pleasant memories. So once everyone got to the beach, we went straight for the rock. I always feel like I kid when I'm jumping off, but that ends as soon as you do a backflop and you're back gets all red. I tried to do a double backflip off of the lower end of the rock, but i didn't get enough centripital force. Oh well..at least I tried and didn't pussy out. Then we played some volleyball, trying to keep the ball up as long as we could. We got to the high 50's a few times, no thanks to Jon punching the ball. And what's a day at the beach without some chicken fights? Evin and Vanna ended up dominating...I guess she has strong thighs?!





And I don't know if I posted any pictures of camping so here are some:





Mika, Amber, and I also went hiking last Sunday to Koko Head. That hike is slowly getting easier, more so than the last time I went up. For some retarted reason, I decided to run down the mountain. I thought that I had learned my lesson from last time, but apparently not. As a result, my calves were pretty much shot for about three days. Maybe next time ;)

25 More Days

Well they posted up some commercial spots for season 4 of It's Always Sunny and it's just made it that much harder to wait for it to start. My personal favorite is the one where they take on Extreme Makeover:Home Edition. Just watch the clip:



Along with the others:

Catching up

Since I'm in between school right now, I finally have time to catch up on some TV shows, which works out perfectly since a lot of the shows are premiering next month. One show that I'm really glad that I got to catch up on is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It's one of the most original and outlandish shows that I've ever seen. All of the characters are vain to say the least and lack any sense of morals. I also have a lot of respect for the people working on the show since three of the main actors are also writers and executive producers of the show. They just do it all. Well if you get the chance, check it out. Every episode from season 1-3 is on Hulu. Season 4 premiers on Thursday, September 18th at 10pm on FX.

Just a short little clip from the episode "Dennis and Dee's Mom is Dead." The guys realize that they don't really have any friends so they come up with an idea to meet other guys.

Holy Sh*t!!!

Well not much happened today on my day off. Watched some of the swimming and women's gymnastics during the day. Then during the break, Mika and I went grocery shopping at Marukai's on Dillingham. We stopped by Savers on our way there to donate some clothes, the majority of it being Mika's. We stopped by Foodland on our way home to pick up a few more ingredients after deciding in the store that we wanted to eat fried rice for dinner. Got home and started cooking. Nothing fancy, just left over bacon, portuguese sausage, and lop chong from breakfast. Then threw in some egg and kim chee to round it out. Then Riley dropped by to eat dinner and watch one awesome fuckin race. That 4x100m freestyle relay was just cream in your pants good, and only further enhanced by the trash talking done by the favored French team. Honestly, I don't think that anything else in the Beijing Olympics is gonna be able to top that moment for me. USA!!!

Keeping it going

So I got shit for not updating my blog from a fellow blogger, which is actually a good thing because this is something that I want to continue doing. I'm not gonna write about everything that happened since the last update, mainly because I can't remember, so I'll start from Thursday. A few friends and I went to go watch Pineapple Express at Dole Cannery. I thought that it was a pretty good movie, definitely cracked me up a few times. I didn't know that Rosie Perez was gonna be in it so that was kind of a nice surprise. We actually ran into a co-worker there that watched the same movie...she thought that it was so-so.

Friday morning went to go to an eye appointment. My eye sight is really not that bad, I only use my glasses at the movies or in class, or sometimes at night when I drive. According to my doctor, my left eye got a little worse. That doesn't make any sense to me because I don't think that I use it any less or any more than my right eye. Oh well...at least I got to pick out some new Turtle shell frames. Then I drove back up to town to eat some lunch with my friend Jon. We ended up going out to Bangkok Chef which is a pretty good Thai place that's cheap and good and fills you up. Its located near Hungry Lion on School St and Nuuanu. Then we went back to meet up with some friends at Frank's house and just watched a bunch of episodes of How I Met Your Mother. Then we went to go grab some Pasteles at a place near our house. Then back to the house for more episodes of HIMYM until the guys had to leave for a wedding. For more info on that go to my friend Mark's blog.

So while those guys were at the wedding, Mika, Jon, and I went downtown to Murphys to go watch the 49ers and Raiders preseason game. We actually got there a little early so we ended up watching a bunch of the opening ceremony of the Olympics. I'm sure that most people have seen it so I'm only gonna say that it was freaking awesome. The game came on and was only made better since Chad, one of the awesome bartenders at Murphy's, was a Raiders fan. The niners played pretty shitty so after that depressing game, we headed to Waikiki to go meet up with some friends at Yard House. After a couple more beers, we just headed home.
