I'm not sure if it is a real game or not. It should be it's funny. My cousins Ashley and Krystal are mimicking the Justin as Brandon tries to get in on the action. This is only a taste of the near hour they were playing the game. I love my family. Oh yeah and David can be scene in the background.
So Wednesday I had a little chat with my friend Vivian through video ichat. I gave her a tour of my house, showed her both coffee makers and some of the art I recently hung on the walls. I really haven't done a lot to the house since moving in. I didn't want to show her my messy office or bedroom. Maybe if she comes up I'll clean it up and then she can see it, but right now I have clothes everywhere! Anyway this is what the conversation looked like. It was difficult to keep a straight face.
Got a new computer finally. Got a macbook pro, it's stuperfly. I now have access to a camera where I can see myself. Could be dangerous. I love photobooth, I've already taken over 500 pictures. I think I'm going to run out of space on the hard drive.
So lately I've been working with IDEO which means I have to leave the house. I immediately tried to find a different form of transportation as I got a parking ticket the first day I was there. There was only 2 hour parking spots and when I start working I generally concentrate on that. I should have set an alarm for the parking, oh well cest la vie. Anyway I am now taking the train to work. Caltrain is fantastic, it's no tommyd, but if I miss one there is another in about 10 minutes which could get there faster then the one I just missed as some of them are baby bullet trains that look like bullets. Very long bullets. Here is a picture of me on my first baby bullet train ride looking happy: The baby bullet looks remarkably similar to the metrolink in LA, except for the upholstery of the seats have a different pattern and the outside says caltrain.
Sunday I had a little dinner at my house. Suzy and Deeps came over. I cooked. Suzy brought dessert and Deeps brought some red wine. It was great! I'll have to do it again soon. I felt like an adult! That doesn't happen often. After dinner we played with my new computer. We had fun with the stretch feature. This is one of the resulting videos:
The other guys were watching the playoffs, and missed out on all the fun.
So my uncle sent me a link today which had a quiz. These are my results:
20I'm not so sure of the accuracy of this quiz, as one 3year old can tire me out when baby sitting, but maybe 5years old have less energy? If you think about it they have the advantage when it comes to being closer to your ankles, and once they've tackled you down to the floor it's pretty much over. Unless they meant one at a time, which I doubt as one of the questions asks if you would be willing to throw a 5 year old at the other 5 year olds in self defense. If it were one at a time I'm sure I could take more then 20. The key is to use your longer arms and keep them at a distance. Maybe hold their foreheads. I think I'd be more comfortable with fighting midgets though. At least they would be able to knowingly sign the waver.
Also I took another test. How many countries can you name in 5 minutes. I tried 3 times. I thought with my weird memory of the animaniacs song I would be able to get em all? Not even close. I can't spell worth crap especially under pressure. I think I did alright, but I found myself running out of time, but still knowing more countries. these were my results
OK so this is a little sad. I took the color test and I can only name 46 colors in 5 minutes though I named lots of colors that were not in their database so that sort of sucks. Anyway that's enough of quizes for me for one day I think. 46
Have you ever gone out to eat with a large group of people and let one person try to divide out the bill at the end that has no concept of math? I recently went out to eat with some friends for a birthday, so already the bill would be all the people minus one. When the bill came it was divided and each of us grabbed our wallets and gave money, calculating extra drinks, sides and whatnot. Seems simple, unless the bill is miscalculated and there is not enough there. Okay, so we're all human we can make a mistake, but after dividing up the bill you'd think it'd be encouraging to divide the rest of it up correctly. Not so for this dinner the rest of the bill had to be divided up three times before it was somewhat accurate. You know the stereotype about Asians being good at math? Well this certainly proved that wrong. I think what made it worse was the person dividing up the bill suddenly didn't have enough money to put it into the pot (probably from another faulty calculation somewhere down the line). Anyway, we ate pizza and that was good.
After dinner we ate frozen yogurt and played a game called "Battle of the Sexes". For those of you who have never played this game . It's a trivia game were you divide into two teams, male vs. female and try to get your pawns over the gender barrier into the other sexes territory by answering questions that the other team is supposed to know the answers to. For example: Question to the guys: What two colors mixed together make the color pink? (the answer to which the guys almost got wrong) Question to the girls: Name two car companies with a lion as their logo. Can you guess the answer to that little gem? I think the question should have been name one of the two car companies with a lion for a logo. I was asked this question and I got one part of the answer, and I could see the other "lion" in my head but couldn't remember where I saw it or what company it was. This question is still bothering me now and I know the answer, and I can't believe I missed the question I'm disappointed in my inner car guy. The girls ended up winning anyway, though we did have a guy on our team though the only answer he helped us with was something where the answer was Babe Ruth, and I now know what pitching a perfect game is verbatim (we made the teams answer word for word as to make things a little more interesting). Over all "Battle of the Sexes" was a fun game though for people with good memories only playable once through unless you get a new deck of questions every time.
