Gable House Bowl, La Capilla, Roda’s

I went bowling with some people today. I think I would have broken my record game, but a little kid in the next lane threw his ball into my lane when it was my turn on a crucial frame. It was a gutter ball. =/

After we bowled, Sam left, and the rest of us went to La Capilla. We had to wait about an hour for a table… seemed like forever. I finished Everything and a Kite during dinner. Then we went to Roda’s house, where she and Achala were watching Napolean Dynamite. It was good to see both of them. It had been a long time since I’d seen Achala, so that was cool. It hadn’t been that long since I’d seen Roda, but from UCI, I was used to seeing her often. I had a great time.

Everything and a Kite

Everything and a Kite by Ray Romano is a very funny book. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be any good, but I couldn’t pass it up for $1.50 at a thrift store. It was worth it. Granted, I don’t think it’s worth the $22 it’s priced as new, but it’s still very funny. Here’s a little excerpt:
You ever this memory loss? You’re in the shower, you’re daydreaming, and you can’t remember if you shampooed your hair?
Oh, that scared the hell out of me. You have to backtrack in your own shower.
“Hmmm, let me see… my hair feels squeaky…”
You know what I do now? I just bring a checklist right into the shower. Then I check each thing off after it’s done.
Turn on cold water
Turn on hot water
Burn
Freeze
Burn, but a little less
Wash
Lather
Sing “Piano Man”
Rinse
Check for ticks
That’s pretty much it.
Well, not everything. There is something that isn’t on the list that I occasionally do in the shower, but I’d really rather not discuss it.
I think the men know what I’m talking about.
Thaaaaaaaaaaat’s right.
It’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s healthy. God gave us a gift, and look, sometimes in the shower we use it.
What’s funny is that sometimes we have no intention of doing that at all, and you even tell yourself that as you’re going in.
“Look, I’m late. I’m just gonna wash it and be on my way.”
Then you get in there, and the next thing you know, you’re trying to seduce yourself.
“Relax. I know we’re late. I just wanna hold it, that’s all.”

Christmas

On Christmas Eve morning, I went out for sashimi, sushi, and tempura with my mom and grandpa. It was very tasty! I wish I could eat that more often. Then we went back to my aunt’s to spend the day with the family. Haley and Mitchel, my cousins, are so cute. Haley going to break a lot of hearts someday. I spent most of the day reading Digital Fortress. I read a couple pages before going to my aunt’s, but I basically started it that day. My stepdad got a 20 questions game, and the thing’s amazing. I don’t know how it’s able to guess correctly. I got cool stuff too. I received some DVD movies (copies), blank DVDs, a glass paperweight (my grandfather makes them… actually quite awesome, I’ll take a photo or something), a wallet and keychain from friends of my grandparents, a travel case for suits/clothes, a bag from a casino, cookies, a PS2 memory card, Red Zone deodorant, body spray, and body wash, a Starbucks gift card, five nice shirts, a denim jacket, a body pillow, and Domain cologne and aftershave. I got money too of course. The movies had a good selection, the paperweight is amazing (my grandfather is really talented, I think), the body pillow is amazing… yeah I’m happy with everything I guess. Man, that body pillow is awesome. I spent Christmas Eve night with my mom.
On Christmas, the family came to my mom’s house. I spent most of the time alone in an extra bedroom reading Digital Fortress. I finished it, and it’s really good. I had fun seeing my family. My great-grandmother bought me a lotto ticket… but I lost =/. My dad drove me to Gem’s where we exchanged gifts. I’m glad I got to see her; I miss her so much, and she gives the best hugs =D. She gave me a super cute Build-A-Bear named Fluffy Butt. And I lovez him (and her)! He’s dressed like Woody from Toy Story. She liked my gifts as well. Overall, it was a great Christmas! Now, I’m off to watch a movie!

Pre-Christmas Goodness

Last week, I saw Spanglish with Herbert, David, Mike, and David and Mike’s cousin (Phil, I think). It was cool to see them again. The next day, I went shopping with Gemma. It was great to see her again… I missed her as usual =D. I had a chance to buy Digital Fortress. Later, I went to Hanah’s with Herbert where we hung out with Avi. Hanah was at a show, but she came back, and we to David’s. Good times. We watched The Ring, and David told jokes about being rich that somehow didn’t seem mean. Another day, I went to La Capilla with Jay and Joseph. Tasty, good times. Afterwards we went to Joe’s where we almost played Risk, played El Dorado, and hung out. Joseph bought me a nice gift with cool pepsi wrapping paper!
