Banderas Still Attracts Puss

Antonio Banderas plays a suave, Zorro-like feline in Puss in Boots; who also has an attraction to a kitty version of Salma Hayek.


Ms. Meow has a taken a liking to Banderas and Salma on the big screen. She doesn't really care much for Zach Galifianakis playing Humpty Dumpty.

"Over 100 units will participate in the Southwest Airlines Chinese New Year Parade. A San Francisco tradition since just after the Gold Rush, the parade continues to delight and entertain the many hundreds of thousands of people that come to watch it on the street..." (http://www.chineseparade.com/)

Take to heart the last part where it states that many hundreds of thousands of people come to watch the Chinese New Year parade because the event was packed more than a store offering 10 TVs for a slightly discounted price on Black Friday. It was crowded going there, crowded there, and crowded going back. It reminded me of the packed train stations of Japan, but not as crowded because here in America we need our personal space.


Interestingly enough people were enjoying the event without too much chaos. Occasionally the pushers and obnoxious people were seen, but they disseminated easily into the vast crowds of people. Getting a good view of the parade when you come during the middle of the event was a challenge in itself. People were climbing trees and trying to get the best possible angle to take pictures and view the parade. I, myself, had to climb a lamp post to get a better angle. A person can always risk pushing oneself into the crowd, but there's always a person shifting their stance so when you take a picture they stick their fat heads in the picture.
Note the quality of the pictures aren't great. In a couple of the shots it looks like there's still light outside, but it was clearly night time. The high ISO settings might create grainy pictures and the movement at night is clearly seen with all the blurriness. It does have an artistic quality to it.

Bigger is Better

New Apex 46" LCD TV and my old Westinghouse 32" TV comparison. The 46 inch Apex makes the 32 inch Westinghouse look like a computer monitor. The Apex has a 106% larger area in comparison with the Westinghouse.

http://www.displaywars.com/32-inch-16x9-vs-46-inch-16x9

I purchased the Apex for $379 + tax with free shipping if desired from Target.com
I purchased the Westinghouse from Walmart for $500in store + tax maybe 4 or 5 years ago.

For my room the 46 inch is about the maximum size that a person would want for the distance away from the TV. The quality is decent on the Apex, but features are a little low (like no picture in picture etc).

Doppelganger

A surprise sighting of a Rachel impersonator at Kohl's. The resemblance was uncanny. She was a little larger than Rachel, but had the same glasses and everything. To the left is the doppelganger to the right is the real thing. Can you tell the difference? Maybe it was Rachel, but she sure didn't say 'Hi' to us.

When your car starts to screech it's a bad omen of things to come. Low's car died in front of my house when he came to pick me up. We charged his car with my car, but then we decided to go to Costco to pick up a few things.

Low suspecting that things weren't really going well with his vehicle, this was the second time it didn't start in front of my house, decided to look for car batteries while shopping. Costco with is vast quantities of everything had no batteries that were for his model car. 

After concluding our shopping excursion we went back to the car and after a few loud screeches reminiscent of a dying bird we knew his car battery could hold about as much of a charge as a 3 year old laptop.

After not finding any batteries at Costco we decided to try at Wal-mart. I mean after all if it's not at Costco and not at Wal-mart we deserve to be stranded right? Anyway, we found the battery and lugged it back to the Costco parking lot. We put the battery in with some assistance from Low's brother Sou, and we were on our way.


Just take head of warning signs because you might not be so lucky or under such relaxed time constraints.

My Room 1/10/12

Happy New Year~!
This is the layout of my room as of 1/10/12.
Pretty small room, but the loft bed gives me a little more space. I like how the room has come together. I would prefer hardwood floors because rugs get dirty easier, but I'm not complaining. The Anime stuff isn't all mine, it's mostly a combination of what my girlfriend has collected and my stuff.

Biking / Walking Lake Chabot

Monday, January 9, 2012 Posted by Digital Katsu 0 comments
When a 60 year old biker passes you on the incline of a hill you know that you need to get back on the regular exercise train because the embarrassment alone is enough motivation. Low, Chun-li, and I decided to go try the trails of Lake Chabot. We just weren't prepared for the steep inclines and dirt roads, so we ended up pushing our bikes most of the way. That still counts as exercise right?  

We did however make it about 1/4 of the bike loop. We ended up giving up due to the lack of motivation and someone made a comment that we weren't supposed to ride road bikes up a dirt trail. Does adventure stop because you don't have the right equipment? I guess the answer to that question is No, but our tired bodies didn't want to go on.
The main point of the excursion was exercise; goal accomplished.
