I had gone to Glendale on Wednesday with some friends from school to see Sweeny Todd and have some Peruvian food, but none of these turned out to be the highlight of the day. After the movie, we were walking down the street to the restaurant and happened upon a Cuban man sitting on the sidewalk. He asked for some change like anyone else, but I felt ( Read more... )

I had decided at the beginning of summer to study and become a web developer over the course of the Summer "vacation." In the last four weeks, I've covered HTML, Java, Flash and now PHP and a little XML. At this point, I've found that the CalPoly free webspace cannot support XML, so tonight I bought the domain www.jermzlar.com. Nothing is there now ( Read more... )

Kingdom Hearts 2 is driving me crazy. I had no interest in it before it came out, but recently, I can't escape the thought of it. My roommate plays it all the time and when I visit Jose, he's playing it too. PJ was even playing the theme song on the piano when Jose WASN'T there. When I went home last weekend, I helped my friend Mike Apiz move into ( Read more... )

I finally finished all of my tests and they were much easier than expected. Thank goodness. Now that that's out of the way, today at 3 was the scheduled time for the game. This is the second game ever played since its creation and this time we had an extra player for a 3 person match. An Aikido specialist who used a training daggar and the way of ( Read more... )

Today when I looked into my e-mail, I noticed that Paypal had sent me something, probably a notice that they are changing their policies again. The heading read that I had sent over $200 to some place for a diamond ring! I quickly opened the e-mail and it looked real. I needed to do something quickly or I'd have less of a chance of getting my money ( Read more... )

Today (Saturday) I went to my grandma's house in the morning so that she could teach me how to make chinese "tamales." I don't know their real name, but that's pretty much what they are. They're made from sweet rice with mung beans, salted pork and chinese sausage wrapped in bamboo leaves and boiled for several hours. Grandma was telling me that ( Read more... )

This week has been crazy at work. I've been so busy doing things that I haven't had any time to do my usual pyramids in the rafters, so I've resorted to alternative methods. I've been acting in a way that Damian describes as being "anime." I don't know what that means, but lately I've started doing average things in unusual ways. For instance, ( Read more... )

Today, I felt too sick to go to work. With all of the sneezing and coughing, I didn't want to risk anyone getting sick. I called in and left a message, but I have a feeling that it didn't get received. I was trying to use my phone throughout the day in several different locations and no one could hear me. I received a voicemail, but my phone never ( Read more... )

This morning, I woke up feeling a little sick, so by the time I got to work, I wasn't in the greatest of shape. But still, I had enough energy to maintain a zombie-like mode of operation. I usually start playing music from my player once I start feeling as if I am going crazy, so I started the music as soon as I got there. I was playing the ( Read more... )

Today I made an even better bowl of ramen than the last. I didn't mention the last time, but it was really good. This time, I prepared more things for it to come out tasting much better. I used the same recipe, but I added spinach, sprouts, hon-shimeji, nori and a slice of naruto. Everything came out so much better, I couldn't believe that it could ( Read more... )
