Snuggie sucks!



For this past Christmas, I got my parents the snuggie that is some trendy product as seen here:




Before buying this I thought the snuggie was a stupid product, but I kept reading and hearing by word of friends that it was good. My parents didn't take the snuggie home by reason of not enough room in their luggage. However, I'm sure they thought it to be stupid.

Never judge a book by it's cover. I just tried the snuggie while watching the season premier of 24. In result, I could not wear the snuggie for more than a few minutes. It really is a cheap backward robe. Worse, it kept creating static to the point I could smell ozone. Perhaps I should wash it and give it another go.


Sick Ed


Eww I'm currently sick, and have been for a few days. Congested nasal cavity and coughs that hurt my head. I told my parents and now they won't stop calling. It'll be over soon, I hope.

I just watched the Spike Lee film called "25th Hour" starring Ed Norton. Fantastic movie with a touching ending. Makes me want to read the book (sorta). I wanted to read the book from the I Am Legend movie but never get myself to do that.

When it comes to books, I most prefer to read non-fictional books that can help you in real life. Currently, I'm slowly reading "Change of Heart."(Am I correctly naming titles of books/movies? I'll find out after I finish typing this blog.) I would rather read these books today because I find them much more useful. Earlier in my life, I read fictional books for entertainment, which I'm sure is the general reason people read such literature.

Which do you prefer to read?

RECAP


Herro,

My time back at home has been pretty well spent. I got to see a lot of friends but not everyone.

Several of us went snowboarding. For me, it was not that fun. First, I forgot to adjust my flow bindings , and I already fell behind the group. I had to readjust the bindings again mid-down the trail. So I texted a friend to go on without me, and after I sent the message, I look down and my board has disappeared. Off in the near distance I see my my board going down the mountain. Finally, I found it after some hiking down. For most of that boarding event, I was on my own doing trails of my choice. It's really nice because you can really go at your own pace. Unfortunately, I had a really hard time controlling my board, especially on alternating from heel to toe, vice versa. So several times my board caught the snow/ice and resulted in some bad falls, but luckily I wore my helmet. I don't recommend using flow bindings. They're great for getting your boots in fast, but they sacrifice too much control to be worth using.

The night before I watched the George Clooney movie "Up In The Air." It was a really entertaining movie and Clooney is a really good and suave actor.

Anyways, I'm heading back home tomorrow for a class later that night. Vacation is basically over as it should be. I'm somewhat tired of the traveling by air and road so going back to the routine student life will seem refreshing.

Iron Chef!


This is definitely one of my favorite shows of all time. Their english dubs are surprisingly acceptable and convincing. Also, I'm not talking of the terrible USA version of the show. I'm referring to the original Japanese show that was sadly ended. The theatrics and how it was run was always entertaining. Also, the concoctions the chefs "dish" out are awesome; always makes me hungry.

So I'm back home for a short period before school starts and I was really happy to see the Iron Chef show (FLN channel btw). I don't have cable in my own home so I spent a couple hours on the television.

It sure is really cold here, obviously. brrrrr
