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

Something Interesting

I woke up to a very uncomfortable feeling in my left arm. It was entirely numb. I'm sure you may have experienced different degrees of numbness, but this was the worst of them all. My arm was so numb that it took approximately 1/4 of a second from my mental command to the physical movement of my finger. As I jumped out of bed I could not carry my arm and so it hanged and drooped towards gravity. After 5 min, I did get my sensation and total control back.

I noticed that a lot of these numbing events occur when I sleep with this certain shirt on. I guess I'll stuff away into some storage box.

:\

O crap

I did not post a single blog last month.

Paranormal Activity

This movie was pretty darn good. I got scared a few times. It also has moments of humor between the couple. I don't want to get into deep detail and ruin the movie for you, the reader. When I came home, I closed the garage door the moment my car was inside. Oddly, the garage did not close all the way and it opened back up. I did not see anything in the way of the sensors and the sensors appeared to be aligned correctly. I was a bit freaked out.

It was a bit early for me to sleep so I was on the computer. I was looking at a youtube video then suddenly loud noises from the speakers scared me. It seems I left the sound on loud before I left for the movie. HAHA.

I went to bed at about 1 am. I usually sleep with my doors open, but this time I closed them. These are two doors where one is locked into the hole in the wood frame above, and the other door closes into the first one. By morning, I walk to the two doors and I tried to open them. I could not....WTFWTF. Eventually, after a few tries I was able to open them. I think a combo of the new carpet floors and how the structure of the doors made opening the doors more difficult.

Well, I'm over the movie but the experience was interesting. :)

Poison!

Yesterday was a good day overall. After classes, a few buds from class and myself went to a bar to watch the NFL season opener. Beer was way cheap for that night. 17 bucks for 8 beers; ridiculous. And they were giving away free food of chicken sliders and hot dogs. BUT!...when I got home I felt slightly whoozy so I took a half hour nap. Then I suddenly felt sick to my stomach and was dizzy. Now it wasn't from the alcohol, I tell you. It was probably the food causing me food poison. There was no pepto stuff in the house and I didn't feel good to drive. I tried to vomit but for some reason my nose had to bleed....weird stuff. Luckily, things got better in another hour when I used the funny remedy of Powerade. Sip that stuff occassionally and eventually, I was 90% better.
