at the end of the last post i left a reminder for the rest of the cali trip. i basically told what happened july 1st and honestly for july 2nd.. im having a troublesome time remembering what happened.. but let's just say all this stuff to come is the truth. over some sensitive details i went to visit my brother's apartment for the first time.. a second time. heh. when reena came to pick everyone up and head over to her place a few of us were still a bit behind and not totally ready to go, by that time pearline had let me use her laptop for playing the game "spore creature creator" spore is something that i had waited for, for almost two whole years. the first footage of the game came from the 2006 e3 expo. and from then i was hooked on the idea. i wasn't obviously thinking about it for every waking moment since then. but its been in my mind passively. always interesting in the new news for spore. and when she let me use it, it would be the first time i had ever run anything from spore in game form. (the whole game is basically from cell to galactic overlord but creature creator only lets you make things and you can't really use 'em) so i am happy to say spore was awesome, and i wish the trail wasn't so limited (less parts to use) even though the full version only costs 10 bucks. so anyway! when reena came in i was playing spore and was mid-way my first creature. i think i would be a little more satisfied if i had a mouse to use instead of a laptop trackpad. and then after some finishing up with breakfast we left to reena and hero's place! the trip used a total of two cars. one was a rental that phann had gotten and the other reena's car. now im not quite sure what time it was.. but i now realize that the carpool lane is quite useful. LA traffic sure is weird. (in terms of speed to me) when we got there reena's car was parked in its spot and phann parked on the street. and as we getting out of the car pearline's door hit some lonely bed mattress on the sidewalk. ahaha. poor pearline was held at bay by it. phann moved it and we were let inside the gate with the gate button thingy. like a remote control for the sliding gate to let cars and people inside the apartment complex. a little walk and on the top floor.. and tada! the apartment! we got inside and im not quite sure what it ended up being.. but i absolutely love one of the additions to the place since last i went. THE HAMMOCK! everyone else left to go to the store and it was just me and phann left at the apartment. we spent some time on a big puzzle that hero and reena were doing. i added a total of four correct pieces! phann probably get a lot more.. also i got i think my 2nd or 3rd encounter with the Mac OS X operating system. i like being well versed in things but the OS was something that was new to me. gosh i felt like such a noob not knowing how to do most anything on it. ahhaha. after reena got a message on skype i was a little confused on what to do.. so phann enabled a guest account so that i could use her laptop and have a sandbox environment not really worrying since it would all disappear when i logged off. i cant tell you how long i spent on the puzzle/laptop but eventually i found my way back to the hammock. it is sooooo comfortable. and i fell asleep for a few hours. (i think..) phann left to go back to reena's parents place and asked if i wanted to go back too. i stayed and he switched out with pearline. when pearline was there we watched some angel. specifically the episode where he gets turned into a puppet. (to look up the episode.. i remembered what phann did on the mac to make a guest account and used that to look it up online. (im a little proud of the fact that i did that for some reason)) i think it was when everyone else came back.. im not quite sure.. but at some point.. HERO CAME HOME! i think the last time i saw him before this was during christmas time many months ago. so i can honestly say he was well received. he bikes and then takes the train to work so we had to move the fan tower thingy so he could put his bike where it usually goes. he got a massively changing haircut since last i saw him and the haircut was first debuted on his facebook profile picture. i don't know if i'll upload that picture... hmmmm. somewhere in between pearline coming and the end of the day.. reena suggested watching a japanese romantic comedy called train-man. all in all a slow start but a good finish. i recommended to them a korean romantic comedy called "my sassy girl" then condemned watching the english remake. (sucks ass.) and we left to reena's parents' house for dinner. i think we had some really good fish. and sometime after.. hero and reena left cause it was getting a bit late. and tomorrow was the reception!
yay! i thought that was a good cliffhanger ending. ill start tomorrow off directly to the part when we were at the apartment bringing stuff down to the cars.
more recently i've been trying to follow this push up regiment. which you can read about at http://hundredpushups.com read at least from the intro to the initial test. im a rank 2! (as of starting the ongoing project) about an hour ago i finished doing week 2, day 1. and i can say that im glad that i started it. today eilene started week 1, day 1. im trying to get other people on board mostly because that's what i do.. i suggest things to people that i think will be helpful to them, and im also trying to use them as a strong motivator similar to what i did with my first blog. i don't know who exactly i gave the blog to before the 16 day trial period.. but im certain that anna and billy where part of the group. anna didn't miserably fail at it.. she did still keep me motivated. but just not through the making of her blog.. billy on the other hand, probably was the best of all the motivators. at times.. or even most of the time he was very dedicated to the posting in his blog and his mere involvement kept me going for a good part of the posts. anyways. go push ups! yeah!
also more recently i've downloaded worms armageddon. i've played worms armageddon before. in fact its been YEARS! since i started playing. and i might even daresay.. its one of the first games that i can honestly say i got good at. at my peak i could take all the computers from 1-5 and pit them against me and still win. even a full one on one with computer five too. by now im talking about it like its a sport or event. it was just good clean fun. the start of worms came from phann. it was years ago so the details are fuzzy.. but i still have the original disc that i used to play. he burned the disc.. and we all started playing! ahaha. thats probably not how it all started but that's what is in my memory as of now. and the reason i downloaded worms instead of using the version that i had already is because it was the new updated version! more weapons! more levels! and other extra stuff! most importantly.. i didn't need an active disc in my drive to play! and so far the new version is great. the online part of it even works now. (worm net) cause before i could only use the LAN part of it. but now i can freely (not legally) distribute the game to my friends that wanna play and actually take part in the game with them! i uploaded the .rar file needed to install it on some site so i might put the link here if i can find it. (it's on eilene's computer currently) billy is out-of-state in NH so ill wait till he gets back before springing this on him. billy's a rank 4 in the push up regiment thing i was talking about.. and so is nick.. (nick wright, good ol' buddy of mine.. met in not so good o' FL)
i think that's a good amount of typing for now. peace out foo'
