MIA 3 days…

Thursday, May 12th, 2011 at 9:43 pm

I could just…not blog. No one would notice. But then I wouldn’t be able to blog right now!

So…Going to Montreal for a Bachelor party. Leaving Friday morn, coming back Sunday night?

Went to Best Buy today and randomly purchased 3 games. Call of Duty Modern Warfare. Assassin’s Creed II. And Dance Dance Revolution. I looked at the DDR song list, it’s pretty small…but really, I just bought it for the pad. I can get other games or download other songs or whatever later.

I think I’ll turn off my computer tonight, something I rarely do….no point in wasting all that power until Sunday.

Until next time, my friends!

ME. ME. ME. (and Friendster.)

Thursday, May 12th, 2011 at 2:52 am

Another post written about me. By me. For me (not really).

In my random Googling of my name (which I do once in a while to see how I do on the Google Search Results), I came across my Friendster profile, last updated/viewed in 2004

http://profiles.friendster.com/1552125

It’s pretty hilarious because there are a couple of references to my single life as well as a testimonial (= Facebook’s wall) from Z before we started going out. Though it doesn’t sound like her at all :P

The most intriguing part of the wall was how I described myself 7-8 years ago, when I was 21ish?

It’s crazy just how…little I’ve changed superficially. My tastes are the same, my favorites are still the same (guess I haven’t found many new things to top my old things). This is 7-8 years ago, 1/4 of my life. I’m fairly sure things changed dramatically between the ages of 0 and 7 and between 7 and 14. I would even say that between 14 and 21, things changed dramatically as well. But apparently between 21 and 28…I’ve been…relatively the same. Did my superficial growth get stunted? Did my emotional growth get stunted? I don’t know…it’s always interesting to see blasts from the past. It’s not a bad thing that I haven’t changed…or is it? Maybe it’s me realizing who I am and who I want to be in this crazy ol’ world. I don’t know, I’ll think about this one a bit more…

Side Note: I can’t believe I wrote Gundam Seed Destiny on that list from 2003-2004! It was good for a while, but overall that series blew chunks. Also, I wonder if I should be putting Death Note on my current anime list. As an anime, it wasn’t as good as the rest (though better than Naruto as there was no filler). As a manga, it’d definitely be on there…but I don’t have a manga section.

Side, unrelated note: Google imaging “in: warrenshea.com” provides some interesting results. It’s cool seeing all these images, from my site, on one page…I will check this again in the future.

Anyways, time to sleep I have a busy day tomorrow (and in the following days). Fortunately, I get to wake up at 9:30am :)

Some videos…about my Dwarf Hamsters :D

Chandler…cleaning herself…sticking her foot in her ear O_O Cute and kinda gross at the same time!
It’s incredible how her foot moves in that circular motion, so fast!


I always tend to find hammies sleeping in this tube. Also, no animals were harmed in the making of this video. Well, maybe one :/

Kotobukiya Black Widow – Leg paint issue?

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011 at 1:43 am

This is a video response to someone’s comment on my post: Photography – eternally time consuming.
I made it simply because I’m such a nice guy and I appreciate legit comments :) His comment was:

Hi. Can I ask you a quick question about your black widow figure.
I just bought this from forbiddenplanetcom and mine had really faded blue colour on the left knee, lower legs and boots. Does yours have anything like that? I’ve been trying to find pictures to compare it to but I could do with a second opinion. FP support were no help at all, cheers

To summarize: I found no problems with my statue.

Also, I <3 Kotobukiya and all Marvel and DC Bishoujo Series! Also, I bite the skin around my nails…but at least I clipped my nails and they look relatively clean. Sometimes…there’s this BLACK LINE underneath full of dirt, pencil lead, and decaying flesh. I won’t lie to you, it’s gross.

Mezza on 2 – Dinner – Review

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011 at 1:10 am

Website : Mezza on 2

Menu : Menu Page 1Menu Page 2

I had a Groupon to use for this place. I had no idea it was Mediterranean. If I did, I likely wouldn’t have gotten this Groupon. And I likely would have missed out on this fantastic dinner. Seriously, this was the best dinner I’d had in a while…and here’s why:


FOOD: Overall 9/10

(Click on the pics for larger pics)

Appetizer(s):
Chicken Kebab – $5
4oz seasoned marinated fire grilled Chicken.

Beef Kebab – $5
4oz seasoned fire grilled succulent Beef.

The beef was alright…cooked at a medium? Nothing too special. It gets a 7. The Chicken however, was up there with the best Chicken I’ve ever had in my life. It gets…an 11 (/10)! which averages to a 9/10 :)
Seriously, I don’t know what else to say except the Chicken was ridiculously awesome. That reason alone is reason enough to return….

Entree:
Shrimp Linguini – $21
Jumbo black tiger shrimp sauteed with cappers, garlic and tossed with our white win, garlic cream sauce.

This was my entree. I also give this…hmm, 9! Pasta was cooked PERFECTLY. Taste was PERFECT. Shrimp was AWESOME. Deducting 0.5 points for the salty cappers I couldn’t eat, and 0.5 points for the shell on the shrimp, making the shrimp tough to eat. Still, this pasta was near perfect.

Penne a la Vodka – $17
Traditional Penne a la Vodka served with Chicken Breast.

This wasn’t my entree…I don’t remember too much about it. It was great, pasta was cooked perfectly as well. The taste had a little kick in it, the vodka was noticable…and it came with chicken. It was a great dish in itself and I would be happy to have this….if not for the Shrimp Linguini.

SERVICE: 10/10

Waiter was very courteous, nice, prompt, everything. To be fair, there were only 4 people (2 tables) in the restaurant, including us. And one of the tables left half way…so it was just us :) I would be very disappointed if our service was bad :) He gets a 10…honestly, because I can’t find anything wrong at all.

ATMOSPHERE: 9/10

No problems with this either, I had a GREAT view of the intersection people, it was awesome to people watch. Saw lots of cute little doggies, dirty men, not-so-attractive women. It was quiet…mostly because we were the only people in the restaurant. Unfortunately, I was put off a bit by the music, but that’s part of the atmosphere I guess. Still, points off for this…I guess :/

COST: 8/10

$48 total…but with a $40 Groupon (which I bought for $20), it was only $28 :) Not too shabby! Even at $48, for two people…not bad. Especially for the quality of food we got.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Food comes first, and it was great! Some things were perfect, some things were close to perfect…it gets the rating it deserves. I would definitely recommend trying this place out…make sure to get the Chicken :D
