Chilly

It was abit chilly inside CMC today. I wore my lab coat at my desk most of the day. It's made of this really thin, plasticy material; but stays warm because it doesn't breathe. No one else seemed to notice that it was abit cool at work, so I better not be getting sick!

Dinner today -> Steak and Veggies.
Angus Steak is on sale at Metro.

^ Steak and Veggies.

Useless Idol News:
There's an AKB48 Board Game coming out this December. A limited release by Bandai. Here's the pre-order page.
It looks like a mahjong type game, with the girl's faces on the tiles. Don't think I will be getting this.

NES Display

Some cool displays are set up in a supermarket somewhere:

^ Mario and Donkey Kong.
I got to give a hand to those employees. They are true NES Fans.

Long Weekend Report

Friday:
Got some "Large" Naval Oranges from the SuperStore. Then I got some "Large" Grapefruits from FarmBoy. Only when I got home, that I realized SuperStore's "Large" is "Small" compared to Farmboy's "Large". The grapefruits I got were huge!

^ "Large" Orange and Large Grapefruit.

Saturday:
Lunch today -> ChowMein and Beef Brisket from T&T.
Bought separately, but combined together; it makes for a good meal or two.

Sunday:
Got some pastries from Montreal.

^ BBQ Pork Buns and Egg Tarts from MTL

Monday:
Today is Labour Day. Suppose to be a holiday from work, but I spent 1/2 the day at CMC working... :(
BUT I spent the other 1/2 of the day playing "Batman: Arkham Asylum". I started Friday night and I'm about 37% complete. It's one of the best games I've ever played.

^ Batman for 360.

Dinner today -> Black Pepper Spaghetti.
Made some Black Pepper Spaghetti. Added some nappa, beef, and shrimps. I think I added too much black pepper, because the nappa itself is naturally peppery. Still pretty good.

^ Black Pepper Spaghetti.

Useless Transformers News:
FYI: The G1 Transformers cartoon is now on every night at 12:30am on Teletoon Retro (Rogers Ch 284 in Ott). Note that on Saturday, Transformers is on twice: midnight and 12:30am (different episodes.)

Comic Book Shoppe got some 2010 San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Blasters. He comes with Steeljaw, Ramhorm and Eject. I didn't pick it up. It had nothing extra that I didn't have already for the Japanese re-issues, other than the nice collector's box.

Moon Cake

The Moon Cake Festival is this month (I think?), and T&T has alot of different moon cakes for sale. I picked up this really fancy wooden 3-tier Moon Cake display. I got it mainly for the display piece than for the moon cakes, even though my mom said it's a really well known brand of moon cake.

^ 3-tier Display.
The display is pretty good quality. It's got black felt on the inside of each container and a large felt piece on the bottoms.

^ Moon Cake insides.
The inside of the moon cakes that come with this has a single yoke in the center. I believe it's surrounded by "golden" lotus paste too. Really tasty :)

The T&T flyer also says that they carry a 5-yoke moon cake. I think I will try to get one, this weekend to try out. I was also looking for 16 different Japanese mini-moon cakes box, but I didn't see it there.
