Useless Idol News:
To honour AKB48's Takahashi Minami's hard work and leadership, the next concert in March will be named for her. It'll be called, "TAKAMINA NI TSUITE IKIMASU" ("We will follow Takamina"). Details here and a download clip of the announcement by Team A here.

I think it's pretty cool of management to do this. She's the heart and soul of AKB48, and she totally deserves this. Plus, I think she is pretty awesome too.


^ Takamina.

Also at this concert, it is rumoured that the announcement of 8 AKB members will be demoted then. This will bring the member count back down to 48. Details here.

Pancake Flavoured Milkshake

Dinner today -> Spaghetti with Mushroom Meat Sauce.
I bought the ground beef on Friday. Today, the ground beef was turning grey and the expiry date was Sunday, but what the hey... I used it anyways.
Remember the Conan Rule: "If it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger."


^ Spaghetti with Mushroom Meat Sauce.

Useless Japan News:
Check this out: Pancake Flavoured Milkshake in a can. Drink it warm or cold. I kind of want to try this out. Maybe I'll order some... anyone else want one?
No?
Maybe you readers would like a warm can of Curry Risotto drink? Sounds kind of gross. Perfect for a dare that Jeno won't refuse :)

Useless Gaming News:
I picked up my boxes of the new Magic set: Mirrodin Besieged on Friday.


^ Mirrodin Besieged.
I didn't get a single Black Sun's Zenith and only 1 Green Sun's Zenith and 1 Inkmoth Nexus. I'm debating weither to get another box or pick up the singles... or both :) I also didn't get the common Island and 2 tokens!

Played some boardgames with Ben, Jane, Jeff, and Linda on Sat, but I forgot to take pics. We played a couple of games of Betrayal at House on the Hill and an epic game of Bang! Bang! came down to a super close battle between myself (the Sheriff) and Jane (the Renegade). I won by 1 life.


^ Jane's PB and Oatmeal Cookies.
Jane made some awesome cookies to snack on between games. Peanut Butter & Oatmeal cookies, Peanut Butter; Oatmeal & Chocolate Chip cookies (not pictured); and Peanut Butter & Oatmeal cookie sandwiches.

Picked up a couple of new Transformers.

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

It's the Year of the Rabbit.

Snow Day

Alot of strong wind gusts and snow fell today. I took a "Snow Day" from CMC. It was a good thing I banked some time last weekend. Now I only need to make up a couple of hours on Thursday.

OTT only got 12cm of snow, but it seemed like alot more since it snowed all day. I'm extremely disappointed with my snow clearing company I hired, "Capital S.L.C". I was waiting all day for them to come clear my driveway before I had to head out for my parent's place. At 4pm, they still had not shown up. After 4 years with them, I'm considering switching to another company next year.

Happy Ground Hog Day!!!
According to reports, we are expecting an early spring this year, as the groundhogs didn't see their own shadow this morning.

Breakfast today -> 4 Egg with 4 Cheeses Omelet.
Since I was home, I made myself some breakfast.


^ 4 Egg with 4 Cheeses Omelet.

After shoveling the walkway, I made myself a big 6 cup hot chocolate in my 2litre mug :)


^ One 6 cup Hot Chocolate.

Thursday is Chinese New Year. Today we had New Year's dinner at my parent's house.


^ Prayer Setup.


^ New Year's Dinner Meal.

It's not Wednesday

For some reason, I thought today was Wednesday all day today. I only realized this when Susanna and I were at T&T, and she told me it was Tuesday. No wonder I could find anywhere to download this week's AKBingo! It hadn't aired yet (@_@)

Dinner today -> Roast Turkey Legs.


^ Roast Turkey Legs.

Went to T&T after dinner. Notable things I got: Devil Tongue Noodles (really good in hotpot), Roasted Green Tea (1st time they restocked this since the summer; so I bought 3 bags), and Abalone Sauce (recommended by a famous Chinese chef/celebrity, but I can't remember his name).


^ Recommended Abalone Sauce.

Useless Idol Info:
As voted from this year's AKB48's Request Best 100 2011 Concert, here is AKB48's top 3 songs as performed just before Christmas from Music Station Super Live 2010. 7+ minute AKB48 performance of "Beginner (#2) -> Ponytail to Shushu (#3) -> Heavy Rotation (#1)". I meant to post this before Christmas and forgot, but these 3 songs happen to work out with the recently voted top 3 songs. Pretty good performance too.
