Strike Fighters 2011 Season Opener

CMC Strike Fighters opened the softball season today against a new team to the league: A-Team. We played through the rain and won 32-25. It was a hitters game. Alot of hits and home runs for both teams, but we destroyed their starting pitcher and 2 relievers.
Today, I was Walked and hit 2 Singles and a Double.
Honourable Mention #2: Jeno with 2 Home Runs!
Honourable Mention #1: Steve with a Grandslam!
MVP: All 4 of our girls. Great fielding and hitting.

Dinner today -> Subway Cold Cut Trio.
Didn't feel like making anything after the softball game, so I picked up Subway.
My usual order: "Cold Cut Trio on white. Everything but the olives. Mayo and pepper."

Useless Idol News:
It was announced AKB48 will be the official messengers of the Japanese Red Cross. I read the article about this, and what made me say, "Holy Crap!" was that after the tsunami disaster, the girls raised over "187.3 Billion Yen" for the Red Cross (about $2.2 Billion CDN). That amount is incredible! Holy Crap!

Brand New Twins!

Congratulations!!! x2
Steve and Kristina had their twins today. 1 girl and 1 boy. Names TBD.
Mom, dad, sister, dog, and babies are doing fine.


^ Twins!

Dinner today -> Deer Steak, Potatoes, and Veggies.
I defrosted a deer steak I had in the freezer. This one seemed way more salty than the other deer steak I had a few weeks ago.

The Series 2 AKB48 Solo Cards were released this past Saturday. I only found out Sunday night, and both Yuko and Kashiwagi sets are already sold out! I requested a special order from 2 of my online stores, but they won't order them for me :(
I'm hoping Gavin would do me a huge favour and order 1 box of Kasai Tomomi for me (and maybe Oshima Yuko if it gets restocked ^_^ ).


^ Kasai and Yuko Cards.

If anyone wants to get me a Birthday gift and have connections in Japan, I'm also interested in getting Kashiwagi Yuki (currently sold out), Kitahara Rie, Takahashi Minami, or Maeda Atsuko card sets. Go ahead and feel free to discuss it among yourselves :)


^ Yukirin and Rie Cards.

Useless Japan News:
I watched this show on NHK called "GOCHI, Dinner is on YOU tonight!". It's a food game show where 2 comedians (Ninty-Nine), 3 regulars, and a weekly special guest order and critic a meal from a top restaurant. After eating a dish, they have to guess how much it is worth on the menu. Each person orders 3-4 dishes and they show how the chef makes the dish. (I'm not sure if they have to guess for every dish or just their own dishes.)


^ "Gochi, Dinner is on YOU tonight!"
At the end of the show, they reveal who guessed closest to the bill total and they win a prize. They then reveal the next closest until the one who guessed with the most difference in price is revealed and has to pay for everyone's meal.


^ Final 2 Players Praying and Revealed.
This show is really entertaining and the food looks awesome! This is the 2nd episode I've seen and the same girl lost 2 weeks in a row! LOL

Weekend Report: More Glass Catfish

Last Thursday, Blogger was down, so I couldn't post.

I spent 3hrs re-arranging/cleaning my fish tank. I added dark blue gravel to the bottom. It makes the tank look alot cleaner and the fish stand out more.
I also got 3 more Glass Catfish too. They are so neat, I had to get more before they were all gone.


^ Tank Redesign.

Useless Gaming News:
Got the new Magic: the Gathering cards on Friday, "New Phyrexia". I got 2 booster boxes and a Fat Pack. Alot of good cards in this set. I really wanted a Karn Liberated, but I didn't get one!

Went to the big Card Show at Lansdowne Park with Gordon. Not too much there, but I picked up a few Magic singles and 3 (knockoff) rookie cards :) Patrick Roy, Wayne Gretzky, and Mario Lemieux Rookie cards.

I Got Super Garlic Breath. Villains Beware!

Congratulations Thu!
Thu got a new job today doing testing and QA.

Dinner today -> Liver and Garlic Chives.
I tried re-creating a dish I had in Chinatown. It tasted similar, but I think I needed to thicken the sauce and add some more salt or oyster sauce. The garlic chives are really good and have a super strong garlic flavour.


^ Liver and Garlic Chives.
After eating this dish, I had super garlic breath. I tried to cover it up with some chocolate ice cream, but the garlic breath just blasted through it.

I Can See the Skeleton!

I got some new fish for my aquarium today: 3 Glass Catfish. They are pretty cool. The body is transparent so you can see their bones!


^ Glass Catfish.

Dinner today -> Walmart Snow Crab Legs.
This was so worth it. For $20, there was alot of large crab legs in the package.
