Win #5!

Useless Softball News:
CMC Strike Fighters beat Chipworks 23-15 today.  Thanks to Tyler bringing in his family to fill out our incomplete roster.  I believe that with win #5, we are now tied with 2nd last place.  With 1 more win, we will be out of the basement.
I hit 4-for-4 tonight with 3 singles and a double.

Dinner today -> Cold Egg White Noodles.
I made some cold egg white noodles after the game.  Added some sugar snaps I got from Costco, and opened a can of lobster meat to top it off :)

Maeda Atsuko will graduate from AKB48 next Monday at the AKB Theatre.  Since the theatre can only hold 250 people, Maeda was granted a small parade circling Akihabara before her last theatre performance, so she can thank all her fans who couldn't win tickets to her final show.

Also announced today, Maeda's graduation show at the AKB Theatre will be streamed live on Google+ and Youtube.  The show starts at 6pm JST, so about 5am EST.  The show will probably be a big crying-fest for all the members on Team A.
Now I'm debating if I need to take a 1/2 day off on Monday or not...

The full video of Maeda's graduation song, "Yume no Kawa".  Watch it!

I was listening to this song for most of the day on repeat.  This song is great, and the video is perfect for it.  I like it alot.  I'm not a big Maeda fan, but she looks really pretty in this video, especially at 03:10+.  I need a higher quality of this video.
This site has the lyrics translated.

Weekend report:

Food this weekend ->
Got some T&T food.  I got Vietnamese style pork chops with lemon grass, chow mein, and female capelin.  The pork chops were better than I thought they would be, but I couldn't taste the lemon grass.

T&T Food.

I wanted to BBQ some chicken wings on Sunday, but it started raining :(  I nuked them instead with some mushrooms mixed in BBQ sauce, hot sauce, and 1/2 can of Coke. It was spicy and sweet.

Anthony, Ben, and I did some gaming.  We started with Inner Circle.  Ben won.

Inner Circle.

Moved on to a few rounds of RoboRally.  We started with weapon options for all the games.  Anthony won 3 games in a row, because he kept drawing the right weapons for the level.  I won the final game.

The face of AKB48, Maeda Atsuko, had her last performance with AKB48 on Music Station was this weekend.  The girls performed "Flying Get", "Ponytail to Shushu", and Maeda's graduation song "Yume no Kawa". 
The "Yume no Kawa" performance was cut down super short and I didn't think Maeda was going to finish it.  It'll be included as the coupling song for Gingham Check Type A.  I'll post the full video later.  This song is really good.
(Credit to whoever uploaded this on Youtube.  I couldn't find a better version to rip.)

Stolen Gum

Someone swiped my last piece of Bubblicious Gum from my desk at work!  I only noticed it today, so it could have been a little while ago.

Gum Wrapper.

But the joke is on the thief.  It was my Bubblicious "Ink'd" Gum that he/she took, and it turns your WHOLE MOUTH BLUE when you chew it :)  Ha ha sucker!

Limited Oreos for Breakfast

Breakfast today -> Oreo with DQ Blizzard Creme.
Susanna got me this package limited edition Oreo's with DQ Blizzard creme.  These are really good.  The creme is tiny little crunchy candy bits, not alot, but just enough so it has a slight little crunch and change the texture of the creme.  The creme is more thick and smooth too.  I need more :)

Lunch today -> Scores 2 Leg Meal.
I made a trip to Best Buy and Big Al's Aquarium at lunchtime to pick up some stuff.  I stopped at Scores for a 2 leg meal.

Scores 2 Leg Meal.

I ate the chicken legs and about 1/3 of the fries.  I gave the rest of the fries and gravy to Marc.  I found out later that he somehow spilt all the fries, including the gravy, all over his pants and floor!  LOL  I wish he took a picture.

Bad Timing Dave

I think I agree with the trees in the CMC parking lot.  I'm tired of summer already and I'm ready for autumn.  One tree is already turning orange, while another has dropped most of it's leaves.

Useless Softball News:
CMC Strikefighters lost again tonight against Da Knobs 19-8.  We were winning 8-4 until we collapsed in the 6th and 7th innings.  None of our 3 regular pitchers could make the game, so Sean pitched most of the game and Alex was relief for 1 inning.  Sean was pretty good and only had 1 bad inning.  Our defence for that inning was mostly at fault too.
I only hit 1-for-3: Ground out, Single, and Pop Fly.
Dave wanted to umpire for us when the hot catcher chick on the other team was catching, but he couldn't get his timing right.  Whenever he went to ump, the hot girl played 2nd.  When Dave was not umping, the she was catching.  Bad timing Dave :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL!!!
