CONGRATULATIONS 
JUDY and GORDON!!!

Baby Nathan was born on May 11th, 6 pounds 2 ounces.

According to Gordon, Nathan has the following hobbies :)

• warden of the house and making sure everyone in the household gets no more than 2 hours of sleep per night and no more than 1 hour straight
• making sure to save enough extra pee so he can whiz in all directions like a loose firehose when trying to change his diapers
• screaming at the top of his lungs like he was auditioning for a heavy metal band
• turning normal humans into walking zombies without needing to infect them

I'll be busy til the weekend, so I'll have some automated posts for the next few days.

Weekend Report: AKB48 Members Attacked

Didn't do much this weekend, except work.  It's pretty handy to remotely log in and work from home.  I also watched alot of Fairy Tail anime when I got tired of work.  I just finished season 1 in the past week.  I'm way behind reading the manga, but the anime is really good.

Food this weekend ->
Made some fried rice with my leftover chicken rice. 

Fried Rice.

I added some frozen veggies, eggs, green onion, and polish sausage.

I also tried to Shake n' Bake a Turbot.  The powder/crumbs don't stick to the fish's skin very well, but it turned out not bad.  I made it with a Ranch version.

Idol News:
On Sunday, 2 AKB48 members were attacked at the Handshake Event by a 24yr old man wielding a 50cm saw.  Iriyama Anna and Kawaei Rina were the victims.  Both have broken right hands, cuts, and Iriyama also had lacerations to her head.  They each had 3 hour surgeries but are OK now.  The attacker has been captured and charged with attempted murder.  A couple articles about it here and here.

Happy Birthday Julie!!!

Emptied 2 Ink Tubes in a Pen

First time ever, I completely used up the ink in my pen from beginning to end.  Not just 1 tube of ink, but 2 of them.  I used up the black ink before Christmas, and the red ink was used up today.  This pen has really good grip and the ink flows smoothly.  Too bad you can't buy it here.  I ordered it from Japan, along with a few extra :)

Empty Pen.

Dinner today -> Chicken Rice
Steam some salted chicken in with the rice I cooked.  The rice absorbs all the extra chicken flavour that oozes out of the drumsticks.  Very tasty.

Useless Idol News:
Yuko bought her 1st AKB48 CD "Labrador Retriever" and she is going to use the ballot inside to vote in the election.  She only bought 1 CD and I only bought 4 CDs; unlike this crazy fan!

AKB48's 36th single "Labrador Retriever" was released yesterday and was performed on Ichiban Show.  Not liking the song that much or the official video, but I do prefer the live performance.

I still like last year's election song "Koi suru Fortune Cookie" alot.  The short version was also performed.

37th Single Preliminary Results

Lunch today -> Vermicelli
Got some takeout from OX Head.  It was the Ox Head special vermicelli.  There was alot of food in the container, especially the amount of meat in there.
