Del Scorcho downgraded

I haven't been to Del Taco in about a year. Usually they'll ask hot or mild at the drive-thru, and I say hot because the Del Scorcho isn't that hot. This time though I found two different sauces in my bag.



Once labeled as "Beyond Hot" the Del Scorcho is now labeled "medium." Poor Del Scorcho.
In it's place is the Del Inferno! I tried a little bit of it. It did seem a lot hotter. I think I like the Del Scorcho best. Here's an old pic of the Del Scorcho, before the downgrade.

Iron Gym

I bought the Iron Gym pull-up bar at Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday. I had a $10 off $30 coupon so it only cost $20 plus tax. It took about 10 minutes to put together. I put it up on the doorway, and found out that I could only do 2 pull-ups in a row. So sad. Now my Perfect Pushups and Body by Jake situp bench will have company while gathering dust.

Bball

Today I played basketball with Allen and Dee. It was my first time playing in about... 3 years? We shot around, then played 3 on 3 against random people. We actually won! I even scored a few! Halfway through the game I got reeeally tired. I think I almost tripped because my legs didn't move as fast as my brain thought it could. I'm so old and out of shape.


Here's a picture taken by Sat. It looks like I'm falling backwards because my short little arms are so weak I have to shove the ball as hard as I can to get it up in the air. :(

Happy Bday to me Part 2

This is a late post but oh well...
Last Saturday we went to Capital Seafood in MPK for my birthday. Ardith, Steph, Bung, Vicki, Allen, Steve, Sofie, Dennis, Dee, Sat, Vu, Shiz, and Hangyee all came and we had to squeeze into one table.



Sat says it's because everyone's free in October, not because everyone likes me. ;_; But it's okay, I would have done nothing for my birthday if Sat hadn't planned the dim sum. Thanks Sat!



I got some presents too this year! Target gift cards from Ardith and Dee because Sat put it on the evite, 360 controller and charger from Vu and Allen because I just got a 360, and jeans from Sat. Thanks everyone!

Happy Bday to Me

Allen was going to eat Rally's (so unhealthy) today so he dropped by to give me an early birthday present. Thanks Allen!



Now where's that darn UPS truck with my Xbox 360?

edit: Sat buzzed my apartment door and I thought it was the UPS guy, but sadly it was just Sat.

Wendy's Chicken McRib

McDonald's McRib is suppose to be back, but it's nowhere to be found in Southern California. Wendy's though, has these new Flavor-Dipped Chicken Sandwiches. It comes in either Buffalo, or BBQ. The BBQ one has onions and pickles, and looks just like a McRib. I heard they tasted just like the McRib, so I went and gave it a try.



I'd say it tasted about... 50% like a McRib. I was a little disappointed. The chicken just didn't go with the BBQ sauce like the magical processed fake meat that is the McRib.

Happy Face

This morning I was about to put on my contact lenses when I saw something funny, so I thought I should take a picture. Then I thought I should blog it so here it is. It's a happy face! Heeheehee!



In other news, I got laid off at my job yesterday, but strangely that doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I guess I've been waiting for it to happen for the last year. I got 10 weeks pay severance as a lump sum, and my 4 weeks of vacation time paid out to me, so that's a lot of money all at once. Hmm... time for a new TV?

Free Smoothie Coupon

I spotted "free smoothie" out of the corner of my eye before throwing the junk mail ads away today. Now I get to have a free real fruit smoothie at Jack in the Box. Yay!

Edit: I heard Shiz dug through trash and got 3 coupons. LOL.
Edit2: Shiz is going to dig through trash some more... LOLOL.

Buying Music Digitally

Today I bought a song and downloaded it digitally. Another first for this old man. It was from Amazon's mp3 download thing. I still haven't bought a song from iTunes... maybe I never will. I remember downloading a MP2 file back in the day. Man I feel old. Get off my lawn!

Dentist Visit

About 3 years ago I tried a new dentist office across the street from me. There was a really good dentist there, Dr Stephanie Lopez. Unlike other dentists who just scolded me and told me to brush and floss more, she actually explained to me how and why. She also did the exam and cleaning herself. Every since that time though, every time I made an appointment, I only got to see the hygienist, and never Dr Lopez. Lame. Then a few months ago they sent out a letter saying Dr Lopez had left the dental center. Hoping she was still in the area, I looked her up in the Delta Dental directory and there she was at Marina Del Rey. So I made an appointment and saw her last Thursday. She was still an awesome dentist like before, and my teeth were in good shape. Yay! So if you're looking for a good dentist, try Dr Lopez: 4640 Admiralty Way, Suite 714, Marina Del Rey, CA 90292. (310)821-0839. Here's the goodie bag you get for going there!
