So I got this meme over at Strongly Worded Letter, which some of you might know better as Bean’s Blog, the same Bean from Kevin and Bean on KROQ in the morning.

Name one thing you do every day:

I could say a lot of things for this one. First is tell my wife I love her, because that’s something I do daily, she really is the apple of my eye. But other then that, I would say read news on Google Reader, I do that every day, my mind feeds on information and news.

Name five things/people that make you feel good:

This is an easy one. First and foremost, my wife. Next it has to be our assortment of animals, there is Princess Lilly, King Herbert, and Little Baby Buster. I’m going to continue copying Bean and also include music, I don’t think I go a day without it and it can cheer me up when I need it. Food is a big one too, whether it’s cooking something new or an old standard, or even going out to dinner and getting something. Lastly I’d have to say driving I love it when we just jump in the car and take a drive, I miss out circle Mondays that Kelly and I used to have when we were both off on Mondays.

Name four things you love to eat but rarely do:

First one has to be Chicken Teriyaki bowls, I love em, but I don’t have them as often as I used to. Fried chicken is another one, I might have it 3-4 times a year. And continuing with the theme of meat, carnitas is quite possibly the greatest type of cooked meat ever created by man, especially the carnitas over at Azteca over in Garden Grove!

Name three things that remind you of childhood:

First has to be what I did just about every day, bike riding. I used to ride my bike all over the place and I absolutely loved it, I think that’s why I like going for drives so much now that I’m an adult. Baseball cards were great back in the day, I could own my favorite players and not worry about if it was the best version of his rookie card. Watching baseball with my dad has to be on this list as well, it was something I’ll always remember.

Name two things you wish you could learn:

I still want to learn to play the guitar, so my cousin Tim and my friends could finally form the rock band Short One Crouton! Other then that, I’d love to learn how to be a little more relaxed, since I know I get stressed and appear to be high strung some times, even though I don’t feel like I get stressed, it would be nice to just be able to shrug stuff off and be easy going.

So Sean and I are going to E for All tomorrow.  Should be fun.  We are going to drive to Long Beach and take the Blue Line from there to the Convention Center, that will save us the frustration of driving to downtown LA and also of having to pay ridiculous parking prices!   I’m also going to try and send some pictures to the site and see how it works tomorrow.

Well we didn’t end up getting to Oktoberfest.  After eating at Sean’s it was about 9:10 when we got to the place and there was a huge line.  We waited for about 30 minutes and maybe was able to move about halfway through the line.  We got tired of waiting so we decided to go to another place in Huntington Beach called Martini Blues.  They had some comedy going on so we watched that, unfortunately it was the tail end of the show and the waitress was terrible, so we ended up leaving there quickly after the comedy finished up and headed to another place called the Surf City Roadhouse.  Sean and I shot pool while the girls talked.  We hung out there till about 1:30 and then since most of us will still awake we went over to Harbor House Cafe and had some late night breakfast.  After that we called it a night and Kelly and I tried our best to sleep in but I only got about 3 1/2 hours of sleep, yet felt wide awake once I gave up on sleeping.  Kelly didn’t feel real well after a night of 7 drinks so we just laid low for a bit and then headed to a couple Halloween places to see about getting stuff for costumes this Halloween.  After doing that we came back home and just vegged out the rest of the night.  I wasn’t feeling the best due to coming down with a head cold, that I’m still fighting with today (or maybe it’s allergies).

So last night after Kelly got home from work we headed to the gym and played more racquetball.  We played just over an hour, she’s still learning but she’s improving.  When we were first got there my friend Paul and I talked for a bit and set up to play racquetball this morning.  So I went to the gym again this morning and played more RB with Paul.  We played for a good 50 minutes again.  I’m starting to get my wind back so that’s good, he gave me a good work out but when it was all said and done I was the winner, but he’s also still learning.  More of his racquetball experience is playing some girls at the gym and none of them really play.  But I don’t mind helping people learn to play, I’ve done it a lot in the past and it’s one of the things that helps the sport along.  So now I’m exhausted!  Rest of the day I’m just going to relax and do some laundry before heading over to the Dog Grooming shop and helping Kelly clean up and close.  Tonight we are going over to Sean’s for some brats and then we are all heading over to Oktoberfest over at Old World Village in Huntington Beach.  Then tomorrow Kelly mentioned something about going to the Orange County Auto Show, so we’ll probably end up there for a couple hours.

Had a good time out last night, regardless of the overpriced bad service experience at The Melting Pot.

“What a complete waste of money and time!

I really wanted to enjoy my dinner at The Melting Pot. I had heard it was a pretty good place on a number of different occasions from other people, and also from the guy on KLSX 97.1 that does the food show on the weekends. I was ready to fall in love with The Melting Pot. But The Melting Pot decided to slap me across the face and shit in my double boiler!

If you want to read the rest of my review it’s posted here on Yelp.

Also my friend Sean got me the new Marvel Heroscape expansion!
