So I never fully understood the Garfield joke “Die with a ‘t'” until now.

The lab results says my cholesterol is 241. My HDL is 46 (way low) and my LDL is 163 (way high). Everything else in my blood test was normal. So now I need to lose 10 pounds, exercise pretty much almost daily for 30 to 40 minutes, and not eat as many saturated foods… A diet. Die with a ‘t’. I need to schedule a follow-up doctor’s appointment in 3 months. *sigh* I think I’ll schedule a complete physical that day, too.

Walking around Nijiya while shopping for dinner foods sucked. There were all these yummy looking snacks and candies lying about… It calls to me… Today I was strong, but tomorrow? I hope I still am… *sigh* It’s going to be a long 3 months.

About two weeks ago, I went to the Irvine Spectrum with a few of my high school friends after looking at the Fun With Chalk event and we came across a chocolate store. I’m not one to turn down any kind of chocolate so we walked in. I’m finishing up my 2nd bar now and I want more! They have got to be one of the best chocolates I’ve tasted. I got a nutmeg chocolate bar and a spicy maya chocolate bar. Mmm, guuud.

I finally managed to get the Playstation 3 from one of my coworkers for the good price. It took a while to even get it off of him, which I totally blame his friend for, but at least I saved money now.

Right now I’m setting it up to play Final Fantasy XI. The keyboard I’ve been using to play FFXI seems to lock up the PS3, so I’m going to have to go buy a new one… (It was a sucky keyboard, at least now I have a better reason to get a new one than the keys are stiff.) I’m also going to have to pick up a PS3 HDMI cable so I can view the pretty Blu-Ray DVDs… Like Pirates of the Caribbean. *drool*

I was a bit worried that the movie would turn out as bad as Spiderman 3 after I saw rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but actually it wasn’t all that bad. I enjoyed it. It definitely wasn’t at the level of the first movie, but I think it was good overall. The fight scenes were a bit longer than I would have liked, and the story line was a bit twisty.

After the movie, I wanted to get the PotC: At World’s End video game for the Wii. I knew it wasn’t going to be that great and the guy at the video game store was like, “are you sure?” … Maybe the next time that happens, I’ll just go… ‘Hmm, you’re right!’ and Just drop everything and leave the store.

I got an e-mail this morning from Lauren. She gave birth to a healthy baby girl! Like, wow! I totally need to send her some baby stuff. Some cute baby stuff! I saw some of her pictures on Picassa. Her baby is so cute. How exciting. ^^ I hope she posts more pictures soon.

I got a letter from Saint John’s Hospital about my blood donation… My blood type is AB positive (I already knew that), and my cholesterol level is… 228! >_< Noooo!! That’s higher than before, but this test was done while I wasn’t fasting so my real score might be lower. I hope it’s under 200… >_<; I need to go set up an appointment with my doctor to have a real blood work up done.

OH MY GOSH! I’m so excited by the news that Starcraft 2 was finally announced earlier today. I think I’m going to cry. And even better, it’s going to be released on the Mac at the same time as the PC. I love you, Blizzard!! I think I could huggle you right now.

Eeek! There are still episodes that I haven’t watched of ‘Hanayome wa yakudoshi!’ It’s so early in the morning, I need to go to bed. Such a good drama. I might has well watch the episodes I have watched over again when I get to it.

I love ‘Hanayome wa yakudoshi!’. The standard Japanese fluff that I occasionally love. I only managed to catch the last few episodes on KSCI, so I rented the DVD from Video Japan to see the beginning. Tonight I finished episode 4, or ‘momo 4’ as the series likes to call it. ^_^ The main character is very cute and spunky. The main male character looks rather cute, too, but he kinda looks like he has eye liner going around his eyes. Actually, I thought he looked kinda funny at first, but after watching more of the story unfold, he became cute.

I miss Shinta. I miss him so much. He was so cute and angry and lovable. I took a picture of him and turned it into a watercolorish painting in Photoshop.

There will be more to come.
