Sushi

Saturday, a few friends dropped by to just hang out, play a little rockband – that is before my drum pedal completely gave out. The poor thing has literally been stomped on to death. We went up to Frank and Sons for some comics and other random junk. Afterward, we decided to hit up a local Pho restaurant, but upon getting there, they were closed. So the group decided they wanted to do the food court in Mitsuwa – in Costa Mesa, about 25 miles away. So we pile back into the car and head over. Having our fill, we went into the market to look around, and looking at all the fresh fish, we decided to do sushi. So we grabbed the raw materials and headed home.

Weekend Update

The weekend was fairly low key. Some friends came over to hang out on Friday and Saturday. I went out and picked up a pressure pot to help my mold making and resin casting. The pressure pot will help squeeze out air bubbles in the mold and resin and hopefully result with the molds and resin casts parts in higher quality. I was originally planning on hitting up the slow dive boat out to Catalina, but I used that money on the pressure pot and other things. Additionally, the boat dive to Catalina pretty much takes up the entire day from 5 in the morning until about 6; I had other things that I needed to do on Sunday. So a nice morning dive took care of the itch to swim with the fishes. Hugo and Beanie tagged along to the beach.

ARRRRR, Thay Be Driving Me Nuts…

So last night, my mom and some of her younger co workers had tickets for the Pirate Dinner Adventure, which is basically Medieval Times but with pirates instead of knights, and a big ship stage surrounded by a moat instead of a dirt arena and horses. Oh, and there’s singing, so it’s basically Pirates of the Caribbean the Musical…. I have been to Medieval Times, and I have been to a few Broadway Musicals; I think a better time could be had at the local Renaissance Faire as you get to see jousting, and probably your fair share of folks running around in pirate garb – and all this with minimal Musical interference.
