Hmmm . . . ok what's up with this, now all those strange people that were looking for Ayumi Hamasaki Porn have found my page too. They're supposed to find Sam not me. Although apparently searching for Ayumi Hamasaki Porn finds a lot of peoples blogs. So if you want to find a blog look up Ayumi Hamasaki Porn and you're sure to find several.
Amusing moment right now, me talking to Sam about the fact that her old blog is the 2nd and her new blog is the 3rd one down on a Google search for Ayumi Hamasaki Porn:
Dini : you know what we just found out? if you look up ayumi hamasaki porn on google your page is the 3rd one down
Yojutsusha : hee hee hee
Yojutsusha : I WIN!!
Dini : *laughs hysterically*
Yojutsusha : Eh, I am just having to remind myself to put the bg in each part of the table at hte moment so I tend to be a bit hurried and distracted. =^^=;;
Dini : tis ok, it was rather funny, chris and i had a very good laugh
Yojutsusha : WAI! XDDD I am becoming more accomplished as a no-porn desired porn advertisment!
Ok just had ta share that with you.
Amusing moment for the weekend, watching AJ going through Raley's with one of the "Customer in Tranining" shopping carts designed for little kids. We were haveing a movie night and needed food and AJ didn't want to carry a basket so instead of taking a normal sized shopping cart she decided to take the very small one. Hee hee, it was kinda funny, we got all kinds of strange looks. Oh well, we had fun trying to figure out what to get for dinner. Hmm . . . let's see, look there's a 2 for $5 special on half gallon ice cream containers. Mmmmm . . . cupcakes. Need some candy . . . and eventually we got around to picking up some veggies and more healthy stuff.
*Ganks Chris's brand new Game Boy Advance* Yay! Tetris! I'm all about Tetris.
Ok well I think that about does it for the excitement in my life. Time to go build a Gundam.

Yay, pay day today, I actually have money now. The only good thing about working. Although as much fun as it isn't to be constantly moveing large pieces of wood I'll be quite happy when school starts and I get to stop working.
Sam the dorms open up September 19-22. I'll probably drive up to Oregon on the 20th and move in the 21st. Classes begin on the 24th.

Hee hee, people at work are haveing a tough time trying to figure out how Chris and I are related to each other. Around 6 or 7 people think we are brother and sister, 2 people think we are boyfriend and girlfriend, and 1 person today asked Chris if we were married. So far only 1 person has bothered to ask rather than just assume one thing or the other. It's kinda funny what people think sometimes. Although I wonder why a majority of them think we are brother/sister cuz we look nothing alike.

Amusing search engine hit for the day: "dini winamp skin" now is that amusing or what?
On to other matters, Chris and I had an adventure today after work. We went on a Pocky Hunt and ended up at Asahe-Ya, the only asian food market that I know of in Stockton. We managed to find the Pocky and I found something else that's kinda cool. On the shelf across from the Pocky was a box containing SD Gundam hard candy. Well I was curious to see if a SD Gundam came with the candy. So I bought a box and as it turnes out it was more like the candy came with the Gundam. The box was mostly for the Gundam and had only a miniscule amount of candy. I found it rather funny, here I was expecting a lot of candy and the slight possiblilty of a Gundam, and got the exact opposite. The Gudam is rather cool too. It comes with a little dude that can sit inside of it. When he's outside the gundam doesn't have any eyes cuz it's powered-down and when you put the little dude inside of it the eyes pop up and it turnes on. (Ok so I'm easily amused, shoot me).
The other cool thing was the lady at the cash register, she heard us having fun attempting to pronounce the skewed Katakana on the packages and asked us if we were taking Japanese. After we told her that we had just finished our first year and hadn't practiced in a long time she told us we could come in any time and talk to her to practice our stuff. Me thinks we shall visit there often if for no other reason than to practice.
Ok well so much for the exciting part of the day. The rest of it was as boring as ever. I think about the only other exciting thing happening is me playing Majora's Mask.
Oddity for the day:
"Hello, I am Galstaff, Sorcerer of Light."
"Then how come you had to cast magic missle?"
Friday, August 3, 2001
Wow haven't bloged in a long time. Not much exciting going on right now. Work and D&D, that's about it. I am playing Majora's Mask now too but that's not all that exciting to blog about, especially since I just barely started it.

Hee hee, been playing with my new RPG Maker. Sam I can now officially say that you are an RPG character in a video game. You're a little blue samurai with high strenght and defense for a 1st level character. You're stronger than everyone else at that level. I've been having waaay too much fun with this thing making all kinds of stuffs. *evil grin*
Anyways not much going on in life. I have to go to work tomorrow (ick) and I'm not really looking forward to it. At least it's money. Haven't had time to read much in the way of blogs. If I'm lucky I can read them once a week, maybe twice. Somehow I manage to blog stuff, I just never have time to read. Oh well. Since there isn't a whole lot to report I'll leave with that.
Friday, July 27, 2001 Sam one other thing I was going to mention and forgot to before I left earlier. I picked up 2 D&D adventures for our group. One is a 7th level adventure that you guys can run through after you finish the one that I still have to make the ending for. The other is a really long adventure that will take you guys from 4th to 14th level (with new characters of course) so I should be covered for D&D for a while next year.

Yay, no overtime today or tomorrow.
Hmmmm, hadn't though about using ICQ, I don't ever see them on so I don't think about it. Can you email me Dyneé's email address anyways?
Mmmmm, KKJ, I really want to see those. I'll have to see if Grapevine has them for rent (wait, what am I saying, the owner of Grapevine is Sachi, of course they'll have them *binks forhead*).
Dude, Tamara blogged a lot. She's wordier than Sam.
Saw "Planet of the Apes" today in the nice new spiffy stadium seating 12plex in Lodi. Why Lodi got the nice new theater and not Stockton I'll never know. But anyways the movie was pretty spiffy. Nothing like the original but that's what I was expecting. Man talk about a guy who can really screw up history. Twas a movie worthing seeing, at least I think so.
Jen get a job where you have to get up at 3 am to go to work, I guarantee that you won't have any problems falling asleep early.
Ok well that's all for now. I'm off to the nickel arcade to play Dance Dance Revolution.

Ne, Sam do you have Dyneé's or Miranda's email addy? I wan't to see if she has email addys for people who might want Squirrelman T-Shirts. Screenprinting can be expensive and the more people who want them the cheaper it'll be. I also want to get possible shirt sizes for people so that I can eventually go down and ask for an estimate. Then I can give people a price before they decide to order them. If any of you out there reading this want a Squirrelman T-Shirt just email me and I'll add you to the list. Basically the shirt is going to have the Squirrleman logo on the front and a pic of Squirrelman on the back.

Injury for the day: well ok, so it's not that big of a deal, I managed to end up with a blood blister on the end of my finger from stacking wood. It hurt for a few minutes and then just annoyed me for the rest of the day (and I managed to get it about an hour after I started work). I had to be careful of it because I didn't want to pop it and get blood all over the wood (as funny as the thought of someone opening a box and finding blood would be). Considering the fact that this is the second injury in the past 3 days I've dubbed this week "Dini's accident prone week."

Well I worked 10 hours again today. I also found out that I have to work 10 hours a day for the rest of the week and I have to work 8 hours on saturday. I'm going to be quite tired by the time the usual D&D game comes this saturday (and it's even at my house too). Oh well, I'll be earning $120 in overtime for the week and $96 for saturday. Not too bad considering. Besides I can't really back out of it since my bosses both had to go through to let me work. I'm part of a union and union rules state that employees with seinority get first dibs on overtime work. Well they like me better than some of their normal workers because I actually do my job to the best of my abilities and they don't.
The first time Robert (boss #1) tried to get me to work overtime Queenie (the nosey neighbor on the line next to me) got upset and complained to Robert. So there went that idea. However he and Rafiel (boss #2) managed to work things out so that if they ever are going to offer me overtime in Queenie's presence they'll offer for me to go to a department that she doesn't like. They'll give her the same offer too, then she can't complaine. When the coast is clear they snag me and put me where the want me.
Ok well so much for work conspiracys (and all to allow me to work overtime, it's kinda funny). Well beyond that my life is pretty boring. I think I've babbled enough for now, so I'll head off to get some sleep.
No, unfortunately no free stuff yet and I don't think there will be. This time it's a real job not a "sit outside in the dirt and sun reading books and directing the occasional lost person" sort of job. Oh well, at least I'm making good money.

Another boring day at work, well for the most part anyways. However instead of working my usual 8 hours in Packaging I worked 10 hours in Sample Finishing sanding stuff. I am now completely covered with saw-dust (I seem to get the summer jobs that involve some kind of dust). At least it was a nice change of pace. I got to sand furniture at my lesiure instead of rushing to put stuff in a box.
Overtime was actually kind of interesting and fun. After about a half hour of more sanding I ended up on an assemly line where we made sample furniture (the stuff you see in the stores, not the stuff in the boxes out back). I discovered that while you (the consumer) use a hammer and nails to put this stuff together we (the manufacturers) put it all together with a lot of glue and staples. Scary thing, they let me work with the glue and staples, namely in the form of guns. This wasn't your ordinary glue gun either, this was the industrial huge vat-o-glue with 2 guns attached by cables with at least an inch of insulation to keep from burning people. This stuff was ranging between 330 degrees and 350 degrees farenheight. Needless to say it was hot. (Of course I managed to keep from burning myself right until the very last piece of furniture when some of the glue dripped on the back of my hand. And 350 degree glue hurts). I managed to keep my supervisor from finding out about it (cuz I just kept working) until he saw me pulling the glue from my skin. I have a nice blister there now. The staple gun wasn't quite so dangerous (thankfully) but still fun to work with.
Ok so that was the highlight of my day. Now it's off to take a shower and remove all the saw dust from my hair.

Hee hee, in my bordem waiting for the D&D game to start (I'd leave and come back but my car is trapped by the next door neighbors cars cuz they're having a party) I've discovered the location of a Kinokuniya in San Francisco. Can we say "Field Trip"? I've even got an e-mail address so that I can get directions (I'm not planning on getting lost again. Once was enough). Hopefully this time I can actually find a parking place at the Bart Station so that I don't have to drive all the way there and run through 3 red lights before I finally figure out where they're hiding the stupid things.

Eeek I am waaaay behind on blogs and anything internet related, or anything other than sleep related. I'm always too tired to do anything other than sleep when I get home normally and by the time I'm awake someone wants to do something with me (weather it be Chris or AJ & Jen [the two of them are actually home at the same time for the whole summer, e-gads what is the world comming to]). Needless to say I've had no time to do anything I planned on doing. Although I suppose it's better than the alternative which happened to me last summer (had nothing to do and no job, it was quite boring).
Anyways, enough of that babbling at you. On to something a little more important (ok so maybe it's not all that important, but I'm pretending it is). Sam, Sachi has put out 8 through 11 of KKJ, so if you want I can pick those up for you too. I get paid on wednesday and I pass by on the way to and from work (however only someone who was crazy would open up shop at 3:00 am) so I could pick all of them (7-11)up on for you at the same time for you if you want.
Took my car in to be fixed yesterday (it was squeeking at me). Turns out that the right front break was 98% worn and the left front was 95% worn (the back ones were only 10%). On top of that the right front roter was bad and my alignment was shot. Needless to say it badly needed repares. So it's a happy fixed car now (if still a dirty car). I'm hopeing that this weeked I can make it a happy clean car too but that only happens if I can get out of bed before noon.
Not much else exciting going on, got D&D tomorrow but that's about it.
