I am eagerly awaiting my golf clubs which I finally ordered earlier this week. For those golf geeks, I got a set of used Callaway X-16. There is just something about ordering something online.. and then waiting for it… and then checking the fedex/ups website to see your package travel across the nation that makes me even more eager to get whatever you got. And now, with Gmail and their super clever detection of tracking numbers, it is just one click away to see where that package is. Heck, to be completely honest, I found myself checking where my mom’s books were that I ordered for her from Amazon…. why?… I have no idea to this day. Anyway, I hope I am not the only one that has this “problem.”
Man’s Best Friend
This weekend Laurie flew off to Las Vegas to have a fun time with her friends from Berkeley. As a result, I have had the luxury of dog-sitting Toby for the entire weekend. I have figured out why dogs have become man’s best friend and the answer is simple. This guy is ALWAYS excited to see me. Who wouldn’t like that! He wags his tail furiously when I get home, when I throw his toys around, and even when I wake up. This guy just doesn’t care that.. well… I just am not that exciting. Makes me feel like I live a “happenin” life.
Also, here are some great pictures from the Sharks game that Laurie got me tickets to. Go Sharks!
You can see the players skating around after coming out of the shark head…
My boy Cheechoo scored a friggin hat trick this game. That beast.
Happy that the Sharks won. Had a great time.. thanks Lars!

To Drink or Not To Drink?
While waiting in line the other day to get a pearl milk tea from Fantasia, I started talking to Bert (who has officially become a Nor-Cal resident) about how many calories were in one of these pearl filled drinks. We didn’t come to any conclusive answer, but for those people that crave random trivia or always wonder “how many calories is in this thing”… read on.
I couldn’t find any published Fantasia nutritional facts online, but based on the various sources, it turns out that these pearl milk teas might have quite a few more calories than you would expect. According to Nutrition.com.sg, one of these drinks has 340 calories. While other sites neglect to say a specific number, they explain that the majority of the calories come from the following:
1. the milk which can ranges in calories based on what type: low fat, non fat, etc.
2. the pearls which may have 7-14 calories for each pearl!! (the number of pearls per drink ~ 30?)
Basically, with these figures, some sites claim that one drink can get upwards of 500-800 calories depending on the size.
Some more drink trivia:
Grande Caramel Macchiato w. 2% Milk – 225 Calories
Krispy Kreme Glazed Donut – 200 Calories
In-N-Out Burger Vanilla Shake – 680 Calories
Diet Dr. Pepper – 0 Calories
New Header
Made myself a new and improved header for the site today… hope you don’t find it lame. BTW, legos are the bomb.
Beauty and the Geek?
I have been watching Beauty and the Geek this season and have become a fan… however, this past week I discovered from a trustworthy source, that one of the “geeks” is not a real geek. Apparently, this “geek” was a varsity soccer player AND dated a cheerleader. I don’t know how you guys define “geek” but that sure doesn’t sound like one to me….
I have always had this suspicion that the show “geekifies” the geeks in order to make their transformation more dramatic. This can also be referred to as the “She’s All That” effect. My theory is that the show has a lot of incentive to do this in order to make the show more entertaining and improve the possiblity of a geek & beauty romance which apparently also happens in the first season. Coincidence? I think not.
Anyway, I still am going to watch the show, but it is not as cool as I thought it was.
