Good bye another week and good bye another year. That's right it's 2010 and so long 2009 you were a crappy year for everyone which brings me to the end of the week review. Oh wait nothing happened this last week at all. Seriously it was a very boring week. I even had to work on New Year's Eve oh yeah that was a boring night thanks to some of the worst weather in a while. It snowed, it rained and just kept on raining so all of one person came into work. Boring but at least it was quit I guess. Anyways since I don't have any pictures of my own this week you're in luck since that means you get a cute Race Queen to keep you company.

So yeah.... what a week in review, I did it in all in one paragraph. Well maybe there was some other stuff in there as well. Took the roommate's Subaru to a mechanic to get it looked at and found out that it was just a clogged injector that was causing the issue. So thankfully it wasn't a big issue that would cost a crap load of money to get it fixed and while it was in the shop he also had them fix the CV joint and found out that the reason why the headlights keep flicker when you apply the brakes is just the battery needs to be replaced and not the alternator like I thought it might be. Now we are back to car karma square one.

Since I didn't get to celebrate on New Year's Eve I did the next best thing and drank my own damn bottle of champagne...er I mean sparkling wine when I got home. The funny thing is that I usually don't like sparkling wine but I tried Martini & Rossi's Asti which was by far the best sparkling wine that I've ever had. After that I simply crashed out and enjoyed my weekend.

And that pretty much made up my week. Pretty boring for an end of the year week isn't it. Anyways I thought I'd toss you a fun video to make up for it. Actually has anyone else been experiencing problems viewing YouTube videos with Firefox? Yeah Firefox has been crashing just about every time I watch a video of play a flash game. And I haven't found any good ways to fix the problem. Anyways video....

I found this great channel on YouTube that you should check out if you're into Asian cuties and here's a video from that channel...

Zoom goes another week right into the final stretches of the year and next week is Christmas holy cow. Of course that means I need to talk about last week now. This time I decided to wait until pretty much the end of the day to do the review since last Sunday I ended up doing something fun after posting the Weekly Review I also did some more photography work this week as well so you get something other than a Race Queen again.

So after posting the weekly review my roommate and I met up with some friends from the Idaho Motorsports forum for a bit of snow play since it had been snowing pretty good for the last couple of days. We all met up at a fast food joint and headed out to an abandoned warehouse parking lot well off the beaten path and played in the snow a bit until someone from probably the Fedex building next to the Warehouse called the cops and we had a nice little talk with a few officers and were sent on our way.

So that was interesting and all but the snow quickly turned to slush to nothing on the ground again by the end of the week thanks to rain storms during the rest of the week. Friday night I went to one of my roommate's new Dance Studio -- Heirloom Dance Studio and took some pictures for him to place up on his website. I think they turned out OK since I really haven't done much in that area of photography and I'm still only working with the one camera mounted flash. Tried some different things to make it interesting. I got a nice burger out of it. See I really will work for food. You can see all the picture in this set.

This week I also went and took my Grandma's car into have its snow tires put on and talked with her a bit. Yesterday after the anime club meeting which went OK got home and did a bit of drinking with the roommate's and even tried the Hookah out for the first time. Not to bad but you can still smell the smoke in the house and we all have a bit of cleaning up to do.

Last but not painfully least is that earlier in the week my heater blower motor finally crapped out on me so I ended up taking that out of the car on Friday and it was a huge pain in the ass that left me in some pain so now I need to pick up a new motor and put it all back together again.

On that note here's the last video of or snow play from Sunday when the cops showed up.

Did you all have a great St. Paddy's Day this week? I had to work so I got to celebrate a we bit early with my new Nendoroid Yoko and a green beer. I'll have to do a full post on Yoko later the green beer was just beer though so nothing to report on there. Actually I'm lying, the beer is from this morning and I'm drinking it while typing this because I freaking passed out and slept the entire St. Paddy's day away and never got around to drinking my damn green beer until today.

As for what else I did this week I did finally finish project Umbrella when I decided to stop by the local camera place and look for the lamp stand there and they had one for the same price that I found on eBay so saved a bit there and helped the local community too. I'll also post more on that later. I also had to have the car smogged a yearly boring waste of money adventure which of course I passed so spent $15 to waste gas.

This week in TV land I watched the finale of Battlestar Gallactica and thought it was pretty good up until the end and we find out they land on our Earth at the time of early human development. So I don't know I was happy about most of it but meh I think they could have done just a bit more. Of course since I watched that I completely and utterly forgot about something else that I wanted to watch and that was Truth in 24 the freaking awesome documentary of of the 2008 Le Mans 24hr race from Audi's perspective. And you guessed it more on that later as I downloaded it the next day and watched it a bit later.

After that it was pretty much the same old same old. The weather is getting nicer thankfully and things are looking to get more exciting as next week is the first autox event of the year and I get to test out the umbrella for the first time. Oh well that's it for last week wonder how nest week will go.

Don't forget to vote every day for the Moko Top Girl by the way.

An entirely uneventful week. I'm being totally serious one of the slowest none event weeks of the year. I did use that time to organize my image folders to find suitable HOTD content and will be doing an entire week on the lovely Hwang Mi Hee followed next week with an entire week of Aki Hoshinho another lovely lady. Oh I haven't actually talked about the ad down on the bottom right for Absinthe yet have I. Well apparently if you leave the companies ad banner on your webpage for a month you'll receive a free absinthe spoon (a $9 valueish) and then if you leave the ad there for an entire year they will send you a free bottle of their absinthe. For a free bottle of Absinthe (not cheap stuff) for no work at all, why the hell not. Honestly as it is I'll probably get the free bottle of Absinthe before I reach $100 on adsense and get a check from Google. But then I'm not really doing this for the money otherwise I'd really be doing this blogging thing differently. Anyways if you want to try out the absinthe ad banner your self you should check out their webpage here for more information. It hasn't even been close to a month so no spoon for me yet but once I get it (if I get it) I'll definitely post about it.

I did take advantage of the deepdiscount 25% discount sale this week as well since I had a bit extra cash handy and ordered 2 DVDs from them as I couldn't really find anything else in stock that I wanted. Those should be here week after next. I ordered a couple older anime tittles the original Blood: the last Vampire and Kite Liberator both great films and definitely looking forward to the Live Action Blood movie and the much wanted sequel to Kite Liberator when come out. Also since I had a discount on ebay I also ordered the original and uncut DVD of Kite and Mezzo Forte. I've never seen the uncut versions but I've heard plenty about them to know to get that version instead of the normal release version that you would find at Best Buy. And while I was on ebay I also ordered a set of Gurren Lagann magnets as well. So it will be an interest haul for me in the next week that's for sure.

One last thing I did find an umbrella holder that I can use to attach my Tein Umbrella to a light stand to use as a portable shade device while out filming things under the sun next year. Now all I have to do is pick up some light stands and I'm ready to rock next year. That's it for this week next week is Thanksgiving and Black Friday so that will be an interesting time for family followed by that one crazy day of shopping hell, so it will be interesting to see what happens. I'll be heading off to my aunt and uncle's for Thanksgiving lunch/dinner and family time but I'm going to be missing Black Friday which is just fine by me.

Since I can't find a suitable image for posting with this blog have an extra image of Hwan Mi hee.

OUCH! What a pitiful slow week with nothing exciting to blog about. Slept though the autocross on Sunday didn't really do anything at all on my days off except for sleep, eat and clean the house up a bit. Went back and donated some more plasma this week and had a lovely time doing that...not. This week kinda sucked for donating plasma actually, the first time I got poked really hard and the needle kept rubbing on the vain's wall everytime the machine would stop and start which made it hurt like never before. Then the second time while it didn't hurt nearly as much I didn't stop completely bleeding for some time (like 12 hours later) for what ever reason. Did get a nice chance to gross out the roommate though. So that was a bloody mess.

The one good redeeming moment of this week is that I found and purchased Blavod (black vodka) I've been hunting for this Vodka for a few years and while there was one place in town getting it it all went to some restaurant and the owner wouldn't let me buy one of his bottles without paying an arm and leg for it. Anyways it finally showed up at the liquor store minus the greedy owner so I had to get it. Straight up it's OK, I've had better. Mixed it's great but you have to be careful what you mix it with. A screwdriver is great until it looks you just puked your guts up into your glass. Don't mix it with OJ OK!

Here's a stupid story for you I decided to visit the local hobby store to see if they had gotten in anything cool and while they did get a few more Gundam and Deathnote things in there wasn't anything of interest to me there. So I though oh what the heck lets check out the liquor store. Now the liquor store and the hobby store used to be at complete opposite ends of the stripmall and as I was feeling lazy and didn't want to walk. Well what I didn't know is that liquor store moved...next door to the hobby store. I noticed this as I was in the car pulling out of the parking lot. Felt so stupid.

This week I also decided to join the local anime club. They don't have another meeting until the 1st of Nov so I can't report on that until next week but hopefully it'll be fun and something different to do on Saturday nights when I'm bored and don't have anything else to do.

Only one more week before we get to vote for the next president and only a few more until the end of the year. Still trying to think of something cool to add to the blog site for the next year and maybe some more photography and video stuff as well. Mmmm looks like I need to rewrite some goals.
