    I’ll start a new segment called Boba News today.

    Fresco: After a few bad boba drinks, I finally started telling Shawn that the boba tasted flat. He figured out that if you serve the boba right out of the pot it has no flavour. As a result of this realization his boba is now consistantly good. Today he mentioned that my critisism is good for his business. Also he showed me the raw ingredients of their milk tea… He says it has very little sugar.

    AZN Boba: She had the same problem as Fresco. But after talking about it, I haven’t had any “raw” boba accidents since. AZN has the best milk tea in town, but their Jasmine Green Tea is lacking. It is only served with milk, which to me is a mistake.

    Lollicup: A new lollicup is being put in at Warner and Alma School.. Less than a mile from my house. The current one is on 99th Ave. And Thunderbird so this will be much closer.

    Mocha Jumbies: I’ve given up on this place. They are consistantly horrible. Their boba is not very good and their teas are only powders. Nothing is fresh brewed there.

    So that’s it for this edition of Boba News. Stay tuned for more…

    I wonder if I’ll ever post again to this weblog! I guess I don’t have anything to show this month.

    I like to accidentally come across sites that make no sense, but have lots of pictures to explore. Since I have nothing else to say today, here are a few of those.

    I found some old drawings I made on a handheld computer I used to own. They are just so happy and uplifting I had to post them.

    I don’t have the will to write up a post, so here are some pictures from my camera phone. This will count as an update of the past few weeks. When I drove at the beginning of the past few weeks, it looked like this:

    I’ve been in a lot of meetings. They look like this:

    Then, last Friday we decided to work in the dark. Even darker than normal. Even Evan worked in the dark:

    My office was dark too…

    And this pink little princess had everyone dress up in pink:

    And we only ate pink food:

    (and I had more meetings)

    Then email broke for the entire week so we made up an alternative method of communication:

    And then Robert drew me – but he isn’t supposed to – so he improvised.

    And Noah came over to my house in his new helmet…

    (he brought people with him – but not Jamie because she lives here)

    And we drank Boba. Even went there twice! They were out of Boba but it worked out because the Jelly was even better…

    Last night, just before I fell asleep, I quietly said to Jamie, “I want to get better at everything in every way.” For some reason (in my head) it sounded romantic.

    She said, “Well, that pretty much covers everything.”

    Then we laughed and laughed. I realized it was a pretty extreme statement the more I thought about it.

    Even when they’re asleep they’re not asleep. Earthborn animals do this thing, inside their brains – a sort of mad firing-off of synapses, controlled insanity. While they’re asleep. The part of their brain that records sight or sound, it’s firing off every hour or two while they sleep; even when all the sights and sounds are complete random nonsense, their brains just keep on trying to assemble it into something sensible.

    They try to make stories out of it. It’s complete random nonsense with no possible correlation to the real world, and yet they turn it into these crazy stories. And then they forget them. All that work, coming up with these stories, and when they wake up they forget almost all of them. But when they do remember, then they try to make stories about those crazy stories, trying to fit them into their real lives.

    They’re practicing. They’re doing it all the time. Coming up with stories. Making connections. Making sense out of nonsense.

    China is going to land on the moon in the year 2012. They are going to “analyze the content and distribution of useful elements on the moon surface, measure the depth of lunar soil and explore space between the earth and the moon.”

    What else is happening in 2012? Type “2012″ into google and take a look.

      Amazing isn’t it? Statement of travel to the moon is so powerful, yet, inevitably, unless some semibalance of permanence is established, or at least working towards it, does it really matter if we go to the moon? The USA went, several times, but it’s almost as if we got bored of it.

      Did we? Just kidding.. You know what’s funny though. A week later, the US announced that WE are re-opening the moon program. We will be landing in 2018.

    We went to Skateland with Craig’s orthodontist last night. While we stood in line we questioned why we were there. We were uptight adults as we stood in that line. But… the power of Skateland will over-ride any reluctand adult thinking. And we left smiling and skipping into the parking lot. Why? Well.. it could be the pizza…

    Or maybe it’s just the TICKETS!!!

    We won a lot of tickets… too many to count. Well, actually there was a machine to do that. All those tickets you see with Thomas, he gave those to some little kid (but then I went back to the kid and broke a few off more myself)

    Notice in this picture me and Thomas are showing off just a few of our many prizes… Namely the Chinese fingertrap and futuristic flying ship. Thomas has whistle lips, an army man and a flipper thing. Craig won a harmonica! I also won Jamie a ring – which, I can tell, she really appreciated.

    But in the end, I think Skateland is simply legal gambling for kids…

    Fun fact: Did you know the “dj” is actually just a windows box running Winamp?? Well… now you do.

    Even Robert got in on the fun…

    Here I am coaching Thomas at air hockey. Together… we were defeatable. I wish I could say indefeatable… but I’m not sure that’s a word… and we lost.

      what a magical night. full of food, fun, and little kids who we could have easily beat in skee-ball.

      I challenge any of the kids that were there to a game of mini basketball or air hockey. i love those whistle lips and i cant wait until next week when we go back and win the plush snake that is six feet long or in ticket terms 5,000 tickets

    The contendors in the cola face off: Coke, Pepsi, Mexican Coke, Big K, Safeway Select and RC. The predictions: Craig and Robert were betting on Mexican Coke – Thomas predicted that Pepsi would win (but only because the RC was warm from being in Robert’s car and not in the fridge)

    Scientifically, we calculated each contender… taking into account their subtleties. Here are the results:

    Safeway Select: Too sweet. Tasted almost like a diet color. Not much flavour. Tasted cheap. Too little corbonation.

    Coke: Lemony citrus undertones. Better than the first one. Complex. Some guessed that this one was coke.

    Pepsi: Perfect. Not too sweet. No aftertaste. Nice body. Perfect amount of carbonation.

    Mexican Coke: A cinnamony bubblegum-ish flavour (kind of like juicy fruit). Smooth. Tasted flat. Nobody even considered this cola. (Note: This was not shaken up, which does hurt this as a contendor)

    Big K: Good head. Slight citrus mint flavours. However, overall flat and flavour explosionless.

    RC: Citrus undertones. Tasted like dirty water. Acidic and syrupy. (Note: This was at room temperature which is unfair)

    And the winner? Pepsi. Everyone agreed (in this blind taste test) that Pepsi won. Even when the majority of the people doing the test were coke drinkers! It’s proof that Pepsi really does taste the best.
