Ducky Solo 2016 - Day 16 and 17

Day 16. Kind of a lazy day.  Woke up and just did some chores and threw away some garbage.

Made some lunch while I waited to be picked up to go on a mini short road trip.

Expired Package

Added CHEESE

Still tasted OK
Although the flavor package was expired, the pasta still tasted OK!

First stop, was some outlet malls.  Friend bought some items, but I didn't feel like buying anything.
All 3 of us were getting hungry, so decided to eat a somewhat early dinner at around 5 or 6 PM.
Seemed like this Thai restaurant was the best choice in the area.

Mango Nata Soda Thing

Deep Fried Duck with Broccoli and Cabbage

The deep fried duck was tasty.  It had some tamarind sauce and was served with cabbage and broccoli.  However, I think the deep frying made the duck a little dry and difficult to chew.  The skin was nice and crispy though.  


2 Hours of Bowling

Fancy Screen

After dinner, we went to bowl for about 2 hours.  Man that was a tiring experience and got me kind of sweaty.  My average seems to be around 120s now.  My friend got up to 161.

Shared Bed

The Mariott hotel had a goof.  For some reason, even though we booked for King bed + sofa bed.  All they had remaining was a room with just a King bed.  We complained and they got us an additional room free of charge with another King bed.  They didn't offer it up right, we had to ask.

Later, we went to a near by casino.  I guess they make slot machines for everything now.  Game of Thrones themed slot machine.

Game of Thrones

My friend lost maybe $1,200 that night on blackjack.  We went back to the hotel around 3:00 AM.


Woke up on Day 17 at around 9:30 AM.  We tried to prank our other friend by calling his room from our hotel room.  We said his car was being told. Haha.  He fell for it at first, but eventually figured it out.


Decided to get some sushi buffet at around 11:00 AM.  It was just very mediocre.  Me and my friend liked these deep fried lobster balls more than anything else there.

Definitely have been spoiled with fresher fish and sashimi at better sushi restaurants and Japan.  Even my friend who only ate at mid tier sushi restaurants thought the sushi buffet sashimi tasted old and like frozen fish.

It is good for the value, but the quality was not there.  Even the tempura shirmp was just very mediocre.  Mostly only the hot foods like deep fried oysters, bananas, lobster balls, were acceptable.

Sushi Buffet


In the rental car, I noticed the handles still had the plastic wrap on them.  I decided to remove the plastic wrap and be the first person after market to touch the exposed handles.  DEVIRGINIZED HUHUHU.

PEEEEL

FINGERED!

FIRST to touch that uncovered handle.  DONE.

For dinner, since I was thinking about that Burger King Mac n Cheetos thing I heard about.  I decided to get it.  I wanted to get some for the road trip, but didn't have time.

Mac n Cheetos and 2 Whoppers

Duck is interested
Notice how the duck has the same color scheme as the wrappers.

Not In n' Out

I have not had a whopper in so long.  It tastes ok, but definitely not an In n out burger.  No, I did not eat the two whoppers.  I ate one and placed the other in the fridge for tomorrow.

The mac n cheetos just tasted like mac and cheese covered in crunchy Cheetos crust.  It tasted palatable, but not particularly special.  I do not foresee myself craving these at a later date.  On a side note, Burger King sells grilled hot dogs now.  I probably should have used that coupon instead, so I could try both the hot dog and the Cheetos.  This was the first time I have used a Burger King coupon in so long.

Going to do some more business, but I want to play Fire Emblem.  Adult life gets in the way of my fun some times.

Ducky Solo 2016 - Day 10 & 11

Day 10
Third day at home. Nothing happened.  Just woke up, ate breakfast, ate lunch, and played fire emblem.

While driving home, was minutes behind an accident.  Good thing I saw those digital traffic signs that said ACCIDENT AHEAD. LEFT LANES BLOCKED.  I stayed on the right side and zoomed pass the traffic.  The accident involved maybe 6 cars.  A bus was stuck behind them needing to exit at that exit.  GG bus driver and passengers.

Day 11
MONDAY MONDAYS.
It started slow, but picked up bad.  It was nonstop.  I realized one of my team members was out today and that caused me to get more calls than usual.  Besides that handled some tough cases, but otherwise okay.  I forgot to take a picture of my lunch, but it just consisted of the rest of the banquet dinner leftovers and some of my broccoli seitan mix with rice and a banana as a side snack.

I went to the gym after work.  I forgot how to get there from my work, but good thing I had the GPS.  I felt a little sore, but not as bad as the first day back at the gym.  

I got home feeling tired then got more house business talk to go over with my mom.  Answered texts from prospective tenants and talked to my parents more about business stuff.


Dinner

Avocado and Salad

Dinner was some stir fried egg with chashu my dad made with some leftover duck from the banquet over rice.  I only had about a quarter cup of rice with my protein.  I was originally going to make a shake, but I didn't.  I felt too full and wanted to work on the salad I bought.  Some of the salad was starting to brown, so time to eat lots of salad the next couple days.  I added avocado today because my avocado was also going bad.  First world problem of parents giving you too much food so the food you bought begins to go to waste...

Apricots

Cut up some apricots for fruit that I bought like a week ago.  Tastes pretty good, just ignore that I was too lazy to wash my bowl first.

Started to watch Knights of Sidonia on Netflix with my dinner.  Pretty interesting show.

GIANT SPIDER IN ROOM.  I am not going to sleep well tonight.  I lost it.  I was going to vacuum it, but it crawled up and into a gap somewhere on the frame around the closet doors.

Showered and finally able to play Fire Emblem.
