Reflecting back on my post yesterday, I remembered that I forgot to talk about my quest to get free Mandarin! In a jiffy, I was successful and I did get to eat at Mandarin for free. If you want the long story, continue reading.

So, it was July 1st - Canada Day. I left the house at around 11:30 a.m. to meet my cousin who is in Grade 10 and was standing in line for 2.5 hours already. She told me that she was tired and that we should be in the first batch of people that they bring in. Well, an hour passes by and we've moved all of around 5 feet. This was probably due to the fact that all of these black people just came out of nowhere. Black teenagers just swarmed and cut in line and the police didn't do anything about it. Members of the line often argued their point, but they were just no match for the over exaggerating black teenagers who lied about already being in the line.

Another hour passes and it's 2:00 p.m. She starts to text Kristen Que / Christel Sison back and forth because, apparently, they were in the line as well. Unfortunately for them, we were way ahead of them. After a couple of texts, Cathleen's cell phone dies of battery and we were stranded in the line. The line continued to accumulate more and more people - black people - and it starts to get cramped. I just wanted to punch someone in the face at this point.

After pushing and shoving our way to the front, we finally get seated at 4:02 p.m. The wait was definitely much longer than I expected, but I think it was worth it. I had fried rice, spicy chicken, crispy chicken, garlic bread, pizza, apple pie, vanilla ice cream, red / orange jello, etc. That's all I can think of at this point, but yeah. It was definitely worth it. What else was there to do at home anyway? There was surprisingly nothing much to blog about.

On our way out, look who it is. The mint girl from last time. I remember her, I thought she was pretty hot. Not gonna lie though, she was looking at me. I didn't say anything to her though... maybe next time. Probably not though. Oh well. I have my girlfriend already, she's kind of cute - just kind of.

Feb. 17/09: Yesterday, I talked about my girlfriend going all gamer-mode the past couple of days. So, on Sunday she played from about 8 p.m. - 3 a.m. and yesterday she played from 1:30 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. That's actually quite impressive. 17.5 hours in 2 days. Since i could play an average of 30+ hours in 2 days playing WoW, that's over 1/2 of what i'd play. So, she got off at about 12:00 a.m. last night and she went on to "her second love" Neopets for about 15 minutes. Our (Me, Nikki and ashlee) neopet owns face, pretty much. The stats of the pet are a bit low, but we have 2.6 million (NP) neopoints in the bank plus the 400,000+ NP spent on the neopet home. Oh wait, I'm going off topic, this is supposed to solely be based on my girlfriend's gaming.

Today's July 2 and she's back at it. On a side note, our Neopet account got banned a couple of months ago. You may or may not remember Part 1 of this, but here's the link. For the past week or so, my girlfriend, Nikki, has been playing Harvest Moon again, almost non-stop - if she's awake that is. She usually wakes up at around 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. so at that point I've already been awake for around 4 - 6 hours just tech blogging. There's really nothing to do, but I'd choose this life over the school life.

Anyways, let's get back to the main point, my girlfriend playing Harvest Moon again. So, while finishing up the last season of Dexter today, she played. She's been playing for the past 8 hours straight. She's working out now, but she should go back to playing again when she gets back. We're usually up until around 4 or so. I play Hot Shots Golf Fore / read Angels & Demons, while she plays. It's good because we get to stay up with each other on Skype, something that I love to do.

It'll be our 1 year anniversary in a week and I don't know what to do. Is that bad? Probably. I'll think of something though. I know I don't want anything expensive though - I'm thinking skipping rope - and hopefully she doesn't because, at this point, we both don't have a job. Man, I'm really starting to get pissed off how none of us aren't getting called. She should get called next week though, I'll keep my fingers crossed. Although me - no hope.

Yeah, so we're both "hardcore" gaming again. I know when my true potential will come out - hello Starcraft 2. Oh yeah, I should probably mention that I'm playing Starcraft 1 again. If you want to know my account name, message me.

No, I won't be reviewing Transformers 2. That's up to my other friend, Aaron (here). I just have some thoughts about the movie. Okay well, first off, I thought the movie was too long. My butt was hurting for the last half hour or so. Another thing is - wow, Megan Fox was damn hot. Hmm, what else? You know what? There was too much action - I think. Half of the time I didn't even know what was going on, but maybe that's just me. The movie did show what producers are supposed to do though. Clearly, the movie is meant to stray away from the hardcore fans, in order to make a ton of money. The producer's job is to make something that will appeal to the majority of the audience for the money - they're not meant to satisfy just the nerdy little hardcore bunch, which sucks most of the time (for the hardcore fans, I mean). Was that confusing? Oh well.

I watched Transformers 2 today with my girlfriend and it was a pretty good day, besides the fact that it just wouldn't stop raining. Went back to her place and watched a bit of National Treasure, but that's basically it. Oh yeah, we can finally finish watching Dexter again, since I transferred the rest of Season 3 onto her laptop. I can't wait.

I hope that I can wake up at 8 in the morning tomorrow, since there's going to be a free Mandarin event tomorrow. It's the Mandarin manager's 30th year being a Canadian citizen - or something like that - so there's free Mandarin on Canada Day, which is today. I hope the line-up isn't too long.
