tuesday, gosh it is tuesday already. it's like monday just flew by. anyways, i am studying, i am getting really into it. good thing, my test is less than 3 weeks away. so i really need to get my eyes checked too. so what i did this weekend. well, i went down to sd and chilled and got a lot of studying done. YEAH! so friday night, i saw TROY. it wasn't all that, that's all i have to say, okay, i have more to say. it was an interesting interpretation. if you haven't seen it, stop reading. i don't want to ruin it for you. so to continue on, I thought that the interpretation was interesting. i understand that it can't be just like the Iliad because well a movie can only be so long and this movie was pretty LONG. so it wasn't very accurate. it was mainly the story of Achilleus. it was pretty gory. it was interesting to see another interpretation of helen and how the gods didn't act on. i didn't like that one scene where paris clings onto hektor's ankle. but i liked some line and philosophy of the movie. how paris is a lover and that's why helen loves paris. how she would rather be with a man or love than war. and the comparison between hektor and paris. i personally don't like menelaos. agamemnon was really funny in one scene. you'll see him sinisterly laughing. i also realized that brad pitt has an ugly looking nose and that orlando bloom has really nice abs.

went to sushi deli on saturday. it wasn't bad. i had rolls without avocado. i liked it better that way. it didn't stuff me, and well that's the best feeling in the world. I would highly recommend the surise roll with no avocado. that was the best, i thought. then I made white chocolate, chocolate, walnut cookies. they turned out pretty well, but next time i am going to add less butter. see with more butter, it's nice, moist and chewy, but i felt that there was too much butter, so i am going to attempt to only use 3/4 and see what happens. i like it chewy, but i don't want it to be dry. still i am glad it was a crowd pleaser. neve realized how hard it was to make it from scratch. but that's my new thing now. this hobby of mine keeps me well occupied esp with studying at the same time. can't wait till i am all done, then i can experiment with different recipes.

sunday we had a bbq at casa de amigos. it was nice. a variety of food to please.

at work today, i told my coworker about sumo...yumm....no i can't wait to go.
