Eats: Joe's Sushi

Joe's Sushi, Buena Park.

On weekdays this place has All-You-Can-Eat sushi for 17.95 a person. With tax its almost 20 dollars. I think it can be definitely worth the amount. The average amount for a single roll is 4.95 and comes with 4 pieces, while most of the rolls served for AYCE are 8 pieces. So you quickly make up the value by eating 2 rolls, or at least that's how i see it.

The menu items offer a variety flavor. Spicy, sweet, savory any kind of taste you would want. I enjoyed all the rolls i ordered, names and pictures of the sushi can be found in my Flickr photostream (links on the left).

They do charge if you decide to take home leftover food. Finish what you order, don't be a wuss.

Today i went to the Fullerton Arboretum which is in Fullerton--excuse my redundancy, i'm only repeating myself--there pictures are in my flickr photostream. The arboretum is a huge place with numerous species of plants scattered around. Theyre mostly categorized by similar types of plant and present awesome photo opportunities. Its a great date idea if all you want to spend is time enjoying nature without going far.

CAMERA

My dad recently let me borrow his old Canon EOS 20D for what i hope is a long while. Since everyone in PTSP has a DSLR i think its about time that i have one to join in the fray. Its really exciting but i need to learn how to use this thing right so i can get really awesome pictures.

Tumblr

tumblr seems to be the new hotspot for blogging. i guess i'll still use this for longer posts in addition to things i may put on tumblr. perhaps tumblr will be a thought and idea while this blog will be the exploration. yea? yea.

This blog will remain a word blog. tumblr will have a picture or two while flickr photostream will be the source of all my pictures.

Dream on the night of 1/24/09

It was the second time where i've had a dream like this. I woke up, completely paralyzed. I heard a few things and felt something thrown on top of me (just a small coin or something of the sort not something huge). My mind is awake, its fully awake and it rationalizes why im paralyzed. Last time i felt someone was keeping me down, this time i started thinking it was the dopamine. See dopamine paralyzes your body when you dream so that you don't do the actions you do in your dream. I felt there was some left over from a previous dream and i couldn't move because of that. There was too much keeping me paralyzed. See in a situation like taht i would probably just go back to sleep. Mind you, i realize that i am dreaming but want to wake up. I want to wake up because i feel someone is in my room with me, and i want to see them. So in my dream i slowly get up, i do slightly get up about 45 degrees of the bed with my back but i end up staying there and not able to move. That's when i concentrate so much to get up i wake up and feel like im being ripped out of my subconsciousness. i slightly have a headache but that could be just my imagination. Then i go back to sleep
i want more dreams like this, but i ahve to learn not to break out of them.

the second dream i had last night, i went to a amusement park with some people and becca a friend of a freind. we were on a ride sort of like indiana jones but it had a drop of water at the end. it was kinda like the atlantis ride at seaworld. anyway when it came to the point where we fall, the boat comes up and the backside goes straight up and hits a pole nearly hitting me in the process. Funny thing is that we are all ok but the boat is bleeding, they have officials escort us out and the help out the boat. so were leaving and it looks like a plane terminal, i go into a bathroom. i emerge with my parents and family like were leaving disneyland we go into a parking structure to leave and when were on the road i remember that i left some things on the ride. (were driving on a road that kinda looks like something from florida near disneyworld). we go back, they drop me off and i go look for the stuff.

stuff in dreams a couple days ago. i had a marijuana leaf ended up grinding it into a powder, the powder looks like cocaine, i stuff it into a paper towel and try to smoke...doesnt work couldve happened on the night of 1/23/09 after watching a crime drama about corrupt cops

i try downloading flight of the conchords files, i see how long each file is, thats all i can remember, maybe from the same day?

*edit* when i say dopamine i mean glycine
