YAY I’m done! & T.H.E.M.

Finals are over! Yay! Too bad I still have years left damnit…

Anyone catch T.H.E.M. Last night? Er, earlier. Totally Hidden Extreme Magic. I love magic shows, no matter how fake, just cause it LOOKS cool. Everything’s about camera tricks, even if they say it isn’t; at least that’s how it’s been done in the past… I’ll keep thinking that until I see otherwise. Like I said before, it still looks cool. Apparently, according to my brother, my dad knows one of T.H.E.M. Ha. Cool, now I’ll find out for sure!

[EDIT] 6/27 1:00AM… Damn, so apparently my dad doesn’t know any of the magicians, but one of the extras that help the magicians trick the unsuspecting ”victims.” Damn. That’s what I get for listening to my (younger) brother.[/EDIT]

EA Job FYI

Just so you know, EA’s policies have changed. There is no Internet for temp employees. So no outside email, no web surfing, no AIM; even on breaks. WTF?! RAY! It’s your fault! Seems they’re way stricter on the non-disclosure stuff. Some chick got fired from EA ’cause she mentioned something about a release of a future game on a blog just like this. So, no info from mE!

OMG, permanent commute from San Jose to Redwood City… 10AM-7PM NICE!!! Like NO heavy traffic! AAAANNNNNDDDDD It’s only M-F!!! At first I was hoping to work weekends too, just to miss traffic. But, now I won’t even have to, even if I wanted to! Not that I have to worry about working a weekend to miss a day of traffic, ’cause I don’t get heavy traffic! NICE! I’m still tired from the work and driving. But, the $2 more than the last job helps. =)

[EDIT] 6/17 8:41AM… So, crap, I can’t get email from the web, so If you wanna ”chat” with me while at work. Email me at awong2*AT*ea.com. It’s the easiest way to get a hold of me, since I can’t use my phone inside the ”work area.” Ray remembers that. If I run fast enough I can catch your call. But, if not, leave a message and I’ll get back to you; or just email me… [/EDIT]

[EDIT] 6/21 10:51AM… Before I forget again, there’s no sunglasses on the floor while you’re working. It sounds pretty simple. Why do you need sunglasses inside of the office? Apparently, someone got high and tried to hide it with sunglasses. Damn, now I can’t hide my sleeping with sunglasses anymore. j/k [/EDIT]

No doubt about it, we had no flow, no game. JoeH left the ice early first period (I believe) with a groin injury. Recover fast, Joe. The opposing goalie left lots of space for a come back, but we just couldn’t get it to the net enough. But, when we did, we (sadly) made him look good. The refs can suck the big fat one. You know who you are.we had 5 penalties by the end of the second (including my lame high stick when he hit me with a high stick too), to their ONE penalty. LAME! Grats to me for a nice ”charging” at the last :23, and some how come out with the receiver with the penalty. But, now, I have a bum elbow, the same damn elbow I f*ck up every other time, eventually it’ll go out on me, just wait. Well, we all have 2 weeks to heal up, get on the treadmill/bikes and prepare for out next win in two weeks. Enjoy the father’s day.

EA Tester, pt. 2

WOOOHOOOOO, I have another job. Albeit temp, but still income! YAY! Yes, I’m a tester again, but this time just a reg tester not a CQC tester, although I could probably join that group again. Here, I’ll stay on one game the duration of my stay with the option of moving to a new project. Hell, maybe I can move to CQC if I can’t get to another project. Maybe not, I never got an email back from one of the bosses, when I just said hi again HA. Well, I hope my stay at EA can last a while, Maybe to the end of the year at least.

pWnED!!!

FAAAAWWWWWKKKKKKKKKK I go soooooo pW0ned this mid term. I gotta ace the damn final to do decent in the damn class. GAH! I better be getting a job soon!

What seemed to be a very even game in the first two periods, ended up with us on top, very strong. With two great goals from Bryan, we pushed to the lead. I don’t know how he did it, but somehow looked like he was totally going to topple over when he cut to the right really sharp, but maintained that edge. Must be those ”throw away blades” he’s got! Someone’s gotta tell Bryan not to change his number so much, they might not award him the goals on their website. But, I will… So grats to Bryan and grats to Jeff for a great shutout. Hell, grats everyone who played, we all played hard and kept them on their toes all throughout the game. Good job guys, that’s 3 in a row, keep it coming! Looking at the sched, we have alot of ”early” games. Next week is the worst, at 12:15 I don’t welcome that time. Be there, we have to trample the Lynx and their cool cheer, on TAPE no less!

Eggrolls

Damnit, now I’m craving eggrolls. Downtown San Jose, after all the club/bar/lounges are closed, lots of other after hour places are open. Esp. those Chinese (?) places. I want some eggrolls. Maybe even KING Eggrolls! =( I guess I settle for Ramen and watching Powerpuff Girls… I mean Blackhawk Down on DVD… Hrm maybe nothing… I shouldn’t be allowed to to be near a stove after drinking.
