I’ve always wanted to create myself as a South Park character. Thanks to a South Park fan, it is finally possible to do so! Try creating yourself. Guaranteed hours of fun.

Guess who this is!

After seeing signs that I can make a few bucks from GLD, I decided to jump back into the fund. The signs are there for a good upswing: the price today crossed the 200 day moving average, entered above the upper Bollinger Band, RSI indicates that it isn’t oversold or overbought, and finally the cross in the MACD line indicating a potential bullish uptrend. Don’t forget to look at the price. We’ve got 6 consecutive up days.

The other day I was flipping through the channels and caught the ending scene of the Jimmy Kimmel show. At least it appeared to be the ending scene. There’s this joke between Kimmel and Matt Damon where Kimmel never has time for him in his show even though he’s a big-time actor. Well, I personally think this looks like Matt was seriously pissed, but people in the Internet seem to think it’s a joke on us, the viewers. If it is a joke, how did he get himself to turn red like that and that whole slamming on the table seemed convincing enough. Anyhow, you be the judge:

My post here explains what happened with my meager attempts in showing my new little toy. At least this kept me from playing cards this weekend.

It’s been non-stop toys since my birthday. As mentioned in a previous post, I received a airsoft spring bb gun and the Nintendo DS Lite. I’ve been playing with both items until recently when I discovered Stikfas thanks to Ton and the Air Hog Aero Ace R/C plane. This past week was spent searching for my blue ninja Stikfas action figure. It’s sitting on top of one of my work monitors in a real cool pose. The next day after purchasing the Stikfas guy, I read on Digg.com that there’s this cheap little plane that people’s been raving about. It’s nearly indestructable when it crashes plus most pros love flying it. On that very night I skipped working out and went to 2 Toys R Us (I only went to Toys R Us because I still had a 10$ credit there). It was the last bi-plane left at TRU.

I finally got to truly fly earlier Friday evening in an empty parking lot. It was difficult at first to keep it in the air, but when I got the hang of it, I was able to maintain flight for about 5 minute at a time. When I got home, I proceeded to pull the throttle spring out and went out to Radio Shack and bought some diodes so I can make the plane be able to turn without engaging the throttle. Both mod instructions was given in detail on the RC Groups forum. Now my plane is perfect! Can’t wait to fly it this weekend. Maybe I might take a video or even some pictures. It’s like my childhood all over again!

Extraordinary Desserts
1430 Union Street
San Diego, CA 92101

After receiving recommendations to go to this restaurant, we decided that this would be a good weekend to go down to San Diego and see what the excitement was all about. Getting there wasn’t an issue given that Google Maps gave to the point directions. Upon arrival I thought the parking situation was going to be horrible. Fortunately we found parking just a block away on the street adjacent to a scarcely full $8 parking lot. We surveyed the waiting area and the large array of dessert cakes and drinks. We decided to pull up a couple of seats at the dessert bar and proceeded to order their Tortamisu. It’s basically a tiramisu cake and a couple of soy latte. The cake was moist and lightly sweeten. Just the way I like it! It also came with a small bowl of ice cream. That was absolutely delicious. It cost about a little over $20. Yes, it was kinda steep for considering it was only dessert. The premium you pay for was the atmosphere and novelty. Most people there was eating the dessert even though they have a full course menu. I would have to say that this would be a good first date place if you were to bring someone who’s never been there before. Very impressive and relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend stopping by next time you’re near downtown San Diego.

Went back to Hustler to try to get my playing edge back. Unfortunately my luck still haven’t changed. I did however played a more aggressive game and caught some good action. It felt good winning some hands. The first $100 lasted me about 2 hours and my last $50 lasted about an hour. The last $50 I tried to tighten up my game, but the blinds and raises chipped away at my stack when the flop didn’t prevail for me. I think I’m going to try a new stategy. That’s sitting out for awhile. I’m not in control these days. I’m either playing scared or playing reckless. I need to find a middle ground so I don’t become the fish of the table. Can’t wait to get out of this slump.

Finally sold my energy position yesterday at a loss. Can’t believe XLE fell over 3% in one day! Thank goodness SHY’s dividend will help ease the pain. I suppose the news that they found more source of oil may have caused this recent downturn. In any case September-October is suppose to be historically bad months for the market. I’ll just sit in cash and international position and watch. So far international isn’t so hot either.

An attempt to recapture the Vegas feeling, I went back to Hustler and played a round of NL poker. Busted out my $50 buy-in in about an hour. Man, what a string of bad luck. I haven’t won since the eve of my birthday camping trip. When you’re not catching cards, you’re not catching cards. I was fairly content with how I played.
