Threat? No. Deserved Payback.

As Frass as my witness, let it be known that you owe me, MC.

Truly, you owe us both but this right here is my demand, and I'm ready to collect.

You owe me - one concert.

While you may have paid (with money) for our terrible experience at Matisyahu, that type of trauma can never be forgiven but only repaid.

An eye for an eye, I believe it's called.

Make sure you plan to be in NYC on August 22nd.

Because we're going to see Nine Inch Nails.

Now let me remind you that due to your wedding, I missed out seeing them and cursed you plenty.

You probably couldn't hear me because you were too focused on trying to not cry during your ceremony... Bad Man that you are and all.

But don't let me curse you again.

This is the last time I'll be able to see them and your last chance at not being the designated Number 1 spot on the 2009 Airing of Grievances List because it is not looking too good for you again this year.

Picking a Fight

There I was, fulfilling one of my Sims' lifetime wishes of wanting to catch an insect.

Gokudera had just given a speech at City hall, and after he was finished he was standing outside on the lawn awaiting my next command when I spotted little yellow butterflies flittering just near his reach.

So why not kill two birds with one stone or rather, do two tasks including giving a speech and then catching a bug with one click of the mouse?

I was congratulated for catching a common breed of butterfly priced at 22 simoleons if I chose to sell it when suddenly I realised there was a young adult Sim running towards Gokudera.

What does he want? Does he want to congratulate me? Does he want to say hi?

I scrolled over his face and discovered the shocking truth.

"Be slapped".

Wha'...?

What the fuck?!

::pow pow pow pow::

::stars::

OH NO.

Oh no you didn't!

You just picked the wrong Sim to fuck with, unidentified fool!

Let us just say, my Gokudera Sim is much like his Hitman Reborn model.

He's hot-headed.

Immediately, options I never saw before popped up! and they included:

Fight - Slap or Yell at.

In amidst of all the yelling and slapping that rained down per Gokudera's hand and voice, I decided to be "nice" and ask about the dude's job.

Gokudera discovered that the dude was unemployed.

Well that just set the dude off even more.

He didn't have to tell me he was unemployed! And then he tried to insult me again for inquiring!

Well, more options popped up for hot-headed Gokudera -

Special - Slap; Yell at; Insult; Insult and Imply that Mother is like a llama.

Oh, you can be assured that that unidentified Sim got the wrath of GOkuDera upon him and his mother got called a llama (there was a picture of one to show me that Gokudera was not even going soft on the ass).

Needless to say, he ran home crying like the little bitch he is and Gokudera made an enemy.

AND I went ahead and caught another bug.

I sure didn't see anyone else try to slap me.

That's right.

Don't fuck with Gokudera Hayato.

Happy 4th of July

We had a fun day with friends coming over to eat Momma HO's jerked chicken, jerked pork, saffron rice, melongene casserole and bbq chicken. Thanks to Alex's Mom for the black rice (with lots of bacon for me...mmmm).

There are no pictures of the greatness as Frass pointed out because you know we enjoy nothing more than torturing MC but unfortunately, we were too starvin' marvin' to take the camera for pics. I'm regretting it now but I can at least post pictures of the chocolate sheet cake that H1 and I baked again. These are ones of that first time but never posted:





Memorable Conversations of the Day:

H1: Frass, you want some raspberry smirnoff?
Frass: Yeah, but I hope it doesn't taste like ketrax.
Or 2 & H1: What's ketrax?
Frass: Worm medication. Allyuh never had to take that as chirren?
::crickets::
Or 2 & H1: Um, No.
Frass: Oh yeah? My sister and I were always on that.

Or 2: Just so you know, I like your daughter's watermelon pants.
Alex: Oh yeah? I was wondering if it was too stereotypical. I asked my sister...You think I should put her in this? You know, watermelons and black people?
Or 2: ::chuckle:: Don't worry, I think it's cool. Oh you know, we had watermelon in the fridge...
Alex: Why you gotta be all racial?!

Spontaneous Trip to Chinatown

On Friday, we made a trip to Chinatown on a whim.

I find it disturbing but I'm beginning to think that BooHead's Asian is just not that 'strong'. I don't know where his love of dimsum is hidden or if it even exists.

Who could not love this?





The second disturbing mess was this thing that I made here on the table. Surely this was not my finest moment but can anyone guess what was swimming in goodness and then rolled twice on the table? Come on...guess.



The most disturbing mess is that either we got cheated at dimsum or their prices went WAY up. I don't know what that's about but I'm blaming the presence of Ant. on that one.

That was fun for us as well as getting ice-cream from the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory stand located outside Pershing Square at Grand Central Terminal.



While their vanilla was good and peaches and cream okay, it's still not the greatness of the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory.

Hate Mail to Tite Kubo

Dear Tite Kubo,

First, there was what you did to Rukia.

You made a bitch out of Rukia. I mean, it was a really good explanation why she could not use her powers in the first place because Urahara effed her over by planting the Hōgyoku in her but then, you made her lose every single fight after she returned to normal.

While it's not your fault the animators decided to have her say "Kaien-dono" about x1 million times in the anime to eat up precious airing space, I still feel as though I could slap you for that too even if that would an injustice to you on my part.

Followed by...what's this stupid "Cross-Triangle 'love' story" you have going? Everyone knows (and everyone SHOULD KNOW and stop THEIR RUBBISH) that it's Ichigo and Rukia. I happen to like Ishida so I won't want to inflict Orihimeass on him (H1 disagrees but that's due to the fact that she doesn't see just how hilarious Ishida is) but if Ichigo ever shows any sign of liking Orihimeass, I will be ill!

Renji's love for Rukia? Cute but not happening. That baboon king is useless anyway.

THEN, you made some ugly beast made of arms of some arrancar shoot a gigante hole straight. through. Rangiku. Seriously? What the fuck was that?! And then you want me to believe she's alive?!

Next, you killed off Ulquiorra.

You know I loved him. You must know! I'm one of those millions who put him the top 5 favourite Bleach characters in a recent poll! I mean, I didn't vote but I didn't have to!

Granted you gave him a heroic death by not having him go out like a wuss but it's still not cool. At all.

Okay, Kira's all sorts of crazy now. Did you see Death Note or something and decide that all Kira characters should have a crazy complex? I love Kira but I'm scared for him and everyone around him. He's going to go ballistic on everyone and it won't be pretty.

I'll admit though, that's kind of cool. Go ahead there.

Swinging Back the Pendulum for a bit, you totally effed over those Vizards.
H1 couldn't even watch those episodes due to the fact that she was so distraught.

Hirako Shinji's my favourite and that was just damned sad what happened to them. If you so much as HURT him - my sleazy casino music themed, bad haircut, wide smile, pierced tongue, sharp pin-striped tie with black shirt Vash voiced hotness - in the upcoming story, that'd just be a low blow to me and to Shinji. Please showcase his awesomeness because I know he's one of the most bad-assed characters. I also know Aizen's probably the most bad-assed of them all at this point in time, so please go easy on Shinji and don't go totally effin' him over. Again.

And it's not like I cared for her too much before, but did you have to make it so it's all fun and games until someone loses an arm?! I guess you did her a kindness by making her so much cooler than I thought her to be but you did so by having her lose a limb of her own doing. It's hardcore for her; cruel on your part.

Finally...for years now, I've been worrying that Ukitake will keel over from TB. While I secretly knew that one day he'd die in a fight because it just makes sense for you to give all of us a false sense of security, I will NEVER be prepared for that day. So now that that day seems to have finally arrived, I just thought you should know that I am HATING on you right now.

H1 couldn't even talk, she was crying!

He best not be dead! Especially by the hands of Wonderweiss. Are you sure this is the route you want to be going? Frickin' Wonderweiss?! That fool?! With his hand through the already frail heart of Ukitake?!

You're an ass, Tite Kubo!

AN ASS!

Don't you be killing my favourite Captain!

Just.

Don't.

Do.

It!

Disrespectfully and disgusted that I had to play faux Otaku (because I'm not an Otaku, H1) for a moment,

Shaking Our Way Down to the Shake Shack

It's been quite the while since the HOchieS have wanted to try the burgers at the Shake Shack located at Madison Square Park down on 23rd St.



Of course, we for some strange reason that involved us being "mizzled" believed the Shake Shack to be near Bryant Park.

Indeed, we're not sure why we thought that either...

Well anyway, thanks to H1's 2009 Plan of a Once a Month (Or Maybe x 2) Foodie Adventure (because honestly, we always say we're going to do stuff but then we don't and this city's too great to ignore), we're knocking things off our list and despite conflicting reviews, I found my burger at the Shake Shack to be pretty damned good.



Maybe!

Just maybe!

I forgave it for not having bacon.

Though, as we all know, bacon makes everything taste better...

So maybe not.

I had to have the double because with a burger lacking bacon, I had to become the piggyh in that equation to complete the meal:





(No H1, I'm NOT always a Piggyh!)

But you know, a double Shack Burger without bacon is just not enough and that's why a Shack Attack Shake made from chocolate custard and all manners of chocolately bullshart complete with chocolate bits is in order.



I maintain that I am no pi::oink::gghy!

Those Who Went Adventuring with the HOchieS:

Aims, Alex, and Frass. Oh, Frass...it was good to see you because sometimes I miss you. Sometimes. Don't forget to come up on Saturday for some Jerk Pork!

Memorable Conversation of Wednesday:

Text from Or 2 to Beetchie: Don't Hate me. I have a confession to make.

Text from Beetchie to Or 2: Whu't...

Call to Beetchie from Or 2: Well, you see...H1 made these plans that I was unaware of really and apparently she and I are going to Shake Shack on Thursday...

Return response from Beetchie to Or 2: Oh, whatevs. I'm in the line at Shake Shack right now. Ahahahahahaha.

Or 2: You Ass!!!!! Did you even THINK of me when you were doing this?!

Beetchie: Yeah, you were in the back of my mind but then I remembered that you documented photos of tape on my back.

Or 2 to H1: I'm going to wish her a tiny 'choke' on her shake shack burger but not until I have consumed my own.

We all know how Karma's a bitch.

Memorable Photos of Thursday:

Rain threatened our plans again but in that period of stoppage, Frass bought us the following to clean up the chairs -



And so Alex did.

Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit. Hare, Hare, Hare.

Here we are at the start of July and we're trying this again.

Good luck to all and we hope this month proves better than the last for everyone.

Goo'day, X!

I guess we knew this day would come.
That day when X would move to Bim.

But we didn't think it'd come so soon, nor has it really hit me yet.

She'll be back and forth for a while but it's a little bit strange knowing she's not in NYC.

She'll still be a phone call away but what if she needed to hope on the metro and lounge on the couch?!

Oh, it's not that simple anymore.

Well, at least I sent her off with some fried calamari in her stomach, a Murphys Stout and a Hard cider in mine.

And what did she leave us with?





A claw from the stinky swamp.

The HOchieS will miss you and love you, X!

September 2nd's not that faraway!

Buy us pyos from Japan too!

But please, no claws!

Doubles and Mayo?

Who would concoct such a vile combination?!

No one really, that's just a misleading blog title.

It's not good time trini doubles like some of you may be thinking of...and DEFINITELY not those other types of doubles that CLee might be thinking of.

This afternoon, with the threat of a thunderstorm, which not only threatened but actually waited until we were in the open to occur (i.e. eff you false sense of security) Aims, H1, Beetchie and I went to St. Mark's.

Many a day we speak of going on foodie adventures but have decided that will do it this summer or at least try to, to knock a few things off someone's list.

Today was Pommes Frites. I had it before with some awesome eggplant mayo but H1 and Aims never had it before, so off we went and actually got a seat there.

Aims went with the sweet mango chutney mayo, H1 with the garlic mayo, Beetchie with the poutine and I with boring blue cheese as I didn't really see the board and made a hasty decision. Don't judge me.







Next, Beetchie and I went off to Toy Tokyo because we're addicts and it's right next to Pommes Frites. There were hardly any TokiDoki pups left for us to choose some so instead we picked dangerous zipper pull toys.

Beetchie blames it on H1 but our luck was not that great. We both got the same dangerous zipper pullie. I wanted either the brass knuckles, knife or razor blade but got a neon orange grenade. Beetchie got the same in a normal green. Who's going to believe that my zipper's dangerous with a neon orange grenade? Do such things exist?

Then I tried to do BooHead a kindness by getting a WALL.E capsule toy and got the famous Umbrella Robot. Wha'? Yeah, I don't even remember there BEING an umbrella robot in that movie though I guess the only place it could possibly have been in was featured as a member of the misfit rehab robots.

Cursing my ill luck, I gave the money to Beetchie to try her hand...and out popped a second umbrella robot. The doubles luck was unappreciated.

Snarky Toy Tokyo workers was also unappreciated - don't talk to me like I don't know what I want in Bleach toys, asses. I don't want series 3, 5 or 1. Series 6 or nothing. Ah well. They were kind of funny in a "I could smack them" sort of way.

After our failures at Toy Tokyo we trooped for some gelato which made my hands super dirty and 'bloody' like, took pictures of some peculiar buildings and the cube (have I never done that before?!), went to beard papa and then home.





Before I forget though, I wonder how long it took for a. the tape I stuck to Beetchie's jacket without her knowing, to fall off or b. did she not realise at all and went out like that later that night? It looked like it was coming off when she was leaving the subway.

Hmmm.



Aims showed us the coolest thing at Grand Central which we have to remember to show CLee when he comes up next year for the Toy Story 3 premiere in June...for 5 weeks again!

We had fun times and H1 has decided that we will try to do this at least once or twice a month because we don't explore NYC enough as we should.

While creepy, H1 and I saw dirty carney hand prints on the glass on the train. H1 found it very coinky dinky like that it JUST so happened that my tiny carney hands were also dirty and that I too, was traveling on the same train as the prints.

Curious?

Hmmm.

Maybe it's just me and my ears, because two years ago when "Brianstorm" came out, I didn't care for that song on first listen but then clearly I was struck by a small dose of stupidity because that's one of the best songs ever...

...but anyway, as for this "Crying Lightning" which I purposely stayed away from until the release of the new album Humbug but had no choice BUT to go take a listen since the concert's coming up before album release, I'm not sure I'm loving it.

H1, for you -



Well, it certainly sounded better on second go but...

Who am I kidding? I'll be all enthralled in two days or so.

Alright, so this is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Who wants to buy THIS, the most awesome thing you know you want to click the link, thing for me?!

You can even bid for a lower price and it's nowhere near the insane I-still-want-him Ultimate Sephiroth toy.

Not having a computer for weeks, allowed me to get re-acquainted with my TV. I've been missing some seriously hilarious times with those two anchors.

The lack of computer also has me drawing a lot more. It's a good thing, well...not my crappy drawings but at least I've been trying more than I usually do and should. And I'm trying Zarnyx is all new styles and slight adjustments to his clothing. I'm always obsessing over Zarnxy...

Iwasaki Taku



I find myself very taken up with the music of this composer and have decided that whatever anime he scores the music for, I will watch. That's no reason to watch an anime but so far, with all the newer works he has done...it's very promising and I've loved it all.

And Trinidad Didn't Happen

We're sorry to Pandy and Gills.

But the good news is is that Luuiiiissss has finally been diagnosed (and like I said, salmonella is just horrible) and now he can get the proper treatment.

Looks like it's work for me tomorrow but that's okay too. I'll not regret this day in the near future.

Happy Birthday, Bunji!

Your sisters are very sad that we cannot be with you on your birthday - we were looking forward to the trip to Trini but things happen and salmonella sucks (poor Luuuuiiiissssss) but we're happy you're having a good time and getting a well deserved few days off.

We miss you!

...and Tobago?!

It's true.

The HOchieS went to Tobago and we can blame MC for that! Have your wedding in Tobago, will you?!

Or 2 has never been to Tobago before other than that one time back in primary school at the age of 9 or maybe even younger.

Blue waters, sand and sun may sound like glorious times to some but to me, not so much.

I'm no lover of any of those things but what I do love, is a beach house. We stayed at a villa that had the all the feelings and properties that make up a good beach house.

It lacked actually being on the beach though so that we could smell the salty sea air in the morning, but it still had some of the important things - it was huge, a kitchen with a nearby huge space to hang out with friends, lots of bedrooms for friends to crash at (our room had a double decker...that's right, TD5, CLee and I stayed in the kids' room), mosquitoes, mosquito coils, and was haunted.

It wasn't that it was full blown haunted or had a jumbie rat bounding down the stairs (it did have crappos which are not nearly as terrifying) but there were parts of the house that gave me the heebie jeebies.

Upon our arrival, we were all starving so trekked to Store Bay for some eats and for some sea (more Boohead than anyone else).





I was always told that Tobago's a bit of a wasteland when it comes to food save their curried crab and dumplings. Naturally, I did the recommended thing and got myself some of that. I am still confused as to why Tobagonians make their dumplings so large and square but that sure didn't matter after I tasted that amazing food.





That night we went to MC's villa for some eats but he did us dirty and we ended up bargaining some drinks for food... in the end we got jipped. Thanks, MC. After we left his place, TD5 needed to eat some food to be able to take his vertigo medication (did I mention he's now Lucille 2?), so we found a burger lady who provided us with street eat burgers which were full of yum times.



The next day we took in more beach, at a different, quieter spot. The sand was a bit green in spots which didn't bother me but did bother CLee.

And for the first time in a long time, I decided to go into the ocean and was promptly reminded that I have no business being there thanks to a gigantic wave that came upon me and I could do nothing but take the hit. I was told by all that all they saw of me was my "ass up in the air".

Lovely.

For lunch we ate like goo'd times - callaloo, stewed pork and macaroni pie (I guess I lucked out with Tobagonian cooking?).



Then we napped, followed by getting dressed to attend the wedding of our very own MC, who tells me he can no longer make it on his own.

MC and K got nice weather, a fun reception and granny even had good things to say about him. Heehee. Congratulations, MC. The HOchieS were teary with happiness for you and we look forward to welcoming K. into the Ho Clan in the near future.

Though we have to say, must you nasty up everything?



On the final day, there was pool lounging and sugar cake rip off buying but the trip was pleasant enough (both Trinidad and Tobago) even though always rushed and mosquitoes somehow managed to destroy us.

Stupid coil! You used to work!



Although I guess I did get attacked mostly in Trinidad when we didn't have the coil...

Trinidad...

First, let us discuss our as per usual, frantic on the fly trip as a whole and all the shart we ate while there.

We got to Trinidad last week Thursday in the afternoon, and ! Boohead came with us! and managed to stuff Royal Castle in his mouth before I did..., then we proceeded to eat Aunty P.'s awesome times pelau then went out with CLee to stock up on stuff:







Dinner was the KFC we quickly ate before tuning in to the Burn Notice season premiere but really we tuned out because there were too many distractions around for us to pay attention. I feel as though TD5 somehow, distracted me on purpose even though he wasn't around.

We awoke on Friday and while H1 was at home secretly eating Hops and Cheese like an ass without me, I was out with TD5 getting doubles to feed her.

H1: 1
Or 2: 0

Before going into the details of Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning I would like to do a wrap up of Sunday afternoon, Monday and Tuesday morning.

Sunday afternoon brought us family that once more invaded Aunty P.'s and Uncle P.'s house. Heh, we're very grateful for letting them converge like that.

It was a little bit strange seeing everyone. I've not seen many for a long time, not for about 13 or so years and it was a bit sad too as it was a reminder that we truly are getting older (I still don't feel it myself). Still, it was also a very good thing to see everyone. We miss them.

Monday turned out quite relaxed.

Aunty P. made salted fish with tomatoes etc. and boiled some sikia figs. Mmmm, it was the first time I had the figs like that (not quite ripe, not quite fully green) and I knew it'd be awesome but sometimes when you got that one fig that was sweeter than it should have been..oh yeah. That's what you call good times, my frenemies.



We also ate chicken puffs that morning, followed by TD5, Luuuuuuiiiiiissss and I going to see awesome B Movie times Drag Me To Hell.

I. Love. Sam Raimi.

The movie was everything a Sam Raimi movie of the horror movie genre should be - fun, ridiculous, gross, cheesey and with at least one dancing candarian demon. Bruce Campbell is forgiven for not being there due to the fact that he's off doing awesome Burn Notice related things but he was missed.

I also missed Ted Raimi's cameo but not for a lack of trying. It was off-screen! Clever, Sam R. Clever indeed.

Dinner was in two parts though I ate only a litle the first time - a little bit of buss up shot and curried goat with pigeon peas that Aunty P. made for us from the day before.

Oh, that's right? Did I forget to mention that the day before we ate like amazing times? Curried goat with pigeon peas, dahlpuri AND buss up shot, curried mango (yum!), stewed chicken and channa and alloo?

2nd Dinner was Royal Castle. I really missed that place. Their chicken is great and their crinkle cut fries are still hella' awesome. CLee, I might have to abandon the KFC but not the zingers.



A little near 1 AM, we boarded our flight to NY and was met with drama on the plane. Some asshole got to his seat and scoffed at the woman and baby sitting in the row by proclaiming that he did not want to sit near "no effin' baby" (I cleaned up the language because it's horrifying to repeat as is).

Security came and kicked him off the plane after the woman rightly made a stink (and came over to sit next to my empty seat) but then they stupidly let him back on the plane citing that 'two wrongs don't make a right". Their logic was that if the woman also used obscenities then she should be kicked off the plane.

Now. How idiotic was that? She did not curse him, she cursed at the general situation and so what? She was reacting to a horrible mess of a man!

So, they let the stupid back on the plane because it was only fair in their eyes that he should be allowed to fly too.

I'm often pissed off at Trinis stupidity.

But the same applies to racist, power tripping customs officials in the US.

When we got to the U.S., and got in line for the first customs official...I knew we were in for some shit. I watched the man get up, not acknowledge he had a line of people waiting for him (ie us), go to the bathroom and disappear for 10 minutes, saunter back to his post still without acknowleding us and when he finally called us over...he was a dick.

He insulted the intelligence of flight attendants and the respectability of their jobs (you know, as if he's the shit at the airport that has the most important damned job there) and then with an assholish attitude asked Luuuiiissss if he'd ever been in the back before ie the Interrogation room because that's where he sent Luuuuiiiisssss.

It still boils my blood thinking about it.

Anyway, as mentioned, there's a bit of a gap on the details between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning.

Friday afternoon we got on another plane for a 12-20 minute flight to the Sister Island.

Memorable Conversations:

H1 and TD5 are discussing work, and my favourite parrot Billy: ::steups::
TD5: Billy, stop steupsing.

Or 2: Ugh, do I really have to get up to go brush my teeth?
TD5: You are lazy.
Billy: ::extreme laughing::

Can you believe that parrot was laughing at me because I was called lazy?

Or 2: Did you hear what Billy does? He imitates the sound of fruit falling from the trees and hitting the ground... 'buddup'.
Mk: Umm..ookkkaaaay...
Or 2: Yeah because then the dogs go searching frantically for the 'fruit'.
Mk: ::extreme laughing::

Currently listening to: "The Pot" by Tool.
