Keeping it Real (Estate)

I passed the Real Estate Salesperson exam. (54mins)

Studying

Hit the book(just one) over the last few days. Real Estate Agent exam is tomorrow, Leap Day.

Conversely(if I'm using that right), my girlfriend is going snowboarding tomorrow. She loves that sh*t.

Ain't really done much else, sides watch seasons 1-4 of Big Bang Theory(I give it a 9 for entertainment factor. (Firefly was only 7 in entertainment, but 10 in values and philosophical things, basically, not as funny, but not meant to be.)).

Got the KV-3 and T34-85 in World of Tanks (super-fun!).

Have a guest for the coming weekend. I can now introduce her to the girlfriend I did get.

IF she makes her flight.

We shall see.

Back to the book.

Headboard

I made a headboard.

My girlfriend's twin sister needed help with her DIY project, spent some 8 hours on this thing. Learned how to make custom cloth buttons. I also did not make it to the hike I was going to go on.

Post-project SMS messages amused me:

Me: My legs are sore for some reason.
Her: My shoulders are sore and my legs
Me: You sure worked me hard. Your bed is no joke.
Her: Haha yes sorry about that. Didn't think it would take the much effort. Stupid buttons
Me: Lol. The innuendo just deepens.



In other news:

I am now "too manly." As in overly so. Also "too physical." Unsure what to make/do about that.

Drawsome is awesome. And buggy.

Ate Gen BBQ in Tustin. Delicious, but super long wait. Not amused.

Accompanied girlfriend and girl friend to game developer networking event at the Auld Dubliner bar. Some might see the issue with this. Was bored. Not amused.

Valentine's

Marinated a lamb in some whiskey.
I liked it, others did not.

Unfortunately, this would not have been a problem had the girlfriend not taken issue with rosemary, thyme, and mint.

Visited a photo shoot, decided I want a studio lighting set.

Ate Gyu-Kaku in Huntington Beach.
Not too impressed.

Got a shave set and a double edge from the girlfriend.

I had a picture of the two of us printed on a canvas and left it on her desk at work.

Related: did you know you can buy flowers at Home Depot? Yeah.

Magical Powers

It seems that modern life is rife with consumer goods lacking in durability. I had to replace my PC mouse, since the previous one...popped off. I now have a R.A.T. 3. So far, so good. Headphones supposedly arrive tomorrow, will say more after burn in.

Thinking about purchasing Modernist Cuisine. The books intrigue me, and all the reviews I've seen have been glowing. However, it is still a very large chunk of my disposable income. We shall see.

Valentine's Day approaches, and I've the gift prepared ahead of time. Now, I only need work out the proper...delivery for maximum impact.
Ideas are already floating about.

Notable Notes: I have "magical parent powers," capable of calming others' parents with my very presence.

Not a bad superpower to have, methinks.
