Himitsu no Hanazono (ヒミツの花園) Episode 10

Wow, talk about a cliffhanger! This series is consistently great, but I do have one gripe about it. During the title sequence, when they are showing the credits and play the theme song, they throw in some scenes from the episode. This is bad. If I don’t want to know what happens later, I gotta look away quickly, but I often forget, and see some spoilers. It’s a minor annoyance, but still… and then at the end, they will throw in a preview of next week’s episode. That also sucks, but I can usually remember to look away or turn off the video before I see anything revealing. Actually, they do these spoilers on most dramas, I guess it’s kind of the norm.

Anyways, this dorama is almost over, and the main plot, as well as the subplots are set up to conclude shortly. The last big secret is supposed to be revealed. It’s a strange drama, because there are three secrets, not just the obvious one that we know about from the first episode.

Weekend in Big D

At the Dallas Zoo

We spent the weekend up in Dallas, visiting the Zoo, having dinner at Teppo and seeing all the crazy St. Patrick’s Day party peeps, and checking out the museums, including BodyWorlds, which was amazing, but kinda gross. Will post more pics later! Now I have to rest… the drive back down to Austin was crazy.

SSX Blur Update

I have unlocked all but two of the riders, and have also unlocked Peak 2! I decided to concentrate on one rider, and I chose Maya. So far my record on the half-pipe on Peak 1 is about 526,000. It’s such a fun game. Just using the nunchuk to carve is so awesome.

Hooters Visit

A few months ago, a couple friends and I went out to eat at Hooters. So, the food is not the main attraction of a place like Hooters of course, and hey, we are all straight guys, so sue us. But the Hooters we went to was terrible. Let me just say this. Hooters’ waitresses should not be 8-months pregnant. That is just wrong. I’m all for mothers-to-be to be working until they can’t work any more, but… at Hooters?

SSX Blur Soundtrack

Last night I bought the SSX Blur Sountrack from iTunes. It’s by Junkie XL and it’s pretty good. Most of the tunes have great basslines, and are really good driving tunes. My favorite tune is “Wanlong Mellow”, but “A51” is also great. I’d have to say that Blur is my favorite in the SSX series, and the soundtrack has a lot to do with it.
