  Spore and Sushi O.o

  Well then, time for a new blog I guess.

  Well I tried Spore. Worked well for a bit, but then kept ending randomly, giving error reports, and such on my brothers PC so he uninstalled it. Next I installed it on my laptop, same thing, then stopped working. I should also note that during these buggy times, whenever you would go to create something, or go to the next stage (cell, tribal, etc...) it would end as well. So Spore is a good game from what I managed to play (from cell to a little in civilization), just has many bugs to work out. I'm not the only one with these problems, I searched it up on Google and found a huge amount of people going through the same BS. The best part of the game for me was creating creatures, and then seeing how the game manages to make them work, by this I mean how they will end up moving, and how they will attack, an amazing engine. Again, good game, but flawed by error reports, and crashes. Anyone else with this blasted problem?

  Next is the sushi. I went to a real sushi restaurant for the first time. Had a "Salmon Lunch" which consisted of broiled salmon, some salad looking thing, raw green snow peas, rice, and random vegetables under the salmon, it was damn good. Next, since this was my first time having "real sushi" (I'll get into the "fake sushi" soon), my dad ordered some stuff. He ordered Rainbow Rolls I think it was called. Freakin awesome. I had them with ginger and dipped it in soya sauce. I have no idea what was in it since, as the name implies, it is ranbow coloured, which means theres all kinds of stuff in there that you don't know about...so much stuff that it is very colourful and looks awesome even if some people don't like it. The bowls and stuff we ate in were awesome too, the salmon was in a cool bento, and I also like how there are so many plates for different things. Next time I'll try Unagi, which is eel for those of you who don't know.

  Anyways, now the fake sushi. Any Canadians ever been to Wongs or Mandarin (I don't know if these exist in the US)? Well their sushi sucks compared to these. I didn't like theirs, and it gives people bad impressions about sushi, making them think it tastes bad. Next time I go to Mandarin (very soon actually, I have a party I'm going to there) I'll compare them more accurately.

  For those who have not yet had sushi or played Spore, I recommend you try them...at the same time O__O!

  Or not...

  Internet problem?

  I can't get past volume 7 of Yakitate!! Japan because I only had up to volume 6 downloaded, and now my manga site is DOWN!!! It's been down for like atleast 3 days now! the-evil-empire.net seems to be down for me...Can someone else check if it's down for them too please? Because I think something funky is happening with my internet...Google redirects me to google.jp...yes, Japanese Google! I emailed them a WTF message, and they said they found the problem and it should be fixed within the month. Next, youtube redirects me to uk.youtube, another WTF. Haven't got to them though since UK is english anyways. That being said the Japanese Google is so much cooler. They have different things on their homepage (we have most of it on ours too, its just hidden). They have a page that shows you routes and stuff for the Shinkansen, which I found to be awesome and damn useful if you live in Japan. As for me, doesn't do me much while I'm in Canada.
  
  Anyways, someone check the-evil-empire.net for me pl0x...

  Beijing Olympics 2008 Opening

  After reading Especensors blog about it I searched for it, and found it linked on youtube. I just watched it and it was AMAZING! If you haven't seen it, go see it http://2008olympics2008.blogspot.com/.

  When they made the olympic symbol float I kind of thought for a sec that they had secretly invented holograms or something. Now I think it was just lights and they pulled it up with ropes or something.Then there were those guys drawing with their bodies, and lets not forget those people from before who were banging on those things to make lights and stuff. They were perfectly synchronized, everytime they did something a nice BOOM went off because they all did it at the same time. Amazing. Then those fireworks! What else do you expect from a country who probably makes all the fireworks in the world... Next those dragon performances (always thought those were cool) were nice too and the puppeteers. Next the dancing with those green clothing things, awesome. Let's not forget that she did her dancing on basically a large piece of paper that was being carried by a bunch of people. How do you perform for so many people for an event that will be around forever anyways? Next, the martial arts. I've always been really interested in Martial Arts, though the reasons why have greatly changed over all these years. The Tai Chi displays were very nice. I've always found Tai Chi interesting, the way it flows like water and is calm like a breeze and is known to enhance life in many ways. But at the same time such a calm art can also be used for self-defense if one knows how to do so. I really liked it, it was awesome. Lastly, the music! The music played throughout was great, especially the music performance. The sheer amount of people that were a part of this opening is another thing that makes it amazing. You see a bunch of little light, only to find that each one of them is a seperate person with a light suit creating those designs and etc...

  I don't think any other country could have made a better opening. And if they could, it would probably cost them several times the price China paid to do theirs what with their cheap labour and such So if you beat them one way (I doubt it's possible), you can't beat them the other.
