Google Translation:

I'm leaving tomorrow for 2 weeks (unless people don't get packed, then I'm leaving on Saturday). Going to Palm Springs and Lake Tahoe and shiz in California and Nevada, and I'll be visiting my grandparents.

Also, Disneyland.

Also, I got my family's iPhones tethering (FIGHT THE POWER) so I'll still have internet EVERYWHERE.


See you peeps in 2 weeks

HAY GAIZ IM IN ARIZONA NAOW

Which means stalker time. Where do you Arizonians live again...?

I'll be heading into southern california at some point as well I'm sure. Probably end up going through northern cali on the way home. Maybe.


Anyway, we passed through Vegas earlier today. Stopped and ate at "El Pollo Loco" (YES). Once you get past the fact that everyone there is Mexican, the only music played is mexican, and all the customers are mexican, it's a darn good place to eat.

No seriously. The food was delicious. Fresh grilled chicken. They even had friggin' churros.


Currently staying at my grandparent's house for the next three days. Cell coverage is kinda sparse for AT&T here (limited tethering, but my Net10 phone is still GOLD). Might make a little dough securing one of their neighbor's horribly insecure wireless network.

Oh yeah, they live in a retirement community. Bunch of old people, but it's a really, really nice place to live. The pool is awesome. The workout center is big. The houses are very tasteful.

And there are wild cotton tailed rabbits EVERYWHERE.

hey ******, can i use the keyboard in pcsx2 for actually typing shit, while still using the pad for whatever. because rpg maker 2 will be painfully retarded to the point that i wont even play it if without a real keyboard

[Toasty]

Possiby. It all depends on whether the PS2 originally supported keyboards, and if the game supports them. You shouldn't have to map anything though. Not quite sure how it works though, since I haven't tried that myself yet.


And really, all the immigration has really killed the mexican culture for me. I mean, I wouldn't really mind it if it wasn't absolutely EVERYWHERE now. I mean, seriously. Back home, I probably can't go a day without hearing spanish music. I'm just kinda sick of it. I don't really even enjoy going to our local authentic mexican restaurant, which I used to kinda like. But then we got flooded with immigrants.

so stfu gaiz.

Seriously though. The Crazy Chicken has darn good food. No lie. I suggest eating there if anyone comes across one. They're supposed to have a few restaurants in California too.

[Golden Legacy]

I think that's a bit unfair, given the fact that the US is a relatively new nation in its own right. I'd say there is culture, but it isn't homogeneous nor is it 'experienced' by everyone to the same degree, varying considerably by background and generation.

Well, mr. smart ass, normality is relative, is it not? So to an American, america would be the only (maybe one of two *points to his country on map*) to be considered normal, wouldn't you agree?

[Toasty]

This man speaks the truth. ^

Okeh. So. Liek, my family and I (grandparents included) went to see The Time Traveler's Wife (decent movie btw. Chick flick maybe, but still good despite that). Then we went to a fancy Mexican restaurant (lol hypocrisy. j/k) called Abuelo's. They have great enchilada's.

So. There are two great mexican restaurants in the southwest corner of the United states.


Oh yeah, I got a haircut two days ago. Now I can actually see.

Correct, but the challenge is acknowledging that relativity. I don't see my country in a generic light, I see it for what it is - a bizarre hybrid of European and American cultures, with a slight east Asian influence. I can pick out the details of our accent too.

That's correct, but people keep making the stupid fucking mistake of saying could. Like here in Serbia, instead of saying "I'll come over unless I have to help out my dad" people say, "I'll come over unless I don't have to help out my dad." Makes no sense whatsoever.

Alright, I went to Disneyland yesterday, but what the hell. This isn't Mexico, this is America. An English speaking country. So why the hell does the pre-recorded announcement for every ride repeat itself in english and spanish? And why the hell are there so many frikkin' churro stands?

Don't get me wrong, I fuggin love churros. I thought it was kinda cool they had them when I first saw one. But then I saw another. Then another. And so on. I think there were five. Possibly more. I only ever saw ONE hotdog stand. Though there was an eatery in the Hollywood area that sold hotdogs. But there was also a Mexican cuisine eatery around the Pier.

Then there was a walking spanish band or some ****.

I mean, seriously Disney. wtf.


Overall, I was a little dissappointed in California Adventures. Only three rides gave me a thrill. The gliding attraction was pretty cool though. But most of the park consists of sitting and watching.


[EDIT] And WD, I kinda felt the same when the iPhone first came out. But it really has a whole lot of really useful features. And if you jailbreak it and are a competent programmer, you can pretty much do whatever the heck you want.

The Palm Pre is pretty nice too though.

[Mallick]

Churros have been sold in Disneyland since wayyyyy before the overflow of mexicans. And they're the best churros ever, that's why there are so many stands. Seriously, stfu about the mexicans. We know america has too many. So instead of complaining to us, grab a gun and go on a rampage.

[Aquamarine]

I agree with Mallick, just do what every other teenage American does: take a gun and start wildly shooting around at your school. You would be doing a favour to the world.

I can assume by all this mexican hate that Disneyland is the Californian one, not the Floridan?

Disneyland is in Cali. Disney World is in Florida.

I went to the Florida one when I was about 6, but I don't remember much.

So yeah, the one in California.


And really, I don't hate mexicans. But I don't give them the benefit of the doubt as often as I do every other ethnicity I've come accross. Mostly because most of them came in illegally.

But I'll let the churros slide. PDM gives good reasoning. I'll pass on the real-life FPS practice though.

We stayed near Phoenix for a little while while visiting my Grandparents. I slept most of the time we were driving in the car, though, so I'm not quite sure where we passed through.

And actually, you don't have to jailbreak your iPhone to enable tethering, as that feature is built into the iPhone OS by Apple. You just have to download a config file to enable the feature, as AT&T has it blocked by default because they're money whores.
