Lots of stuff to do at work today. Spent nearly the entire day at work catching up on some stuff and working. Was 11pm by the time got home. Ate, went online, watched House. The usual.

Work involved one 4000 config and one 4000 SIT. Normal stuff. Also did some database work for Agnes. You could call it a normal, slow day.

Came home and Jamie was making more steamed buns since we made two batches of dough yesterday. Since we were out of char siu, this time she made chicken curry filling. YUM! Attempted to play all 32 courses of Mario Kart Wii in one go, but we got bored about half way through since Star Trek came in the mail today.

Went to work (late as usual). Things are slow, but comfortable. There's work to do everyday, but not at the frantic pace we were working earlier. Things are picking up though. I've got another 4200 project coming up which means loads of time involved compared to the 4000 projects.

Made a small detour around noon to drop off some printouts to Jamie for her applications for Ph.D. and also took the opportunity to move some money around the different banks so I can pay my mortgage and other things.

When I came home, Jamie was making steamed buns. It's an involved process, let me tell you. All told, we didn't eat until 11:30 PM but the results were delish. During that time, did laundry, vacuumed, mopped, cleaned the bathroom, and did some stuff online. We also played quite a bit of SMB3, SMW, and Mario Kart Wii.

Woke up late (notice a theme here?) Went to Costco and explored the store. Shared lunch of Combo Pizza and Hot Dog (yum) with Diet Coke. Pretty filling for $3.80. Haha. Explored Costco some more and then headed over to Dad's and Ojichan's. Yummy dinner at Denny's (Fried Chicken Salad and Tilapia Ranchero). Went to Marukai for that Char Siu and also picked up some dessert (chocolate roll cake and sanshoku mochi). Watched the Baltimore/Pittsburgh game (pretty good, OT), and came home and played more Super Mario Bros. 3.

Woke up exceptionally late after staying up. Played the piano:

Went grocery shopping to make cupcakes and pork bao, but 99 Ranch Anaheim does not carry Char Siu? Really? Played Epic Monopoly. Which involves two boards and lots of time ;)

Too bad I'm a sore loser.

Also played lots of Super Mario Brothers 3 (NES), Super Mario World (SNES), Mario Kart (Wii) and Rock Band (PS).

To cap the day off we all went to sleep in our usual (uncomfortable/comfortable?) positions:

Went over to Jamie's and had some Turducken. It was disappointingly unexceptional. We napped, watched Chamber of Secrets, played the piano, played Rock Band 2, watched Unforgiven on AMC with too many commercials and all in all did nothing of consequence. Dinner of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, rice, ume-boshi, and Lil'Smokies.

Woke up late and putted around the condo. Jamie fed Mac some canned food for his Thanksgiving Feast. I'm not entirely sure he knew HOW to eat the food as he made a huge mess around his bowl.

Jamie headed home to her brother's Turducken Thanksgiving Dinner while I worked on some photoing. You can see the gallery in yesterday's update.

Dad came at 4:00 and we picked up Ojichan. We went met up with Uncle Ronny, Aunty Karen, and Aunty Thelma. We headed to Uncle Ronny's brother's house in Gardena. There were probably 35 people there all told, and the feasting included turkey, a roast, ham, chicken casserole, rice, mashed potatoes, stuffing, asparagus, green beans, carrots, zucchini, salad, macaroni salad, yams, and tons of dessert. Everyone was pretty friendly, so we talked until 9:45.

I lost my keys, and when I got back to the condo I found them on Mac's cat condo. I'm not sure if I put it there last night, or if Mac stole my keys (wouldn't be the first time).

I wasn't tired so I did some online stuff including playing Farmville and working on my online stuffs. Check out http://www.jasonishibashi.com for the new look.

Went to work a little late. There wasn't much for me to do, but enough to stay busy until quittin' time. Dad called to say Ojichan was anemic so they're canceling his surgery. With everything going on, we figured it was best not to go to Vegas for the Tanioka Family Reunion.

Went home and waited for Jamie (about 5 minutes). Traffic was bad so it took nearly 2 hours to get to my place. We played Rock Band to kill some time until heading out. I rushed a bit so that we would make it on time (7pm). When we arrived at The Santos' at 7:03pm I figured I should have factored in Filipino time. Predictably, we were "early." Haha.

Anthony and Kristin provided a delish meal of Chicken and Eggplant Parmesan. See photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jyishibashi/sets/72157622758213769/
Stayed until past midnight! Haha. Oops.

At work, ran Software Integration Tests on two Airshow 4000 projects,and configured two Airshow 4000 projects. Completed documentation and release of all the projects. Updated iTunes and iPhone while at work.

Added the SquareSpace.app. Can't do much, but you can post. I don't know if I'll be using it much.
Added Notemaster.app. Very neat little program. A somewhat advanced note taker that syncs to a folder in Google Docs. So far looks neat.
Added LiveJournal.app. You can post, but you can't read. Quite limited, but it's better than nothing.
Added Ziibii.app. Haven't had a chance to play with it much.
Added Target.app. Well.. it's a Target app. Not much to say.
Added LANews.app (LA Times). It's got a pretty ugly interface, but it's the LA Times news.

Got caught up on ESPN podcasts.

Redesigned and added Disqus commenting to my Tumblr: http://tumblr.jyish.com

Made slight design changes and added Disqus to my SquareSpace:

Repointed all the above websites to my SquareSpace and dropped the other websites until they have a particular use.

Cleaned up a bit on facebook.

Cleaned up a bit around the condo, played with Mac, chased Mac off the counter and table.
