Feast...

Today was Christmas eve and as tradition marks in my house my mom and I cooked, she made some tamales, pasta and mashed potatoes, I made some garlic and paprika bread, cookies and prepared the turkey (even though turkey isn't tradition here :P), it took us all day to prepare everything but it was worth it, i'll post some pictures tomorrow. We had a great time and the food was freaking good.

New life...

My laptop just received a new battery, the old one I had was only working at 30% of its original capacity (or at least that's what Ubuntu said :P) and it sucked because I couldn't use it  anywhere without risking it just shutting down without the charger. I upgraded the RAM to 4GB (up from 3GB) and even if it isn't that much of a difference it does feel a little better.

First step...

My main problem to start anything is always to take the first step, even if  I want to learn/do something, at least I feel this way, most of the times I have no problem starting something new, but start something similar to something I already know? I have a little problem to start something if I don't have or need to do it, and since this isn't needed for the moment (maybe later it will), I had a little trouble, but I want to learn it, this and many other things.

Today I started to read a book of Python that I have been wanting to read for a few weeks already but I just didn't had the motivation to start, specially since it is like 600 pages long, I felt that it would take way too much time. But I started to read it and I am already at page 70, so that is a little more than 10% in one day, if I keep reading at the same pace I might even finish it before this year is over, and I actually didn't read that much today, I watched some movies with my family and finished Orcs Must Die (at least normal difficulty).

o.O

Today I saw something that made me freak out a little, well, not, just kidding, but it made me think. I was on my way to my house and I saw this ambulance, there were some people collecting money, at first I thought it was from the red cross or something like that, but this ambulance had a certain logo that I recognized easily, it was the umbrella corporation logo (from resident evil), I thought that it might only be a coincidence, but in the front of the ambulance it actually said Umbrella Corporation.

So, with this info I can deduce 2 things, that someone scammed us really good, or...  that Umbrella is real and we are fucked up and they are developing the T virus here in Juarez!!!!!!!

Or maybe something else that I am not informed, but why would they use the logo and name from a company from a video game?

Being polite???

Since I work directly with people I can't say or do things the way I would normally do, I have to be polite (almost) all the time, unless I am given the chance to not be, ok, so here is my dilemma, I had a new patient today, well the mom of a new patient, and she had a horrible breath, not like 'you just ate something and didn't brush your teeth', but more like a 'you should probably see a dentist' kind of smell.

For little less than an hour I had to endure that smell and I couldn't say a thing because I didn't have anything to offer (gum or mints) for the bad breath, but how should I point it out to this person, I am not saying that I have the best of breaths, but I try to brush my teeth regularly and if I can't at least have some mouthwash or mints, or just go out with my garlic and/or onions smell, maybe someone will like it (just joking :P).

But seriously, what can I do in a situation like this? Should I endure the smell? Directly point it out? Discretely offer a gum/mint?

Orcs Must Die!!!!

So, I have been playing some of the games that I have on steam that I have not played before, one of them is Orcs Must Die and I am loving it, it is a strategy tower defense game in which you are a war mage tasked to prevent a horde of orcs from reaching a rift that lead to the world, so far all the levels are held in fortress type levels, not on the open world.

The main mechanics of the game to prevent the orcs from reaching their goal are the use of weapons, spells and set traps, the main goal of each level is to set up the traps in a manner in which you don't have to kill them all with the weapons and spells since you can loose all your mana with the spells and the weapons aren't that effective at killing them all, that's why it is an strategy game.

I have only played this game for a good 2 hours but I like it very much, I haven't had this much fun in a long time.

I was going to upload a video of me playing, but the raw video was over 2 GB and I don't have the time to re-code and upload it, so I'll use one that I found on youtube :P, maybe later I'll upload some videos of the games that I am playing now.

Vacations...

Even though I am not on vacations officially I have been spending more time with my family, watching movies, going out, cleaning the house, even watch them put the Christmas tree (yeah, I only watched, my mom and sisters know how to decorate it). The only thing I am missing this season are some tamales :/, but maybe tomorrow my mom (and maybe me too) will do some. And finally this Wednesday I'll be on vacations from CAPSIC, not from Hitosoft, I work when I want there and I'm loving what I'm doing right now :P
