Well, well, well...

Because we have to go through a couple extra loops to get to Blogger, we just don't visit this site (or facebook or xanga) as much as we'd like to. it's only a few extra clicks & typing, but it just doesn't get done...

EXERCISE: In 30 minutes, Josh and I will be doing P90! Yes! Hey, all of you who are exercising, you should take pictures of yourself, so you can see your results. That's what it said in the P90 book. Like, 1 photo every 15 days or so! Keep it up. I've sorta started a pilates class with a few friends (a co-worker used to teach it, so now she instructs us), we've got P90 and I do my quickie: 8 minute abs and 8 minute legs!

FOOD: Bibim naeng myun = this is a cold buckwheat noodle dish. it's like Korean bun, except it's got sliced beef, cucumber, pickled radish, sliced Asian pears, a hard boiled egg, the red Korean pepper paste, and the sauce is a bowl of iced beef broth. IT'S GOOD, I kid you not! I am going to enjoy having Korean food after Korean church, whenever we go! Aja, aja YUM!

Right next to the Korean church, there is a donut place that claims it's got authentic, Chicago-style donuts! It's called, Donut Republic. Inside, it's even got street signs like, "Clark" and "Madison," etc. We first thought, There's no Donut Republic in Chicago! But when we tried the donuts... phew. Mans, dids theys tastes goods!

JOSH'S MAGIC: He claims he needs money. He's excited about the pre-release next week. He hopes to win it, so he could win a free box. Winner gets 26 packs. He's been fiddling around with a 5CC deck, post Lorwyn rotation. It's working pretty good, and he thinks 5-color is still alive. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST: Sprouting Thrinax is the new Kitchen Finks. Josh has been play testing him and it's been consistently been one of the cards that you least want to see across the table. If you have a Jund-aggro deck right now, it is an automatic 4-of. That feeling that you got from cascading bloodbraid elf into finks is the same as bloodbraid into sprouting thrinax. Living China, Josh has become a much better deck builder. PEACE!

CHURCH: Josh led worship last week and it was great. (Well, at least the service that I went to.) A lot of the congregation said encouraging things to him afterwards. He hopes to continue to be involved as he was before.

FRIENDS: We went to our new friend Kashia Vang & his wife Esther's apartment after church. Josh says hanging out with him, he's very much like Kounay in personality. Example: After church, he said to Josh, "After service, I was considering coming up to you and saying, You did a great job. But then I didn't want you to get all boastful." Funny, huh? We had dinner with them and hung out with their kids. Nice times. He even gave us a tshuaj plant, the green leaves stuff that you put in boiled chicken. YUM! Hmong people are great.

Is Tais Dlaab Josh writing this or is Dlaab Josh writing it? If it's Dlaab Josh, why are talking about yourself in the third person?

How do you ramp your Jund Aggro? Jund has lost a lot of fat creatures. Are you throwing in Thornling? Since the game is slowing down I also think 5CC will be a force to reckon with.

Sprouting Thrinax is a good card. Do you plan on sacrificing it or are you counting on your opponent to destroy it? Exile is becoming more popular so goes graveyard is more difficult to achieve. You could run into some issues here, but it won't be every match. Also, with Zendikar there could be drawbacks to having three creatures come into play. You might get a Trap card. Man, it sounds so much like Yugioh.
