November 2017 Entry

November 2017 Entry 

Hello. November was memorable. Sorry for being late on this entry though. 

========================= 

- Congratulations to the Houston Astros for winning their first ever World Series (11.01). 
 

- The latest new snack I tried was seaweed (11.12). I know I have had some before, but this was my first time purchasing it. And did I get a lot. As of typing this blog (12.11), I haven't finished half of them. It's good, but eating it every day loses its flavor. 
 

- NXT TakeOver: WarGames is the first in four straight days of wrestling (11.18). I went with a friend who is also into wrestling. We were lining up early and he ran into a lot of people he knew. I got a surprise by Izzy and her family coming up to me. That's nuts that they were the ones coming up to me. We reminicsed about meeting at the Royal Rumble earlier in the year, her dad talked to us about the Mae Young Classic, and I asked Izzy who she thought was going to win the Fatal-4-Way match for the NXT Women's Championship. I briefly spoke to her mom also before we all went back in line. That was an awesome way to start this series of wrestling nights. 


It wasn't too much after that we made our way in. Our seats were right next to the entrance ramp, somewhere I haven't sat before. It was my friend's first time having floor seats and he couldn't believe how close we really were. The security guard was cool to talk to and the family that sat around us (the mom) was very informative. She was the mom of one of the regulars you see ringside at almost every WWE event (got to learn names and some silly drama going on). 
 
The matches, all amazing. I was worried at first about the two rings and then the cage at the end obstructing our view, but neither were a factor. I could go in detail about every match, but just know that I was going nuts for all of them. A few things to note: we saw where the wrestlers significant others sat (Candice La Rae, Rachel Evers, etc), Peyton Royce is so pretty in person, I got to see tears in Kairi Sane's eyes after the match (plus we made eye contact with me giving her a thumbs up after the match), and the cage lowering was a sight to see. 

Afterwards, we spoke to a few people (the ones that wanted photos with our titles) and we ran into Izzy and her family as we were leaving. They're a wonderful family. Great way to end WarGames. My first TakeOver was so damn good. 
  


- Survivor Series was crazy fun too (11.19). Had floor seats again. We were actually at the area where Kevin Owens escaped through towards the end of the show. We got to take our chairs home and I actually tried looking for Izzy again to give mine to them again. But the jetted out fast since they needed to sleep and fly out the next day. One cool thing to note when we were walking to our seats, we passed by the area they were filming the preshow. That has to be the closest I've ever been to Shawn Michaels. Awesome to see my favorite wrestler that close in person. 
 


- RAW  was also fun (11.20).  Went with 2 of my cousins and one of their girlfriends. We were in the section where the Shield came down from. I held my fist out and my cousin bumped it when he touched Roman Reigns, which meant I inadvertently grazed Roman Reigns bicep, ha. My other cousin and his girlfriend happened to go to the restroom right before it and they took a video of the Shield running into position, awesome. And Paige returning with Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, too cool. 


- Smackdown was a great cap to the end of 4 nights of wrestling (11.21). Cool to see Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, and Sara Logan debut. What was even better was seeing security setting up their run in. I pointed it out to my friend and I'm pretty sure I was the first to pop up when they ran down that path. 205 Live was also fun to watch (the first one I saw in person wasn't). And then the after show match was glorious. Styles, Nakamura, and Roode VS Mahal, Corbin, and Rusev. We kept chanting "Rusev Day," which prompted him to soak it in and join the face team, ha. After the match, Roode kept bringing in staff members to do his Glorious pose while his song played and of course the crowd was into it. 


And to top things off, I didn't lose my voice. Very surprising. But 4 straight nights of wrestling was incredible. 

- During Black Friday, I ordered a new blu-ray player (11.26). It was half off and it had decent reviews. It has some cool features too. I can hook up a USB device to watch any videos I have (some formats don't work) or watch YouTube or the WWE Network on it. 

The first blu-ray I actually watched on it was Batman VS Two-Face (11.27). That had been sitting ever since it was released and I wanted to wait to watch it. It's a really good movie. Hits that nostalgic and humorous points really well. I recommend watching it especially if you were a fan of Adam West as Batman. 
 

========================= 

- I now own 100 amiibo thanks to the Super Mario Odyssey amiibo (11.01). And these 3 might very well be my top favorites. They look so good. 
 

And I did beat Super Mario Odyssey (11.09). There was no hesitation about completing the game 100%, which I ended up doing a few days later (11.13). This game is absolutely fantastic. From someone who said Super Mario 64 was his favorite 3D Mario game, this might now be my favorite. Highly recommended. 
 


- Of course I bought the new Breath of the Wild amiibo (11.11). All 4 of the Champions look great and are on par with the other Breath of the Wild amiibo. 
 

-  Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney got released on the 3DS (11.23). While not many liked this title when it was originally released, I enjoyed it, but I never got around to replaying it like I did with the original trilogy. So I was really excited to jump back into these set of cases again. 
 

- Super Mario Cereal (11.30)? I'll eat it. If I ever see it in the grocery store, I'm definitely buying a box. 
 

========================= 

- We offered a BOGO deal (11.01). It lasted for the first half of November. 
 

- Won't go into the details, but as tweeted online, it has been such a long time that I had been this stressed out about work stuff (11.03). 

- Our latest and last silly video involves a lamp and football (11.05). 
 

- November's company meeting didn't have our normal silly pose (11.07). Since the team was putting together meals for a charity, we took a nice photo of that happening. 
 

- And November's blog was written by Agent Striker (11.30).  


========================= 

- Minah - 11 Degrees (MV) 


- Happy Birthday, BoA (11.05). 


- Happy Birthday, Momo (11.09).  


- Red Velvet - Peek-A-Boo (MV) 


- Don't know why, but I attempted doing LIKEY at 2x speed (11.29). For not knowing the entire dance, it wasn't that bad. Still felt super tired afterwards, but I also felt accomplished.  


- And that puts a cap on November. Thank you for reading.
