kinirokitsuneSo, I dropped of my job application at Gamestop today. With any luck, I'm get and interview and possibly a job soon. Hooray~
Apart from that I went to exchange my DVR on Saturday. I feel a bit stupid thinking it was going to be a quick affair. Well, trading it in was a quick affair. The man just nodded and got me a replacement DVR. No, the reason it took me nearly 4 hours for a quick trip that should have lasted an hour was the waiting time. There was a huge line of people. It took me about an hour before I was able to talk to a rep. Still, I wasn't bored at all due to the fact I brought my PSP. I played Final Fantasy IV.
It was mostly grinding and a boss battle, but it helped pass the time. After that I exchanged the Dvr, I got Taco Bell and went home. Of course, when I got to main street I saw the sign inside Gamestop about job openings. SInce they were out of apps, I went to library and printed out the app. I play a got of game and al of my systems, including my NES, are in perfect working condition. (Yes, my NES still works O_O)
Okay, since I was in Main Street. I decided to grab milk tea. Now it's time for MILK TEA SHOP REVIEWS!

So, I decided to settle my craving of milk tea. This wasn't my first visit to CoCo. In fact, I've visited this Coco twice before to sample their milk tea. Today, I decided to take advantage of their their buy one get one free deal with Caramel and Vanilla milk tea.
Their store is quite small which on a slow day isn't filled, but normally quite full. It can get occasionaly annoying since on a very fu day you sometime need to wait at least ten minutes before getting your drink. Though, consider that the constantly add new flavors every other months, perhaps it's the reason it always so full.
I was pleasantly surprise by their tea. Their tea is somewhat sweeter than the norm, but it could be the fact their tea taste like a mixture of coffee and tea. Though, my only complaint is they always ad a bit too much ice unless you ask for less. While not a terrible thing, but it tends to water down the tea quite quickly. The vania mik tea was a bit sweeter than expected, but quite tasty. Sadly, as the ice melted the vanilla flavor completely disappeared. Still, I enjoyed the drink. The caramel, oddly enough, was a lot less sweet and even after the ice melted, the flavor of travel stayed. While I do rather like their tapioca, which is neither overly sweet nor too soft, I have the bad luck to get a clump of them stuck together. 8C Well, since I like eating them, it's good for me.
I will say this, the bubble become a bit chewier if you don't drink it immediately. (I've tired this with other milk tea place and the tapioca stays soft.) Though, I am quite happy about that since I like them chewy.
Now, the price isn't terrible. Though, it is a little bit more expensive than your average tea place, but not my much. Most tea places charge you 2.50 for milk tea and don''t charge you for the tapioca. (Unless, it a specialty flavor with special toppings) Though, I suppose it can be justified to pay an extra dollar for vanilla/caramel since the could be counted as specialty favors. Still, it isn't a bad place. The atmosphere is quite nice and the single server is always quite chipper.
So, if your ever in the Flushing area and craving a milk tea, defiantly give Coco's a try. Just remember, expect to pay a wee little more!

Last but not least, Random Video time. This time I chose something http://www.dreamwidth.org/updatesuper nostalgic. As a litte girl, I occasionally watched Jem, but I wasn't that into the show. I re-watched it about two years ago, I vaguely remember liking the songs. Still, it was amusing to watch, I think I realize WHY I didn't like watching Jem. It's because I preferred the Misfits over Jem and the holograms. I find that pretty amusing. Then again, I always did prefer amazing or interesting villains over overly perfect protagonists. I find it amazing that even at that age I was picky about that sort of stuff. (It also explains why I stopped watching Stark Trek. Damn you, Wesley! *SHAKES FIST* Though, Will Wheaton is thoroughly amusing Xp It's that or Deep Space Nine)
So, while I was surfing Youtube, I found my favorite song, Takin' It All. Then, I found the same version of the song in Spanish 8DDD So, here is Llevatelo!
