Guess what will happen if you walk past a black cat,๐ฑ๐ค or go underneath a bridge?๐ ๐ค If you guessed nothing, congratulations! ๐ You are a winner! ๐ค Seriously, people come up with such dumb superstitions that have absolutely no truth to them! ๐ If there is any truth though, this is the last Friday 13th of the decade. ๐ That's right, 18 days till a new decade begins. ๐ Do I have some special things planned? ๐ฎ You bet I do! ⭐ For now, I will be discussing the November 2019 uploads, including the videos that were intended to be upload within that batch. By that, I'm talking about the early December 2019 uploads, that are not considered part of the batch for December 2019.
Visit Simon's here. I love 100% Egyptian cotton towels. ๐ They feel so fine, and dry so well. Unlike the last time where those were bath towels, these ones I bought were intended for my face. In addition to this, I bought some pillow cases and Jersey socks. The pillow cases are holding up fine, but one of the socks has a slight tear. ๐ฌ The colour washes fine and all, but long term reliability might not be too good... I would not write these socks off as completely unreliable, but certainly not tough and durable either, despite being made in Portugal. As if that was supposed to guarantee toughness anyway. It does sound fancy and exotic though. ๐ Where a product is made does not guarantee superiority. You can buy fine, long lasting things from China, so long as the manufacturer is a respectable one that values durability.
a Tuck Shop Trading Co. Unisex Chinatown Toque and a Coal Headwear Unisex The Lodge Beanie. Which of these two is better? ๐ค The Tuck Shop Trading Toque. Why do I say this? Because it will keep you warmer than the Coal Toque in weather below 0°C. ๐ฅถ Perhaps if you are bald or have a very short hairstyle that allows your ears to be covered entirely, you may not notice too much of a difference. But for those of us that have high, long, or a voluminous hairstyle of the sort, and want to keep our ears nice and warm, we will appreciate a longer toque. I don't know about you, but I don't like cold-induced earaches! ๐ค Functionality aside, both of these toques look fantastic! ๐
Bite Me! or chocolate chip? Chocolate chip. ๐ช Spearmint, cilantro mint, or frosty mint? Depends on my mood, though frosty mint is very potent, and the least liked for me. ๐ถ Now that I have had lots of time to try the cilantro mint plenty of times, I can say that it tastes like a blend of lemon and mint. ๐ฟ๐ At least on my taste buds, it does. ๐
If you like sweet mint, go with Green Beaver's spearmint. Like the lemony flavour? Cilantro mint. If you just love the powerful, minty blast, frosty mint is the one for you. Oil of Oregano is not tasty, but is a handy thing to have in your home. ๐จ๐พ⚕️
3 glass jars and a wallet. How are they holding up? Nicely. Even though the wallet I bought is listed as a "Travelling" type of wallet, using it as a regular everyday wallet works, too. The Walnew wallets also come in many colours, and even variations, so there is something to suit everyone. In case you are wondering what I am using the glass jars for, I've used them for dry foods like flour, pasta, and cookies. And yes, I've used it in the fridge. The freezer? No, do not use them in the freezer, as these are not freeze-resistant. If you do, I would not be surprised if your lid cracks! ๐คฏ๐ฅ
The Pininfarina Battista is my first Special Event vehicle! ๐ฅณ I hope Gameloft keeps the same formula for future Special Events, where they give you free tries for the new vehicles that nobody owns, as well as some of the other harder ones to get. This event also rewarded lots of tokens and credits. ๐ฐ In past events, they only gave you tokens for the races involving the Special Event king. Despite the ease of getting the Pininfarina Battista, I do not like that we had to get it to two stars before getting the packs released for it. ๐ This is problematic, because there was still a paywall car, that did not get a Car Hunt, or Unleashed Event, during the run of that Special Event. Is this case, that vehicle was the Vanda Electrics Dendrobium. ๐ If you did not have it, the Ferrari 812 SuperFast, or Aston Martin DBS Superleggera fully maxed out, getting the Pininfarina Battista to two stars or more will be impossible. And by the time you dumped tokens into one of these things to get all their stars, you will not have enough to buy blueprints for the Pininfarina Battista. Unless you either pay with real money, or happen to be one of those God Players with 50,000+ tokens. ๐ถ Still, I am glad to win a vehicle I wanted to see in the game. ๐⚡
A dead Porsche 911 Targa 4S
The cookies taste good, and so does the flour, once baked. Not much more I honestly have to say about these goods. They arrived in good condition without bugs, mold, or other nastiness. ๐๐พ You can also get these from Vitacost or Jovial directly.
I did not actually end up returning the white pair. Instead, I gave it away to a relative. How well do Agloves hold up in cold weather? After testing them, I can tell you that the results were extremely predictable: no good. ๐ฅถ in weather below 0°C, you will find your hand getting very cold rather quickly. In terms of touchscreen functionality, they function amazingly well. ๐ And yes, I have been able to successfully handwash my Agloves without them getting damaged. I mention this just in case anyone was wondering if they lose functionality after getting rinsed. If you are interested in these gloves, do not bother with the Original Sport. Only buy the Polar Sport. ๐งค Unless you do not give two rats about keeping your hands warmer, then by all means go for the Original Sport. ๐ฅด Keep in mind that they are also less grippy, too. As someone who has used and tested both, it makes me wonder why the Original Sport even exists, considering the Polar Sport is superior to it. But hey, to each their own. ๐ฆ The Original Sport does have the fabulous red, that the Polar Sport does not come in. I hope they will make a red version of it in the future. ๐๐พ
Remember Unboxing White Jim Halo Polarized Sports Sunglasses? Well, now I have decided to buy a blue pair of Jim Halo's that are larger, and slightly gradient. I have only worn them outdoors once between the time of that unboxing and the typing of this blog post. My impressions? ๐ถ The gradient lenses felt a little weird at first. Seeing as though this was my first time ever wearing gradient sunglasses, this probably explains it. Gradient idiosyncrasies aside, they are beautifully clear as you would expect from Jim Halo. ๐ If you wanted blue, stylish, quality, gradient sunglasses that will not break the bank, these Blue Jim Halo Sunglasses will not disappoint you! ๐คฉ
Me playing Christmas tunes badly -- NEXT! ๐๐ถ What, you wanted to read more than just that? ๐คจ Well, sorry, I unfortunately do not have much more to say, other than I need to stop playing the tenor recorder only during Casual Instrumental Noise Sessions! ๐ณ Seriously, I need to treat the instrument with far more respect than that. ☹ Definitely something I need to change for 2020! ๐
If you have seen my Tweet from 3 days ago, then you will know that there would have been 3 outdoor videos recorded. While they obviously were not intended for the November 2019 batch, they were very much intended for the December 2019 batch. If you noticed from this set of uploads, there were no outdoor videos. ๐ข Outdoor videos are a huge part of the Guuzaka brand. However, seeing as though there is only 18 days left of 2019 -- AKA the 2010 decade, this only leaves me with the week of December 15 - 21 to edit videos. After that, things will likely get too busy to do editing for several videos. Therefore, I only have a few days left to record anymore videos I intend to include in the December 2019 batch. As for the decade end special video -- wait, am I even supposed to talk about that right now? ๐คซ
The Tesla Cybertruck! ๐ There has been several all-electric vehicles unveiled in 2019, but none other than the Tesla Cybertruck has captured so much attention! ๐คฏ Yes, some of you are going to say that much of it is negative attention, but much of it is also positive attention. ๐๐พ The thing did shock my eyeballs at first, but the shock very quickly turned into awe! ๐ Do I care that the windows broke? Absolutely not. In fact, you would not want them to actually be bullet-proof anyway. The reasons?
1. It would make rescuing occupants inside dangerous
2. Real bullet-proof glass would make the vehicle heavier than what it already is. This will lead to a much compromised ride, range, and a host of other issues associated with a portly curb weight.
So there you have it. Will I buy the truck? Well, no because I do not have the money right buy a vehicle in the first place. Secondly, the fact the Cybertruck is missing so many legal requirements for production, has caused some to dismiss it as fake. It has no crumple zone, windshield wipers, side mirrors, brand badge, or licence plate. And notably, its headlights are apparently not legal. ๐ฌ For me, and thousands of others, those sci-fi headlights are a major source of interest. Perhaps Tesla can make the strip broader, and maybe add a slight spit that will allow them to signal left or right to make them legal? ๐ค I am not an automotive legal expert, so who knows. If the they do not shrink the truck, and manage to keep it looking terrifying sci-fi, I will buy one. All-electric + pickup truck = ๐๐๐๐
