Update...

Some of the highlights from the book: from Minnesota sour cream raisin pie. It has sweet custard, raisins, sour cream. It basically looks like a meringue pie. Also from Minne a pie shake. That's right. An entire slice of pie with ice cream and milk thrown into a blender and made into a shake. Apparently its most effective with banana cream or key lime pie. From Wisconsin, something called Hoppel-poppel. It is browned potatoes, chunks of salami, creamy scrambled eggs all mixed together. From Louisiana something called Oreille de cochon or Pig's ear. It's fried dough that is filled with spicy boudin sausage and powdered with sugar. From Tennessee barbecue spaghetti which is laced with shreds of smokey meat. I myself one day want to try barbecue salad. There was numerous interesting foods and facts in the book. It was an awesome read.

Its been a while...

since I blogged. Oh well. There is this book I'm going to check out called 500 things to eat before its too late, and the very best places to eat them. I love that title. Theses days everything is said not to be good for you. So looking through this book, I could see there was alot of gooey and decadent things to eat. I'll post another blog later to share some of the highlights from the book.

Evidence that I need to sleep better/observations

I'm still trying to figure out if I dreamed this or if it really happened. I saw a cover of this book, and I said "Oh that looks cool, I should check it out." Now I can't think of the title or if it was one of those dreams you have where it seems real but it isn't. I really need to sleep more soundly. Anywho, I'm trying to figure out why Facebook and MySpace and Twitter haven't waged hacker wars on each other. Please do. Maybe all of your systems will implode so I won't have to keep hearing about you on TV when all I want to hear about is sports scores and real news. Hold on I'm sounding like that old guy on 60 minutes. Anyway maybe these latest social networks will fade into the sunset like myspace. Yeah its still in existence, but it really isn't relevant. Sorry I just imagined the 2000's to have something more futuristic than mini-blogs or whatever. Like life-size erasers!

Ahh, Cham!

I went to Cham Korean Bistro last night, and they had some pretty good food. It's in Pasadena. I had the bimimbap with ahi tuna, a watermelon salad, and rice cakes with meat. They were all very good. i also had some barley tea which is said to help cool you down especially during the summer. It replaced another Korean place called Seoul brothers which was pretty good. I'm glad they open up this new place though. the prices weren't too bad. The manager was cool in that he was trying to explain the dishes and what they were like. So a very good experience.

Enough already!

When is this crappy weather going to end?! I'm going to try to make this post longer than 140 characters because I despise Twitter. I know its summer but this is ridiculous. I mean can't there be some coolness in the evening? Alright I think that is more that 140. Or not. Whatever.

Yesterday was craptacular...

Man, what a day. At least its over with. I just recently bought a laptop, and so far its been pretty cool to use. I don't have Internet access at home, but I can go to various places such as libraries(wink, wink) and connect to a wireless network. I also have been learning Korean through the Rosetta stone software, which is one of the main reasons I bought the computer. I know it sounds silly that I got a computer and don't have Internet access, I just don't feel like doing that. I could not believe the amount of people who went to the Huntington to smell a flower that reeks like a dead body. Back to learning a new language its pretty fun, I think you have to get a sense of the culture before you try learning its language. I have read books by Korean authors, watched TV shows, have eaten their food, so I'm a little familiar with the language. I think that is probably one of the reasons I'm enjoying it so much. By the way anyone out there should check the Arcadia Public Library website, and sign up for the Adult summer reading club. I think that's a very cool idea, although I think some of the prizes should have bee life sized erasers, and
pencils that smelled like black licorice. Ummm...black licorice. But hey what do I know?

Rain...

is the best. Not neccesarily to drive in though. I went to the Huntington library yesterday, and it started to rain. It was cool. It made the surroundings look completely different. And all this in June. I got an email from the Huntington today saying that the corpse flower is going to bloom next week, and they are allowing members to see it on Tuesday. I'm not really sure if I want to go and smell a flower that smells like a corpse. I'd rather go buy food or watch a movie.
