Mah-Jongg

I recently bought a mah-jongg set. It is pretty cool. I'm hoping one day I can find some hand-held electronic versions of the game. I'm going to check out a book about the game and its history. I don't care what anyone says. It is NOT a game just for old women. Its fun for the whole family!! Okay, I'll stop.

A gripe

I understand that Youtube has a right to remove videos from its site or to make videos unwatchable on people's blogs(like mine) But what is the big freakin deal?
I'm not making any money out of putting its videos on my blog. Arggh! Oh well.

Of course...

That movie, and I'm not going to type out its name, actually made it to number one. Why? Whatever. If that is the type of movie that people feel they can be entertained by, then go right ahead and watch it. You just wasted a couple hours of your life, and you can't get it back. You!!!!(yet another inside joke)

Taken and an urgent plea

I watched the movie Taken this week with Liam Neeson. It was really good. It was kind of formulaic, but I always enjoy seeing him get mad. It's too funny. Of course he is also a good actor. Now my urgent plea. There is a movie coming out this week called "He's just not that into you" Please, please to everyone. Do not watch this movie. It is based on the book whose premise is a good idea, but it is so damn pretentious. Of course a woman should not be with a guy that takes her for granted and treats her like crap, by the way guys should also leave women who treat them like crap. It goes both ways. I'm sorry but anything connected with that awful Sex and the City should NOT be seen. So go watch Taken. Make it the number one movie again this week. That is all. End communication

Eyewitness to a great feat...

Today I saw the most astonishing stupendous magic trick ever. It was done by a co-worker and everyone was mesmerized! Get this,he made a matchstick dance! I know, I know control yourselves. It was so spectacular that words fail me at the moment. I don't know what he will do for encore, but I think he might do the where my thumb go trick. That will definitely bring the house down. On a totally unrelated note I think I can sign the entire alphabet. My fingers are weird, or as someone delicately put it, "I didn't know you had stubby fingers", so my signs might look a little crooked. I hope one day I will be able to communicate a conversation in sign language.

And continues...

Yesterday I tried rabbit and ostrich. They were both damn good. Ostrich was like diced pieces of sirloin. The rabbit reminded me of pork riblets. I had the night off from my Pasadena gig, so I decided to try some more exotic meat. I'm glad I did. I'm going to keep trying to look for places that serve unique food. I was really shocked
to see how ostrich meat looked like. Anyway it was nice to be off work, and be doing something I enjoyed.

The adventure continues...

I just had some kangaroo meat and snake meat. I got takeout from a place in Rosemead called Phong Dinh. The kangaroo was really good. Real sweet and lean. I can't really describe the snake meat. I liked it, but it has a taste all its own. I found out about this restaurant from a November issue of Los Angeles magazine. There was a huge feature article on Asian foods,stores, restaurants in Los Angeles. One part of the article talked about exotic foods that Phong Dingh included on their menu, ranging from kangaroo and snake meat. So I decided to go there. I was just too curious. As I looked at their menu they also had ostrich(Which I initially wanted, but they had ran out...go figure) So I looked at their menu, and they had alot of cool stuff like boar, alligator, water snails. I mean it was like a zoo! Sorry, don't get me wrong I love animals too, but I do like trying different kinds of food.
All in all it was a very cool experience
