Have you noticed how often movies (especially “summer blockbuster” types) are long integrated commercials nowadays? I think the most egregious that I can think of right now is probably Transformers, which was a series of car ads — GM specifically, I think — I dunno, I’m no expert. But anyways, Iron Man, it [...]
We went to my in-laws for the winter holidays, down in SoCal, where the weather is nice(r). I mean 60 degree days, maybe one day was colder and super windy, etcetc, can’t complain. We went to the San Diego Zoo, and I helped out CT with her site, and Yut helped his dad [...]
I think it’s pretty clear from the photos that we spent all our time eating and playing cards. Just the way we like it! :) K, I finally posted up photos! I meant to for days, but you see, I had this little problem called Fire Emblem, which is what I played [...]
Y’know what I thought was funny? I took home some Bleach episodes for CT to watch, and I thought when she got done with ‘em she could pass them on to the rest of the family. But it turns out they’re all bigger anime nerds than me; 3 of them already watch it, [...]
I only got a few hours of sleep on the plane. Now I’m trying to decide if I should go nap or try and stay up to regularize. Just 1 hour ago I was leaning towards staying up, but now keeping my eyes open is getting harder, and I’m leaning (inexorably) towards sleep. [...]
Going to Maryland tonight! Red-eye, should be fun. :p See y’all there!
I realized today that I hadn’t posted for a whole week now, which is a long time! I dunno, been busy I guess. I did put up a whole bunch of photos this week, though. I finally finished putting up photos from Sydney! Well even though it’s super late, I’ll sum [...]
I put up photos from the Adelaide part of the trip finally (March Madness distracted me for a few days). But first, the scores after all the first round games:
Let me know if I made a calculation error somewhere. Otherwise,
Lew, Yut: 28
CT(!), misa: 27
Kitty, Steve, Yuhk: 25
me, YB: 24
Seth: 19
Jimyo: 16
Lew is totally [...]
Since we wanted to snorkel for 2 days, we picked 2 different companies: Quicksilver and Tusa Dive.
The particular Quicksilver package we picked took us on a huge air-conditioned boat that carried hundreds of people and drove us out pretty far out to what looked like a permanent platform. There were lots of people who [...]
We went to Australia for the last two weeks. Flew outta SFO on Friday, arrived in Sydney on Sunday (we crossed the date line), then connected to Cairns. We flew Qantas (our first time) and dude we really like Qantas. They had movies on demand and lots of food (edible!) and snacks [...]
