... good pizza, I recommend this chain in NY with one branch in NJ and if not, then any corner in the city, but definitely not Sbarro's, why would you bother? And if you want Chinese or even Vietnamese food, it's better to make the trek into Flushing, Queens, and just experiment by pointing at things on the menu if there's no English. Or if you want Ukainian, there's two rather decent places down by ...

The High Life

... IS THE EXAM, AND IT IS EASY-PEASY (in my opinion) Gabi picks me and Zowie up and takes us out for lunch. It is Vietnamese food, and it is gargantuan, as Vietnamese food tends to be. After I finish the exam, I bike my sorry ass downtown, and spend my spree money on: -A bag -Adbusters -A Shirt And ...

Random links I found today

This article made me think of cloewen . I'd love to see how the mayor plans to enforce this... Awesome Vietnamese clothing! I wants! Interesting art. This one in particular looked very Pre-Raphaelite: Waterhouseish, perhaps? Just the pose... The Uncyclopedia entry on Obama isn't nearly as funny as it could be, but this article on his pre-presidential accomplishments is ...

We learn disturbing interesting things every day!

... is someone who has a very attractive face, but most people use the term to describe people who have become popular for their looks. AKA "mini celebs". Actually, there are Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese (possibly more) ulzzangs, too. To my knowledge, I guess it's like someone who gets popular by myspacing a lot. :/ Except, I heard that one ulzzang was SOOO popular, she was discovered and ...

... of the 17-day visit? :p after dinner, browsed outdoor equipment stores, as she wanted to get boots, a jacket. headed home, showed her her room. she disappeared into it. day 2: went for Vietnamese breakfast: pho, banh cuon. she can't get those in small town Holland. then hit the road, eastward to Hope then through snowy park territory to Princeton. almost ran out of gas again. these old cars ...

Day 1: Alec Mapa in Wisecrack (Stand-up comedy)

...and didn't deal--with his sexuality. That said, there are a couple parts that made me cringe: skip the bits about his performance at New York Pride (sign language jokes are not funny) and about the Vietnamese immigrant who rang up his orders at MacDonald's when he was a teenager. (Guess what? Making fun of people learning English is not funny, either. Come on, Alec. You know better than that.) ...

apparently thai do not traditionally use chopsticks, though they now use it for some dishes. anyway, while looking up the thai/vietnamese un/slightly-tapered palm wood chopsticks that i so want, i found this ridiculous survey: http://whatjapanthinks.com/2007/08/29/chopstick-bad-habits-in-oneself-and-others/ holding a bowl to your mouth and shoveling the food in is pretty chinese. i'm not sure...

BANGKOK ENTRIES

..., I decided to go online and had a rather long catching-up session with Markus. After some time I felt I had to get out somewhere and went down to Silom; there I met into this really nice Vietnamese guy (who spoke proper English thank god!). He happened to be this TV star / producer and we had some interesting conversation or two. By around nightfall I went to Or Tor Gor (again alone), and there I...

Always searching, for what's honey

... cute customer at work but I just know the last four digits of his credit card number. And maybe a first name that's more of a nickname for people who can't handle his... I imagine Vietnamese real name? Something probably southeast or central Asian. Luckily I made his latte rather decently I suppose? I think I actually had just the right consistency to make a rosetta in the foam but I sorta missed...
