2014-10-27T12:04:00.001-07:00

Been a while since I posted here but I love this parody by Jim Carrey. Just had to share. Spoofing Lincoln who's trying I think way to hard trying to convert their brand from grandpa car to young and hip.

Really? Need for Speed movie?

2013-09-25T22:31:00.001-07:00

So they're really making a movie out of the video game Need for Speed? I didn't even know that video game had a plot. I can't wait for the movie Grand Theft Auto...

In other news, some douchbag decided to play Grand Theft Auto in real life. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/man-steals-truck-kidnaps-woman-reenacting-grand-theft-auto-article-1.1466867

"Part of the solution is education" So true. Hate is ignorance.

Wow - new Ferrari Ferrari 458 Speciale

2013-09-25T10:17:00.001-07:00

The coolest thing about this car is probably that it has active aerodynamics. Damn. I had never been a big fan of the way the new 458 looked but this is just cool.

More details here.

Honestly, you're a douche if you are, especially if you're actually speaking it out loud. The whole point of hashtags is to create searchable keywords.

Time to get my geek on

If you think my life revolves around food..

2013-09-23T21:51:00.001-07:00

You're probably right.

Sample Haas grub

Little Sheep hot pot (oddly, owned by the same company that owns KFC and Taco Bell)

The Counter. Who charges more for a "bowl"?

Cocola for some "real" macchiato

Random Kim bap

And Vietnamese pancakes

Why is it raining today?

2013-09-21T19:06:00.001-07:00

More food!

2013-09-21T13:51:00.001-07:00

Yeah. I'm a pig. Nom nom.

Pork and shrimp egg rolls

Vietnamese omelette.

Broken rice plate

Passionfruit juice

Rice rolls

Finished up with some Korean BBQ

Food and diet

2013-09-21T09:22:00.001-07:00

Home cooked meals are usually the best. Though the food may be too good. Gained like 15-20 lbs since. Time to go back on a diet.

Giving > Having.

This is a really touching video, directed and filmed beautifully. Touches you to the core and really addresses a key issue of humanity.

Ted talk - art of misdirection.

2013-09-16T23:03:00.000-07:00

The amazing art of misdirection. Simply stunning. I can't follow what he is doing even though he explicitly says he'll do it.

Home made Vietnamese food

2013-09-14T14:36:00.001-07:00

I do love home made Vietnamese food, though I'm not too used to the herb that is used with the chicken or the gelatin dessert. The green bean dessert was good though.

Kiwi's crushing US. America's Cup finals.

2013-09-12T00:13:00.001-07:00

I had the privilege to be on a big boat to witness up close and personal the Kiwi's crushing Oracle in the first race and the Oracle tossing in their towel before that could be repeated in the 2nd race. Bad day indeed. Hope thy recover.

Nothing like fresh donuts

How is this legal? Peanut butter + chocolate chip spread. On Vanilla Wafers.

Mr Pickles Belmont

2013-09-09T18:38:00.001-07:00

Although Mr. Pickles is a franchise (they're everywhere), they are not consistent at all. The one place that tops them all is the Mr. Pickles in Belmont. So good I happily eat the sandwich there after my bike ride, in spandex.

Behold, the Abott on Dutch crunch. Bacon, avacado, turkey, and lots of love.

Cream Ice Cream Sandwiches

2013-09-09T11:22:00.001-07:00

So I didn't opt for the ice cream taco cause I thought it was just insane, but I'm still astounded that Cream can build a whole business out of fresh baked cookies and ice cream. It's-It could have cornered the market!

Goodies from SoCal!

In my honest opinion, I think their baked breads and buns are just "okay". Kee Wah is probably just as good. Their cakes, moon cake, and more specialized fruit tarts like the mango delight is spectacular. I would highly recommend skipping the cheap stuff and going for the more expensive goodies. There's a good reason they coat more.

It is interesting that they're so popular here. My father called it the Starbucks of Taiwan as they first started life as a coffee shop that significantly undercut Starbuck's coffee price to steal business and remain competitive.

They need to have this in the Olympics

2013-09-08T19:57:00.001-07:00

I would go watch, cause it would be a sold out crowd.

Thai for dinner

2013-09-07T22:26:00.001-07:00

Been craving pineapple fried rice since I went to Thai food last time and we didn't get any. Craving definitely satisfied. Also the first time I tried Thai iced coffee. Pretty tasty treats!

Stanford Tailgating

Sometimes the best comes out during a tailgate. The creativity seen here is just amazing, and the tasty homemade treats was almost a religious experience.

May I present to you, double stuffed Oreos sandwiching a Reese's, dipped in chocolate.
