Areca Nut (aka Betel Nut)

Apparently, the palm tree growing behind our house is an Areca Palm, because Nam pulled these off it today. I tried chewing betel nut a few years ago with Nam’s…

    Resurrection

    June 7, 2005 /

    I decided to check around on some of my favorite “dead” sites – ones that people quit updating some time ago due to job issues, necrophilia rehab, deep vein thrombosis, etc. – and was most pleasantly surprised, inspired even, in fact, let me ask you this: If a retarded kid falls in the forest, does it make a slapping sound? SHE’S BACK.

    Airin

    June 6, 2005 /

    Pronounced as the answer to, “What do you call a Japanese woman with no arms and no legs, propped against a wall?” The following quotes are from the unbelievably retarded Yomiuri article located here: LINK Cheap hotels in Osaka day laborer district lure foreign tourists Kahori Sakane / Daily Yomiuri Staff Writer Five budget hotels in the Airin district of Nishinari Ward, Osaka, which have typically catered to day laborers, are seeing an unexpected increase in foreign and Japanese tourists looking for inexpensive lodging. Okay so far; it’s no surprise that tourists are attracted to rooms cheaper than $80 a night (a fairly average hotel room price). But this article…

    Hey, I just realized that George Takei’s face really reminds me of my uncle Tosh… But in a way I can’t really put my finger on. Maybe it’s the bone structure or something, but I’m telling you, if George put on that “Kimchee Power” t-shirt that my uncle used to wear on our trips to Lake Powell, it just might fool you. It seems my uncle and Mr. Takei shared similar experiences growing up, as well. (article via)

    The Swap

    June 2, 2005 /

    When I visit home I always make it a point to hit the swap meet, if not for actual shopping, then for the cultural appeal. Swap meets and flea markets have always held a special charm for me, in every country I’ve ever visited. I’ve made some of my most prized acquisitions at these venues, as well. Has anybody else noticed that indoor swap meets usually suck? There’s definitely more allure to an outdoor market, in my mind.

    Hi!

    June 2, 2005 /

    I poke your eye out! So this is it. Right about now, the sweet memories of my vacation to Thailand are almost completely pushed out of my day-to-day consciousness, so I decided to post my best photo in an effort to fight off the effects of the grind. I got to close to this silly bird at an ostrich farm located only 15 minutes from Nam’s house, adjacent to a riverside restaurant where we were invited to lunch. I leaned over a rail while looking through my camera’s viewfinder and got a bit too close, and realized I had entered within striking distance just before I hit the shutter release……
