| Did a lot of cool stuff recently but too lazy to post about any of
them. Its nice to put up a picture about events, but web hosting
a large image is always a problem. I find it hard to justify
paying for a hosting service when I am just an infrequent and low
bandwidth user...oh well.
American LeMans at Laguna Seca was nice, but the freezing wind was
not. It was so cold and windy that I broke down and bought the
cheapest hoodie they have at the gift shop, at $50. I don't
regret buying it, because otherwise I will be paying $15 copay to see a
doctor plus another $10 to buy meds, not to mention lost wages from
taking sick days.
But what got my lazy ass to write this entry is due to event this weekend....
I went to a comedy club (SanJose Improv) with friends on Sunday,
it was pretty cool, till I felt asleep at the show from the alcohol I
had and the 4 hours of sleep I had the night before. I blame it
on the fact that the headliner was not the funniest dude around.
I came home and went to bed immediately, and woke up at midnight due to
hunger. Cooked an instant ramen, ate it, and proceed to break out
in hives within 30minutes. I wasn't sure what caused it, but I
never had skin allergies before. I had bumps all over my legs and
it was itchy as hell. Smeared a bunch of hydrocortizone cream all
over and it went away after a bit, but I lost a few hours of sleep dued
to that. Whatever I was allergic to will take a few days to clear
out of my system, so I decided to cook dinner at home.
1) I have no wok
2) I have no chopsticks
3) I have no rice
Yeah....after I moved, I haven't cooked once...I barely have any
seasonings at home. I don't have a colander, nor a cutting
board. I think a lot of people were shocked at the fact that I
don't own a pair of chopsticks, nor soy sauce. After work Monday,
I figured I would buy all the necessities at 99Ranch (your local chink
groceries).
Guess what...there is no wok in 99ranch.... NO WOK!!!!
Like..what kind of chinese supermarket would be without a wok?
It's not like I can walk down to the local "wok depot" and pick it
up....wth? They have rice cookers and water heaters, hot pot and
butane stoves....but no wok. For that matter, vegetables were all
bagged in plastic, rotting in its own condensation...wtf! I
haven't walked in a 99Ranch for a couple of years, and this is what
happened in the mean time? So I walked out of that place without
buying anything....needless to say, I had to eat out last night, and
tonight too, since my evening class gets out too late for me to do
grocery shopping at another asian supermarket.

| Hmm..yeah...so I went to a friend's wedding in LA on Sept 10th, it was
cool and all. Tons of ppl and I took tons of pictures
too...actually about 100 of them. Indoor digital photography
sucks when you don't have a steady hand, with the slow shutter speed
and long exposure time and all...I kinda needed a tripod.
You know who care for you by how late they stay at your wedding I
think. When they clear out barely past the dessert, you know they
are here purely for social obligation...shit...you probably invited
them out of social obligation too. But all that aside, its
awesome to have so many ppl that genuinely cares for you surrounding
you, cheering you on, and generally have a good time. The love
and care in the air was infectious.
Since the wedding was in downtown LA, I booked my hotel in Little Tokyo
just so it would be easy to get back and rest after getting pissed
drunk. It was only $6 cab ride back. Speaking of cab ride,
the driver coming back from the wedding was super shady. First of
all, he let the meter run while he was trying to give people directions
right at the hotel lobby. I am not against helping anyone, but 1
they can call a cab, 2 they are not stranded in the middle of no where,
3 those ppl were just wandering around on foot looking for the next
party to get drunk and wasted, 4 driver was actually trying to solicite
business, promising to come back and take them. Do you own
business mongering on your own dime you jackass! The meter ticked
quite a bit as he was taking his sweet time talking to these ppl, and
my party of 3 just got in the cab...not even out of the hotel driveway.
He knows he is running the meter...but he thinks we were too drunk to
realize. Then he plays like he doesn't know where the hotel is
at...keep muttering the name of the hotel searching his memory, while
at the same time glance at the back seat and me (I was in the front) to
see our reaction. Although I get quite red even half a sip of
beer, I was actually sober, but he probably couldn't be sure one way or
the other. So he didn't try to run around too much.
Oh...this is the best part...once at the destination, I pulled out a
$20. He asked whether we have change. Now don't give me
wrong, I am sure not every driver carries enough change if everyone
whips out a $20 at the end of their ride. The ride was 6 bucks,
so I told him I only want $10 bucks back. Considering it was
short, and we didn't mess up his car like puking drunks would, I
thought that was a fair tip. He seemed still reluctant to produce
change. When our eyes meet, that's when I know he is trying to
play that "I don't have change game". Would have been believable
too if he didn't start reaching for his wallet slowly, while I INSISTED
to my backseat passenger that I will pay for the ride. He knew I
wasn't so pissed drunk to give him that fat of a tip, and I thought I
won that game. Then the backseat guy whipped out a 20 and just
shoved it in the cabbie's hand, saying that he will just pay for
it. I can see the smile on the cabbie's face, because he knows
the guy in the backseat is too drunk to ask for change back, he knew he
won.
Some ppl may still think I looked too much into it...but here is the
bitch slap: he didn't put the money in his wallet, which he pretended
that was the only place he carried his money earlier while "searching
for possible change". He put the money into another
box/compartment, which clearly has some other greens in there that is
not of $20 denomination. What a dirty asshole...at least have
some decency to put away the money after I got out of the car with my
back turned. Even though I wasn't the one that got money conned
(It was Kaz, fool), it was tough to live it down, when victory was so
within reach.
So for all those who knows Kaz and want to comment how much he sucked, please do so.

| NJonHo: http://www.craigslist.org/sby/car/94884356.html
NJonHo: read the ad, click the picture
NJonHo: and BEWARE!
NJonHo: so i was getting off of work
NJonHo: and almost got hit
NJonHo: in my own company parking lot
NJonHo: because some bitch is driving this black celica convertble while on her cell phone
NJonHo: which was a WTF moment, but sort of to be expected to see driver distracted with cell phone
NJonHo: then the car roll by with a huge ass for sale sign
NJonHo: i was like WTFFF? the bitch was test driving the fucking car while on fucking cell phone? with a stick shift?
NJonHo: I decided to go on craigslist to see if the ad for that car is on there....SOB
anyways...the link to this car's picture can be found here: http://photos.yahoo.com/kichuraj
BEWARE......
It still confuses me why there is a need to talk on the cell while you
are test driving a car...don't you have a more important task at
hand? Like listening for strange noises from the car?
