Freak Out!!

These videos are way funnier if you understand Cantonese. Even if you don't, enjoy the sweet sounds of Chinese banshees wailing in denial and discontent.

Thank goodness I'm marrying Scottish. ;)

Coming Soon: Newspapers on the Internet

I think this internet thing is going to stick around for a while.

Miley Cyrus = Brooks & Dunn = Arsenal Football Club

I received an email from a charity auction today, selling signed celebrity memorabilia to raise money for the greater good of mankind. Sad to see that a Miley Cyrus guitar is going for the same price as a Brooks & Dunn guitar, which is going for the same price as a soccer jersey signed by the ENTIRE Arsenal team.

Maybe it's because there's a guy named Tom Cruise playing for Arsenal. That would bring down the value of your team for sure.

How to sell a bike on eBay

If you're not laughing your ass off, you have no soul.

Did you hear the joke about...

James Iha (guitarist from Smashing Pumpkins), Taylor Hanson (from... uh... Hanson), the bassist from Fountain of Wayne, and the drummer from Cheap Trick walk into a bar one day...

A Quiet Anniversary

I looked at the date today and realized... it's been a a full year since I've moved to London. Hmm. Wish I had clued in to that earlier, I might have made it a bigger deal of it than working a full night on my freelance projects. I did have a beautiful roast pork dinner made by Jules though, and it was so good it can be considered a celebration on its own. So no complaints.

Looking back at my first blog, I've come a long way since I stepped into that Zoom flight a year ago. I've seen places I've never seen, heard accents I still can't understand, and worked jobs that has given me interesting experiences (and stories). Most importantly, Jules and I have defeated the nay sayers by being extremely happy together still.

Not bad for Year One.

Who steals chicken? Honestly?

Some of you know that my workplace delivers lunch to our desks daily, all of which are supplied by Marks and Spencer's. Each of us have a modest daily budget to order with, but some of us have devised an ingenius plan of ordering large portions of chicken and then rationing throughout the week. For me, these chicken portions have been vital for my pre-Jiu Jitsu class meal, so I look forward to making my chicken sandwich at 5pm every tuesdays and thursdays.

This morning, I open up our fridge to find that SOMEONE HAS STOLEN MY CHICKEN. Not only that, but the bastard just left the empty container in the fridge for me to clean up. This is like stealing candies from a child and then handing back the wrappers. NOT COOL.

Now I know what most of you are thinking right now: "he hasn't blogged in a while, and his first blog in a month is about chicken?"

Right. But who steals chicken, honestly?
