I find this story highly amusing. Teacher asked class to draw something that “reminds them of Christmas”. Second grade kid drew dead Jesus on the cross (and told teacher it was himself). Teacher, concerned about the kid’s underlying violent tendencies, sent him for psychiatric evaluation. Community got furious, labeling it as an antichrist execution of the
Broken Hands
For the past 10 months, I thought 2009 was a pretty bad year and couldn’t wait for it to be over. Around New Year 2010, however, I “broke” my left hand. According to the doc, it’s “just” an inflammation. I think the formal name is deQuervain’s Tendinitis, but I wouldn’t quote myself on that :p The cause
Storm Riders II
Storm Riders is an epic comic series started in 1989 and still going strong today. It was a top legend in Hong Kong’s comic book industry, likely being the most praised and most referenced work of all times. It was also my absolute favorite epic story… for a long time. The series started going downhill
李獻計歷險記
It’s been a while since the average independent short film freely available on the Internet was better crafted than the average Hollywood movie that you have to pay $15 at a theater for. However, I had never been this impressed before seeing this piece: ?????? (Lee’s Adventures). If I hadn’t glanced at the forum comments first, I
New Year’s Eve From Above (Part 2)
Happy New Year. Logically, however, I don’t see what’s there to be so happy about it. New Year happens on roughly 0.3% of the days, which is a lot more common than your birthday if you were born on February 29th. A new year means a rent increase, a new set of work goals to
New Year’s Eve From Above (Part 1)
The Times Square ball drop is one of the biggest events in the world on New Year’s Eve, and the ball that drops is practically right outside my office window on a year-round basis. This New Year’s Eve, over the option of staying home to play video games with myself, I chose to commute into the city
Q4 2009 Recap
Haven’t updated my blog in a while so here’s a half-assed quick round-up of interesting things that happened. Gotta do this before 2010 hits! On Nov 14, Hong took me ice skating for the very first time. It was supposedly disappointing that I didn’t fall on my ass. On Nov 21, I participated in my first
Not Sure How To Title This
Adding to the list of subway signs that should trigger an alarm: when a dozen people pour out of one door as you attempt to board at a non-attraction station. We have all learned by experience to avoid empty subway cars, half-empty cars, and dark ones. But when I boarded this afternoon finding myself among
What’s With Our Country?
Two of the hottest current headlines: people oppose the use of public or private insurance funds to kill embryo cells, yet get upset that doctors may no longer recommend an ineffective and potentially harmful procedure for women. Although the majority of our society isn’t about making sense, people should realize that our tax dollars are already used
The Prime Terror
Eco-terrorists value the lives of animals or plants more so than they do their own kind: ALF blows up animal laboratories and meat packaging plants; Sea Shepherd Conservation Society attacks fishermen and their boats; others burn down houses, injure hunters and loggers, etc. The FBI considers eco-terrorism the #1 domestic terror threat. They might have
