Why I feel like a loser driving around in a 20-year-old Accord
There are parallels to be drawn between Seattle culture and Silicon Valley culture - outdoorsiness, environmental friendliness, and geeky-hip-computer-business (that only works if you say it "bizzy-ness ( Read more... ) -
Jade Guanyin
I just finished watching this Chinese TV serial that my co-worker lent me. Jade Guanyin (玉观音) is based on a popular novel and set in the mid-90s, right before cell phones got big (which made it really frustrating to watch). In any case, there were 27 installments and I watched the first one way back in September. It took me a while to get into it, ( Read more... ) -

Subway Hold-up
On my way to Flash class tonight I stopped by the Subway shop right outside Pike Place Market for some dinner. The clerk began to make my sandwich but then she stopped after cutting the bread and asked me if I had a phone to call the police. She told me the store had just been robbed. I think she was too shaken up to call the cops herself. Or else ( Read more... ) -
