Here I am, to share some amusing things.

On Hand Washing
While eating at The Spice Cafe (a local Thai restaurant) with my friend Owen, the following funny thing didst take place: when the waiter brought water to our table, the hand holding Owen's glass was gloved, while the hand holding my glass was bare. I asked Owen "Which of us should be more afraid?" And we laughed. Ha.

When our food was brought, the opposite hands were gloved: this waiter held my food in a gloved hand and Owen's food in a bare hand.

Still wondering what the hell was going on, I went to use the rest room. A sign hanging in the rest room explained it all. It said, very clearly, Employee Must Wash Hand.

On The Mix of Sports and Entertainment

A recent ad for the NBA finals had ad copy that nearly made me do a spit take. It was talking about, you know, the drama of the NBA, the hard-hitting action, blood and guts sort of stuff. It ended with the announcement "With a special halftime performance by Jewel!"

On Metal Gear Solid 2

After about a year and a half break, I beat the game today. Great control, great graphics, the worst story I've ever encountered in a game or film or book or child's imagination. "All your base are belong to us" makes more sense than this shit. I refer you to this Penny-Arcade comic which makes fun of it.
