Blue Ginger

On our way to Maine, we stopped off in Wellesley to have lunch at Blue Ginger, a restaurant owned by our Asian brother, Ming Tsai from Ming's Quest and East Meets West. Justine had cheeseburger sliders and I had a Korean steak sandwich. They were decent, not great. Oh well. At least we got to see Ming.......






J/K! He wasn't really there....

Maine, here I come!

Justine and I are off to the great state of Maine (that one's for you, Phil) tomorrow, more specifically Cape Elizabeth. It's a small coastal place just south of Portland, about 5.5 hours away from NYC. It'll be cold but I guess I'll be getting myself ready for my trip to Reykjavik next weekend!

Here's a pic of the famous lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth.

A new Nikkor prime lens

So I just recently found out that Nikon is releasing a new prime lens. The AF-S Nikkor 35mm f1.8 DX lens. It's scheduled to go on sale sometime in March for $200.

Now I'm wondering if I should sell my 30mm Sigma 1.4 that I just purchased off a dude on Craigslist. Anyway, this is exciting news for all DX format Nikon SLR owners, especially for those with the D40/D60 with no motor rod thingee.

The Greatest Game Ever?

Well, I don't know about that, but the game is strangely addictive and fun. Yes, very dorky and geeky, but very fun, nevertheless. If you haven't played it, go get it. It's called "Settlers of Catan"! And i'm crazy! CRAZY I say!

UFC 95

UFC 95 is on at 9 PM and best of all, it's free on Spike! Although the event has already concluded because it was held in London, my money is on Sanchez winning by TKO in Rd 2.

Crazy dog

I think she wins the "most psycho dog in the world that thinks she's a cat" award.

Valentine's Day 2009

With the state of the economy, Justine and I decided to celebrate Valentine's at home by cooking for each other. The 21 day aged T-bone wasn't as tender as expected, so that was a disappointment, but otherwise, it was a nice night.

If anyone has a bunch of wine corks they don't know what to do with, make a trivet!

Some pics from Fort Myers Beach

Here's some surfer dude in Naples, FL.

That pelican wasn't scared of anything.

Pain in the neck

I wonder who came up with the phrase, "pain in the neck". Well, this pain in my neck that I've had for the past 5 months now is a real pain in the neck. Strangely, it's not just the neck but it also moves around to random spots all over my back, sides of my ribs, and the front of my chest. It's really weird. Sharp pain, dull pain, pain like someone's poking me with a needle, pain like a bruise, I just can't put my finger on this darn thing. Does anyone know a real-life Dr. House?

Inaugural Post

I gotta figure out how to use this thing.
