I got some Celestial Seasonings Imperial White Peach tea today and it has made for quite an enjoyable drinking experience this evening. A delicate but yet sweet blend leaving me wanting more, and fortunately, the flavor lasts into the third cup! I think Celestial Seasonings produces fantastic teas on the whole and I highly recommend…

Year of the Golden Pig
Happy Chinese New Year – the year of the golden pig! Yesterday I joined in on a Chinese New Years celebration and had some tasty traditional Chinese cuisine (not the American style). I watched the participants make the food on-the-spot. Update to post on too many boys in China: More bad news for Chinese men,…
Too many boys in China
I feel bad for Chinese men. Check out this video from CNN.com: (Video: China: Too many boys?). The country is running out of girls. In fact, in the urban areas, for every 118 boys, there are only 100 girls. In rural areas, there are 130 boys for every 100 girls! By 2020, the government predicts…
Ridiculous!
Check out this article about a parent complaining about the showing of “An Inconvenient Truth” in science class. It’s one of those reads where I just shake my head, and the fact that it’s in Seattle suburb (my hometown area) makes it even more unbelievable to me. “An Inconvenient Truth” should be shown in every…
An apple a day…

While apples have a relatively small amount of Vitamin C compared to other fruits (particular citrus), they are packed with disease-fighting antioxidants in the form of flavanoids. Antioxidants are critical in fighting cancer and…
Fidelity by Regina Spektor
Above is the video for the song “Fidelity” by Regina Spektor. The song has been getting some airplay and when I heard it for the first time, I wasn’t sure what to think of it. After all, it’s not the typical music genre for me, but hey, I listen to all kinds of music. Anyway,…
Apocalypto
On Thursday I saw Mel Gibson’s new movie Apocalypto in a pre-screening. I thought the movie was very entertaining, essentially a Gibsonesque film in a new and unique setting. Once the action started to roll, it was non-stop thrill until the end. The movie is nearly 2.5 hours long, but I was gripped by the…
Ski Season Already?
Today I had a great run of the Dish loop, running gate-to-gate in 20:50, my first official time under 21 minutes. The weather was perfect with temps in the mid-50’s and very little wind. I love running when it’s so nice outside! The total run time was just about 46 minutes (the usual, because I…
Borat Speaking Hebrew
Election Results = 🙂 , 🙂 one for the House, and one for the Senate! I saw the movie Borat yesterday and it was ridiculous as expected, almost borderline too ridiculous. I’ve seen many of the Borat clips on YouTube.com and thought there were some hilarious moments. The movie is basically more of the same…
