electrocution

Washing machine is acting up again. My arm and hand are literally still tingling from the electrocution I just had. Whoa! What a way to wake up in the morning. I may keep it like this…
or go downstairs and kill somebody.

amazon-gone-wild

For a while there my old TiVo Series 2 thought I was gay. Despite a preponderance of war movies, skinemax, late night cop dramas, somehow, TiVo “got the wrong idea.” It took months of unnaturally testosterone-heavy action flick recording to convince him otherwise.
A few years ago, when Amazon.com’s recommendation engine wasn’t nearly as sophisticated as […]

Nam Hyun Joon

Nam Hyun Joon (aka Poppin’ Hyun Joon) is a dancin’, poppin’, body-rockin’ Korean maniac. This video is just one of many the proves he is fantastic.

I never like Offspring before.
While writing this post, I thought I would link back to another post I wrote about a brilliant “popper” called David Elsewhere. But, as has happened […]

elsewhere

In 2001 a skinny, nerdy, curly haired white boy took the stage at a yearly dance event called Kollaboration. He followed a fairly averagely talented asian kid on stage who had a done a pretty good job of working the crowd. David Bernal nervously got started on his routine. He shuffled around a bit, pumped […]

sordid past, in IM form

There’s this girl I’ve been getting to know. She’s cute and fun, but we never see each other. Tonight we had a surprise IM and got to learn a bit more about each other. I went too far but it worked out in the end. Names have been changed, spells have been checked, but otherwise […]

lock yourself to a tree

“Dude, don’t fall backwards, you could die!”
This is serious. You could really get hurt, I think. It’s really hard to tell without trying it for yourself. It’s also fucking hilarious. This is how to secure somebody, or yourself, to a tree without ropes or any other binding. God, I hope this is real.
Here’s the WW2 […]

honey roasted peanuts?

I really do love honey roasted, coated, whatever peanuts. That sweet AND salty, crispy coating is just one of my favorite things. For some reason, they are pretty hard to find here in Dubai. Today I was at a new “hyper” market in Festival City and I found a new brand. They turned out to […]

examples of unclear writing

When I was in NY cleaning out my apartment for the big move into storage, I stumbled upon a folder full of random papers and notes. I have no idea of the source and I have nobody to attribute this particular gem literally photocopied from a typewritten original - aka: not digital in any way. […]

$180

Sorry it’s been so long since last I wrote. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, stressful and busy, including some moments where I wasn’t so sure everything was going to work out.
But I am back in Dubai now, in my forced new apartment, with slick furniture and a near standstill, 1km, 30 minute commute. […]

anybody know a good mover in NYC?

Sorry I haven’t been writing. It’s been a hectic week so far. I’ll be actually moving out of my Astoria home for the retarded into a storage place in Staten Island near my parents. I am expecting to need about 150 square feet of storage space, so I assume I’ll need a movers with a […]
