Haphazard

USA is playing Ghana tonight at 10:00PM. I'd like to go to Fubar and watch the game, but I don't think there is any chance of the U.S. winning. Besides, Soho street is going to be totally dead compared to Tuesday night, which witnessed a mass Canadian pilgramage to Fubar for the Stanley Cup finals (did you know that there is a hockey team called The Hurricanes? I didn't.) and featured for the first time in history hot Taiwanese girls drinking at PJ's. The girls were watching Germany-Ecuador, and PJ was watching (and chatting up) the girls. At some point, one of the girls said PJ was too hua xin, and I got tapped to translate. Heh. Flower heart indeed, PJ.

I don't know who the blogger is behind Wandering to Tamshui , but he's got a pretty good post up about a book about wedding photography in Taiwan. Money quote:
Adrian concludes, in part, that the photographs? appeal comes from their lack of authenticity. They suggest that the bride once looked beautiful and lived a glamorous life before marriage and family broke her down. In this sense, the bride?s future self is one of the intended audiences for the pictures, as she can use the images in future conflicts with her husband and in-laws as evidence of the wear on her health and beauty from marriage and family.

The Hitler vs. Coulter Quiz
Lame. Ann Coulter is so 2003. I'd write more, but I am pretty busy wrapping my comically irrelevant charges in a haze of lies. Or maybe a haze of smoke.

===========================================================

Lastly, from The Onion AV Club, Classic Movies It's Okay To Hate. I'm just glad The Big Lebowski is named. That movie sucks. Not funny. Not interesting. Not worth it. Ann Coulter probably doesn't like it either.

My Mom LOVED the family picture album we got made here. In fact, she thinks there would be a huge market for this in the USA.

Okay, Ann Coulter or Adolf Hitler...who would you rather have some drinks with?

It's sick, but I think I'd choose Hitler.

But I forgot that he's a teetotaler (how do you pronounce that.

BTW, I'm STILL not over losing that game...don't know why it's sticking in my craw.
