Omurice

By Mike Lin

I have been watching this ridiculous Japanese drama with some friends called Lunch Queen. It’s about this girl that really loves lunch, and in particular this dish omurice. In the more dramatic moments she ends up giving monologues about how much lunch means to her, and how lunch specials give her hope to keep on living. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be serious, but I find it hilarious.

Here’s a picture of omurice I had in Taipei when I was last there:

Ducks on Ice

By Mike Lin

Animals are like children, in that it’s amusing when they fall over, or bonk into things etc.

Like today Poki the dog tried to get his head onto my lap from beneath the table, and bonked his head on the table’s side. Oh how we laughed.

Neither do animals stop to look around to see if anyone noticed.

Chocolate Fountain

By Mike Lin

The invite for my office christmas party, which is tonight, claims there will a ‘Chocolate Buffet’. Intrigued by the concept and wishing to educate myself further, I consulted Google Image Search. From there I found this link. I had to quote this from the page will with full html to get the full effect:

The Chocolate
Fountain not only is perfect for different flavors of

chocolate (dark chocolate, milk
chocolate, white chocolate, etc.) it also works
great as a caramel fountain, cheese fondue
fountain, or even a BBQ
fountain…the options are almost
endless…Marinara Fountain, nacho cheese fountain,
cheddar cheese fountains, Butterscotch Fountains, Peanut Butter
Fountains, Cookies & Cream Fountains, Chocolate Fountains
flavored with: Mint, Coconut, Orange, Coffee – the list
goes on!!

Holy crap! That’s the most awesome thing ever! Here people are wasting there time drinking liquidized food from underwhelming glasses when they could be drinking in the assault on the senses that a peanut butter fountain must be. If I am ever extravagantly wealthy, I will make it mine.
