Wow, Really?


I haven't done grocery shopping since my parents came back from Taiwan, but I'm pretty sure 1.395kg of top sirloin steak don't normally sell at $12.30 CDN. The expiry date is still good too.

I feel like I just robbed Safeway, Jesus fucking Christ.

I'ma Gonna Be Edjumacated

I got accepted into UBC for Computer Science.


I will complete this in 2 years instead of 4 because it will be my second Bachelor's degree. My first degree was in Commerce, specializing in Human Resource Management, also from UBC. 

Not bad for my 94th blog post, eh? (I may be good at math, but I never said I know how to count!)

Big thank you to my mother who will be paying for the $11,000 tuition and the $1200 laptop I ordered. 

Happy Mother's Day!

Shit Chinese People Eat: Chicken Butt

The only things we can't eat from the air, land, and sea
are planes, cars, and boats.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I may not have sucked on any balls while I was in Taiwan, but I did eat a lot of ass.


On sticks, no less. They come deep fried, grilled, or marinated and are absolutely fucking delicious.

Yes, these little gems are made up of just skin, and fat, and bones; but be aware of the hollow shafts that lurk within. A hollow shaft (otherwise known as the calamus or the quill) is the very tip of a feather that is embedded inside the skin of a chicken. They are more commonly found in bigger butts because bigger butts have more feathers and so are more easily missed in the cleaning/plucking stage.

Just to be clear, hollow shafts are not edible -- at least, I don't think they are but I'm pretty sure I have swallowed some before. The happy news is that they won't kill you.

In any case, do enjoy this fatty, greasy, high calories, high cholesterol, heartburn and heart attack inducing snack!

Mmm, deep fried chicken butts on a stick.
