Voltron
Remember Voltron?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uS5b8aQ6z8
Pretty advanced for the time period.
Voltron - Defender of the universe.
He Man - Master of the universe.
Voltron would kick He-Man butt any day. No question about that. Maybe He-Man should reconsider his title to something like "Master of his castle and green tiger".

I Don't think Surfing is my natural born talent
Yesterday i went surfing for the very first time. Conclusion..... I don't think surfing is my natural born talent. Oh well, maybe i'll discover it a little later.
I toted my friend's 7+ foot longboard into the ice cold waters of Newport Beach. After some brief instruction on the beach i was on my own. Now I have had some experience catching waves with a boogie board so i'm thinking to myself "just catch it like normal but just stand up on the board". No biggie, right? Wrong.
I wade into the numbing cold water and i can barely feel my feet. It doesn't take long to get used to the coldness but its a big initial shock. Long boards are great because its effortless to catch a wave. Its so buoyant that all you have to do is just point the board in the right direction and you're on your way. The high buoyancy allows the waves to push the board effortlessly. This a double edged sword. Since the waves push the board effortlessly, its also makes it very difficult to get out into the deeper surf. I spent most of my time just battling the waves while holding the 7+ foot long board. Now I'm a pretty decent swimmer but at 135lbs i don't even put a dent into the 5 foot waves.
Score at the end of the day
Pacific Ocean : 1
Jeff Wu: 0
Was it fun?
Oh yeah! No doubt. I was able to stand up twice and ride the wave towards shore.
For a brief second, i was surfing.

Super Fantastic Food Fest 2008
*Super Fantastic Food Fest 2008
*I'm a fan of these tv shows that are dedicated to
travel and food. I've been thinking, when i'm wide awake at 5am because of jet lag, that i can
lead a mini tour that exhibits all the special eats of the San Gabriel Valley area. After all, i did grow up in "little China/Taipei" and have a pretty good knowledge of the local restaurants.
Tours are starting for Super Fantastic Food Fest 2008 starting Saturday Feb 23rd.
> Itinerary:
Round 1
We start out in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley
on Garfield and Valley. We will visit the first "The Hat" restaurant famous
for its Pastrami sandwich and steak fries. To save room in our stomach, we'll only observe as
people shove their face with fatty goodness. From there we will walk to eat
skillet fried pork buns and steamed dragon dumplings. This restaurant exhibits the Northern Chinese cuisine which relies heavily on flour/dough. These buns/dumplings are filled with ground pork and they ooze pork juice when you bite into them. To finish off with
something sweet we'll do a short walk to drink boba milk tea and/or yogurt.
Before Round 2 of more eating we'll drive to a local bowling alley and bowl
away some calories before continuing super food fest 2008.
After going to Japan and Taiwan, i've been hooked on yakitori. Little bites
of grilled meat goodness. Luckily I've found a local
pub place that serves up these grilled pieces of yummy. Grilled chicken
wings, beef teriyaki skewers, bacon wrapped asparagus and best of all,
chicken hearts. Don't fill up too much because we're ending the night with late
night noodles at Noodle Planet. Almost like planet hollywood but minus the
hollywood and add a lot of asian people and noodles. They serve up any type
of noodle you want. Viet, Thai, Chinese. They've got it all and they're
open late.
