Hockey is Like Kindergarten

May 12th, 2008

I had never been to a hockey game before, but thanks to eBay (my first time on eBay, believe it or not), I scored tickets to the last weekend Sharks game which was sold out. … I thought it was amusing that when a player commits a penalty, they are confined to a clear “box” called the penalty box, like being grounded or wearing a dunce cap facing the corner of a wall.

Manga Reception

September 3rd, 2007

Last week, thanks to a friend, I went to Asian Art Museum in San Francisco and saw the current special exhibit on manga which was pretty good. Some of the stories are just weird, but I guess that’s not out of the ordinary? The exhibit runs until September 9th.
